petition. 1t was simply Il question of
getting the land.
He declared that, with the present
tariff assured for twenty-five years,
California alone could be made to pro-
duce all the sugar consumed In the
United States.
| In answer to question by Con-
gresham Raker, Spreckels said Japa-
nese and other foreign labor was en-
ployed on the company's sugar-beet
lands at Salinas because white men
could not be procured for the work.
The American" said Spreckels
does not want to get down on his
marrow-bones and work in the beet
fields We find plenty Of white men
to handle steam plows and drive
teams and work inside the refineries
but we have to employ foreign labor
in the beet fields, or not get the work
done"
College Men Conquered Soil.
Spreckels told of three years un-
| satisfactory attempts to raise a good
| crop of bects ON l0,0O0-acre tract
in the Salinas Valley and the finaI
establishment of an experimental sta
| ton with four graduates of the agri.
cultural department of the Univer'
sity Of California in charge.
After a series of experiments and
analysis of the soil, good crops were
produced and beets made to grow or
additional soil that was thought to bC
untitled for their cultivation.
| The witness contended that the TAX
ing off of the sugar tariff would ruin
the beet sugar industry and not bene'
fiji the consumer, because the short
age of sugar caused by the CLOSING
down of the beet-sugar factories
would keep the price up.
| Spreckels stuck to his contention
even when 1t was pointed out tina
the United States produces com
| paratively small percentage of tn
worlds sugar supply and that plenty
of sugar would come here If the tariff
were removed.
Not Coed for Jellies.
In answer to questioning, Spreckel
said that while there was a difference
Of about 90 cents per 100 pounds be
tween the wholesale price Of cane an,
beet sugar In favor Of the cane sugar
retailers often sold both at the sam,
price.
| II was impossible, he said, for tn
buyer to distinguish between the ap
pearance of the two kinds and tn
only way housekeeper could tell sh'
had beet sugar was when her jellie
would not jell.

Cuba's Crop Prospect.

Willett Il Gray's Sugar circular
bearing the date of June 22nd, says;
Raws.-The week under review has
given evidence of underlying strength,
together with u steady, continuous
tone of improving tendency.
Cuban sellers have reached a point
where they can show rather more in
dependence in handling their balances
of crops, and as the parity is still
2sc per 100 lbs. below the parity Of
beets, they are working to close up
this difference on every sale they
now make.
This grows easier every week, as
reiiners are working more on the
hand-to-mouth basis for their sup
plies than in former years.
The weekly Cuba crop figures, CIV
en- elsewhere, do not furnish a basis
for any change in our final crop esti-
mates.
The feature of the week is our do
nestle beet crop estimate. given
herewith, showing over 100000 acres
increased sowings and giving prob
able increase in crop of $4,000 tons
sugar.
This industry Is prOgressing-six
new factories are building for oper-
alton this season, under protection OF
present tariff. Every new factory and
every increase of crop increases the
competition between the cane and
beet refined and tends to decrease the
cost of sugar to the consumer.
Any important decrease in tariff
will reverse this process.
Next crop prospects in Cuba and
Europe are favorably reported.
Sales given elsewhere show the i'm
provement in prices to be 09c per ID.

week for some time. Centrifugals on
96 deg, test, European markets
fluctuated from los. SID to los. 71st
to los. 3D. at the close, August being
at los. Sd. also, the same as last week
We see no particular Indications Of
Improvement In European prices, sc
that whatever advance comes here
will be from the closing up of the
parity difference between the two
countries. New crop beet for DC
tober-December delivery is quoted
at IS IND. the parity of Aloe fol

WASHINGTON, June 2G.-With the
completion Of the testimony of Presi-
dent John ID. Spreckels of the West
ern Sugar Refining Company today
the House sugar trust investigating
committee practically demonstrated
that since the short. drawn battle be-
tween Claus Spreckels and Henry o.
Havemeyer In the early nineties,
there has been no competition In the
sugar business In the United States.
Spreckels told the committee how
Havemeyer invaded the territory Of
his father on the Pacific Coast. and
how the older Spreckels retaliated by
building in Philadelphia one of the
finest sugar refneries In the world.
This flank attack on Havemeyer lei
Dan armistice. which ended In peace
when the American Sugar Refinery,
dominated by Havemeyer, took over
the Spreckels Philadelphia refinery,
and In return Spreckels accepted the

Gallo POST OFFICE
SAFE ROBBED
Safe Blowers Visited Gallo Friday
Morning They Got Only 500
For Their Pains

leggmen gaining entrance through
broken window dynamited the safe in
the post office at Gallo, small town on
the 500 road in southwestern Cavalier
county, early Friday morning and Sc
cured only about $50 for their trouble.
The charge of nitro glycerine used by
the safe blowers was entirely effective.
They drill d hole near the safe door
knob and into this the soup was poured
When the explosion came the force of it
was so heavy that a part of the strong
box was blown tn ough the floor, but
otherwise the interior of the building
was not damaged. The Gallo postoffice
is located in the:store of Farmers Mer-
camille company and the citizens did not
hear the report, or at least none were
aroused sufficiently to gain any idea of
what was going on. About the time of
the safe blowing train was in the
town, with more or less switching be-
ing done, and that is probably re-
sponsible for the fact that no one was
aroused. Members of the train crew de-
clarei that the time they were in Gallo
that there was team of horses hitched
to wagon near the post office, and OF
this team no trace has been secured.

DAVIS TRIES
Unsuccessful Attempt Made Last
Thursday by Strychnine Route
in Morden Jail.

Fearing the justice that will be meted
out to him and the possible vengeance
of the neighbors of the young girl he
outraged, Edward Davis last Thursday
took large dose of strychnine So
large was the dose however, that it had
but little effect and a doctor called
administered stomach pump and saved
his life. The doctor said had Davis
taken one twentieth the quantity he
would have died. Since then his arms
have been manacled and wrists hand
cuffed, while a guard is stationed with
him in the cell at Morden, Man.
A dispatch from San Franciso says
Davis broke from the Jail at Folsom,
California, in 1901, where he served
eighteen months of thirty three year
sentence for highway robbery. Eleven
broke loose with Davis and they killed
two of the guard and carried four others
distant Of twenty miles. using them as
targets for the bullets of the posse which
pursued them but Davis was neve,
retaken.
