Smoot Predicts Expensive
Sugar Under New Tariff

A prediction that the price of sugar
would be reduced by the sugar refiners
until the domestic cane and beet sugar
producers had been destroyed and that
the refiners then would boost the price
of sugar higher than it has been for
years and reap the benefits. through the
removal of the duty on sugar, was made
by Senator Smoot of Utah during the
debate on the sugar schedule in the Sem
ate today.
''Some may say that, even though the
domestic sugar industry be destroyed by
the removal of the tariff, may not we
still have cheap sugar? Will not sugar
be refined in European countries, come
IN here and force the refiners to reduce
prices?"
Senator Smoot said this was an idle
dream: that the American sugar refiners
had the entire business in this country
concentrated within their grasp. that ii

TO CONSIDER PLAN
TO EDUCATE BLIND
Commissioners Favor Teach
ing SightIess Children in Dis
triCt Schools if Possible.

Consideration will be given by the
Commissioners at their next board ses-
sion to the proposal that they provide
for the free education Of blind children
in the public schools of the District of
Columbia.
An investigation to determine the
practicability of such an undertaking
is now being made by the board of
charities under the direction of Sec
rotary George G. Wilson. The Commits
sioners have received from Miss Ella
Lorraine Dorsey of the National Library
for the Blind a communication favor
ing the plan and announced today that
they intend to look carefully into the
matter before commencing preparation
of the next estimates.
Now Taught at Baltimore.
Congress appropriates $4,000 annually
for the education of sightless children in
the District whose parents are unable to
pay for the instruction. These children
are sent to Baltimore institution by the
board of charities.
The fight being made by Miss Dorsey
and others is to have the stigma Of
pauperism removed from the misfortune
of blindness They contend that the
cost of educating the blind in the local
public schools will not be great. and that
the $1,000 appropriation which is expend-
ed every year by the board of charities
would go great distance toward meet
ing the expense.
The Commissioners. it is believed. will
favor the plan. provided it can be shown
that blind children can receive better
education in the local schools than is
provided under the present system, which

Beet Sugar Under Discussion.

During the debate on the sugar sched-
ule yesterday afternoon Senator Bris-
tow asserted that the American Sugar
Refining Company, which several years
ago started out to acquire the beet sugar
factories abandoned the plan because
they found it would be cheaper and
easier to destroy this industry through
free sugar than to control it by purchase
of stock, he said.
Senator Walsh declared chat testimony
of beet sugar men before the lobby COM
| mittee was to the effect that the reason
| the American Sugar Refining Company
| reduced its holdings in the beet sugar
plants of the west was because of fear
of the Sherman antitrust law.
| Senator William Alden Smith said:
Il venture the assertion that the Amer
lean Sugar Refining Company nor any
| of it's owners has not purchased any
beet sugar stock since the democratic
party came into power, and will not buy
| any until you have passed your bill and
your three years of strangulation have

to all imports guaranteeing Cuba a

in the tariff rates by law.
Undoubtedly, he added, 1.-The bill will
give Cuba the right to serve notice of

Senator Ransdell of Louisiana today
