est Tribunal,

Washington. oct. 1.-THE entire
membership Of the supreme court was
here today ready to begin tomorrow
the years work. Outside Of brief re-
cesseS the court will be in session
until next June.
The real session will begin Tuesday,
but no decisions are expected until

Among the first motions to be made

ton in the South, the validity Of the

has given it extended consideration,
as well as the general subject OF trade
with the Holland ports. That Ques-
ton, as may easily be seen, involves
considerations other than n mere
right of neutrals to deal with neutral
ports. While on the subject Of cot
ton, there is no impeachment to the
shipment of cotton TO any country,
not excepting the belligerents. Cot
ton is non-contraband, fer the mani
fest reason that in its raw state it
cannot be used for purposes of war
in order to be available for use by
the armies, navieS or forces Of the
bclligerentS, it has first to undergo

ranked as a nOn-COntraband in the
London convention. OF course ship

if they are to escape detention. must
be shipped in American or other YES

legal impeachment to a ship o. of
cotton going direct to Hamburg con-
signed to German %spinners, and. per-
sonally, / hope to see the expectation
Of cotton to the countries at war in
crease. The English give preference,
l understand, to Egyptian cotton, but
the other countries at war, no doubt,
are in need of raw cotton. Apparently
the American cotton interests should,
if they have no already dom SO, seek
out these markets.

ASHEVILLE HAS 4 "RAFFTES."
Gentleman Burglar Walks Out
Through Officers.

Asheville, Oct. 11.-One Of the
smoothest specimens OF the genus
"Raffes" that has ever operated in
Western North Carolina is busy in
Asheville, and this morning about
three o'clock, by IN incredible dis
play of nerve. he again succeeded in
eluding the officers. About 1855 O'Clock
people residing at 216 Patton avenue
heard some one moving through the
house. Police headquarters was call
ed and a patrol wagon filled with po-
licemen rushed to the scene. AS the
wagon drew up before the house, and
the policemen tumbled ou., anxious to
capture the burglar, a man walked
quietly through their ranks, topped
up street and disappeared. 1t was
"Rafaes." He made his way through
a window into a house three doors
further on, and when the alarm was
given there, escaped through a back
window. Apparently the burglar took
nothing of value and his raids seem
more a defiance of the police than
really plans to burglarize houses. Yes
terday morning he entered the home
OF L. N. Eller and secured some cloth
ing, part Of which was later returned.
The police are seeking earnestly for
a clue that will lead to the capture of
"RafheS.'

DETROIT VOTES ON
RADICAL CHANGES

DETROIT, Mich, Feb. 1O.-After
one of the most spirited campaigns
in the history of local politics, voters
of Detroit went to the polls today 70
ratify or reject the proposed new city
charter, written last fall by board
of charter commissioners. Early in
dications were that voting would be
heavy. The proposed charter is con-
sidered more or less of compromise
between the demands of those who
wanted as few changes as possible in
the old document, but it leans to the
radical rather than the conservative
side.
1t provides for separation of city
from state and national elections;
the election of city officials every
four years on a non-partisan ballot
with preferential feature, permit
ting citizens to vote for second and
third choices; a concentration of pow
er in the hands of the mayor, who,
like other city officials, is made sub
ject to the recall; the initiative and
referendum; municipal ownership of
the gas plant and the extension of
the public lighting service to private
consumers and control of telephone
rates and service by the common
council. City ownership of the street
car lines was authorized at special
election last April, but new charter
amendment on that subject strength
ems the old provisions.
The proposed charter provides that
the common council shall be cut from
36 to 21 members, one from each city
ward. The board of estimates is
abolished and control over the budget
given to the council and mayor. A
minimum wage of $3.50 day on all
city work, or by contractors is pro-
vided. A department of labor well
fare is created, to have general
charge of all labor interests and to
arbitrate disputes between employer
and employees.

O'DONNELL ATTEMPTS
TO SHOOT BONFILS

DENVER, Colo, Feb. 9.-During a
fight in the court house corridor this
morning between F. G. Bonfils of the
Denver Post, and Attorney 7. j. o.
Donnell, the latter drew revolver
and it is alleged, attempted to shoot
Bonfils.
Long standing bitter emnity be-
tween the two men increased as re-
suit of the water franchise campaign.
They met in the court house this
morning where Bonfils has a suit
pending against the water company.
Bonfils alleged that O'Donnell insult
ed him. A row resulted. Bonfils
struck O'Donnell in the face with his
right hand, his heavy seal ring in
flicting an ugly cash. Bystanders
say that O'Donnell drew revolver
and tried to shoot. Bonfils grabbed
the weapon and thrust his thumb un-
der the hammer. O'Donnell again
tried to shoot but Michael Delaney,
ex-chief of police, disarmed him.
Bonfils swore out warrant charg-
ing O'Donnell with criminal assault
with intent to kill. He asserts that
ODonnelfs attack was unwarranted.

SUGAR FACTORY WILL
RUN THIS SEASON

GRAND JUNCTION.-The Grand
junction sugar factory will operate
this fall with reduced acreage. Not
more than 1000 acres of beets will
be contracted for and the scale has
been fixed at $4.75 per ton. However,
1t is announced that the price Of
hand labor to the farmers will be re-
duced to point that will make the
returns to the grower equal approx
mately $500 per ton.
E. C. Sharer of the company has
been in the city for several days and
has been arranging for the coming
campaign. The sugar from the lin
tied acreage the company will plant
this year will all be sold in western
Colorado so that the company will not
be under the necessity of meeting
the price Of the trust factories at the
Missouri river markets. No sugar
will be sold outside western Colorado
While this will mean shorter cam
paign than usual, it is believed that
the price of sugar will stiffen in the
next few months and that next year
the usual campaign can be carried on.
r. P. Davie stated when he was in
the city several weeks ago that he
considered any cut in the price for
beets at this time as only a temp
orary arrangement to be changed af-
ter the market improved.
The company officials are conf
dent that the acreage can be secured
at the scale announced and that they
will be able to select growers who
have proven themselves the best pro-
ducers of beets.
Mr.. Sharer expects to be in Grand
Junction probably for the remainder
of the week.
