EACH CLAIMS HE is THE
LAWFUL JAIL PHYSICIAN.
Sheriff Appointed DR.. Roth
FreehOlders DR.. Sutphen.

A peculiar mix-up in the position of
physician at the county Jail has de-
veloped by the claim of DR.. ]. 8. SUIT
phen, of 2OS Orange street, that he is
entitled to the salary for the position,
which pays $500 a year.
DR.. Oswald H. Roth, who since 1906
has been the Jail physician, has not
beer paid for his work since January.
1910, lespite the fact that he has on
t~inuously performed the duties of the
office.
The mix-up comes in this way. In
1900 the Legislature gave the Board of
Freeholders the right to appoint the
Jail physicians. Sheriff George Virtue.
during his term, appointed his own jail
physician, and on the case being car
ried to the courts, Virtue won out, it
being held that the Legislature had no
right to curtail the power of the sheriff.
A recent decision in Hudson county mas
upset the Virtue decision, and as a re-
suit the Board of Freeholders claims
that Sutphen, who was appointed in
December, 1909. is the rightfully APP
pointed physician at the jail, and that

due to the failure of the European
sugar beet crop.
Everybody was looking for an extra
large crop of sugar beet in Germany

day, "but the severe drought there re-
suited in a very poor crop. During
September and October | think there
is more sugar used than In any other
two months during the year. All tho
refners know this and are confident
the present high price of sugar in the
European market will not drop. The
market in New York at present Is %
points lower than abroad n unless
they are able to stave off the increase
on the other side of the ocean we are
bound TO feel it here and the price o.
sugar will go even higher
