SHE WAS KILLED. - Much the

deeds may have been done by one
having but little education, or by one
r having what is called a fine univer-
sity education-and the whole coun-
try is shocked at the awful crime
shocked, did you say? Not bit of
it, for the thing continues to go mer-
rily on and very little of a really
practical nature done to stop it.
Those few who have done some

of much-needed but sadly neglected

THE WORKERS MONEY. - If
statistics were available showing the
millions of dollars of the laboring
peoples money paid into the great
life insurance companies and invest
ed by those companies in industrial
securities, i. e., railroad stocks, ETC.,
the working class would realize that
while it fights for higher wages it
has opposed to it the concentrated
savings of the working class.
The opposition of the large insur-
ance companies in the recent rail-
road controversy was a considerable
factor in the defeat of the railroad
men. And what are the life insur-
ance companies but wielders of the
combined savings of the working
class.
Americans put stop to the ship

being used against the American
troops.

wiah Refiners-Our special telegram
from Washington, D. C., September g.
1917, is as follows: While the fact
has not been officially announced, it
still is true that at their conference
with Mr.. Hoover yesterday the sugar
refiners promised to make an effort
TO refine sugar for 1.35C, which
would enable them to meet the beet
rate of 7.25c in case Cuban sugar can
be obtained for sc or less and the
duty remain at one cent. They gave
notice, however, that they might have
to ask for a rate of l.30c for refining
Some of the Louisiana raw sugar
manufacturers expressed a determin
alton to meet the situation by clari
flying their own products.
The president is expected to issue
his licensing proclamation within the
next few days 1t will include all
sugar manufacturers.

The Onomea Plantation finished its
grind last Wednesday, the crop net
ting 21O6O tons which comes close to
the record crop of 1915 when Fl 1923
tons was the result. The present
crop, however, is well over the crop
of last year when the figures were
1872 tons.
The Pepeekeo plantation has not
been able to complete it's harvest oW-
ing to lack of water, due to dry
weather. Reports received at G. Brew
er & Co. offices this morning stated
that the past week had been the
worst on record in years. No estimate
of the 1918 crops has yet been made
and it will be some time before the
figures will be on hand owing to the
fact that the plantation managers will
await the end Of the dry spell before
computing the losses.

question. The voluntary maximum

manufacturers at Use for beet gran
ulated naturally checked the demand
for cane, as it Of course was expected
that some agreement or regulation
would be made between the govern
nent and the cane retiners. and while
the refiners agreed to make a volun-
tary maximum price, they requested
that such action be deferred until
after the passage Of the War Revenue
bill, when the refiners will be able 20
determine what taxes they will have
to pay. Furthermore, a committee

The reply of J Austen Chamberlain, secretary for India, to deputation representing all sections of the Lan- cashire cotton industry today, seemed to imply that the government intended to stand fast by it's decision, in which case there would be a straight fight be- tween the protectionists and free traders in Parliament and at the mo ment it is impossible to foresee the re- suit, the ordinary cleavages disturbed by the war.
 Mir. Chamberlain appealed to the Lancashire deputation, saying that Indias financial assistance in the war is needed and that the members ought in spirit of patriotism waive their objections to the cotton duties, which were required to enable India to meet the interest on the war loan Admit ting his wish to see that the matter revised at the termination of the war. the secretary said:
 T should not be candid if I left you under any misapprehension re- garding the attitude of myself and the government. To reverse this de-

New Castle Ind March 12The city of New Castle, which swept by tornado late Sunday afternoon settled down tonight to another night of chill and darkness with National Guardsmen patrong the streets Arrangements had been for practically all the homeless churches schools lodge rooms public halls and dwellings having been thrown open to them, but suffering in many intense.
 The death showed 20 dead persons missing and about seriously injured with hundred suffering from hurts No bodies had been found in the ruins late today but of the injured died in hospitals
 Many relief funds have been started in different cities
 Funeral arrangements had been made tonight most the day had been spent searching the for bodies Plans which probably will include public service for all the dead, will be started tomorrow.

 MT. Chamber1ains reply seems to leave no loophole for retreat on the part of the government and should the free traders. with the Lancashire mem bers and the whole body of national ists. be able to muster sufficient forces 1t is not impossible that the division might result in the defeat of the gov ernment, leading to a general election.
 The Lloyd George administration is so largely unionist in composition that 1t is< viewed with great suspicion by the older liberals, especially with re- gard to the question of tariff and im- perial preference.
 The Lancashire party contends that the imposition of these duties is breach of the understanding that nothing of the kind should be dons until after the war and that the du- ties will seriously injure not only the Lancashire trade but Great Britain's ally, Japan. What attitude ex-Premier Asquith will adopt toward the duties Is still unknown but a large body ct liberals will follow his leads. Tn its present stage neither the government nor Lancashire party Is inclined to listen to any compromise.

 ''The House organization" said MT Mann, lis not matter of trading. It should not be case of figuring on some partisan advantage. I do not propose to have it said if can prevent it that the republicans have adopted anything in the nature of sharp practice in order to elect me speaker.
 Tt is not improbable that there will be bipartisan organization of the House. but do not think 1t is pos- sible to determine whether there will be one until there shall have been a test of strength and both sides have had a vote on the subject of organization. In view of the international complications and the fact that neither party will have a majority in the House there necessarily will have to be some bipartisan under standing in the House after organization is effected, if not before it is effected It would be ridiculous to suppose that such body of men in matters of inl- pcrtant legislation would permit them selves to be controlled by the mere whim or caprice of few men who call them selves sSindependents.
 Mir. Mann added that 1t was possible, though not altogether probable, that Con gi ess might end its extra session in two weeks. Speaker Clark said tonight, how ever, that he thought the chances fla vored session of about six weeks and was convinced that the stay of Congress would be either short or very long.

DEMOCRATS IA V LEAD AGAIN w
 LOWER HOUSE

Washington, March 12-Despite many discussion of many proposals for work ing out democratic, republican or bi- partisan control of the incoming House of Representatives there are few signs that the plans of either of the big par ties or the little group of independents will take definite form until within a few days of the meeting of the special session on April IS.
 Most of the members have left the cap ital with uncertainties surrounding plans for filling vacancies and the selection Of speaker undetermined.
 The fluctuating stands of the parties presented tonight the prospect that the democrats will have 2l5 votes and the republicans 214 when the special session convenes. It, will require 21S to elect a speaker The five so-called independ- ents holding the balance of power have been unable so far to agree on con- certed Course, but they will meet again just before the beginning of the session.
 In order to keep their strength up to 215, the democrats will have to elect a democrat in the Fifteenth New York district where a special election is to he held April 12 to choose successor to the late Representative Conry. It generally is conceded, however, that the strong Tammany element there will have nc difficulty in returning a democratic majority. The hopes of republicans that a republican might be elected in New Hampshire to succeed the late Repre- sentative Subway bringing the repub- lican total up to 2l5. disappeared today when 1t was discovered state statute would not permit an election before April 1A

pending the outcome of the defiance of the submarine menace by American vessels with naval guns and gunners on board.
 Speculation continues as to the part the United States may play if forced into actual hostilities by Germany. In official quarters the opinion is very clear that President Wilson for the present, at least, is contemplating no more direction in connection with the European war than is necessary to protect American rights on the high seas Preparations for any eventual- ity are going forward but the Pres- dent Is known still to cling to the hope that there will be no actual clash between Americas armed mer- chantmen and German submarines.
 The President. who has been con- fined to his bed for several days by a cold, was able today to discuss in- ternational questions with Secretary Lansing. He probably will be in his room for a day or two longer, how ever, and the. usual cabinet meeting tomorrow is expected to be cancelled.
