TARIFF ON SUGAR.
Free Trade Advocated by Independent
Refiners.

Washington, November 17.-Claus
A. Spreckels, president of the Federal
Sugar Refining Company, an 'inde-
pendent" concern, advocated the free
entry of sugar at today's hearing be-
fore the House Ways and Means Com
mittee.
81 would be perfectly satisfied if
you should finally decide to agree up
on free trade said Mr.. Spreckels,
who was formerly connected with the
American Sugar Refining Company,
known as the Sugar Trust" in both
raw and refined sugars.
II think we are entitled to mod
crate protection on refined sugars,
but would prefer absolute free trade
to the present schedule under which
the Sugar Trust is the principal bene-
ficiary and enabled to enact special
privileges and conditions on sugars
produced in Louisiana and the Ha-
waiian Islands"
vi
is compelled to buy its sugar in Java,
Porto Rico, and Cuba, as the Sugar
Trust has the output of Louisiana
and the Hawaiian Islands contracted
for. He said the consumers would
get the benefit of the reduction in the
tariff.
Mr.. Spreckles claimed that those
sugar manufacturers who are making
sugar at two and one-half cents per
pound were not appearing before the
committee to give information about
the cheapness of manufacturing beet
sugar He said that 25 per cent. of
the sugar beet produced in this coun-
try is raised by Asiatic labor. That
the American Sugar Refining Com
pany or his own company needs no
tariff protection was asserted by Mr.
Spreckels.
A. F. Stillman, representing Ar
buckle Brothers, of New York, one of
the largest Independent sugar refin-
ing companies in the country, while
admitting that the beet sugar indus
try probably could not survive on free
sugar, requested lower duties as much
better for the sugar business.
considering the benefits to the
whole country. I would favor free
sugar." he said. THE restrictions of
the sugar trade with Cuba would
create a strain that would be detri-
mental to this country"
F. w. Swink, beet sugar grower
of Rocky Ford, Col, said that Japa-
nese, Mexicans and Indians were
largely employed in the farming of
sugar beets. Representative Champ
Clark drew from the witness the fact
that sugar beets brought $40 an acre,
while hay, wheat and corn, three of
the principal crops of the Middle
Western States, bring but SIS per acre.

Extended EIectrificatiOn.

1t is now planned to operate the new
transcontinental line of the Chicago,
Milwaukee and St. Paul Railroad by
electricity for full thousand miles
from the Pacific coast Water-power
is so abundant in the country through
which the new railroad runs that it
will be unnecessary to use engines
burning coal or Oil. This is an indi-
cation of the coming electrical age in
the United States. Untold power is
going to waste in the rushing of the
streams, and as coal becomes scarcer
no doubt electricity will take its place.

Columbus, Ind, April 29.-COndemn-

trial of Mrs Frances Cooper, charged
with drowning her baby in Lick
Creek last December. That a deter

Cooper from a penalty was shown
when William H. Everroad, the attor-

was defective in that the third count
charged the woman with killing her

being unknown to the grand jury. The
dispute ended by the judge ordering
the defendant being brought into
