QUARRY SAVING
CITY'S MONEY, IS
Collins CLAIM
Engineer Declares Rock Has
Been Produced Cheaper Than
II Can Be Purchased

Rock is being produced by the city
at less cost than ii could buy it. ac-
cording to report submitted by
George NJ. Collins, city engineer, at
last nights meeting of the supervi-
sors. His report, covering the period
from January to February 20. con-
tains one important qualification, 'If
the yardage as reported is correct.
Notwithstanding the paper profit
on the operation of the municipal
quarry It win be closed tomorrow, as
the greater part of the rock produced
lis being stored. The money could be
used for more important purposes"
declares Collins. speaking Of the $500
tied up in stored rock The quarry
will be closed March /, as the city has
no use for the amount of rock pro
duced as long as $4,000 a month is all
the road department has to run on. >
During January there were 1343
cubic yards of rock produced at the
quarry, according to Collins figures
at cost of S1401.S0. The average
price of all grades was S104 cubic
yard The lowest bids in the posses
sion of the city purchasing agent gave
an average price of s1.05. Only 743
yards were used by the city during
the month, costing sS17.S2; and rock to
the value of 1854 was stored
From February / to 20 $40 yards
were quarried at a cost of s927.04, or
an average of $109 1t would have
cost $952.05, or SLIP a yard, to buy
ct contract prices. There were SOIL
yards used and s255.S9 worth stored.
Today is the last day the quarry
will be in operation. Mayor Lane was
ordered by the board to conduct ne
gotiations for the renewal of the lease
in case it is found profitable to re
sumo operation after July l.. T..
The city engineer has promised to
have plans for the efficient running
of the quarry on an up to date basis
ready for the consideration of the
board by that date.

DOGGY OF FREE
SUGAR BURIED;
EXCISEUMIKELY
So Washington Representative
of Cane Growers Sizes
Up Situation

That strong opposition exists IN
both branches OF Congress over the
proposal--said to be backed by the re-
fning interests-for consumption or
excise tax on sugar, is emphasized In
a circular letter received in this morn
ing's mail by Paul J. Christian, repre-
sentative and publicity man in Wash
ington for the American Cane Grow
ers Association.
The letter. which viii be of interest
to Hawaii says:
Il am enclosing a copy Of the bill in
troduced yesterday by Mr.. kitchin.
the Democratic leader in the House,
to repeal the free sugar clause OF the
Underwood tariff law,
THE Democratic leader decided to
make the Intention of Congress upon
the subject OF this legislation SO plain
that there could be nc room for mis-
understanding. Therefore he used the
word repealed This buries the free
sugar DOGGY for long time to come.
AS originally drafted by the friends
Of the domestic sugar industry, the
word .asuspended" was substituted for
repealed" 1t was thought that this
word would not be so offensive to the
men who were responsible for writ
ing the free sugar clause into the
present tariff law.
"On the other hand, II has been
feared that the same Influences which
built up the sentiment for free sugar
would renew their efforts as soon as

MARTIAL Law in

Especial Cable to Liberty News.)
SHANGHAI, China. Feb. 29.-Mar-
tial law has been declared jim Shang-
tung province. Several Civilians in
sympathy with the Republicans were
apprehended today by Chan Wan
Fung and accused of influencing citi-
zens of Tsinan to join the revolution
airy movement. Several have been
sentenced to be shot
Two projects, Low Chow and Tung
Chow, have welcomed the rebels and
have begun war on Yuan Shih.kais
troops stationed in and around Tsinan.
The governorgeneral will not, allow
any of the residents to leave the city,
and excitement in Tsinan is at fever
heat. Soldiers of the monarchy have
gone over to the revolutionary party,
and Chan Wan Fung has wired Picking
for achievements
Republican sympathizers in this
province have raised 100000 to carry
on the campaign against Tsinan, and
it is expected that fierce battle will
be Waged in this vicinity The cap
ture of this city will give the repub-
licans stronghold on the road from
Peking to Shanghai.
Sentiment has destroyed the worth
of Yuan Shih-Kai's eighteenth divi-.
sion. Fung Duck was in command of
this division during the first revolu-
ton, and when the soldiers heard that
their old commander was to make an
attack, leading the revolutionary
troops, hundreds of them announced
that they would cast their lot with the
republic. The republican troops are
now making an attack on Hang Yang.
A. late report states that two projects
in Hupeh have welcomed the repub-
lican troops, but this has not yet been
verified.

normal trade conditions returned fol-
lowing Deaee in Europe, and that the
use of suspended instead of re
peaIed' would be an invitation to
these men to point to the fact that
the suspension Led simply been tenn
porary act OF expediency to help the
treasury.
Therefore the proposed unqualified
repeal is hailed with much satisfaction
by the friends of the domestic sugar
industry.
AS was stated in the letter sent
out from this Office under date of Feb
ruary 18th, the postoffice appropria.
ton bin is now being considered by
the house, and il is not likely that the
repeal of the free sugar clause will be
taken up until that is disposed of. In
well informed circles ii is expected
that the bill introduced yesterday by
Mr.. Kitcl1in will be reached in about
two weeks, and that it will be passed
without much trouble or delay.
while the refiners are seeking to
have Mr. Kitchin's bill amended when
il reaches the senate by adding the
CONSUMPTION tax feature of one-half
cent pound upon all domestic sugar
yet, il is not likely that this effort
will be successful.
THE refiners are said to be prepar.
ing to renew their fight for the impo-
sition of consumption tax later in
the session when the bills for raising
additional revenues are reported to the
house. There is strong opposition in
both branches of Congress, however,
to the inauguration of such revolu.

PENNSY COULDN'T
PREVENT DEATHS
How Sixteen Passengers Lost Their
Lives Last Year On That
Road.
W Address


If not a rule has been broken last
year by an employe of this railroad,
if not one signal had been disregard
ed, if every order had been obeyed to
the letter, if every train had run on
time, if not a wheel or a bolt or a rail
had failed-in shot,. if the millennium
IN rallr ad operation had been reach
ed-still 16 people, classed as passen-
gers, would have lost their lives IA
the lines Of this system east Of Pitts
burgh and Erie.
Here are the ways in which these
16 people sacrificed their own lives
last year:
Three attempted to board moving
trains.
Six jumped or fell from moving
trains.
Four jumped CT fell from ferry
boats.
One stood on the edge of station
platform and was struck by train.
Two stepped in front of moving
trains at stations.
Every one Of these fatalities is
counted in the Interstate Commerce
Commissions reports as a railroad
accident yet The railroad was DOW
erlcss to prevent any Of them. Acct
dents of this kind would not happen
at all if passengers used ordinary care
and complied with the regulations
made for their own safety.
No passenger has been killed in a
train accident on the entire Pennsy1
vania Railroad system for more thar
two years and one the lines east Of
Pittsburgh for more than three years.
