LEGISLATION TO
CURB PRICE OF
SUGAR NECESSARY
Immediate Jump After jan
uary l Certain Unless
Laws Enacted to Hold
Price Down

Washington October 3.-Told by
George Az Zabriskie, president of the
sugar equalization board, it was prac-
tically certain that unless some legisla-
tive action was taken Immediately
sugar prices would increase after Janu-
airy / the Senate committee investigat-
ing the sugar shortage today requested
W. A. Glasgow, counsel for the food ad-
ministration, to formulate legislation
designed to alleviate the situation and
to make possible negotiations for pur-
chase Of the 1920 Cuban sugar crop.
The committee made it's request aft
err Mr. Zabrieskie had testified that de-
spite urging by the sugar equlizatiop
board President Wilson had failed to
authorize purchase of the Cuban crop
and after he, at Chairman McNary' 5
insistence, had presented his cores
pondence with the President. The Gu
ban government withdrew it's offer of
the sugar crop September 90. Zabries-
kie said. He added however, that
means might yet be found to obtain
the Cuban sugar if Legislative action
could be had Immediately.
1t would be necessary. also, he said
to make provision for continue ton OF
the sugar equalization board which
automatically goes out of existence De-
cember 81.
The present sugar shortage, the board
said, was due to some extent to the
recent marine strike, but more largely
to the unusual demand, the American
people having consumed 100000 tons
more of sugar UP to October l than
normally.
Prohibition was suggested as the
principal cause since those accustomed
to alcoholic drinks had turned to soft
drinks, candies and CONNECTIONS
Mr.. Zabrieskie told the committee
too much alarm should not be created
by the situation since the proportion
ate Increase in the price of sugar has
not been nearly as great as that OF
other commodities

LITTLE LEE THANDER
ALLOWS THREE HITS
Fisher Pitched Well, But
Errs i'm Pinch-Duncan
Gets His Hit
BY Associated Press


Chicago, October 3.--The
Chicago White Sox today
served emphatic notice that
they were still in the worlds
championship contest by de-
feating Cincinnati 3 to 0.
The series now stands Gin
cinnati 2, Chicago /. Six more
games are possible.
Dick Kerr, who in his younger days
was something of a boxer as well as a
ball player in St Louis, and who came
to the Sox from Milwaukee, pitched I'M
beatable ball, allowing but three scat
tered hits and but one pass to first.
Kerr's home is a Paris, Texas, and he
first played professional baseball at
Paragould, Ark.
He made everybody sit up and look
at him today for his left wing contain
ed more mysteries than sphynx. Dun
can, Kopf, Fisher, the Cincinnati
pitcher, who also hurled good game,
were the only Reds to obtain bingles
off the Texan. while his sole compli-
mentary passage to first was granted
to Groh None of these Athletes ever
reached third.
Twenty nine thousand persons in
Guiding band of rooters from Cincin-
natl saw the game, which was played
beneath a bright sun in temperature
which was ideal. There was scarcely
breeze enough to straighten the flags
which floated from nnumerable stats.
After the trouncing which the Ameri-
can 1eaguers received at Cincinnati,
Manager Gleason felt particularly grGti-
fled that his team was the first TO
score a shutout There were few
vacant seats in the left field bleachers
probably due to the belief on the part
of many that obtaining seats would en-
tail too great struggle Ground
rules were unnecessary as the playing
field everywhere was clear save just
off the first and third base foul lines.
FISHER DID WELL
Fisher, who was Moran's choice for
today, was the first right handler Of
fgered by the Reds, the first two games
having been won by Ruether and Sal
lee both southpaws. Fishers hurting
was as good as that Of either of his
team mates but one run at least is
necessary TO win a game, and little
Kerr had none to spare today.
Fisher allowed seven hits and is
sued two passes. Two of the Sox runs,
however. were irregular largely
chargeable to the Red pitcher, for it
was while his wild heave to catch a
runner at second was being retrieved
that the first two Sox players were
put in a position to score and Gandil
drove them across the rubber moment
later.
Despite the loss of the two games at
i Cincinnati, the local enthusiasts were
confident that on the home grounds
the Sox would exhibit the kind of ball
that won them the leadership of their
league There was confidence, too, in
the attitude of the players themselves,
but no more than that displayed by the

In enforcing their rest prescription
the physicians attending the President
are particularly concerned about his
sleeplessness. This Is understood to
be connected with after-effects Of the
influenza attack.
Since the President came home iii
there have been many reports that a
simple operation might be performed
to ward off complications. but his ply

SHARP ATTACK ON
PRESIDENT WILSON
|. MADE BY JONES IN
TREATYD|SCUSS|0N
Senate to. Rest Till Monday
When Debate Will Likely
Turn to Treaty Provi-
siOns Awarding Shan
tung to Japan
BY Associated Press

Washington, October g.
After a three-hour discussion
of the peace treaty, the domi-
nant note of which was sharp
attack on President Wilson, the
Senate late today decided on a
breathing SPELL until Monday,
with indications that the debate
soon would embrace the provi-
sions under which the Chinese
province of Shantung was
awarded to Japan.
The attack on the President was made
by Senator Jones, republican, Of Wash
ington, who had expected to speak two
days ago. In charging that the Presi-
dent had done more to undermine or
derby government than any other
agency" Senator Jones declared the
attempt to coerce" the Senate into
ratifying the treaty until amended or
without reservations "embodies the
spirit of the mob and justified lawless-
ness"
The Presidents friends should tell
him plainly and bluntly and promptly
that the treaty has no chance of rati-
ficaton in its present form. said the
senator, who added and they will do
SO when he is able to receive it,
Senator Thomas, democrat of Colora-
do. discussed the amendment of Sena-
tor Johnson, republican. of California,
designed to equalize the voting power
of the United States and Great Brit
AIM
OPPOSES CHANGE
He opposed this change in the league
of nations covenant as proposed by Sem
ator johnson, he said. because the same
point was covered in the Mc-umber res
ervation for which he would vote.
Senators McCumber, North Dakota.
and Lenroot. Wisconsin, republicans
and King, democrat. Utah, spoke brief
ly, Senator McCumber announcing that
he would later undertake to show how
much gross transformation" had been
spread concerning the British Am erican
voting proposition. While not willing
to vote for the treaty without reser-
vations, Senator Thomas said he could
see no great danger to this country
through the distribution of votes in the
league assembly.
The institutions Of the United States
harmonic so thoroughly with those OF
Canada, New Zealand and other British
lands" he declared, that in all prob
ability the representatives of each will
be found more frequently acting to-
gether than in opposition to each other
in the assembly. The only difference
between the American and the Cana
dian is that one pays tribute to the
British crown" Ht
FEARS british CONTROL

however, Senator Thomas pointed out
that Great Britain, inclusive of her
colonies, would have "a votes, against
