JOHN ARBUCKLE DECLARES
SUGAR TARIFF WICKED TAX

New York, Oct. 13-Just before sail
ing for Europe Thursday John Ar
buckle, the sugar refiner and coffee
manufacturer, issued statement
strongly attacking the tariff on raw
sugar declaring it to be a wicked tax
for the benefit of the beet sugar in
terests. In his statement Mr. Ar
buckle said:
81 have not been well and am going
abroad to rest and recuperate in pre-
paration for the fight to be made in
congress at its next session for free
sugar l propose to devote all my
time and ability to the abolition of all
import duties on raw sugar, most
wicked tax on food nearly everybody
uses.
"Just look at these figures showing
how the prices of refined sugar to the
consumer is made up.
price paid by New York refiners
for raw sugar is "a cents. Duty per
pound 1856 cents.
with raw sugar costing the refiner
$4,081a per hundred, price to grocers
for granulated sugar is about $490 per
hundred and the wholesale grocers'
net price to the retailers per hundred
is about $495 and the retail grocers'
price to consumers was between $5.15
and $5.25 per hundred. So that for
every hundred pounds of sugar going
into a household at $5,25 per hundred,
the government of the United States
has exacted $1,6815, or almost one
third of the total price. 1t means that
every household that now buys three
and a half pounds of sugar could for
the same money buy five and one-quar-
ter pounds if this tax were removed.
"If, as someone has said, sugar is
the comfort of old age and the delight
of youth, your Uncle Sam is engaged
in taking candy from children, the
spirit of meanness. The duty on raw
sugar is rs per cent of its value"

KANSAS COAL OUTPUT SMALL
Strike of 1910 Reduces Production BY
Two Million Tons.

The total coal production of Kansas
in 1910, as compiled by Edward w.
Parker. of the United States geologi-
cal survey, in cooperation with the
state geological survey, amounted to
1921 ,451 short tons. valued at 1914
700.
Kansas lost heavily in coal produc-
ton in 1910 by reason of the coal
strike. In 1909, when industrial peace
reigned throughout the coal-mining
states, Kansas produced 6,9S6,47S short
tons, and in the boom year 1907 the
output amounted to 1922, ,449 tons, the
maximum for the state. In 1910, when
80 per cent of the men were on strike
and the period of idleness exceeded
that of activity, the production de-
creased to 1921 ,451 short tons. Com
pared with 1909 this shows loss of
i2,065,027 short tons, or 1886 per cent,
The decrease in Arkansas amounted
, to 1913 per cent, in Oklahoma to 1917
per cent, and in Missouri to 20.6 per
cent. AS in the other states Kansas
iprices were naturally advanced by the
shortage in fuel and the decrease in
value was relatively less than the de
crease in quantity. The value of the
Kansas product decreased from $40,
0S3,3S4 in 1909 to $7914,709, in 1910
loss of $2,16S,765, or 215 per cent
The average price per ton advanced
from ST. "A to $1.61
The number of men employed in the
coal mines of Kansas in 1910 was
1880, of whom 10,346 were idle dur
ing the strike The average number
of days worked was 148 and the aver
age number of days idle was 153. The
total working time was 1,906,151 days
and the total idleness was 1,578,02i
days The average production pei
man was 3S2 tons annually and 2.5S
tons for each working day. In 1908
when 1876 men were employed fol
an average of 1S1 days in the produc
ton of 6,245, sos tons, the average out
put per man was 449 tons for thu
year and 2.4S tons for each workin!

DEPUTY ACCUSED
OF SEEKING BRIBE
State And Defendant File Counter
Charges of Attempting to Brbe
Jurors in Hyde Case.

Kansas City, Mo, Oct. 13.-"There's
a fellow on that jury that can be
bought Leave it to me and I'll fix
it,"
In the foregoing words, according
to an affidavit made by DR.. E. Clark
Hyde, Harry Hoffman, deputy county
marshal sought a bribe from the

first trial for the alleged murder of
Colonel Thomas Swope.
The affidavit was presented in the
criminal court here yesterday on the
hearing of application for attorneys
for Dr. Hyde to have the jury guarded.
Counter attempts of jury bribery by
the friends of DR.. Hyde were made in
afIidavits presented by the prosecu-
ton One affidavit alleges that Thomas
McAnnany had offered an attendant
at the hotel where the jury boarded
$4,000 for a chance to get to the jury
men. The second trial of Dr. Hyde
will begin October %.
DR.. Hyde in his petition said the at.
tempt to solicit bribe from him was
made while he was being taken from
the criminal court room to his cell in
the county Jail. Hoffman he said
broached the subject in this way:
Doctor, am very friendly with
you and sympathize with you in your
trouble and have your interest at
heart | have something to say to
you, but | am afraid to say it,
DR. Hyde in his affidavit said he
assured the deputy that he need not
be afraid to say anything to him and
Hoffman finally continued.
There is a fellow on that jury that
can be bought and if you will give
81 500 for him you will have a hung
Jury This fellow, however, says il
there is an acquittal, he must have
$4,000"
after he repeated that must keep
this to myself" said Dr. Hyde, land
not mention it to my attorneys or any
other persons" the deputy said:
IF you will leave this to me, III
handle the entire matter for you"
Later the state took it's turn al
charging alleged bribery Virgil Conk
Hin, county prosecutor offered affidavit
by Glare Wilson who at the time OF
Hyde's trial was at the house where
the jury was boarding. In his affidavit
he said that he had been approached
by Thomas McAnnany, who said:
"You are getting along in years ant
there is $4,000 here for somebody anC
you might as well get it as anyone
Ielse"
Mr.. Wilson said he refused to have
Ianything to do with such an attempt.

A Little Wcrk of His Own.

Several days ago N. M. Smith, JUS
tice of the peace, took it upon him
self to do a little work in the way of
enforcing the prohibitory law of the
state. He wrote to the attorney gen.
eral asking if man could have a gal
Ion of whiskey shipped to him every
day. or two or three gallons at a time.
The attorney general answered that if
man got more than one gallon a
week it showed that he was undoubt-
edly a bootlegger. and that the booze
SO shipped in should be broken. Mr.
Smith Immediately notified Deputy
Sheriff McSpadden to break all that
came in. except to allow man gal
lon a week. Since then Mr.. McSpad
den has spilled lot of the bug juice
much to the sorrow of some who have
been getting in several gallons a week

DAVIS CASE WILL
GO TO JURY soon
State Completed Case Thursday And
Defense Asked Judge to Instruct
For Acquittal.

Oklahoma City, Oct. 19-The fate
of Abner Davis, formerly president of
the might and Day bank of this city,
probably will be in the hands of a
district court jury by tonight, in the
case brought against him under an in
dictment by the recent Oklahoma coun-
ty grand jury, wherein he is charged
with the making or causing to be made
of a false entry on the books of the
bank. The state completed the pre-
sentation of its case in chief Thurs
day afternoon, and Attorneys E. G. Nc
Adams and T. G. Chambers, represent
,fng the defendant asked the court to
direct a verdict of mot guilty" as he
has done in prior case, but after con
siderable argument Judge George w.
Clark declined to do so and the de-
tense will introduce its evidence this
morning 1t is expected that Davis
himself will take the stand some time
during the day and explain the trans
action from his viewpoint.
Aside from F. H. Myers, who was
cashier of the Night and Day bank, at
the time the transaction took place,
E. M. Cockrell, who was state bank
commissioner at the time, was the mots
damaging witness for the state. Frank
Reeves, who was teller of the Night
and Day bank at the time in question;
M. R. Garnett, assistant state bank
examiner, who discovered the false en-
tries; A. L. McGarth, assistant cashier
of the Night and Day bank of ST. Louis,
Mo, were the witnesses used by the
prosecution.
\ Briefly stated the charge on which
Abner Davis is being trial is as fol-
laws: That on November 8, 1910, the
defendant made or caused to be made
on the books of the bank false entry
showing that the Night and Day bank
of Oklahoma City had a credit of $2O,-
900 with the Night and Day bank OF
st. Louis, Mo. 1t is claimed that there
never was any such real credit, but
that Davis directed Myers to give him
a bundle of notes, held at assets of the
bank, aggregating 100000, which were
placed in an envelope directed to the
1Bank of st. Louis, Mo-, which he was
to send to the st. Louis bank and that
Davis instructed Myers to credit the
local bank with that amount, which
was done.

FINAL COUNT SHOWS VICTORY
FOR WOMAN'S SUFFRAGE

San Francisco, Oct. 19.-Woman suf-
frage has triumphed in California.
Struggling returns late yesterday wip-
ed out the majority previously record
ed against the amendment and since
this turn the margin favor of the
amendment has increased steadily.
Totals struck off early last night
also showed the result: For the suf'
frage amendment, 119,086; against
117,40S; majority for the amendment
1873.
These figures represent the returns
from 2,717 precincts out of total OF
1921 in the state. AS cirtually all OF
the remaining precincts are in counties
which have given suffrage majorities
it is reasonable to suppose that they
will increase this margin.
So overwhelming was the vote il
favor of the other more important
amendments-the initiative and fefer
endum and the recall, including the
judiciary-that tabulation of the re
, turns was suspended with nearly g
third of the precincts remaining unre
ported.
The final count taken showed the fol
lowing results:

For the recall, 14S,572; against, 46,
