SUGAR CANE SAFE.

Following the recent freeze and
cold spell which came to head on
the 10th of November when the mer-
curry dropped to % degrees, much
speculation has been INDUCED in as
to Just how much damage would be
done to the cane crop hereabouts, in
which Morgan City is most vitality in
terested. The Review Undertook to
make canvass Of many large and
small farmers in this immediate ter
ritory, and found the concensus Of
opinion at this time to be that the
resultant damage is much lighter
than was at first thought: Since cane
is practically the only crop grown in
this immediate section, if we except
corn raised for feed and truck for
home consumption, the interest in
the effects of the freeze was well
placed, since high water years and
years of freezes have proven lean
ones for Morgan City.
On the 18th of this month the
thermometer fell from 80 and 80 de-
grees, following a rather long dry
and hot spell, to 80, followed up on
the 18th by another drop to 20 de-
grees, and this in turn followed up
on the 10th to drop to % degrees.
These cold snaps were followed by
cold weather on the 18th, 18th, 18th,
goth, 21st, and 22nd, when it turned
warm of sudden and rained half
inch on the 23rd. This was consider
ed a serious turn, and fears were en-
tertained that much cane would be
lost.
AT this date, however, hopes have
been strongly entertained by most
of these interviewed that no cane
would be completely lost, while the
damage, if any, would be slight.
Considerable cane was windrowed
which, of course, means that i'm
provement was stopped when the
cane was put down; and also means
that about s to 10 per cent of this
windrowed cane would be loss, as
compared with the result had there
. be no freeze.
The farmers near Morgan City
are particularly fortunate in having
large bodies Of water on all sides
which means that the cane near this
water can stand much more cold
than cane removed from the waters
edge 1t has been stated that cane
planted a half mile from the waters
edge was placed in such condition
that injury would surely have re-
suited if the crop be not taken
off within ten days. 1t is understood
the farmers gave their first attention
to this kind of cane and removed il
from the field to the Mill, which
means that practically no loss will be
sustained.
The year 1916 has been so favor
able to the farmers hereabouts that
much concern was evidenced in the
effects Of the. freeze. The weather
for the past few days have been good
for the further preservation of any
cane which might have been serious
~ injured at the time Of the freeze.

STRIKERS OFFERED
INCREASE IN WAGES
Harrisburg Company Will Pay
Employees Two Cents an
Hour More

HARRISBURG, July 27.--At a conference
last night of the officials of the Harrisburg
Railways Company II was decided to grant
an increase in wages of cents an hour
to present employees The new scale will
be "a cents an hour for the first year, IS
cents for the second and third years and
81 cents for the fourth and fifth years, for
conductors and motormen. After the fifth
year % cents will be paid. The strikers
are asking for 26 to 81 cents for the hve-
year period
President Musser said that the strikers
could still apply for their old jobs and in
timated that some of them would be REIN
stated. He said the cars would be oper-
ated as fast as the men could be obtained
and police protection guaranteed.
Hundreds of jitnoys are now running
without city licenses, and Mayor Meals an
nounced last night that he would drive them
off the streets within few days If they did
not take out licenses.
Efforts are being made to find the person
who placed four sticks of dynamite and two
tubes of nltroglycerin in switch frog near
Rutherford yards No cars were run over
that route yesterday. The explosives were
found by the Sheriff before any damage
was done.
Last night hundwreds of sympathizers of
the men attended a mass-meeting of the
strikers at the Technical High School audi
Thorpe, Hugh L. Mclaughlin, chairman of
the local union, and others told of the car
mems side of the controversy.
Hurdy-gurdles covered with signs asking
for help for the strikers are being used by
the carmen to awaken more interest in their
cause. Small banks for funds were dis
tributed.

The navy exercises a censorship over the

impossible to control the hundreds OF small

But to reach them she would have To have
a set OF instruments powerful enough to

Therefore, according to the theory one OF

II was said at the British Embassy today
that British war vessels had general orders
not to enter the three-mile limit or even
TO hover just across the line.
Notification Of the Deutschland obtaining
its clearance papers at Baltimore and the
report of the tour of Chesapeake Bay by

UNITED BUSINESS MEN
FIGHT SMALL COUNCIL

arc still experimental, and should receive
more trial In smaller towns. Philadelphia
is too large city for such experiment
at this time I do not believe the general
public will accept such an arrangement.
The establishment of a Council of but 16
men would be simply to transfer the power
and responsibility from 130 men to a much
smaller number, thereby lessening the num-
ber of persons to be held responsible.
Councils at the present time are un-
doubtedly too large, but we think the plan
proposed makes them much too small in
numbers 1 think your committee should
first consider revision of ward lines, to
divide some of the large wards and combine
some of the small ones in one. The result
would be that the total number of wards
would then amount to possibly SO. A Coun-
Gil consisting of 35 members would likely
be the proper size.
II thought it best TO notify you of what
our sentiments are on this most important
question, We are with you on the general
proposition, with the exception OF the two
points have explained.

WASHINGTON. July 27.--The protest by
4fia United States to England against the
Iattefs commercial blacklist was forwarded
70 London last night and will be given out
Tor publication here Monday morning
The note Is divided into two parts In the
nfAt place this Government will insist on
Hueclac guarantees as to the effect of the
blacklist OF American firms. In the second,
the whole question Of the principle of such
boycott will be entered into, the United
States resisting England's contention OF her
right to establish It.
The specific guarantees are wanted imme-
ciateiy.
The matter of the principle at stalks viii
be threshed out in the time Il takes for
necessary diplomatic exchanges.
The guarantees demanded are:
THAT biaclslisted Arms be allowed to
f1ll their standing contracts and collect
their standing debts.
That there be no extension OF the
blacklist to American firms dealing
with blackiisted firms in neutral coun-
tries or the United States
That the blacklisted firms be not pre-
vented from dealing with neutral coun-
triee particularly South America.
The pressure upon the White House to
force England TO eliminate what the busi-
ness interests affected declare Is an open
sttempt to dominate American trade is In
creasing. Complaints are arriving by every
mail ana the PRESIDENT mas asked the state
Department to hurry the collection OF evil
dence upon which the protest can be based.
Meanwhile the department is insisting,
through the British Embassy here. that GER
tain, firms admittedly innocent OF violating
any part OF the British decree be removed
from the boycott list. These Individual
cases are being taken UP directly with
London by the British Embassy officials
here. 1t Is understood that most of the
Individual cases brought to the attention CT
the British Government will likely receive
favorable action.
