SENATOR SCORES
MORMON LEADER
SUGAR TRUST AND JOSEPH
SMITH ARRAIGNED
Declares SoIon from Utah Is President
of State Factories Association.
Urges Reduction in
Tariff

WASHINGTON, May 19.-Declaring
that Joseph F. Smith, the head of the
Mormon church, every year fixes the
price of beets in the interest of the
beet sugar factories of Utah rather
than in favor of the producers of beets.
Senator Clay in the senate today called
forth a characterization of his state
ment as absolute untrue" by Senator
Smoot, formerly an official of the
Mormon church.
Mr.. Clay declared that Mr.. Smith
as president of the beet sugar fac
tories of Utah received $4,000 annual
salary.
"He is always in favor of the fac
tories and against the growers" said
Mr. Clay.
Upon Mr. Smoot denying this state
ment Mr.. Clay declined to be interrupt
ed further.
Mr.. Clay favored an early vote on
the tariff bill.
Severely arraigning the so-called
sugar trust and urging a material re-
duction in the duty on refined sugar,
Mr.. Clay discussed at great length the
various phases of the beet and cane
sugar industries. He argued that the
consumer is disseminated against in
favor of the American Sugar Refining
gets no benefit of the differential be-
tween the. duties on raw and refined
sugar Mr.. Clay declared that the
manner in which the sugar schedule
of the Payne bill was framed.
Trust Controls Trade
Contending that the American Sugar
Refining company owns the principal
refineries in the United States and is
almost without competition in refining
sugar, Mr. Clay declared that the
duty on refined sugar almost prohibits
the importation of foreign sugar into
this country. He said that the beet
grower and the cane grower of sugar
both are compelled to sell to the sugar
trust at the price which it fixes.
Comparing the wholesale price of
granulated sugar in Hamburg and in
New York which he said was 2.31 cents
per pound cheaper in Hamburg. Mr..
Clay figured that the American con-
sumer pays a difference of $136, ,000 900
for its refined sugar. OF this, he said,
the government gets $5S,000,00O in GUS
toms duties, while he said the sugar
trust gets the other $4,000, 900.
1.-THE American consumers of sugar
have paid to the American Sugar Re-
fining company, commonly called the
sugar trust at least f1fty-five millions
a year IN pfOnt, SAID Mr, clay,
amounting in twelve years to $780,,
100000.
1.-THE American people are not aware
of the fact that if the sugar we import
came into this country free of any
duty, both raw and refined, the cost of
sugar to the American consumer would
be reduced nearly one-half.
Should Be Reduction

and raw, or either, should come to this

SAN FRANCISCO, May 19.-The

Angeles to Oakland through its pur-
chase from Dick Ferris by Capt. Park
A. Van Tassell. 1t is now being. over
hauled by its new owner in Oakland
and he will make an ascension TO sig
nalize its new ownership from the Aero
mark in Oakland some time next week.
Although the United States has seen
considerable hard ballooning 1t is IN
shape for numerous additional ascen-
sions over the bay counties. 1t added
to it's records this month by pelhg the
first balloon to sail over the recon
structed San Francisco, when Roy
Knabenshue, accompanied by A. Z.
Pillsbury of San Francisco and Los
Angeles man, ascended from Market
and Larkin streets, near the ruins OF
the old city hall, and sailed over
large part of the burned district, AFTER
ward crossing the bay and past Ala
media and Oakland with a landing in
Redwood canyon. near Joaquin Miller S
pIace. A portion of the trip was made
above the fog at an altitude OF two
miles.
This ascension attracted the attention
of Capt. Van Tassell to the Ferris bal
looms. and he made a trip to Los An
geles for the purpose of purchasing
either the United States or the Amerl-
can. The former suited him better, ana
he made arrangements with Mr. Ferris
for securing it just before Ferris LETT

ascensions next fall, but most or IT'S

The United States was built in 1900
by Mallett the famous French balloon
maker. 1t is regarded as one OF the
most symmetrically constructed spherl-
cal balloons ever seen in this country.
1t was piloted by Lieut.. Lain and Maj.
Hersey of the United states army IN
the first international balloon race,
starting from Paris in 1906. The race
was won by the United States, which
crossed the English channel and landed
in the north of England, bringing the
Gordon Bennett trophy to the United
States for the first and only time so 1ar.
Since then it has been in numerous
races, including the international at st.
I. I.ouis and the Chicago race into
Canada last Fourth of July, and has
been used for numerous ascensions.
