BEET SUGAR men
PREPARE TO FIGHT
Will Oppose Free Sugar Plan
of Cane and Importing
Interests

Chicago. Nov. l7.--Beet sugar
manufacturers who have been meeting
in Chicago for the past few days clos
ed their session today after formulat-
ing plans to combat the propaganda
in the interest of free sugar" alleg-
refiners and the New York importing
interests.
The beet sugar men declare that
they produce annually 100000 tons OF
sugar and draw raw material from six
teen states. extending from Ohio to
California. and pay the American
farmer $3O.000.o00 annually therefor
They contend that by putting raw
sugar on the free list the domestic in.
competition thereby eliminated, and
that thereafter the importers and re.
f1ners would have complete mo.
nopoly.
After the meeting. the chairman. c.
Z. Hamlin Of Colorado. issued a state
ment, in which he 'characterized the
publicity attributed to the refiners az
a campaign OF Misrepresentation In
augurated for the purpose Of pre-.
judicing the minds Of the American
people"
1.-The animus of these attacks is ap.
parent" Mr.. .Hamlin says. Bee,
sugar is the only competitor the re.
finers have. as from it they can exact
no toll, and every pound Of beet sugar
produced in the United States which
means one less for them to refine
With this industry destroyed. their on
ly competition would be eliminated
and a few men in New York would fix
the price to be paid to the producers
of raw sugar on the one hand and that
to be charged the consumer Of refined
on the other.
1.-The production of beet sugar In
this country has increased from 49,.
246 tons in 1897 to 100000 this year
and our capacity for further expan-
sion will be understood when it Is
known that the department Of agri.
culture says that We have 247.000,O0(
acres Of land suitable for beet culture
If the industry is allowed to expand we
would within reasonable time be
producing our entire requirements.
THAT we are not producing more
beet sugar today is due entirely to the
tariff agitation of the last few years
and the construction Of many new fac.
tories is being held up because Of the
threat of tariff reduction.
Due to an increasing domestic pro.
duction, sugar, Of all the necessities OF
life decreased In price during the last
few years while the prices Of Other
commodities advanced so rapidly as tc
make the cost Of living a national is
been and are buying their sugar
cheaper than those Of any other ma.
ton. England alone excepted.
The production Of beet sugar in
our country has this year by reason OF
competition between beet sugar manu-.
facturers resulted in beet sugar sell.
ing four and one-half to five and one.

the group enough of their followers
to split the vote in the supposedly
non-partisan array.
Hills charges against kegley are
that the latter. as master Of the Wash

in 1910 referred to a state aid high
way as :'the road which Samuel Hill
promoted" that Kegley is not a resi-
dent Of Washington and that he Sc
cured his election as master by ques-
tionable methods.
The charges are referred to the
grievance committee. A COMMITTEES
meeting was set for I o'clock tonight
but on motion Of counsel for Master
Kegley. postponement was made until
tomorrow. In the meantime. insur-
gents are attempting to force the
Hampton issue.

that many new oranges had been or
ganized and that the membership ie
on the increase.

for the control and operation of the
Bolivian guano fields. The firm of AL
sop and company acquired his rights.
Later. Bolivia accepted the proposal OF
! the firm for the working and eXploita-
ton Of the mines in that republic.
When Chile and Bolivia entered into a
treaty of peace the territory cmbrac-
ing the concessions of Alsop and COM
pany was ceded to Chile. under the
agreement that she would assume all
obligations due that firm from Bolivia.
The concessions were then Cancelled
and Chile tried to evade any payment,
The firm appealed to Chile, but that
country remained obdurate to the APP
peals of the American fnanciers.
Secretary of State Knox was finally
appealed to. and he begun negotiations
which for months met with evasion.
Finally on November II, 1909, he sent
cablegram to Chile. giving that
country five days in which to agree to
some satisfactory settlement. with the
alternative Of the minister being given
his passports. Chile awoke.
The claim was then referred to King
George Of England as 'amiable COM
positeur." and with the aid of The
Hague court the sum of $966,00O was
agreed upon.

MAY CHANGE THE
JEWISH TREATY

ter CONSIDERATION From
Russian Government

Washington. Nov. 17.-With the
understanding that NJ. Bakhmatioff.
the newly appointed Russia ambassa-
dor expected I'm Washington next
weekk. comes with authority to open
negotiations for revision of the
treaty of commerce and navigation of
1882, the state department officials
have already given the subject atten-
ton with the purpose of framing con-
crete proposals to submit to the am
basasdor.
The nee, for the revision of this
convention has been brought home to
the president by the many demands
and appeals from Jewish organizations
throughout the country for a removal
of the alleged discrimination made by
Russia against -r'' g and naturalized
American Jews seeking TO enter Rus
sia. Although apparently the existing
treaty does not draw the line as be-
tween native and natural:zed citizens,
the Russian government has placed a
construction upon the article regard
ing entry and ri Of travel that op-
crates to exclude any Jews except COM
mercial travellers and those visiting
Russia temporarily in the pursuit Of
business. There is believed to he no
considerable objection on the part Of
the Russian government outside Of a
possible charge of discrimination
against other nations, to the extension
to American Jews the privilege Of en-
tering Russia. for the reason that most
OF these Jews are so we'll satisfied with
America that their only purpose in
going to Russia, aside from business
reasons. is to visit relatives or friends.
But there is said to be serious objec-
ton to opening THE country to the free
entry Of the great body Of Polish,
French and Oriental Jews. The diff
Guilty is to shape the new Russo-Amer-
ican treaty 30 as to admit the Ameri-
can Jews without leaving the way
open for European nations to base a
demand upon as.ssia T. similar treat.
