PREVENT A NEW
SUGAR SHORTAGE
The Government AllOts The
New Cuban Crop At Nine
Cents Per Pound
Omitted Press Service)

WASHINGTON, December 49,
Federal and refining agencies engag-
ed in meeting the demand for sugar
are looking forward within the next
-four or five weeks, of the first con-
'signments of the new Cuban sugar
crop. Approximately $4,000 tons
are expected to reach the Atlantic
'seaboard about the end of December
and will give material relief to the
situation. Meanwhile 10000 tons
are being "1oaned" to the Feast from
central sections of the country, where
for the time being, there is plenty of
sugar.
The Federal Government is watch
ing the distribution system closely.
The food situation has been placed in
the hands of the Attorney General
Many indictments have been brought
in various sections of the country
against profiteers. In Chicago 35
indictments have recently been re-
turned against dealers charged with
sugar profiteering.
To release large quantities of more
expensive grades of sugar the Govern
ment, through the Sugar EEqualia-
tion Board and the Department of
Justice has approved the lifting of the
price deadline at 101z cents a pound
in some sections, where the more ex-
pensive grades are available, when it
is shown that the public is willing to
pay more for them. These grades
include all but the Cuban sugar crop.
Cuban sugar has been allotted by the
government at cents pound. AL
lowing half a cent profit for the
wholesaler and cent profit for the
retailer the present price has been es-
tablished. The Java, Lou.Sana and
Brazilian crops have not been control
led, and being of more expensive
grade they have been bought in the
wholesale market principally by candy
and soft drink manufacturers who
have been willing to meet the price of
% cents per pound or more asked for
them.
Retail dealers will now be allowed
can be obtained-and charge the high
er price for them. But the Govern
ment will see that no more than the
prescribed profits are made on these
higher-priced grades. When sugar is
sold above the price for the Cuban
sugar record must be kept of the
sales and profit made. By permitting
the sales of these sugar grades at
higher prices the Government will en-
able the consumer who wants to pay
more to compete with the manufactu-
rers, and thus increase thedomestic
supply and in a measure reduce the
household sugar shortage.

WITH REGARDS TO
The GOVERNMENT
BUILDING SIT {
IN NOCALES, AR|z.
An Interesting Letter From
Senator Ashurst Touching
Upon A Matter OF Great
Importance

Recently Mr.. Charles V. Fowler was
appointed chairman of a committee of
the Young Business Mems Associa-
tion of Nogales to inquire into the
subject of a site for a federal build
ing in Nogales; and as there had been
afloat various statements, the COM
mittee named thought it best to start
bv going as close as possible to the
Treasury Department at Washington;
so the chairman of the committee
wrote Senator Ashurst requesting
him to take up the matter in the cor
rect quarter, and get the desired in
formation.
Mr.. Fowler's letter to the Senator
has brought the following reply:
Washington, D. C. Dec. IA, 1919
Mr.. Charles v. Fowler,
Chairman Business Mems Associa-
tion.
Nogales, Arizona.
My Dear Sir and Friend:
l have received your letter of
the 29th. ultimo. Your understand
ing of the matter is correct; the site
has been selected at the corner of
Court Street and Grand Avenue, and
some six thousand dollars additional
have been subscribed and guaranteed
by the citizens. The only thing that
is now holding it up is vhe fact that
che department has asked the rail-
road company to bid and the depart
ment states that in fairness they must
give the railroad company a reason
able time to do so before proceeding
to condemnation, and furthermore if
they should be compelled to resort to
condemnation, it would serve to delay
matters that much longer. So the
Department feels that all things con-
sidered the railroad should be given
reasonable length of tie to reply.
l trust this will cover your inquiry
and l might add that the department
assures me that everything will be
done that can possibly be done to ex-
oedite the matter.
Cordially Yours,
HENRY F. ASHURST

Of Death For
Military. 0ffenses
UNITED Press Service)


WASHINGTON, December 23,C
In no case was sentence of death
imposed on a soldier in the American
Army during the war for a purely
military ofense, according to the an
nual report of the Judge Advocate
General of the army. In all only
145 death sentences we're imposed and
of these 110 were committed or miti-
gated. Thirty-five men only were
executed during the war-10 in France
and 25 in the United States. In these
thirty-five cases the sentence was i'm
posed on men being found guilty of
murder in two cases murder land mu-
tiny in 10 cases; assault in II cases
and assault and murder in three.
These figures are for the entire per-
iod since April 6, 1917.
In all there were 16,547 persons
tried before general courrs-martial in
the fiscal year ending last June and
IS per cent of those tried were con-
victed. More than one-third of the
charges lodged against officers were
for drunkenness, absence without
leave and conduct unbecoming to an
officer. A heavy percentage of the
charges against enlisted men was de-
sertion, absence without leave and
sleeping on duty.
