BURNED JUDAS IN EFFIeY
In That Way the Guides Showed Their
Love for the Christian
Religion.

We hanged Judas 1scariot today.
Having expressed our Joy over the res
direction of Christ by gorging our.
selves with roast lamb and bitter
wine, by firing guns, rockets and tor
pedoes and by lighting bonfires, We
gave vent to our remaining enthusi-
asm in one grand burst of mock ven
geance directed against the unfortu-
nate mortal who was destined from
the foundation of the world to figure
as cats paw in the plan of salvation.
The burning took place in the front
Of little church of the Virgin, sit
uated on the highest part of the city.
From pole erected before the door
hung crude, wretched, melancholy
figure stuffed with straw, and ridicu-
lousy suggesting the image of man.
Within the church the priest was con-
Quoting the regular Sunday service
At last the doors were thrown wide
open and the whole congregation
gusaed forth like water from broken
dam, and Immediately thereafter ev-
cry man and boy in the square was
shooting away at the effigy. Poor Ju-
das whirled about and danced in the
air as the bullets peppered him and
suddenly burst into flames. When a
Greek feels particularly happy, or
wishes to express his enthusiasm he
produces an old musket or pistol and
discharges It Resurrection Day in
Greece resembles the Fourth of July

NEW YORK, Jan. 81 Having
failed, in the past week or so, to re-
spond as might have been expected
to actual news, tho stock market broke
DECIDEDLY today in the absence Of any
news at all. Opening prices were
fractionally lower; then, later on, a
vigorous selling movement by pro-
fessional spectators caused declines
which ran to two and four points in
stocks like Steel and Union Pacific,
with smaller losses in other parts
of the market.
The demonstration was clearly has.
ed on the familiar stock exchange the
ory that if prices will not advance
when pushed in an upward direction,
it is time for them to go down. This
is not always the most impressive of
arguments: but no doubt it gains some
weight Just now from the fact that
nothing is Immediately in sight Of a
character to stimulate prices.

In statement issued today, H. w.

In a statement issued today, H. w.
Green said:
1T was not my intention to refer
again to this ordinance controversy
N the public press, as quite natur-
ally expected that the mayor, being
made acquainted with the opinion of
the people as evinced by the remon-
STRANGE petition, would voluntarily re-
consider the offensive ordinance, how
ever the Implications he makes II.
yolr issue of last evening demand
that do.
..Mr. Elder states there are but two
known DIRECTORS and in this he dis
plays the same inability to see the
city's interests as he did when he
caused Special Ordinance 1888 to be
passed. Whether from obtuseness or
obstinacy he seems unable to grasp
the basic principle of my contention.
Seeing the subject only from his own
narrow views as a partisan and cham
mon Of the Burlington route he is not
broad enough to concede that per-
haps there may be those who are not
aetuated by selfish, corporate influ-
ence. The same railroad that will
be the sole beneficiary under Special
Ordinance 1888 will no ,-oubt adopt it's
usual tactics of hiding behind some
one else when sand-Ngging the city
out Of a valuable concession.
1T seems useless to repeat it, but
will repeat. that ! am not opposed
to any Encouragement of trackage on
the Ieyee. My contention solely is for
the proper regulation and control of
switching charges, and who makes
these charges, whether the Burline
ton, Wabash or any other railroad is
matter of indifference to me.
Nh Elder has the faculty of dis
toring facts and statements to ac-
cord with his own views. He stated
correctly that appeared at the city
office twice to protest against the or
dinance, but he failed to state that |
refused ever to consider his sugges-
ton that my rights be protected by
sEecial side agreement, as I stood
then as | stand now, for general pub
lie protection The mayor minimizes
what we are giving to the Burlington
and magnifies what the Burlington is
giving CD to the city. The perfec-
ton for the Burlington of a shady
title to valuable public rights and
land is matter of little moment, but
mat we would ask the assurance
Of reasonable equitable switching
charges in return is a crying injus-
tice to the railroad.
In my opinion the Burlington. Wa,
bash or any other railroad should pay
ior what they get, but as the mayor
thnks otherwise what we have in our
control will probably go for nothing.
The Identification of the levee
seems to be the pet idea of the may
or and he will sacrifice utility to
beauty. My idea of beautiful levee
is busy one.
II ! had been a Burlington attor.

POLISH SUGAR
BEET INDUSTRY

The growing of bcets for seed In

lection, so that the local seed quite
equals that of the foreign, and In many
cases 1t has turned out much better.
This perfection. however, was not cas-
lily attained only many years syste
matte and careful work in selection has
brought about this Improvement
The help received from the local sug-
mr. rehners has been of great assist
ance, while information regarding the
progress and development In beet seed
culture was supplied by the expert
mental station attached to the Museum
of Industry and Agriculture, II is now
hoped that, having overcome the most
difficult part, steps will be taken to
take advantage of what has been
gained.
II appears. however, especially in
years when the beet seed crop Is linn
tied, that those Interested lose their
opportunities, because at such times
German wholesale dealers buy up early
the seed from the planters in Poland
and Nolhynia at the very lowest prices,
and when the season for the demand
comes around the Polish sugar refin-
ers find themselves compelled to buy
back this same seed from the German
firms at greatly enhanced prices. Such
was the situation in 1909, which was II
very bad year for beet seed. In 1910
the purchase by foreign firms ceased,
NJ II was good crop year. This year
foreign agents showed great inclina-
ton to buy again, and it appears that
large quantities Of seed have been con-
tracted for. This leads to the belief
that the seasons crop will not be large,
and wherefore those parties interested
