CASE LIKELY TO C00vER
Decision In La Toilette Custer
Proceedings Unlikely Soon.
To Be Taken Up at Once by Senate
Committee But Final Outcome
10 Uncertain.

Washington, Oct. 3.-The senate
committee on privileges and elections
will hold an executive session at once
to take up various petitions and de-
mands on the senate for the expulsion
Of Senator r. Nj. La Toilette, which
are being received in ever-increasing
numbers from all over the country by
Vice President Marshall and members
of the senate.
The calling Of the meeting was an
nounced by Chairman Atlee Pomerene,
who would give no statement as to
the manner In which the committee
will proceed. saying that was a mat.
ter for the members to determine.
Several Of the members of the com.
mittee are known to favor q resolution
OF expulsion while two or three are
known to be against such q resolution.
Recess Sessions Probable.
It appears that no action will be
taken by the committee at this session.
but it was considered possible that a
meeting would be called during the
recess of congress. 1t was reported
that Senator Kellogg. II the committee
does not take action. will offer a reso-
luton Of expulsion 20 the senate.
n such a resolution were offered II
would again go to the privileges and
elections committee. While leading
senators appear to believe nothing will
be done at this meeting. there Is new
ertheless a strong undercurrent OF
opinion favoring immediate action
That those who favor Senator La Fol
lette's expulsion will be able to force
the issue in the few remaining days
of the session is doubtful.

LINE IS N BALANCE
sermans Make Desperate Fight to
Hold Flanders acknowledgements
" Dread Next British Stroke
Counter Attacks Eail.

Washington. Oct 3.-Alarmed by
the success OF the Italian drive over
the Bainsizza plateau. Germany is
Withdrawing large numbers of Aus
TRAN troops from France and from
Galicia and Bukowina and rushing
them to the Italian front to meet tho
renewed offensive of General Cadorna.
Official dispatches received here from
Rome say the second phase Of the
great battle is about to open.
Try to Upset British Plans.
Although Berlin military writer's are
admitting that the Germans can hard
ly regain the initiative on the western
front. the German high command is
evidently doing its utmost to keep
the British from making the best use
of their advantage in Flanders.
Apparently dreading the effect of
the next British stroke, Crown Prince
Rupprecht has been launching attack
after attack upon Field Marshal Haig's
troops in an effort to disarrange the
British plans. Similar tactics were
adopted last week on the eve of tho
renewed British thrust.
Whole Line In Balance.
The record shows the effort of last
week to have been futile. It is too
early yet for the effect of the present
attempt to be developed. The British
commander, however, reports that the
attacks themselves, five in number,
we're complete failures.
With the whole German line in
Flanders hanging in the balance as
the military maps show small sur.
prise Is expressed that the German
command is making such desperate ef
forts to balk the British plans and is
fighting hard for every inch of ground
protecting the Lille-Ostend railway, a
scant six miles beyond the present
point OF the advancing British wedge
French Hold Positions.
On their front the French are per.
hitting the crown prince to hammer
away at their lines in attacks which
almost invariably are repulsed with
heavy losses.

MAKING SUGAR IN CUBA.
rhey Don't Refine Il There Because
They Say That Spoils t.


They Say That spoiIs t.
A visit to the famous Providencia
sugar mill is interesting, not only
on its own account, but because OF
the characteristic view of rural Cuna
which the trip affords.
The mill building is of concrete
and enormous. On entering the Wis
itor is greeted with the sight of vast
machinery on every hand and with
. most delicious and pervasive aro-
ma. The floor is caked and sticky
with the sugar spilled upon it.
The first stage in the progress Of
sugar making is the extraction Of
the strip from the cane. This is
done by means of immense steel
rollers, which squeeze the sap out
of the stalks exactly as clothes
wringer forces water from the
clothes that are fed to it. The sap
pours continually over the revolving
cylinders like lovely golden cat
aract, running off into trenches, by
which it is carried along devious
ways until it is emptied into the
straining apparatus.
After the straining comes the
boiling of the sap, the most essen
tial step in the entire process. Boil
ing prevents the fermentation which
is so quick to set in. This is &C.
complished in the first boiling; also
any germs contained in it are killed
by this process. The strip is boiled
three times and strained three
times.
The final process is the crystal
lization of the strip, whereby the
sugar crystals are separated from
the molasses, which is then reboiled
and recrystallized. The sugar then
extracted is called "molasses sugar
The capitalization is accomplished
by steam.
There is no refining process. The
raw sugar is shipped to the country
where it is to be consumed, and
there the retiners get hold Of it and
according to our Cuban guide, pro.
coed to spoil wholesome product
Any one who has sampled the origi-
nal will, am sure, agree with him.
at least so far as the flavor is con-
cerned.--Marvin Forster in Louis

Scandiravians Are Peculiar.

Many Scandinavians have a decid-
edly different anatomical construc-
ton from less hyperborean people.
In these hardy mortimer the layer
Of fat under the skin, Panniculus
adiposus, is somewhat seal-hke and
blubbery, something like in those
cold sea animals, the whale, seal and
walrus. Also the blood vessels in
this fat are somewhat overdeveloped
as in sea mammals. All this comes
about from exposure to the severi-
ties of disease and climate. II is no
unusual thing for Norwegians and
Swedes to stay in icy cold water for
hours hunting seaweed without suf-
fering sickness or discomfort.

 Tax Rate Is Raised.
 On motion of Alderman Stadler. the council voted to fix the tax rate at 20 3-4 mills, an increase of one-Quar- ter of g mill in the second zone over that recommended by the finance board. Councilman Curtis moved an amendment providing that the local solons at Hartford be asked to include in the charter amendments the right to borrow $11,50O and to pay it back in three equal annual miscellaneous. This would avoid the necessity of i'm creasing the tax rate. City Treasurer Chamberlain thought $11,5OO too small an item for city to borrow and Councilman May had a similar idea Councilman Landers also thought the proper procedure is to have the city meeting approve the amended tax rate.
 Propose Raise for Thompson.

FOOD SHORTAGE IN. BAVARIA

Minister of Interior Calls Attention to
 Deficiency of 90, 900 Tons in Food
 stufYs-Other Sections Worse on.
 London, March 29. 6:44 a. m.-A gloomy picture of the food situation in Bavaria is drawn by Minister of the Interior Brettreich in an address before the Landtag on Tuesday, &C., cording to a Berne despatch to Reu. as saying that the recent stock taking has shown that conditions were very serious and that there was a deficien- cy of 9O,000 tons in Bavarian bread stuffs. Conditions outside Bavaria, he said, were even more unfavorable.
 The minister said that it could be denied that during the war a certain friction has arisen between north and south Germany, chiefly due to the ad- ministration of the war. He said there were more than seventy diff ferent war organizations in Germany and that a greater consolidation would have been preferable. After predicting that the coming weeks would be very hard on the people he concluded:
 But we must hold out. If we lie down England will squeeze the blood out of our fingernails.5s VI Even if the war ended tomorrow the bitter weeks are not over. Only one thing is left to hold out"
