Shipped 11O,356 Tons.

That, says the food administrators
is the cause of the sugar shortage
and nothing else"
The statement says the food admin
istration has handled the situation
with a view to sustaining the morale
of France and England, where the
sugar ration has been extremely low
for months, and at the same time pre-
venting a jump in price to 20 or IS
cents here.
Since the food administration was
created in August the United States
has exported to the allies 11G35S tons
OF refined sugar and in the same
period Cuba has shipped to Europe
346,133 tons of raw product. This, it
Is declared, is just the amount of the
shortage in the United States.
The shortage. the food administrator
declares, will continue during the next
year. as 1t is the duty of the United
states to continue to feed the allies
If statements that there will be an
abundance of sugar next year are be-
l1eved by the American public 1t will
do this country's war efforts incalcu-
liable HARM Mr.. Hoover says
Charges that the food administration
has permitted sugar stocks to remain
in parts of the country unmoveds are
denied, as are statements that sugar
was left in Cuba while an effort was
made TO beat down Cuban prices.
Mr.. Hoover holds out the hope that
sugar will be about one cent a pound
cheaper next year than at present.

Prevented High Prices.

In his statement Mr. Hover says the
sugar shortage In America Is due solely
to heavy shipments from the western
hemisphere to Europe and asserts that
had not the price been regulated by
agreement sugar today would be selling
at from % to 80 cents a pound, and
that by this time more than $500, ,000, 900
would have been prof1tcered out of the
pockets of the American people
Charges before the Senate committee
by Claus Spreckels that the sugar sit
uation was mismanaged are answered
and the statement sets forth in detail
the food administrations effort to keep
the price of sugar down and at the
same time to assure an adequate sup
ply for shipment to Americas allies
in Europe.
At the outset the statement presents
the world situation as it existed prior
to the European war. The allies then
produced much of their own supplies
and purchased the remainder from
Germany Before the war they took
only 100000 tons annually from the
western hemisphere. This year they
have taken 1,f000 900 tons.

What Responsibility Does.

The saying runs that as soon as a
lieutenant is made commander he be-
gins to carry stick, and as soon as
commander becomes a captain he
turns religious" For justification Of
the latter part of this assertion there
exists the undoubted fact that naval
captains are mostly serious minded
men who give some thought to the
greater things of life. Possibly their
hours of loneliness may conduce to this
frame of mind, though for the most
part their leisure hours are given up to
study of matters connected with their
calling. One well-known captain there
was who used to hold prayer meetings,
which any member of the ships COM
pany could attend. Remember there
are no rates to be picked up here" the
captain would warn them before the
meetings started, meaning that any
one who came there hoping to curry
favor and thus get promotion would
be disappointed. And in this the cap
tain was always as good as his word.

Murder Trial for
Chauffeur Whose
Car Killed a Man

NEW YORK, Feb. 10.-Murder in the
first degree for killing a man by run
ming him down in an automobile was
the charge on which Rollins Tian, 20
years old, was brought Il trial here to-
day, in the first case of it's kind that
has reached the local courts. Tian was
formerly chauffeur for Miss Jane Pc
terson, an artist.
The killing himself was not held to
constitute first degree murder, but 1t
became a capital crime, the state al
legged. owing to the fact that Tian used
the machine without his employers
permission. An element of theft was
involved which, according to the proseE
cution made Tian's act of killing muir
der and not merely manslaughter.

SENATE SUBSTITUTE TO
ADAMSON LAW REPORTED
Gives President Right to Take
Over Railroads and TeIe-
graphs in Time of War

WASHINGTON, Feb. 11.-After many
weeks consideration, the senate inter-
state commerce committee today ap-
proved and reported to the senate a bill
to supplement the Adamson railroad law
providing for Investigation of controver-
sizes on common carriers and giving the
president authority to take over rail
road, telegraph and telephone lines in
times of military necessity.
There is no prohibition in the measure
against the right to strike or lockout to
which the railroad brotherhoods have
vigorously objected, but there is a pro-
vision to prevent obstruction of the mails
or of interstate commerce.
EXPECTED TO SUIT PRESIDENT.
Chairman Newlands expects to call The
bill up as soon as possible. 1t is much
like that introduced in the house earlier
in the week and may be passed at the
present session. 1t is expected to meet
the views of the administration since
it has become apparent that more
stringent bill virtually would have no
chance of getting through before adj
journment.
Under the terms of the bill, when the
present federal mediation and concilia-
ton board fails to settle railroad la
Dor controversy, the president shall en-
representative of the carriers and one
of the men. The enlarged boards report
shall be made within three months and
contain recommendations according to
the merits and substantial justice of the
case" which shall be published.
The prohibition section makes at a
misdemeanor, punishable with six
months imprisonment, for any person
who knowingly and wiifuny, by physical
force, or threats or intimidation" OBJ
structs or retards the passage of the
United states mail OF the orderly move
ment of interstate OF foreign commerce,
or the makeup OF disposition of any
train.
PROVIDES WAR MEASURE.
The military necessity section pro-
vides that in case Of actual or threat
ened war. instruction or invasion, or
any emergency requiring the transporta-
ton of troops, military equipment and
supplies of the United States" the presi-
dent, when the public safety requires.
may take possession of necessary part
of telegraph ana telephone lines and
railroads and draft their officers and
employees into the federal service. Any
damage sustained in this connection
would be assessed by the interstate COM
merce commission.
Any person refusing to be drafted or
who iinjures or destroys such property
or interferes with it's use when in fed
eral hands would be subject to five
years Imprisonment.

calm and good humor.
The Germans did not exhibit anger
or hatred. probably because they are
rather bored by such incidents. They
are not angry at the American people
but extremely angry at President VIII

wicked things. Not ten people in Ger

that he will get an important post in
