HOOVER UNABLE
 TO PLACE VIEWS
 BEFORE COMMITTEE
tRepu6lican A. p. Leased Wircl

WASHINGTON, Dec. 23-F'ood Ad- n1inistrator Hoover was unsuccessful Saturday in his efforts to have his views of the sugar situation placed be- fore the senate Investigating commit tee before the Christmas recess. The, committe postponed his examination until next Friday and by formal vote refused his request to include in it's records a statement he had prepared.
 MT. Hoover declined to make the statement public, H. Curtis Lindley, chief counsel for the food administra- tion, explaining tonight that the admin istrator did not feel at this moment that he should give it to the press. Fur ther than to say that it covered the entire subject and acts of the food ad- minisration in connection with it, MT. Lindley did not discuss the statement. It is understood, however. that in it, Mr. Hoover takes issue with the testi- mony that there would be an ample supply of sugar next year.
 It had been informally announced Mr. Hoover would testify Saturday, but just before the committee assem- bled t was decided not to call him until after the Christmas recess. When his statement was offered a short time afterward, Chairman Reed said he did not see the necessity for including it in the record and the committee for mally voted to exclude it.
 Beet growers of western states were examined closely and then the com mittee adjourned over until Wednes- day when it plans to devote two days to investigation of the coal situation, with Fuel Administrator Garfield as the first witness.
 The beet growers testified that, un- less they were assured advanced prices for their beets next year there would be a serious shortage. Thomas L. WoOlwine, district attorney of Los An geles county. California, who is con- ducting a sugar inquiry before the Los Angeles county grand jury, said that beet growers of Southern California for the last five years have either lost money or not made enough to warrant them growing crops. The proposed contracts of all beet manufacturing companies in the western section are practically the same, he said, and added that the grand jury was conducting the Investigation to ascertain Ii there was ground for bringing cases against the refiners under the antitrust laws of California.
 It is proposed by the refiners, it was stated, to pay S7 a ton for beets next year, which is some advance over this years price but the growers believe a price of at least $10 should be paid if beet sugar sells at 7.25 cents a pound to wholesalers, the price agreed upon by the food administration for the out put this year. Wages and supply prices have all gone up, they main- tained.

money as the people want them to.

great responsibility lies here with

If the tax payers do not protest
with a strong petition against the
building of these three bridges at
your May meeting, go ahead, boys,

OPPOSES BRIDGES.
Former Supervisor Claims Bayou
Bridge Won't Stand.

Editor Reveille:
If you will allow me the space
will endeavor to point out feV
reasons why the Two Mile bridg
across Bayou Pierre should not b.
built
During the years 1894 and 1895
owing TO excessive freight rates
especially on cotton, on the Y. &
M. v. railroad, the merchants o
Of Port Gibson established wagor
line from that place to Grand Gulf
During the operation of this enter
|Nprise, there was great pressure
brought to bear on the tax payers
and the board of supervisors,
though not without considerable
opposition, to get bridge over
the bayou, resulting In the award
ing of the contract at the October
1895, meeting for SI2, ,925.
The high water the latter part
of January, 1896, caved the west
bank of the stream, and 1t was
considered advisable to erect al
additional span of 100 feet, the
contract being let to the lowest oi
Eve or six bidders for s., 600.
In addition, the board contract
ed with the same company to raise
the main span three feet and ado
ten feet to the depth of the tubes,
at cost of $1,000. This part OF
the work was under the supervIs-
ion of Mr.. Frank Englesing, a
competent civil engineer.
L made two inspections while
these tubes were going down; 9th

Mr.. Englesing was paid SITS
for his services, making a total oI

another short span was added.

An all-star duckpin quint represent
ing Martinsburg. w. Va, comes here
tonight to roll against George lse-
mann's Crescents, team picked from
the best of the local bowlers. AS
matter of fact. the same five that went
to Martinsburg a week ago to roll the
first five games of a ten-game match
will take the boards as representatives
of the best combinations developed on
the Washington alleys. The match will
begin at o'clock and take place at
the Grand Central
Pop HALEY will be lead-off man for
the local team and George Isemann is
to roll second. Goddard will be in the
third position. Harry Stanford fourth
and Johnny vaeth fifth. This combina-
ton. while possibly not quite as good as
might be picked, is strong enough to
give the best of duckpin quints all they
are looking for. The scores made by 1T
in the match at Martinsburg last week
surpassed any that ever had previously
been registered with the rubber banded
naples. After defeating Martinsburg
at the style of game rolled there, it is
only reasonable to suppose that the
Washingtonians will uphold their rep
utations under the conditions most ia
vorable to them.
