FINE APPOINTMENT
 FOR FRANK GAMBLE
Young Jasper Attorney Named Chief of the Legal Department of Interstate Commerce Com mission in the South With Headquarters in Chattanooga Will Appoint 200
 Assistants

Frank A. Gamble, a well known young attorney of Jasper. has been appointed by the interstate commerce commission--and the appointment has been approved by the President-chief of the legal department of the south ern branch of the service, with head quarters in Chattanooga. MT. Gamble will take up his new duties not later than October I.
 Mir Gamble was in Birmingham yester- day, having just returned from Wash ington. He was receiving the congratula- tons of his friends at the Newspaper | club last night in that he had been so signally honored with such fine appoint
 ment. He explained that as chief of the legal department of the commission
 for the south, his principal duty would l consist in appraising the value of south
 ern railroad properties. He stated also that while considerable portion of his l time would be spent in Chattanooga. he

would retain his legal residence in Jas per.
 As legal chief for the south, MT. Gam ble will have Jurisdiction over all south ern states east of the Mississippi river, and over the states of Kentucky. Ohio and Indiana, in addition. He will have the appointment from civil service lists If over 200 assistants. His private secre- tary will be a man of his own selection without even civil service restraint, and the secretary will receive an annual sal ary of SlSoo.
 In connection with this appointment, 1t is of interest to note that whereas Birmingham, after an effort. lost the southern headquarters of the interstate commerce commission to Chattanoogas it secured the appointment of the legal chief. In this way Birmingham was as success ful as it was when after losing the re- gional bank of the south to Atlanta, it was able to land one of it's citizens as member of the national governing board.

 MT. Friel would not make any off cial statement yesterday about what he would write in regard to the bond issue However, he will not indorse the proposition of MT. kendrick, ac- cording to report yesterday. Mr Friel is very much interested in mu- nicipal waterworks. He would prob ably vote for a bond issue to purchase plant or build competing plant pref erably the latter. However, 1t is said to be very remote possibility that MT Friel will vote for the plan which was created in less than three weeks by the city engineer.

Maughon Makes Statement

''The countries now at war in Eu rope are not al present producers, said Mir. Maughon yesterday. They formerly were large raisers of live stock, The position now is just the reverse at what it was be- fore the war. We will be called upon to feed practically the entire world because we are the only producing country in the world. Pork has advanced, due to the scarcity of hogs. All packing cen ters from January l to September l are short nearly 10000 cars of live cattle. The price from the farmer to the packer has advanced although we have not increased our prices because of it. We will be compelled to do so before very long.
 s1t is my honest opinion that this country will be in the throes of meat famine soon. The receipts Of hogs Is away below expecta tions.. Hogs now cost us exactly S1 to $150 more than they did at this time last year and they are hard to get at that price. Cattle has advanced one-half a cent pound on the hoof"
 W. F. Blackford of the Donovan Provision company agrees with MT
 
 famine and he bears out the state ment of the Armour manager as re gards the scarcity of hogs and the con sequent rise in the prices to the pack CTS. Cattle, too, says Mir. Blackford are scarce, and the price is more thar it was last year
 q don't believe that the packers are advancing prices arbitrarily" said MT. Blaclxford last night. "It ha ta enter into an agreement. When one speaks of packers. the general public thinks, immediately of Ar mour, Cudahy. Swift. Morris and the other large concerns. but there are hundreds of smaller concerns all over the United States that compete with each other insa most lively manner for the trade of wholesalers. We deal extensively with the Evansville Packing com pany in Indiana and we make them compete with several other packers We get the very best prices and I know personally that the Evansville people pay good prices to the producer

 European Crop Lost
 The war will mean q serious loss to the European crop, and has brought about a tremendous ad vance in sugar prices in European ports and an unprecedented de- mand for raw and refined sugars in this country, and its sources of production. We have been com pelled to raise our price for re- fined sugar to an amount corre- spending to the increased price which we have to pay for raws.
 .sOn July 2S raw sugar was sold at 3.20c per pound. On August IA the price of raw sugar had risen to 6.52c per pOnnd. On July l5 this company was selling granuinted sugar for 4.4Oc per pound, since which tfme it has been compelled to raise it's price to mn amount cOrre- spending 10 that which it has had to pay for raws.
 "We sincerely trust that the threatened loss of the beet crops in Europe will not be so serious as estimated, and that the yield abroad may approach the normal. It is for the interest of refiner and dealer that the consumption of su- gar should be as large as possible, as high prices cause reduction in consumption. In any event this company will continue to offer It's sugars at a reasonable margin over the raw sugar prices. Very truly yours,

Letter From the American Sugar Refining Go. to Tyler Grocery Go. Goes
 Into Details
INCREASE MADE TO MEET HIGHER PRICE
 FOR RAW MATERIALS
Europe Produces Over Eight Million Tons of Beet Sugar Annually and Loss to Crop Through War
 Gives Rise to Great De-
 mand for Raw Sugar

The refiners' side of the rise in the price of sugar Is given in letter re- ceived yesterday by the Tyler Grocery company. It was sent out by the American Sugar Refining company. and gives a table showing the eompara- tive production of sugar m several European countries. and how the world production is affected by the war in Europe.
 Germany produced before the beginning of the war 2,7ss.0o0 tons of sugar an uually. Russia came second with \ production of 1.75O,oo0 tons. The le1- Ter from the American Sugar Refnins company follows:
 Gentlemen: This company re-
 alizes the difficulties which have
 arisen by reason of the phenome- nal rise in the price of sugar It
 appreciates that it may be neces-
 sary for you to explain to your cus- toners the present high price of a necessity of life. usually sold at much lower prices than now pre- vail.
 eThe situation is so unusual as to occasion universal comment, but the rise is easily explained. and we desire to make to you and through you to such of your GUS toners as are interested. the fol- lowing statements
 Production by Countries | .In the first place let us make it clear to you thnt this company | sells less than 10 per cent of the
 refined sugar in the United states, and secondly, that it does not own
 m acre of sugar land and does not i produce a pound Of raw sugar. It is entirely dependent for its sup ply upon tue growers of cane su- gar oi Porto Rico, Cuba, Hawaii,
 the Philippines, Jaya and other ' countries.
 Tn normal times Europe has
 beet crop producing each year about S,000,00O tons of sugar. For ! example, the European countr, >

 duced during the last campaign the | following amounts of sugar.
