GOVERNOR NORRIS
 TALKS IRRIGATION ]. Montana's s Executive Speaks at
 Chicago Meeting WEST IS READY TO ACT East Is RebulSed for It's Attitude on Conservation and the Governor Says West Can Take Care
 of Itself
WEST IS READY TO ACT

Chicago, November Ex-Governor Edwin L. Norris of Montana delivered the principal address at the opening O. the United States land and irrigation congress tonight He rebuked the cas- for it's attitude regarding conservation and declared that the west was compe- tent to carry out all necessary meas ures and stood ready to do so. Governor Norris said:
 Tt seems eminently fitting that Q land and irrigation congress, organ, ized for the purpose of exhibiting pro- ducts of the soil, s>.ould be held in Chi cago. This is the gateway between the populous centers of the east wherein there is an overcrowded pop ulation striving for mere existence and the great undeveloped west, where there are prosperous homes for mil lions of people.
 Several western governors jour- neyed to St. Paul in September last to take part in the deliberations of the national conservation congress, oi which they were members. It was found on arrival there that delegates attending from the west, where almost all the unappropriated natural re- sources are to be found, were expect ed to sit at the foot of eastern con- servation sages and hear theories on conservation expounded. Men from the mountains grow restless from inaction and the western governors returned home. Notwithstanding their departure it was announced In the newspapers that the pugnacious governor of Kan sas would remain on hand to see that the western governors did not start something.'
 "The western governors did not with draw from the conference but will be on hand at the next meeting.
 Let it here be said that the west ern men will not sit supinely by while this important problem is undergoing solution. We cannot admit that those Eho have proved themselves to be Incapable of running their own affairs are more competent than we are to formulate plans for the admission of resources that of right belong to us.
 Let there be no misunderstanding concerning our position on the conser- vation and will approve of any plan calculated to accomplish that end. We now believe that the states can best conserve resources under the sa fe- guards heretofore recurred to. If our proposed way is not the best way then we will enthusiastically favor a bet ter way"

A JURY IS SWORN IN

Newark, N J., November 2s.-"1f find any city or state official guilty of negli- gence on the inspection of this building, said County Commissioner Mott today, as he stood by the ruins of the factory in which 24 girls lost their lives by fire last Saturday, '.there will be the bittest sort of prosecution.
 T do not mean to imply" he contin- ued, that I have before me any evi- dence of criminal negligence, but l do mean that .he investigation shall be in earnest. My view is that it ought to take the form of some sort of public hearing and I think the coroner's jury will be the most effective instrument.'
 Accordingly, a coroner's jury was sworn. the first of it's kind that has sat here In 20 years.
 County physicians ordinarily perform such tasks. There will also be separate inquiries by the grand jury, the state labor department and the city building department.
 The destroyed building was the prop erty of Miss Barbara Glass, who has is sued a statement, declaring that the structure was adequately equipped with fire escapes
 Funerals of many of the victims were held today. Many of the girls and wom- en killed were supporting their fam- iliesfin whole or part and there is much actual want. relief fund started yes- terday has now reached s2o0o.

 Beck's Statement
 James H. Beck, general counsel of the American Sugar Refining company made this statement with reference to the governments suit against the com pany: "The company's reply to the va rious charges will be seen when it's for nal answer is filed in court. For the present it is sufficient to remind the pub- lie and the companys stockholders that the supreme court has already declined in similar proceeding by the govern ment to hold that this company was an alleged monopoly under the Sherman law and the court has deprecated the 'chal- lenging of the justice of their well con- sidered and solemn judgments. The company has no monopoly in the sugar industry, 1t produces no raw sugar and does not and cannot control the price of the raw material; it has no agree ments, direct or implied, with other sugar and Is subject to daily com petition of the keenest character; it has, including it's beet sugar interests, about 51 per cent of the country's sugar trade, and it requires a liberal stretch of imagination to call this monopoly.
 'It does not seek to stife competition or oppress the consumer by advancing the cost of necessity of life.
 Its refinery profit last year averaged less than one-sixth of a cent per pound. During the last decade, when the prices of nearly every necessity of life has materially advanced and when the cost of this company's labor and supplies have very largely increased, it has continued to sell sugar at a lower margin of profit than formerly. In 1870 the price of gran ulated sugar in New York was 1312c a pound. in 1880. 9.sc; in 1890, o.32c; in 1908 f. 76c"
