PRESIDENT TAFT SECURES AD'
MISSION OF 100000 TONS
PHILIPPINE PRODUCT.
WITHOUT PAYMENT OF DUTY
General Attorney for Beet Sugar Re

ls satisfactory to
Them.

Washington, Apr. 1O.-President
Taft has won signal victory for tine
Philippine Islands In the acceptance
by the senate committee on finance
late last night of the provision OF the
Payne bill for the free admission Of
100000 gross tons annually OF Philip
pino sugar. This decision was reach
ed after the subcommittee consider
ing the sugar schedule had taken to
the White house Charles B. Warren,
general counsel of the Michigan
Sugar company and had confirmed an
agreement between Mr.. Taft and MI,
Warren made in this city last fall
while the president-elect was guest
at the Boardman residence.
After the agreement between MT.
Taft and the beet sugar rassers had
been announced the right Of Mr. War
rem to speak for the beet sugar inter
ests was brought intc Suggestion. r -
An amendment to the Philippine
section prepared by Senators Lodge
and Smoot was adopted by the com
mittee on finance, however, which Is
designed to prevent the substitution
OF Java sugar or sugar from other is-
lands In the Far East and the i'm.
portation OF such products into the
United States free of duty. This has
been accomplished by requiring the
collection OF a duty equal to the
amount due on all sugar imported by
the Philippines except from the
United States. The Philippine GUS
toms service will be required to KEEP
strict account OF all expectations Of
sugar from the islands and It is believ
ed tnat tnis win aIforu atnR:7 'sas

II Is said that 1t will be some time

able the islands to take advantage o

After the conference at the Whit
house, Mr.. Warren stated that wheI
he came upon Mr.. Taft and made tn
agreement as to the 100000 tons 0
sugar to be imported from the PHILLIP
pines free, he spoke for the associs
ton Of beet sugar men. Despite tn
criticisms Of this agreement, Mr.. Wal
rem insists that he represents tn
views Of practically all Of the bee
sugar refineries and that the agre'
ment will prove satisfactory to thos
interests.

MERIDIAN PUBLIC
 SCHOOLS OPEN UP Attendance Shows Heavy In- crease Over Previous Years EXTENSION OF GAR SYSTEM People of Meridian Want Car Service to the southside But Rail-
 roads Have Not Agreed
 to Build viaduct.
EXTENSION OF GAR SYSTEM

Meridian, Miss. September 20.-(SpeciaI) The eight white public schools and the two negro schools of Meridian opened today for the term of 1909-1O with a larger first day attendance enrolled than ever before in the history of the system. No lessons were heard the day being de- voted to the assignment of pupils to their classes and the making of all necessary preparation for the beginning of studies in earnest tomorrow. The public schools of Meridian are the pride of all citizens and all are proud of the bright and promising future denoted by the splendid attendance on the opening of the session. During the holidays each of the school buildings has been overhauled. renovated and put in the most pleasing condition.
 A conference is being arranged be- tweet the mayor and members of the boards of councilmen and aldermen and the owners of the Meridian Light and Railway company for an early meeting to consider the proposition to extend the car system to the southside. This is one of the most populous parts of Meridian and is not now touched by street cars iAi' ie'Sl iS NuC eO oOuliSiuc OcluB OH In6 opposite side of the net work of railroad tracks, sdings, yards, etc., from Me ridian proper and the refusal of the varl- ous railroad companies to construct via duct. The question of the building of a viaduct or overhead bridge spanning the railroad yards has long been desired by the citizens of Southside, not alone be- cause it would insure the extension of the street railway to that part of the city, but that it would afford pedestrians a safe passage to and from the business district of the city Once or twice the board have adopted stringent orders to compel the railroad companies to join with the city in building the desired viaduct but the companies have succeed ed In worming out of the question and the people have been forced to jeopardize their lives by having to cross the tracks night and day with only the protection of f1agmen at the various crossings. It is expected that the question of a viaduct will be renewed at the conference to be held and that new methods may be in- troduced to force the railroad companies to erect at least one passageway over the tracks at the most central point. The people of the Southside will await the result of the conference with no little interest.
