CONGRESSMAN JOSEPH HOWELL
WRITES ON FREE SUGAR BILL
Writes Pointed Letter Judge Rolapp of Ogden Cotton
King of the South in Control If Enacted Into Law Would
Be Blow to the West.

TNose who have followed our ar
fticIes on the Sugar Industry will have
decided by this time that there Is
more truth than poetry in the state
ment that figures don't lie The SUI
gar industry means much to the west
and all attempts to ruin 1t will meet
with strenuous opposition in the
West A recent communication from
Hon Joseph Howell to Judge ii. IL.
.aolapp on the subject lays bare
the democratic skeleton. We are
fortunate in securing 1t for publica-
ton. II reads as follows
Hon. II. II. Rolapp.
Ogden, Utah.
My dear Judge Rolapp:
The disastrous effect of the Under
wood Free Sugar Bill, on the Sugar
UndJBtry in this country as teresly
fstated in your wire Is generally con-
,cednd by all who have given the sub
.Jecs any attention. To concede tc
ats promoter, sincere purpose TO
.desire such law, supposes either the
tmost profound ignorance OF condi.
lions surrounding this industry on
tstolid determination to destroy II.
The attitude OF the present control OF
che House of Representatives paru-
SSularly upon the industries which are
important to the maintenance of pros
lperity in the West, frequently
prompts the question: What has the
West done to incur the hostility OF
The Democratic party? Why should
tlha1 section be signaled out for its
most deadly legislative blows? Why
xyhDnld sugar, lead, wool, all be mark
I'D for slaughter so far as legislation
can destroy? Surely this is not in
saarmony with the National Democrat
he Platform, which declares for an
equitable distribution of burdens and
benefits TO all sections of the coun-
airy. The truth is, that the ancient
sspsctre of free trade which is wor'
shipped as a fetch by the cotton
growing states, is once more stalking
ariumphantly in the House. The tar
Sff doctrine that found expression In
abe constitution of the confederacy Is
dominant in the minds of the control
Hing regime. Free trade Is In the sad
die and free rein given to Its hobby
horse in the House. The tremendous
2oss to the interests thus threatened
striks amaZement and terror to all
who realize the dire consequence 20
FOLLOW such n law. 1t is the most
glaring and wanton attempt to com
pletely wreck one Of the most promis'
ing and deserving industries in our
land ever undertaken by civilized
people. The program is so astrocious
and spells such ruin and disaster that
aone shudders at the prospect OF what
could happen If the party pushing TINS
measure was In supreme control OF
the government On the other hand'
a feryent prayer Of gratitude will 20
sout from the thousands whose pros
perity is thus menaced that the cl'a'
siels OF power are still manned by

Another Child Bitten.

While playing on the grounds of the
Riverside school yesterday afternoon,
RAYMOND Evans. the Il year old son
of Mrs. Charles Evans, AIS Truman av-
enue was bitten on the arm and
shoulder by a small dog owned by c. L.
Parker 3T5 Truman avenue.
The Evans boy was playing on a
home constructed rry-go-round, and
the dog is a small puppy. After max
ing several attempts to bite the boy,
dug his sharp teeth into the boys arm
and shoulder. Although the wounds
were not deep, precautions were taken
to have the wound cauterized.
c. l. Parker. owner of the animal,
had the dog muzzled, but in some man. =
ner the dog was able to use it's teeth.
In order to prevent any more acci-
dents. Mr.. Parker offered to have the
dog killed
The son of Mrs. Huberth, who was
also bitten by a dog Is reported get
ting along nicely and in no danger.
This only goes to show that leather
muzz1es are no good and dog owners
are requested to replace them with
the regulation muzzle. The common
leather muzzle is nothing more than a
few small stranps and dog can easily
pull them off. The dog squad is still
on duty, but few amuzzled CANNES are
being found

Chicago Crooks Identified
in Indiana Harbor Affair

Time for Same Offense in
Illinois Cities.

fication bureau of Chicago. was a yisi-
tor to Indiana Harbor and East Chi

once in the penitentiary for infring-
ment of the laws of the land.
Shearen, who is nearly 10 years of
age and only a couple of years ago
finished a sentence at Joliet for doing
the same kind of a job at South Chi
cago, as he was interrupted in while
trying to put over In Indiana Harbor.
In the former case, however. he man
aged to get away with $4,000, which
he 'salted" before being convicted and
sentenced to four years in prison.

clared Captain Evans. 81 do not know

Twas Popular Institution.
The Hammond Saloonkeepers' asso-
citation has not yet taken any formal
action with reference to abolfshing the
most popular institution that Ham
mond ever had.f but at the regular
meeting of the bonfaces yesterday the
sentiment was Overwhelmingly in ia
vor of increasing the high cost of llv-
ing by ruling free lunch off the boards.
1t will only be matter of a short
time when this action may be expect
ed, and once the saloonkeepers go on
record they expect to enforce their po-
sition, being backed up by the Nichol-
son liquor law.
1T is only a question of time" said
one of the associations officials today
to THE TIMES, when we will have to
come to 1t, and we might as well take
the initiative and act before we are
forced to do it,

Woman Still at Large.

The West Hammond police. togeth-
er with the Chicago police. are hard
at work in an effort to hnd the woman
who was in company with John Mess
maker when he received the death
dealing injection of morphine.
1t is believed that her arrest will
alone solve the mystery of the motive
for the killing. The police are deter
mined to make a thorough search for
the woman.
She is known to be a "hypo" fend
and disreputable, so that her appre-
hension should not be difficult. The
incident at Foss' place today resulted
in the closing of all disorderly sa-
looms by order of the mayor, who re-
voked their licenses.

Il now costs about a half million dol
lars year to run the county of Lake,
which is a larger sum than any other
county in the state. is spending outside

The people of this county can sit up
and feel an added Importance In view
of the fact that so much money is re-
quired to run the county business.

been made up by Auditor Johnson IN

board of county commissioners, actual
iy calls for an expenditure of s44s.s34.-

HAVE MADE UP
THEIR MINDS

BY this time, it is thought the Ham
mond city councilmen have quite firm-
~ made up their minds as to how they
are going to vote on the question or
paying for the electricity for the or
namental lighting syst m in the busi-
ness district
The matter is in the hands of the
committee and alleys and while an
unfavorable report is expected from
the majority members of this commit
tee, it is nevertheless figured that the
majority in the city Will favor the
adoption of the minority report of the
committee.
John Kane and John Moriarty repre-
sent the majority of the committee on
streets and alleys. and they IL is figured
with vote against the installation of
the system, while Marion Hover is said
to represent the minority OF the COM
