the prediction of Edward f. Atkins,
the vice president, manager and di-
rector of the American Sugar lPfin-
ing company.
Mt. Atkins said: ''The domestic
beet sugar crop of the west Is just
coming in and in two weeks deliveries
will be made. This crop is estimated
at 100000 tons. The Louisiaba crop
is estimated at $4,000 tons uhd will
Com on the market by the first of
November. These two sources will
furnish supply sufficient to provide
for all requirements until the new
arrivals from Cuba on Jan. l."
Foodstuff prices which might have
been affected by the influx of Ca
madam products, had Borden not sent
Laurier down to defeat in the cleo
tions, leaped toward the top of the
quotation boards in the various sup
ply centers in the United States yes
terday and today. The advance in
flour raises the cost of early morn
ing meal, for toast, biscuits and wheat
cakes all will be affected. Smaller
glasses Of beer also may be put forth
when the malsters have studied the
situation more carefully.

history of Aberdeen and all the sur
rounding country. In honor of the
completion Of the new $780, 900 bridge

was held and Aberdeen was allied with
visitors from far and near. CONNER
cial delegations came by special trains

commerce and industry, for it marks
the Inauguration of railroad communi-
cation with the outer world. The
bridge will be used by both the Har-
riman and the st. Paul roads as n
part of the new lines just completed
to afford communication for Aber-
deem, the largest timber center in the

ARROGANT
Woman Mayor Of Hun

Aid Of Court

Western Press.
TOPEKA, Kas., Sept. 23.-Charg-
ing that Hunnewel councilmen re-
fused to confirm Mayor Ella Wilson's
appointees although she presented the
names of nearly every reputable citi-
zen of the town, including the "village
schoolmaster," a petition asking the
custer of the four councilmen was
filed in the Kansas supreme court to-
day by Attorney General Dawson. The
petition is directed against Lander,
Kier, Richardson and Ellis.
1t alleges that Mrs. Ella Wilson was
Elected mayor of Hunnewell at a
regular election last April, the voters
writing her name on the ballot, that
she did not seek the office but that
the voters elected her voluntarily"
The petition states that the council
desired to meet "In an upstairs bed
room in a hotel" that Mayor Wilson
objected to this and the councimen
consented to meet the mayor in Brock
mayor hall, but did not attend when
she went there. Then when the at
torney general notified them they
would have to meet they met but re-
fused absolutely to confirm any of her
appointments. By reason of these
failures two women friends of Mayor
Wilson, serving as city clerk and city
marshal, are made helpless.

Liberal Policy Has No
Part There---Vote as
They are Told

Western Press.
TORONTO, Ont, Sept 23.-Pre-
mier Wilfrid Laurier today said: "The
liberal party has received setback
but | can say to you that it is not
beaten. Those who have been loyal
are united now to keep up their cour-
age in face of defeat for there will
come again for the old party many
days of triumph and prosperity. In a
somber hour, such as this, there re-
mains with me great consolation and
source of comfort. 1t is the fidelity
of the province of QuebecAto our flag.
Thank God it was not the province of
Quebec that brought defeat"
R. l.. Borden, leader of the con-
servatives, issued this statement:
Canada has emphasized her adherence
to the policy and traditions of the
past fifty years. She has wisely de-
termined that for her there shall be
no parting of the ways but that she
will continue in the old path of Ca
nadianism, truly Canadian nationhood
and British connection. She has en-
phasized the strength of the ties that
bind her to the empire. The verdict
has been given in no spirit of un-
friendliness to the United States and
no such spirit exists, but Canada de-
sides and elects to be the mistress of
her destinies and to work out those
destinies as an autonomous nation
within the British empire"

A case, sadder, probably, than a
great many others, and which Illus
trates how some worthy families are
cast into misery by cruel fate, oc-
cured in New York the other day. A
wood carver, who had wife and eight
children, was laid off during the slack
simmer season and for three weeks
tried in vain to find work. His small
savings were soon used up and he
and his family were at the point of
starvation, when the factory where
he had been employed started work
again and he was asked to report for
work. There was great happiness in
that family the night before he went
back to work. He had scarcely been
at work half an hour, when his hand
was caught in the machinery and torn
to shreds. The injured man was first
taken to the hospital, where the hand
was amputated and then he was sent
home. The accident which disabled
the man shattered all hopes Of the
family, but his wife and his children
tried their best to cheer the head of
the family. Toward evening he went
out for walk, but weakened from
loss of blood and insufficient nourish-
ment, he collapsed on the street and
died before a physician could be call
ed.

SAN FRANCISCO'S
p LIVELY CAMPAIGN

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, Sept. 23.-
As bitter political campaign as was
seyer witnessed in any American mu-
nicipality was practically ended in
San Francisco today. On Tuesday a
primary election will be held for the
selection of candidates for mayor and
other city officers, including police
judges, district attorney, sheriff, cor
oner and supervisors.
Patrick NJ. Mccarthy, who was
elected mayor by the labor organiza-
tions two years ago and under whose
administration, according to the decla-
rations of his opponents, the city has
been disgraced in the eyes of all de-
cent citizens, is the big issue of the
campaign. Every form of graft is
charged against the administration
though the protection of vice is the
charge upon which the foes of the
Mccarthy regime place most empha-
sis.
Mayor Mccarthy is a candidate for
FeDOIllHdlloH anu mas Ine SOllO sup
port of the political machine which
he has built up since he came into
office. The denizens of the under
world, who are said to have increased
by hundreds as result of the wide
open policy of the past few months,
will, of course, do their utmost to aid
in McCarthy's reelection. 1t is not
believed, however, that he will poll
as large union labor vote as he got
at the last election.
The Republican and Democratic and
Good Government parties have united
on James Rolph jr. for mayor. Mr..
Rofph is a well known business man,
free from entangling alliances with
any political ring. In announcing his
platform, Mr.. Rolph said he would
make no hampering pledges, would
make no appointments for political
reasons and would recognize no fac
ton in the community. He expresses
himself in sympathy with the labor
organizations, so long as they are law
abiding, and declares that if elected
he will use the whole moral influence
of his office and his utmost personal
effort to show both employers and
employed that their interests and the
prosperity of the city depend on that
justice to one another which alone in
sures industrial peace.

COLORADO SPRINGS, Sept. 23.-
Arthur j. Burnham, who has been
held for investigation in connection
with the murder of his wife and two
children and Mr.. and Mrs. Henry F.
Wayne and their baby daughter, on
Sunday night, was released by Sheriff
Birdsall at 1915 O'Clock this morn
ing, there not being sufficient evil
dence to hold him longer. Detectives
will shadow Burnham for an indefi-
mite time.
''We killed 'em, we killed EN-" Two
girls are now being held at the po-
lice station in connection with the
murder of the Burnham and Wayne
families on Sunday night. They over
heard man make the above remark
on street near the scene Of the trag-
edy early Monday morning. He was
speaking to another man whom they
know by the name of Harry. The
firls are Helen Young and a girl
whose first name is May. Her last
name the police refuse to divulge.
May told Helen that Harry and an
other man did the killing. Neither of
the girls has reached her eighteenth
year. Helen Young is employed as a
domestic in a private residence on
Boulder street.
This new clue is only one of dozens
which are unlikely to bring the mys-
terry of the murder near solution.

more Jews in New York city than in
all the rest of the country taken to-
gether. The total number of Jews
in the United States is nearly 2,000,-
900. The overwhelming majority of
the Jews live in the large cities. The
larger part of these Jews have come
to America within the past twenty
five years, and the rate of increase
from this source is rapidly advancing.
The position of influence occupied by
many Of these Jews give them tre-
mendous power, far beyond what is
indicated by their numbers. They are
an important factor in the world Of
finance and control enormous wealth.
1t is stated that there are in New
York city alone about 5000 Jewish
lawyers and more than 1000 Jewish
physicians. In each Of the large uni
versities and colleges there are from
one to six professors who belong to
the Hebrew race. The theatrical en-
terprises are almost entirely in the

Jews in the theatrical profession is
steadily increasing, 1t is a fact thai
