IT'S original form the bill applied only
10 Milwaukee, but the social demo-
crats succeeded in having it amend
gu SO that 1t also applied to cities
OF the second and third classes. This
amendment resulted in the ultimate
defeat of the bill.
Assemblymen Stern and Vint fur
nlshed the fireworks in the debate.
Mr. Stern said that the social demo-
Gratis opposed the bill not on prin-
clple but because they believed that
IL meant a political disadvantage to
tnelr party. Mr.. Vint replied that
II the social democratic party stands
for anything it is principle
He said that his party suggested
that a referendum be attached to
the bill to give the people an oppor-
tun1ty to say whether or not thew
wanted nonpartisan elections. He de-
clared that the bill was unamerican.

HAVEMEYERG GENIUS
Of SUGAR TRUST
Acting President Tells of Form
ing of Combine.
HOUSE INQUIRY is WIDENED
Edwin F. Atkins Says Huge Corpora
ton Was Organized to Reduce
Cost of roduction-Admits
Competition Was Crushed.

Washington.-That the late H 0.
Havemeyer, president of the American
Sugar Refining company, exercised
control over the company while own
ing only 1000 shares of stock, valued
at 100000 out of total of $4,000, 900,
was the statement made before the
house Investigating committee by E.
e. Atkins, vice-president and acting
head Of the corporation
Coupled with this statement was the
ruling Of the committee that facts re-
garding which former officers Of the
company, including Charles r. Heike,
are under Indictment are essential to
the present inquiry. Therefore Mr..
Atkins was required to answer ques-
attempt to acquire the Pennsylvania
Sugar Refining company at PhiladeE
phia.
Mr.. Atkins said that the operations
of the American company were closely
guarded until two years ago when
the New England stockholders COM
bined and obtained control. 1t was
then that the small size of Mr.. Have
meyers holdings was discovered and
proved great surprise according to
Mr. Atkins
Mr. Atkins said the purpose of the
formation of the American Sugar Re-
fining company in 1887 was to put on
their feet number of sugar refineries
that had been operating at a loss. The
cost of production of refined sugar had
been so great, said Mr.. Atkins, that
it was believed a union of refineries
would result in greatly reducing this
expense.
Did you expect through this means
to avoid some of the competition? ?"
asked Chairman Hardwick.
We'll, 1 suppose it had some effect
of that kind"
Counsel James M. Beck, for the
company, Intellectually appealed to
the committee not to go into the Penn
sylvania deal, on the ground that for
mer officers Of the company are await
ing trial in November on a charge of
conspiracy to acquire the Pennsyl-
vania property and that their interests
would be prejudiced if the committee
prejudiced the case.
Get Little information.
Mr.. Atkins testified he had no direct
knowledge regarding the Pennsylvania
transaction, which he said, was nego-
tiated under the presidency of Henry
o. Havemeyer. He said he protested
years ago to Mr. Havemeyer against
the policy of the company acquiring
beet sugar plants. The company Of
ficials point out that the company has
undergone thorough change of man
agement and of policy since the Have
meyer regime.
Mr.. Atkins testified that the Ameri-
can Beet Sugar company's stock is
scattered all over the globe, with 49,,
359 stockholders in November, 1910.
The average individual holding of
stock was said to be less than so
shares and more than $500 share
holders own ten shares or under.

FEATHERS IN GREAT DEMAND
While Present Styles for Millinery
Are In Favor.

A government ostrich doctor Ia in
South Africa His duty is to study
the diseases peculiar to such birds.
There is also an ostrich breeding as
ISOLATION where are recorded pedi-
grees of the finer birds. Some of the
farmers have so improved their stock
that their ostrich chicks bring from
$500 to $1,000 each, and many of the
most noted cock birds are priced at
$1,000.
Port Elizabeth, in South Africa, is
the chief ostrich feather port in the
world. In that neighborhood there
are nearly half million birds now in
captivity. The feathers from these
birds sell at from $40 to $3.50 a pound
and the industry of this one port alone
amounts to some S15,O00,000 a year.
Some Districts produce better feath-
ers than others. The Outdtshoorn
feather reaches 291a inches in length,
the Graft Reinet measures about "a
Inches and the Middleburg runs %
inches long. The willow plume, the
most expensive of the ostrich family,
is made plume. The length of the
f1ue is acquired by tying extra fues to
those already on the stem. This oper-
alton is done by French girls and
with marvellous skill To each flue
on long plume is tied another in
such way that the joint is Invisible.
Some plumes treated in this manner
have been priced at $1,000.
The first experiment in ostrich
farming in this country was made by
an Englishman who imported his birds
from Africa and paid as much as ST.
200 pair for them. For this pioneer
there was no fortune. But those who
have followed in his footsteps are
reaping colossal harvests. 1t is al
most impossible for milliners to meet
the demand for high grade feathers.
And it would be quite out of the ques-
ton were they dependent upon the
stock imported from Africa. But the
f1ourishing American industry makes
a large part of the supply a home
product. The United States ostrich
feathers are quite as fine and in some
instances far superior to the African
grown feather.

ConcerninQ Man-Edters.

1t seems strange that bears, SO fond
of all sorts of flesh, running the risks
of guns and fires and poison, should
never attack man except in defence OF
their young. Only wolves and tigers
seem to have learned to hunt man for
food, and perhaps sharks and croco-
dies Mosquitoes and other insects
would, / suppose, devour helpless
man in some parts of the world, and
SO might lions, leopards, wolves, by
enas, and panthers at times If pressed
by hunger-but under ordinary cir
cumstances perhaps only the tiger
among land animals may be said to
be a man-eater, unless we add man
himself-John Muir in the Atlantic.

TO BROADEN PUBLICITY BILL.
Senate Committee Will Offer Amend
ments to House Measure.

Washington. - With a view of
insuring the widest publicity Of all
the expenditures of candidates for
congress, the senate committee on
privileges and elections next week
will complete amendments to the house
bill on this subject, which will vastly
broaden the proposed law.
Much difficulty is being experienced
in finding terms which will express
the committees purpose. 1t is pro
posed to make the law applicable to
primary as well as regular elections.
The various kinds of primaries now
being used make 1t difficult to deal
with all in the same terms. An indi-
vidual accounting by both candidates
for the senate and house will be re-
quired.
An effort will be made to amend
the law applying to corrupt practices
so as to further insure the purity of
the ballot.
