TO MAKE FIGHT
FOR FREE SUGAR
John Arbuckle Will go Before Con-
gress With Request.

Colorado Springs, Colo, Oct 16.
That the statement of John Ar
buckle of New York, refiner and cof-
fee magnate, that he will go before
congress next winter to fight for
free sugar, is the beginning of the
first genuine battle between the beet
sugar manufacturers and the cane
sugar refiners. is the declaration of
Clarence C. Hamlin, chairman of the
executive committee Of the United
States beet sugar industry, in a
statement made public here today.
Referring to Mr.. Arbuckle, Mr..
Spreckels and other sugar refining
magnates, Mr.. Hamlin says "the
fact. Of the matter is that beet sugar
is the only competitor which these
gentlemen have as from it they can
exact no tolF and every pound of
beet sugar produced means one
pound less for them to refine. Their
purpose in seeking its destruction is
therefore clear"
Mr.. Hamlin stated that while the
condition of the sugar market this
year has been bad from the consum-
'ers' point Of. view, it would have
been Infinitely worse but for the
100000 tons of beet sugar America
produces.
'.It is this great industry, the one
which Senator Bristow said was the
best justification for a protective
tariff, that the refiners are seeking
to Destroy" he said.

something concerning the blowing
up of the Times building in Los An

and deportation IL she refused such
statement as they desired"

JOHN R. WALSH
OUT OF PRISON
Paroled After Serving Twenty
Months of Sentence.

Kansas City, Mo-, Oct. 16.-John
R. Walsh, the former Chicago bank
er, returned to his home in Chicago
Saturday night. After spending one
year eight months and twenty-six
days in the federal prison at Leav-
enworth, Kan, for misapplying the
funds of the Chicago National bank,
he was paroled Saturday. Accom-
panied by his SOP, Richard, the for
mer capitalist came here and at
4:55 o'clock Saturday afternoon he
left over the Chicago, Milwaukee
and st. Paul railroad for home.
Owing to Richard Walsh failing
to understand when he started here
to meet his father that he had been
paroled, the former banker was
forced to leave the institution in
prison made garb. He wore gray
suit and gray overcoat made by the
prisoners, and soft black felt hat
of such inferior material that it was
split in several places before Walsh
reached here.
The parole came most unexpect-
eddy. For more than week Walsh
had waited anxiously for favorable
report on his case. Other prisoners
whose cases were considered by the
noro1a hoard rnCaivod nnfico of fh oir

Walsh's did not come. Thursday

hope, as did also his friends

MANY HOURS BEFORE THE.
rhirty-six stick.ef Explosive. With
Ten Foot Fuse Attached Found
When Officials Examine
the Bridge.

San Francisco, Cal, Oct. IA
report received here yesterday by
officials OF the Southern Pacific
Railway company from C. B. Brown,
section foreman for the road at
Naples, CAL. gave details of the dis
covery of thirty-six sticks " dypa-
mite under the Cairtan viaduct
twenty miles north of Santa Bar
bara, several hours before President
Taft's special train passed over the
bridge, en- route to Los Angeles,
yesterday morning. The dynamite
was found after the Waterman en-
gagged in revolver battle with two
men who escaped.
The dynamite was discovered at
o'clock yesterday morning.
The presidents train passed over
the bridge at 5:51 O'clock. The
night Waterman saw two men on !
the bridge shortly before O'Clock.
They were at the opposite end Of the
1,VUV IOoL span anu Edu Wucu VI
dered to halt. The Waterman hur-
-ried across the bridge, firing several
shots, which were returned. After
the pair had escaped in the darkness
the Waterman returned to the
bridge and began an Investigation.
Near the center Of the span, lodg-
ed on one OF the supports Of the via
duct, was found the thirty-six sticks
of dynamite with ten-foot fuse at
tached to one of the sticks. He left
the find untouched, going immcdi-
ately to Santa Barbara and notify
ing the officials.

LAFOLLETTE, LEADER.

The action of the progressive re-
publican conference in Chicago yes
terday in endorsing Senator La
Toilette for president puts the Wis
consin leader before the country as
the accredited candidate of the pro-
gressive forces. The meeting was
not largely attended, though thirty
states were represented and the
character and enthusiasm of the
men taking part in the deliberations
speak for the substantial standing
Of the conference.
Senator LaFollette is the logical
leader of the element in the repub-
1ican party that is opposed to the
denomination of Taft and the Free
man-Tribune believes he is the
choice of the republicans of Iowa
and that fact will be demonstrated
II we succeed in setting a presiden-
tial preference primary in this state.
That LaFollette is strong before
the people has been abundantly
demonstrated. He has carried Wis
consin repeatedly when other repub-
lican candidates failed, and only
last year, when republicans went
down in defeat a.! over the nation,
even Ohio, Taft's state, going dem
ocratic by 100000 majority, LaFol-
lette pulled out tremendous VIC
tory in Wisconsin, his majority
doubling. that accorded the republic
can candidate for governor. In
fact, NO man before the people in
the past ten years, save alone The
odore Roosevelt, has hadN such an
enthusiastic and multitudinous fol-
lowing as Robert NJ. LaFollette.
The Freeman-Tribune is in hearty
accord with the action of the pro-
gressive republicans at Chicago yes
terday and is ready to do what 1t
can do legitimately for the nomina-
ton of Robert NJ. LaFollette for
president by the republican nation
a. convention Of 1912.

PRESIDENT TAFT
LEAVES FRISCO
Expresses Good Wishes for Success
Of Exposition.

San Francisco, CAL, Oct. 16.-Af-
ter two days Of strenuous activity
President Taft left San Francisco
last night for Los Angeles with the
expressed conviction that San Fran
cisco and the state will make a sue
cess of the exposition Of 1915 that

the Panama canal. Mr.. Taft was
the guest yesterday Of the officials
of the exposition, He visited the

of the exposition, inspected several
regiments of infantry and compan-
les of coast artillery at the Presidio
and wound up the day with a call
upon Rear Admiral Thomas on the
cruiser California, flagship of the
Pacific feet, now assembled in San
Francisco bay.
There was no speech making yes
terday. The president was called.
upon only once to respond by talk.
and he then declined to enter into a
Sunday discussion. At the Cliff
house, President Moore of the ex-
position company presented him
with a miniature replica of the ex-
position, which he unfurled satur-
day at the ground breaking cere-
mony in the stadium. Mr.. Moore
said no speeches were expected, but
in exchange of the little flag, the
president said: II hope that your
exposition will be successful. hope
it will be the most successful expo
siion in the worlds history

landing of the italian expeditions
airy force in Tripoli was more event
full than at first known. Owing to
the difficulties caused by a rough
sea and shores, the Italian COM
manders found themselves confront
ed by serious problem. The great
fleet of coral boats from the islands
came to the rescue, however, and as
sisted in landing the troops. The
gravity of the situation is indicated
by the fact that the torpedo boat
Peccirari was wrecked on the rocks,
although the crew was saved. Chol-
era is reported likely to prove a
worse enemy than the Turks. Al
ready twenty or thirty cases have
occurred, with rs per cent NOR
tally. f
Another cause OF apprehension to
the government is the position OF
italian residents in Ottoman terri
tory. An exchange of communities
ton on this subject has taken place
between Rome and Berlin.
Germany is using her influence to
prevent excuses, and is endeavoring
to convince Turkey that reprisals
against Italians only would serve to
make her position still more diff
cult.
Reports from distant regions of
the Turkish empire are causing con-
siderable excitement here. These
reports describe the authorities as
abusing members Of the Italian col
onies.
The feeling between the Italian
members of the international peace
bureau at Deria and the representa-
tives of other countries Is becoming
so acute that the resignation of the
Italians is probable.
The latter not only refuse to dis
approve the action of their govern
ment in declaring war, but consider
it praiseworthy that Italy has taken
Tripoli from what they describe as
semibarbarous rule. They regret
that their government was obliged
to declare war just at a time when
it had invited the international
peace congress to meet in Rome, but
added it was not their fault if Italy
was compelled to follow on the Afri-
can coast the example of Great Brit
ain, Frace and Spain.
