SUGAR TRUST
MAKES REPLY
TO ACCUSERS

Ia. y T. sa
The phenomenal rise in sugar prices
during the past two months has re-
suited in widespread discussion all
over the United States, and in this
the American Sugar Refining Compa-
ny C'Sugar Trust'O has come in for
probably the greatest burden of
SLAMS" the public appearing gener-
ally to place the blame for the high
cost of this, one of the most common
necessaries of life, upon this organiza-
tion.
To try to stave off some of this
onus the company has resorted 20
the unusual method of buying adver-
tising space in many of the large main
land dailies to refute the charges that
the Trust is responsible for conli-

THE FACTS IN THE
SUGAR SITUATION
The American Sugar Refining Com
pany, which refines AZ per cent of
the sugar used in the United States,
realizes that the advance in the price
of sugar is of deep concern to every
consumer. Pursuant to the policy Of
its present management, as announced
in its annual report of January 70,
1910, it recognizes "the legitimate in
terest which the public has in a busi-
ness organization which deals in a
necessity of life" and desires to state

vance and its own policy in connec-
tion Herewith.
Worlds Raw Sugars Short.
The crop just harvested in Cuba
shows a shortage of about 100000 tons
from the previous crop, a direct loss
in our supplies, as these sugars come
to the United States almost exclu-
sively.
Long-continued heat and drought in
Europe, corresponding closely to the
untoward Summer weather conditions
in this country, have so seriously i'm
paired the growing beet sugar crops
of France, Germany and Austria that
estimates indicate a reduction of l.
100000 tons or moreover one-fifth--
in the supplies of Europe.
This threatened scarcity has caused
excessive speculation in Europe and
has advanced the sugar prices at Lon
don and Hamburg-the leading sugar
markets of the world-1% cents per
pound since June Is, while growers
of cane sugar, in the face of an an
xious demand and certain shortage
in the beet product, have similarly
advanced the price of their product
over cents per pound in the same
period.

pany does not own an acre of cane

VIM. 0. LIDGATE
DIES At CORNELL

A cable received here this morning
brings the sad announcement of the
death of William o. Lidgate, junior
in Cornell University, which occurred
last night after short illness from ap-
pendicitis. A cable received yesterday
by his aunt, Mrs. Frank Cooke,
brought the first news of his illness,
and the notice of death was thus in
measure not unexpected.
The deceased was the son of Mr..
and Mrs Anthony L. Lidgate of Paau-
lilo, Hawaii, who are at the present
time somewhere in the East. He was
a graduate of Oahu College, class of
1908, and during his preparatory days
here he was prominent in athletics
and recognized leader in the school.
He carried off the roll of honor in his
graduating year. He was 2l years Of
age at the time of his death.
In Cornell, where he has been since
his graduation from the local institu-
tion, he was a student in the agricul-
tural department, and he planned to
return here when his course was fin
ished to take up practical agricultural
work in the islands,
The news of the untimely death will
come as a distinct shock to a great
number of the young mans friends in
this city, as well as on Hawaii, where
he was well and fayorably known.
