SECRETARY WRIGHT
AIDS BEET GROWERS

case there is no reason why the islands
should affect the market until the beet
and cane sugar produced within the
tariff walls increases 100000 tons.
Before the beet sugar industry is
in the slightest danger 1t must increase
from 100000 tons annually to 100000
tons, and from annual reports II would
take fifty years to do this"
Chairman Payne indicated that the
possible action of the committee with
regard to sugar schedule would be to
recommend that a certain amount of
the sugar be admitted free of duty
each year and that the present tariff
be imposed on any above that amount.
He told Secretary Wright that the
menace, if any, was from the Cuban
sugar, which enjoyed a reduction in
the tariff of 20 per cent.
Philippine Tariff Vital
He admitted that the Philippine tar
iff was so important a question that 1t
might not be considered as being strict
~ a part of the work of revising the
Dingley tariff. but would be taken up
separately.
Secretary Wright said the produc-
ton of sugar in the Philippines would
not increase to any extent.
Representative Fordney of Michigan,
who has large number Of sugar beet
farmers among his constituents, told
the secretary that the same argument
was put forth with regard to the Gu
ban sugar several months ago, and yet
the production in Cuba had increased
very largely and the American beet
sugar industry had not increased very
much.
THE best sugar people say that the
American Sugar Refining company has
no interest in their factories said the
secretary referring to the so-called
trust, "yet three years ago they said
a trustee understood to represent the
American Sugar Refining company,
owned 81 per cent of the stock of all
the beet sugar factories. That may
be the reason why the beet sugar in
dustry in this country has not grown,
rather than the importation of Cuban
sugar There has been no reduction
in the prices of sugar in a number of
years."
The hearing will be continued to-
morrow, when the independent" re-
finers are expected to argue for IT.

Asks for CHANGE of Venue

Stating what the affidavit was, Doz-
Ter said:
Upon this affidavit, sworn to by the
defendant, Abraham Ruef, I hereby
make application for change of venue
from this court to some other court of
coordinate jurisdiction in the state of
California, where the conditions exist
ing in this court do not obtain"
The affidavit consumed about twenty
minutes in reading. BY far the greater
part of the affidavit consisted of re-
lation of all the circumstances con-
nected with the Ruef trial since its
commencement.
The shooting in the court room Fri
day; the subsequent excitement; the
mass meetings and other assemblages
held throughout the city and else
where since that time are described in
full and every allegation set forth is
calculated to show an excited state of
the public mind, calculated to injure
the cause of the defendant.
In part it is said that a conspiracy
has been charged involving the de-
PENDANT in responsibility for the shoot
ing and that the jury not having been
Informed of all the circumstances, has
drawn erroneous differences as to the
actual happenings.

Balconies Are Empty

The balconies above the main floor on
both sides of the hall were empty, no
one being admitted upstairs.
At $3.50 the bailiff raped for order
and Judge Lawlor mounted the bench
Promptly at J. o'clock Henry Ach and
Thomas B. Dozier, Ruef's counsel, en-
tered the court room and each one, ac-
companied by a plain clothes man, took
their customary seats.
Three minutes later the jury came in
through their private entrance in the
rear of the building. After disposing
of several cases on his calendar, Judge
Lawlor called Ruefs case Assistant
District Attorney O'Gara announced
Messrs. Sullivan, Johnson and Dwyer
would assist the prosecution and asked
that their names be entered upon the
record.
Dozier then arose and announced the
defense had a motion to make based
upon some affidavits, the reading of
which would consume considerable
time The court admonished the jury
and sent the twelve men out.

took the place where Mr.. Heney sat
when he was shot Friday.
Joseph ]. Dwyer, one of three attor-
neys who have volunteered to take
UP the prosecution of Ruef where it
was so tragically halted, was the next
to enter the court room and was fol-
lowed by Matthew 1. Sullivan and
Hiram Johnson, the other two lawyers
who will assist the district attorney S
office.
All Seats Filled
Up to $3.50 not more than hundred
people had been admitted to the court
room, but fifteen minutes later all the
seats were filed. No one was allowed
to stand up. The moment some one
arose in his chair some of the plain
clothes detectives edged in that direc-
ton and uniformed policeman was
certain to clap a hand on the shoulder
of the standing person and order him
to sit down.
Very few of the old familiar faces
of the persons who have followed the
Ruef trial and other bribery graft
cases, and were in attendance daily,
were to be seen in the court room.
The spectators were of more different
class and character.
There were some prominent business
men, numerous ministers of the gospel
from various churches, many members
of the organization known as the cit1-
GEMS league of justice and a few wo-
men.

Jury Has Wrong Impression

Jury T1dS "iOHS tifPiNSS'S'
1t is said that the jury will or has
learned that Ruef is in custody and
that he is supposed to have been in
some way connected with the shooting;
that the appearance of three new at
torneys in the case will lead the jury
to believe that they have been employed
by the people of San Francisco.
Another point made is that the de-
Tense has not had an opportunity to
examine the jurors or any of them as
to their acquaintance or relations
which any Of three attorneys now be-
come of record. In conclusion the prln-
cipal affidavit aftirms:
"Affiant is informed and believes
that there exists in the city of San
Francisco a fierce and burning bias
and prejudice against him and that his
life is in constant danger; that there
win probably occur during his journeys
to and from the court room scenes of
violence and turbulence calculated to
still further prejudice his cause; that
the lives of his counsel are in danger
and that they are not in proper frame
of mind to give to his case the atten-
ton it demands"
Read other AffidaVits
Upon the conclusion of Ruef's affi-
dayit, Dozier read affidavits made by
himself and Ach, in which it was set
forth that counsel for the defense were
receiving communications by telephone
and mail, threatening their lives II
they continued to defend Ruef; that
not only their own lives but those of
their wives and families were in dan
ger as a result of public feeling, large
" the result of Sattacks made upon
them by some of the newspapers be-
cause they were engaged in defending
Ruef: that at the overflow mass meet
s,,o 90 T1fphf fhara cries
of "GiVe us Calhoun! Give us Ruef!
Give us Ach!" and that as result
of such conditions it was impossible
for Ruef to be given fair and inn
partial trial in this city.
Affixed to each affidavit We're copies
of newspapers, giving accounts of the
shooting of Mr.. Heney and the sub
sequent suicide of Haas, mass meet
ings, interviews with prominent men
bearing upon the case as IN evidenc-
larry showing of the state of public
mind in this city.
Grants Continuance
At the request of Mr.. O'Gara Judge
Lawlor granted a continuance until
10 o'clock tomorrow morning to give
the prosecution time to make coun-
ter showing.
Court adjourned at 1853. The court
room was Immediately cleared.
The only incident during the morn
ing was the election from the court
room of a man whose name was given
by Capt. Gleason as j. d. Cook, law
clerk connected with a firm of at
torneys said to be associated with the
defense. Cook succeeded in getting
into the court room. but was afterward
regarded with some suspicion, and
upon being asked to come out into
the corridor was ordered out. He pro-
tested strongly to what he declared
10 be the uhwarranted action of the
police.

NEGRO ISSUES CHALLENGE
Colored Heavyweight, Accompanied b, Manager, Seeks Champion
 in London.

London, April 27.-Jack Johnson, the colored heavyweight pugilist, ac- companied by his manager Fitzpat- rick, arrived here from New York this evening They Immediately visited the National Sporting club and the Sporting newspapers and Issued a challenge to Tommy Burns, the heavy weight champion, to fight anywhere for any purse acceptable to Burns. Johnson went further than this, and offers to bet Burns $2,500 that he will stop him in twenty rounds. In addi- ton, he will concede to Burns two thirds of any purse that is put up for the contest.
 These terms cannot be published In England, as the law of the country prohibits anything but boxing con tests limited to twenty rounds. Burns has been holding out in the negotia- tions for the Johnson contest for q sum, lose or draw. larger than any syndicate has yet appeared willing to offer. Johnson appears anxious to meet Burns, but there has been so much cross firing that 1t seems doubt full if the two men will come togeth- CT in England. There is possibility however, that club that has just been organized in Paris may raise sufficient money to induce Burns to go into the ring with the colored heavyweight
 Burns also visited the National Sporting club this evening, but did not meet Johnson. Burns forestalled the latter by depositing s5,000 with sporting newspaper for a meeting with the negro,
 Burns insists that he must have S30,0 1000 as his share of the purse, but Johnson can arrange the side bet to suit himself In the opinion of Burns, as expressed tonight, fight between him and Johnson Is now bound to oc- cur, but wether in England or in America depends on the purse.
