WILL BE 10 CENTS
THE WHOLESALE PRICE HERE.
TOFORE HAS BEEN
o CENTS

Washington, D. c., Oct. 22.-Steps
to prevent an abnormal increase in
the price of sugar because of the ex-
listing shortage have been taken by
the department of justice.
Attorney General Palmer notified
beet sugar refiners who have been
withholding their products from the
market until the price situation be-
came stabilized, that the United
States sugar equalization board haa
determined that 10 cents was fair
price to be charged the wholesalers
and that any charge in excess of that
amount would be regarded as viola
tion of the food control act.
Refiners were asked to te.aer1ph
their concurrence in this price, which
would mean that they would put
their supply on the market imme-
diately.
The price of the wholesaler here
tofore has been nine cents. Retail
ers have been allowed to charge IL
cents pound for controlled sugar
under the old prices. 1t is assumed
that the new retail increase would
be no greater than the wholesale ad
vance.

RATIFICATION
NOT TO AID IN CARRYING OUT
PROVISIONS OF PEACE
TREATY

Washington, d c., Oct. 22.-Tak
ing notice of reports that the United
States might aid in carrying out pro-
visions of the peace treaty in advance
of the treaty's ratification by the SEN
ate, the administration has an
nounced that American and diplo
matte and military participation in
certain of these provisions must wal
until the senate has acted.
At the state department it was de.
clared this government would not
accept the invitation of the supreme
council at Versailles to take a place
Immediately on the international
commissions set up by the treaty, and
at the war department it was made
clear that no American troops would
be used with out senate sanction to
police districts where the treaty pro-
vides for plebiscites under the mill
tary supervision of the great pow
ers.
The two announcements were made
simultaneously and generally were
accepted in the senate, where the pos.
sibility of premature American par
ticipation in the treaty has been one
of the storm centers of criticism
amounting to an administration dec
laration of policy on the subject.

into the muzzles Of two revoivers.
The street light at the corner where

This fact aided the highwaymen in

MADISON ELECTRIC
light PLANT
SOME PRESENT INCONVENIENCE
WHICH WILL BE SOON
OVERCOME

Engineer Shaldak of the power
house and his assistant are awaiting
the arrival of a new piston head that
ought to be here either today or to-
morrow. Until it comes il will be
necessary to depend on the normal
plant for both power and light, in
adequate though both are. The large
Diesel engine is being thoroughly
overhauled and so far no other de-
fects have been found. Another
250-h. p. Diesel is due to arrive from
the Busch-Sulzer works at ST. Louis
on or about November Is. The mat
ter of installing it may take two
or three weeks after it arrives and
is in place. Any way, after ii is in
place and connected up, this city is
and power it needs. The shutdown
last Monday was a serious inconye-
nience to many motor users and it is
hoped that when the big engine is
again put in working order no more
trouble will be experienced. Excava-
tion at the plant is now under way
for the construction of engine bases.
The most difficult work to be under
taken is the removal of the three
massive gas producer engines whose
bolts and parts are rusty and set
tight. They are being junked, but
the job is necessarily slow, since
cranes are needed for hosting them
out of their positions. An attempt
to load them on flat cars was aban-
doned because of a lack of proper
equipment with which to handle
them. r. Billingsley. who has the
contract for the erection of the new
building, hopes to start the work OF
building very soon. Some slight
modification has been made with re-
spect to the material entering into
the construction of the proposed elec-
trio light building. The accepted
plans originally called for a cement
and steel structure. Owing to the
shortage of cement the building will
now be erected from brick and trus:
steel, but having the same design al
first intended, or nearly SO.
