"If Mr.. Martindale was not mis-

Harry Nederlander, man about

persons, including quartet OF show
girls, were more or less seriously In
jured at $40 o'clock, Tuesday morn
ing, when the Nederlander auto
plunged into telegraph pole At JEFF

A mad joy-ride through the rain was
terminated In tragedy. Champagno

The entire party had been To

roadhouses had occupied the party'G
attention through the night.
Before break OF day. they were re-
turning. They stocked their machine
with much wine to cheer them on
the return trip, opened the machine
wide, and started for the city. They
tcama at such q breakneck pace that
Patrolman Frank Rounds heard then

At the new Belt Line, directly n
front of the Chalmers Motor Cos
plant, the big machine skidded. There

The car left the wet pavement,
leaped the curbing and plunged head
on into a telegraph pole. The body

AUSTRALIAN SUGAR growers
PAYING HIGH FOR White LABOR

Australia's efforts for white labor
are having serious effects on the sug-
ar industry there, according to re-
ports from the Antipodes. II Is now
suggested that the Increased cost of
production should be borne as a ma
tional burden, instead of falling on
a few,
A. w. PaIfrcyman, managing direc-
tor of the Australasian Jam and Pre-
serving Company, advocated the APP
pointment of n royal commission to
ipouirc into the whole question of
duty and the regulation of the in
dustry. He SAYS:
at il ouite evident that the sugar
industry of Australia is in an unsatis-
factory state. in its relation as a raw
material to other manufacturing bus
inesses. Il is calculated that up
wards of n. 900 tons annually are used
in the lam, confectionery, biscuit,
cakes. and brewing factories. The
lam factories alSne account for about
m 600 tons. All these industries are
supported by a tariff on the manufac-
tured lines of other countries, but
the burden of the Australian sugar
lduty Is nevertheless felt severely by
them all. and SO they openly declare
| that they do not want any duty on i'm
ported Jams. What they require Is
cheap sugar, which they regard as Il
lbip portion of their raw material, and
with the splendid fruits grown in this
country they say they can compete
against the world. This looks like Il
reasonable position. At the same time
they are not unmindful of the big

suV ptuSSVIN NVUNVutIVus
In review of the international
sugar situation issued by the Depart
mcnt of Agriculture II is stated:
Prior to September 1, 1903, when
tho Brussels convention went into eff
feet, prohibitory import duty, a high
excise, and governmental encourage
ment of expectation were general
throughout continental Europe. The
Brussels convention aimed merely to
equalizc the competition of sugar In
the international market by eliminate
ing all Legislative aid granted directly
or indirectly to exported sugar; It
made no attempt to modify the strict
| ly internal regulation of the sugar
trade. In many instances, however,
the ability to sell cheaply on the
worlds market was due Indirectly to
privileges granted in the case of do
nestle sales. The French regulations
had the general effect of an indirect
bounty on production which affected
even more conspicuously the export
than the domestic trade. The exporta-
ton of Russian sugar conferred spe-
cial privilege on the domestic market
which had n commercial value.
In order to eliminate all regulations
that might have the effect OF granting
governmental aid to exported sugar,
the Brussels convention consequently
prohibited all bountics on expectation,
direct or indirect bounties on produc-
ton, special exemptions from duty,
and excessive drawbacks, and also
limitcdthe excess of import duty over
the consumption tax to SO cents per
! 100 pounds in the case OF refined
sugar and As cents In the case of
raw. The convention thus abolished
all direct aid to the sugar industry
and even all determinations in the
domestic market against foreign
sugar beyond fixed limit. The lat
ter provision was not to be enforced
against the non-exporting countries
Sweden, Italy and Spain.
Spain did not ratify the convention
Denmark and Russia did not partici-
pate in the conference. The conven-
ton consequently included Germany
Austria, Hungary, France. Belgium
the Netherlands. Sweden, italy and
the United Kingdom.
! Price and Cost Of Production.
Another important detail of sugar
computation and forccasting is the
price of production In various coun'
tries. When sugar drops to the point
of resistance 1t is at the price of pro-
duction and cannot go much lower
unless conditions are exceptional.
Senate document No. IS has the
following, compiled from statistics as
scmbled by the Department of Com
mercc and Labor:
A comparison of the raw-sugal
prices quoted in the principal Eu'
ropean markets shows fairly close
correspondence OF quotations. The
same is true to large extent alst
of the prices OF refined sugar, II thu

19O6-19tO. The Government of Aus
tria-Iiungary, while abolishing the
bounties and reducing the surtax on
imported sugar. did not, however, re-
duce the internal revenue duties tex
ciscs) on consumption sugar. But
even these measures, resulting, as
they did, in the breakup of the sugar
cartel, were followed by a consider
able decrease in the domestic price of
sugar, though the general price move
ment for the years following 1903 Is
reflected much more in the upward
course of raw-sugar prices Uor OK
porD than In the downward course of
domestic prices of refined sugar.
In Russia.
Prices of sugar for domestic con-
sumption In Russian markets are reg
ulatcd most effectively by the Gov
eminent, which fixes the maximum
raw-sugar prices at the beginning of
each season. A comparison of these
official maxima and the actual prices
In the Kiev market for the last ten
years shows that, on the whole, the
latter did not exceed much the upper
most limits set by the Government ex-l
cept during the I909-i0 season, when
importations at reduced tariff rates
were authorized by the Government.
The situation In the world market
affects only the export prices OF Rus
sian sugar, which vary quite inde-
pendently of the movement of dOmes-
tic prices. These export prices are
invariably lower than the correspond
ing prices for local consumption by
more than the internal revenue duty
of 2.5 cents per pound
Italian and Spanish rcfipcrs, as
rule, are able to maintain prices
slightly below the import level; !. c.,

sugar market, plus the high import

tons are produced within the COM
monwealth, and another 10000 tons
are imported on all of which the i'm =.
port duty of $40 per ton operates just
as surely as II there were no sugar
produced within our own territory.
Only about SI,630,000 of this huge
sum reaches the public treasury. 80
that $5.5iO,000 Is the amount we are
paying annually to support the sugar
industry of this commonwealth. This
tax as It affects TIM fruitgrower is a
very serious matter, for 1t requires
one ton of sugar to convert one ton
of fruit into jam. and as a fair crop
of apricots, peaches, ounces, or plums
Is five tons to the acre, the tax on the
orchardist is no less than Gao per
acre, or just about the equivalent of
the gross proceeds of his produce
from that acre. 1t is further con-
, tended that there are about the same
number Of people.-3O,OO 0-employed
in the fruit-growing industries and
jam factories as there are in the
sugar fields and mills. In this con-
nection It is interesting to remember
that the consumption of sugar per
capita In the commonwealth is ll3
lbs. the United Kingdom coming next
with 102 lbs. per capita per annum.
Sugar was advanced in price this
morning c per ton. and the present
cost must be infinitely beyond that
which obtains in any other British
community.
"The sugar duty as 1t stands at pres
ent is iniuriously affecting other
equally important Industries, and the
whole question requires exhaustive
examination and inquiry In order to
place 1t on an equitable and sound
footing The bounty of G3 per ton
was in the first instance legislated for
for period that has already passed.
but its continuance IL in some quar-
ters now regarded as insufficient, and
a further increase of Ca per ton Is
being sought by deputation of grow
ers which is on its way to interview
the Minister in Melbourne, as well as
an increase in the present import
duty of GO per ton. On the other
hand, the fruitgrowers and manufac-
turcrs are asking for the sugar so
that their industries can proceed and
develop on natural lines, and without
help or hindrance, suggesting at the
same time that the production Of
sugar by white labor Is national
ideal, and that its cost should be
borne in national way. instead of
falling so heavily on, and injuriously
affecting, their own natural and
equally important industries"

Fruit Crop.
The different fruit canncrics have
had one of the busiest seasons in the
history of preserving in Hawaii. Some
OF them have finished the pack for the
season, while others are running day
and night shifts in I'M endcavor to
keep the sidetracks clear for the
trainloads of pines that come in every
day
About the end of this week will see
the finish of the heavy work ut the
Dole cannery, when It is expected that
the pack for the season will reach in
the neighborhood of 100000 cases.
That Is the sum averaged for the
pines that have been put up In cans.
The bottling of the famous juice will
go on for some time to come.
The Wilhclmina, sailing on Wcdncs-
