Over the Action of the Demo.
Gratis against the Beet
Industry.

SAN FRANCISCO, Calf, April 80
-All California, for its hundreds OF
miles in length, is in a turmoil over
the free sugar bill, that threatens to.
wipe out C%alifornia's greatest indi-
vidual industry. Not even in the
days when the yellow peril" and
immigration OF Japanese and Chinese
was such a topic of interest has the
situation approached the condition
at present. Meetings are of daily
occurrence in the cities and in the
villages. Every city's chamber OF
commerce has passed resolutions
and petitions demanding that the
free sugar bill be killed, and the
days are being made miserable for
the two representatives Of the state
at Washington who favor free su-
gar. Congressman Kent and Ra.ker
voted for free sugar in the House.
but the fires of public opinion have
become so hot that there is said to
be not a chance OF the reelection of
either of these lawmakers, If they
continue to oppose the public senti-
ment of the state.
Farmers associations all over the
state have taken action, and now,
having practically assured a solid
vote from California against free
sugar in the future, the sugar beet.
raisers OF the state are beginning
their campaign to show the dangers
of the situation to the people of
other states where sugar is less i'm
portant an industry. The farmers
associations have completed plans
for bringing the situation to the at
tention of the members OF Congress
from West Virginia who voted for
free sugar when the bill passed the
House, and the California farmers
societies T sending letter after let
into West Virginia to have the
farmers associations of that state
express themselves against free SUI
gar in no mild terms, and to notify
tho West Virginia congressman of
their sentiments. The West Virginia
congressman who voted for free
sugar were John w. Davis, william
Brown, A. B. Littlepage and John
", Hamilton. all Democrats, and II
California method of saving the
states agricultural interests is used
n West Virginia these congressman
soon learn that the politics Of
sugar on the free list is a
boomerang.
The California situation is at
White heat. Since the agitation be-
:ame pronounced. there have been
'ver 200 meetings of protest held in
'arious parts OF the state. A char
lcteristic meeting was held at sacra-
nento, at which a telegram was
ormulated to be sent to the califor-
Tia senator's, saying that there is .
low produced in America 500, 900 /,
ons of beet sugar a year, Of which !
60, 900 tons is produced by the ten
factories, and that to
reduce this sugar 10000 acres of

CALIFORNIA IS VERY
GREATLY AROUSED

land are used and produce crops
more profitable than any other
farm crop, to the farmer. The Cal
.tfornia industry spends Sc, 100000 a
year with the farmers, and the tele-
gram concluded with the declaration
that this industry would be wiped
out with the passage Of the free
sugar bill.
Another message sent to the peo-
pie Of the state. is through the news
papers by Jay E. Randall. secretary
of the Southern California Beet
Growers Association, in which he
points out the value to the farmer
of the beet crop, especially as a re-
~juvenator of worn-out soil, the
production pc sugar beets serving
the same purpose as the use of high
priced artificial fertilizers.
Advices received from Washing
ton by the beet sugar men are to
the effect that the Senate viii not
Tpass the bill, Many senators, at first
supposed to be in favor Of free
sugar. are finding that the farmer
is not SO short-sighted as to wish to
sacrifice a great industry to his own
personal profit, which in the case OF
sugar would be only a rev cents a
year, ven If the wiping out of beet
sugar competition did not make 1t
possible for the sugar trust to hold
the prices higher than ever before
known.
Many insurgent senators are I'M
destood to be opposed to the free
sugar bill, including Senator's Clapp
and Nelson, of Minnesota, and sena-
tors from several other progressive
states. Even Senator Bailey,
Texas, when he found large
tions of his state we're suitable
beet and cane raising, changed
attitude, and may eventually
for the retention Of the tariff,
spite the fact that his party con
uents fathered the bill.
Senator Bristow, of Kansas
of the strongest of the progress
is said to be willing to vote /
measure to cut the duty a $
amount, such as five per cent

facturers can adapt themselves

DEPLORES BRITISH SHOWING
London Sporting Writer Urges
Imnnrtance Of Organization.

nv Transatantlc wireless 20 The Triounel
London, July 13.-The English are
deeply chagrined at the failure OF their
athletes at Stockholm and the papers
are full Of complaints Of the lack OF
preparation Of the men. ". keech
Thomas, ex-president Of the Oxford Uni
versity Athletic Club. calls the situation
the scandal Of the Olympic games and
says Great Britain has suffered in her
name and fame in those games.
The pride Of every Englishman present
at the Stadium, he says, is daily CALLED
by what he sees, hears and feels. I'VE
could not run, so 1t appeared, either tbs
long distances or the short" writes Mr..
Thomas. I'VE could not jump either the
broad or the high. The team, indeed,
did not train TO win, did not run to win,
was not organized TO win. The men ac-
cepted defeat as If the Olympic games
were a competition OF parlor tricks in a
provincial drawing room.
Let me draw the contrast with the
United States. When all is said that
can methods. it remains that they have
won an unprecedented series Of remark
able victories by determination, skill
zeal, organization and sheer merit. Their
team was a model team. Meredith.
Sheppard. Craig Lippincott and half a
dozen besides are athletes Of a quality
seldom II ever before produced. Events
such as the pentathlon were won By
them simply because they were fit. Their
men were especially trained over the
long course for months for this particu-
lar contest and with the possible ex-
ception Of some momentary hampering
there can be nothing in the running
which can be stigmatized as in the least
degree unfair or unsportsmanlike
The number OF false starts was un-
fortunate, but not premeditated. l have
never admired any athletes more. They
ran with dash and judgment. They were
trained to perfection. II our team had
been collected and the competition had
been organized by men as we'll qualified
as the Americans we should have done
well instead of badly. We lost because
we deserved to lose.
THE next games will be held In Ber-
lin, and the Americans have vaulting
ambitions TO surpass even themselves.
The only way to retrieve our national
reputation Is to begin at once to orga-
nize our organization.
mo nation can afford to throw away
its reputation as We have thrown ours
away. Every Englishman IN Stockholm
has gone day by day into the Stadium
with a deeper sense Of humiliation.
When Jackson won the mile the specta-
tors felt the astonishment. It had come
to this, that nothing was more unex-
pected than an English victory"

In a glorious whole sail breeze from the
west, the racing fiotilla Of the lower bay

race made up OF a reach on the port tack
from the starting line to mark or Nor

reach TO Fort Hamilton, followed by oeat
10 Bensonhurst, and another reach home
The Soya made poor start and had 10
be recalled. The other boats got away
excellently, and at the end of the hrst
round the Alice had a comfortable LEAD

were: The Alice. 353:0i; the GrayjacKet'
3:s3:25; the Soya, 3:54:l5; the Spider, S:oo'SZ'
and the Florence, 3:55:5l. During the sec
ond round, the Grayjacket moved into first
place, and won by minute and seconds
from the Alice.
The other divisions also had interesting
racing. On both actual ard corrected time
the Joy took the first division Of the handi-
cap class and although she was the second
home the Blue Bill won the second ol-
