SUGAR CONTROVERSY SET
TLED-REFINERY WILL
OPERATE

New Orleans, Aug. %. The an
nouncement from New York by
President Earl D. Babst, that
the Chalmette plant of the
American Sugar Refining Com
pany would not be closed, that
Louisiana raw sugars would be
bought on the open market. and
that the company would not re
move from the State. has acted
as a tonic upon the financial sit
uation at New Orleans and in the
State generally. Of course still
greater Importance, however, is
the change of sentiment mani.
tested toward the big refining
company since President Rabst
assumed authority and made his
first trip to New Orleans to con-
fer with the business men, bank
ers, sugar planters and dealers
and commercial exchanges OF
this city some months ago.
President Babst, owing to his
frankness, tact and fairness was
able to put the refinery in a
light different from that previ-
ously entertained. Hence his
telegram to Mayor Martin Be-
hrman who. with L. NJ. Pool,
Vice President of the Hibernia
Band, took on active and lead
ing part in the negotiations
which brought about a settle
ment of the situation, was re.
ceived with great satisfaction
by the commercial, labor and in
dustrial interests of New Or
leans. The dismissal of the GUS
ter proceedings, upon which a
majority of the sugar planters
and dealers themselves insisted,
will compose a situation which
threatened an economic disrup-
ton in the state, and pave the
way for a better understanding
between not only the American
Sugar Refining Company and
the public, but between the pub.
lie and corporations generally.
Louisiana is advancing as a
state of industrial Importance,
and since the time great
amounts of foreign capital be-
gan flowing into the state for
the development Of agriculture,
industries and commerce, there
has been q marked tendency to-
ward a more encouraging atti-
tude toward large industries
that create wealth for the state,
give employment to thousands
and increase the public revenues
MANIFOLD.
That President Babst on the
one side and Mayor Behrman
and the commercial, industrial,
agricultural, and financial inter-I
ests Of the state on the other1
have been able to reach an
agreement satisfactory to I'll, is |
considered here - opening the|

Coney lsland's Start.

The first man to realize the great
possibilities of Coney Island as sum-
mer resort was Austin Corbin, a bank
er and railway official. From the be-
ginning Of the last century the beach
at Coney Island was frequented by
many New Workers, but it remained
for Corbin to initiate the movement
which has made "Coney" a synonym
for a certain kind of amusement. Cor
bin started his financial career at Dav-
export, Ia, but in 1865 he opened a
banking house In New York, and in
1873 he purchased the eastern part Of
Coney Island. There he created the
great resort known as Manhattan
Beach. He also became president Of
the Long Island railroad and played a
big part in the development of all the
summer resorts on Long Island. In
the last forty years Coney Island has
become the greatest popular summer
resort in the world, and in addition to
the millions Of transient visitors from
the city who go there for the day
many thousands are regular summer
residents of the hotels and cottages
which line its shores. II New York

Old English Furniture.

That fine old furniture Is yet found
In Great Britain In many unexpected
places Is said to be largely due to the
stirring up Of the country that was
given by the greab exhibition at Lon
don OF 1851. This was soon after the
development Of the railway system In
England. and there f1ocked to London
a large number Of squires and their
wives. A new world had opened to the
country d7nes. The new things had a
wonderful fascination for them. On
returning home they got rid Of much Of
their old furniture and bought new.
Much Of the old furniture found its
way to secondhand shops and was
sold to poor folk who could not afford
to buy new. This accounts for the
finding today of much good old furni-
ture In small houses In provincial towns
and among country peopls.-Indianapo-
