Proposal by Implication


Gilbert Dorrison was on the friendliest
terms with himself as he paced up and
down the deck Of the giant Atlantic liner
the Aroma on a lovely morning In the
September following that flying and SEN
sational visit Of his to Petherby Manor.
on the day Of Lord Br0adstone's mar
riage.
Everything was going well with him:
and. while appropriately grateful to For
tune for her smiles. he felt that the main
causes Of his success were his own clev-
erness and abilities.
In the matter of his cousins marriage
in particular he plumed himself upon his
management. He wanted the barony and
meant to have 1t. The marriage, If legal.
was quite likely to bar him. Of course
while. by an old proviso in the family
deeds, the heir to the title received f1.UOO
q year, 20 long as the holder was unnar-
ried.
But it had suited him not to stop the
marriage. He was confident that Lord
Broadstone's first wife was living. al
though for the moment she could not be
found: and 1t was obvious that his cousin
could not afford to quarrel with him and
stop that ZOO year with such a secret
between them. Indeed. as Broadstone

houses under Collector Stone, died yester-
day afternoon at his residence here as a
result Of protracted illness.
Mr. Blair had been in bad health for
over a year and at the time of his death

SUGAR PRODUCERS HEARD
QUESTIONS ASKED By WAYS
AND MEANS COMMITTEE.
Henry T. Oxnard, F. B.. Hathaway
and D. D. Colcock Give
Their Views

The tariff on sugar. both beet and cane.
was the subject today before the ways
and means committee of the House Of
Representatives which is holding hearings
on the proposed revision of the tariff.
Henry T. Oxnard, who is engaged in
the beet growing and sugar refining bust
ness, and also raises cane to some extent,
was the principal witness this morning.
He was on the stand for nearly an hour.
He said he believed the increased con-
sumption of sugar in this country was due
not only to the fact that people were sat
isfied with the price, but that they were
prosperous under the protection policy OF
the party In power.
Representative Champ Clark of Mis-
souri, anIed to know IL the increased
consumption was not due to the fact that
sugar was cheaper in comparison with
other staples than 1T was ten years ago.
Mr.. Oxnard, in reply, quoted again the.
figures in his table showing the increase.
In answer to a question, Mr.. Oxnard
said he was vice president of the Amerl-
can Beet Sugar Company. which operated
six out of the sixty-three factories In
the country He denied that his company
was in any way allied with the sugar
trust in the fixing of prices. He didn't
know whether any of the stock OF the
trust was owned by anybody in his
company or vice versa.
Large Profits Denied
Mr. Oxnard asserted that on a capital
Of SEC, 600 900 invested in the beet sugar
industry in this country not more than
per cent of profit had been made In the
past ten years.
Isn't it a fact" asked Representative
Underwood of Alabama. that the pres
ent tariff on refined sugar is practically
prohibitive?"
1T is about on that line was Mr. Ok
nard's reply.
You mean some foreign sugar comes
in?" asked Mr.. Underwood.
Yes, a little
But practically none?'
Yes, practically.
wanted to know whether the government
wouldn't get more revenue if IL removed
the differential tariff on refined sugar
and put it on the raw material. Mr..
the revenue would be little greater that
way, and the profits on American sugar
might not be decreased thereby
F. r. Hathaway Of Detroit, represent
ing the Michigan Sugar Company, pro-
duced elaborate tables Of figures to show
that the beet sugar business in his state
was not reaping very large profit He
said the beet sugar industry had grown
to be d mighty important business TO
the farmers of the land. Nearly $13,-
600, 900 was being paid out today to the
farmers Of the country for the beets
they delivered last month, he declared.
This amount. he said, was only about 40
per cent of the money that would be paid
for the total crop of this year.
Alleged Declaration of Refiners.
Col. D. D. Colcock. representing the
Louisiana cane sugar growers. charged
that the sugar refineries dictate the price
Of raw cane sugar, and also control the
prices of the refined product to the con-
sumner.
He was unable to suggest any change
In the tariff which would enable the
cane sugar growers to secure fair price
for their product
