TRUST DID NOT
CAUSE INCREASE
CHAIRMAN OF INVESTIGATING
COMMITTEE GIVES VIEWS ON
PRICES OF SUGAR.

Savannah, Ga, Sept. 13-Congress-
man Thomas w. Hardwick, of the
Tenth Georgia district, chairman Of
the congressional committee investi-
eating the so-called sugar trust, says
that he is convinced the increased
price of sugar is not the result of
manipulation on the part of the Amer
lean Sugar Refining company, but that
it is the direct result of lack of pro-
duction of raw sugars.
The fact that the Federal Sugar
Refining company, the greatest op-
ponent the alleged sugar trust has is
putting up the price of its product to
figure even greater than that of the
AmericamNSugar Refining company,
shows thatsthe increased cost is from
lack of production" said Mr. Hard
wick = a'1+3g
While my committee will investi-
gate the added cost of sugar when
we meet in October, l have no idea
that we will find it comes from the
efforts of the trust to make the people
pay more for sugar than it is worth.
That the price now depends upon the
real conditions of the source of sup
ply is shown by the fact that sugars
have advanced in price in Hamburg
and London, as well as in New York.
IF it is found that the reported
shortage in crop is exaggerated, the
price of sugars will go down, but if
it is found that they are not, sugar
will go up, and very much fear it is
going up. The Cuban crop is short
and so is the American beet sugar
crop. It is natural that there should
be an advance"

MAY
FIGURE In CASE
MYSTERIOUS MURDER CASE IN
NORTH CAROLINA HAS NEW
DEVELOPMENT.

Hendersonville, n. c., Sept. 13-
Upon the result of a thorough eXami-
nation to be made today of the body
of Miss Myrtle Hawkins is exhumed
as planned yesterday by the coroner,
depends, it is said, the liberty of a
physician of this city.
1t is believed the examination will
furnish evidence sufficient to warrant
an arrest, though just the nature of
the evidence Coroner Kirk expects to
develop is not known.
The first examination resulted in
the statement that chloroform caused
the death of the young woman whose
body was found floating in Lake Os-
ceola last Sunday.
The body of Miss Myrtle Hawkins
the 17-year-old girl, at late hour to-
day had not been eXhumed for further
examination into her mysterious
death. 1t was said today that a pri-
vate detective employed by the fam
lily to investigate the death of the
sirl, whose body was found floating
in Lake Osceolo last Sunday, had de-
clined later to work on the case.
1t is possible that one or perhaps
two men, now said to be, under sus-
picion, viii be arrested, and should
the authorities decide to make the ar
rests a second -mortem examina-
ton may not be held until the men
have their preliminary hearing.

MEXICAN LIBERALS ATTACK
UPON JUAREZ is A FAILURE
"Army Of Invasion" Disbands When
4Junta Gets No Arms.

Juarez, Mex, Sept. 15.-An attack
on Juarez by a band of 100 liberals,
warming of which threw this city into
great excitement last night, failed to
materialize through the inability of
the Liberal Junta in Ell Paso to sup
ply arms and ammunition. The band,
composed of about thirty Americans,
few Germans and Italians, and
hundred or more Mexicans, gathered
on the banks of the Rio Grande to re-
ceive the arms that had been prom
ised them.
They were met by a member Of the
iunta with three rifles and an old
pistol, with the information that this
was the best - junta could do" Dis
gusted, the army of invasion" dis
banded, and according to its leader,
an American, the threatened liberal
uprising, ended with last nights fias-
co.
Many residents of Juare, under the
impression that the city was to be at
tackled, crossed over to Ell Paso for
the night.
Troops were sent in pursuit OF the
liberals. but none could be found.

WAsHouTs AND WRECKS CAUSE
HEAVY DAMAGE TO THE
COMPANY.
Damage to Bridge Washed Away at
Seasons, Caused Big Loss, While
Wreck at Manchester Added An.
other Big Expense.

Recent Washouts on the Atlanta.
birmingham and Atlantic railroad and
a serious wreck at Manchester ha
caused loss to the road of $3.50, 900.
according to a statement made by
local official yesterday. These two
mishaps which name within two
weeks have caused the road to sus-
tain the greatest loss in that period
of time in its history.
The washout, it will be remembered.
occurred near Seasons during the re-
cent heavy rains, and a large bridge
was washed away This alone caused
heavy loss and for three or four
days the road was compelled to use
the Coast Line tracks from Waycross
to Brunswick, and again the line was
put to a heavy expense.
Right on top of this mishap came
the wreck at Manchester and again
the road sustained heavy loss Fig
ured up in every way, the two acct
dents entailed loss of $150,000 if not
more. This expense, coming at a
time when the road was fighting to get
out Of the hands of the receivers will
likely prove big backset, but, in any
event, it is the opinion of those in
position to know, that it will be only
short time before the road will be
able to pay off its Indebtedness and
discharge the receivers. The busi-
ness of the line is steadily growing
and the receipts for the present year
will exceed those of any other year
by large sum.

ANOTHER DEFECT IN LAW.
Local Hunters Puzzled over Provis
ion of New Game Law.

Under a strict Interpretation Of
Georgia's new game laws, it will be
unlawful to shoot marsh hens at any
time Of year, and, while it is believed
that this was not intended by the leg
islature, still local hunters are puz-
zled as to whether or not to go after
these birds in the event there is a
spring tide, which is the only time
they can be shot.
The new game law enumerates
many birds which can be shot fro
December l to March l, and also
gives a list that can be shot at any
time, such as English sparrOws
crows, ETC., but no mention whatever
is made of marsh hens. The law
says, though, that no birds not named
cannot be shot at all This was in
tended, of course, to protect the
mocking birds, red birds, etc, but un-
Intentionally. no doubt, the marsh her
was included.
No bird is as well protected as the
marsh hen. 1t is only once or twice
a year that these birds can be shot
and it is safe to say that if it is g
violation to shoot them that there will
be large number of offenders ir
this city on the first spring tide.

ON NEWCASTLE TO MONK AND
n ON GLOUCESTER TO THE
n PosToFFIcE.
Meeting Called for Yesterday Was
Postponed as Light and Water Com
pans Was Not in Position to Make
Definite Proposition.

r The meeting of the Retail Mer-
chants and Business Mems associa-
tion, which was to have been held
yesterday afternoon for the purpose
of taking up the question of white
way for this city, was postponed ow-
ing to the fact that the Mutual Light
ana Water company was not in posi-
tion TO make the association any def
mite proposition as to the cost of
lights, etc.
When this matter was taken up and
it was decided to hold a meeting of
the association to consider it, the
light and water company was request
ed to be in readiness to submit a
proposition at the meeting. The COM
pany at once took up the matter and
has been in correspondence with the
company which manufactures the
lights and posts, but nothing definite
has been received from these manu-
facturers, and consequently the COM
pany could not make the association
a proposition 1t is expected that
something definite will be received in
a few days, and the organization viii
then hold a special meeting to take
up the subject.
Plan is Outlined.
As previously stated in these col
umns, a large majority of the mer-
chants are in favor of the white way
and there is but little doubt that the
association viii decide to put it in at
once. The plans now ON foot pro-
vide for the way on Newcastle street
from G to Monk and if possible on
down to Mansfield and also from
Newcastle to Reynolds or Union on
Gloucester. This would give the city
in all from five to seven blocks Of
the white way and would illuminate
the principal business portion Of the
city.
AS stated, however, nothing definite
will be known until the light and
water company is in position to sub
nit a proposition to the merchants OF
the city, but the general opinion is
that the white way will be installed
within the next month or two.
