U. S. SUGAR BROKERS
GOT SSOO.OOO BONUS
Cuban Planters Contributed the Fund
When America Acquired Control
of the Crop.

An agreement which consisted OF the
giving away Of $4,000 to American sugar
brokers by Cuban planters when tho
United States government acquired con
troll of the sugar output of Cuba, was dis
closed yesterday by Frank Moss in an az
fidavit filed with the Supreme Court Tn
providing so generously for the brokers.
the growers hoped to prevent the extermi-
nation Of tho latter before normal condi-
tons are restored
Mr.. Moss appeared az attorney for James
II. Post and other members OF the Conn
mission on Compensation to Brokers, who
are being sued by Arthur Fl. Lamborn. of
No. 1S2 Front street. one of the bene-,
ficiaries Of the fund. Mr.. Lamborn reS
ceived $3.s47, but insists his share should
have been at least SIS 900 more in view Of
the prospective commissions he lost when
the crop passed into the control of this
government. He alleged the fund had been
improperly distributed as the award had
excluded brokers with offices in Cuba
Mr.. Moss applied to the Supreme Court
for the appointment OF a commission 10
take the testimony of Robert B. Hawley,
president of the Cuban American Sugar
Company. and Manuel Rionda represents
tive of the Cuban planters, for use at the
coming trial. In explaining the nature of
the action Mr.. Moss said
1.-The entire arrangement to pay the
brokers who were temporarily put out of
business by having no sugar to sell. was
a novel one. 1t amounted to a bonns by
the sugar growers of Cuba to the brokers
of upwards OF $4,000 without requiring
the rendition of any services. simply to
keep the brokers from determination by
war measures"
Should the plaintiff be successful In
having a redistribution OF the $300, 600, Mr.
Post declares the situation will become
more novel as it is likely that Mr.
Lamborn will discover a greater number
of brokers are entitled to participate in
the fund. II the Cuban brokers are in
cluded in the allotment then it is possible
that Mr.. Lamborn's share will be mate
rally reduced. the defendants declare
Under anarrangement made with the
Cuban government, the growers con-
sented to levy of one-eighth of one
per cent on all sugar exported from Cuba
to the United States, for the purpose of
creating the bonus fund OF $4,000

FIRMER MARKET
FOR HOG PRODUCTS
Packers Believed Against Advance
Receipts for Day Total
$4,000.

The market for hog products was firmer
owing to an advance in the price Of live
hogs and in sympathy with the action of
grain Packers were believed TO be against
an advance. but they sold comparatively
little and offers were readily absorbed.
The export outlook was not considered very
favorable on account of the situation and the
weakness in foreign exchange, but the fact that
hogs continued to advance in the face of liberal
receipts encouraged a fairly active buying move
meut through commission houses. Receipts OF hogs
at Western points for the day were 151 900, in

Senator Hardinu's Manner,

! Mitchell Republican: Be it said to
Senator Harding's credit that he has
conducted himself in much more
dignified manner, while on the stump,
than his principal opponent, Governor
Cox has been too much inclined to en-
gage in sarcastic filings at Senator
Harding, his record and his speeches.
The republican candidate is virtually
ignoring Governor Cox. He has been
devoting himself very largely to dis
cussions of constructive programs for
a better country. He has impressed
us as one who is feeling more and
more the responsibilities Of the office
to which he is nominated. He re-
fuses to be stampeded in any direction
and talks like one who has an open
mind for the consideration of either
grievances or suggestions. If he sue
ceeds in developing that mental atti-
tude and maintaining it, he will go far
toward qualifying for the great Office
to which he will soon be elected.

JAPANESE ARE
TAKING STEPS
Corporations Formed With Belief
That They Cannot be Attacked
if California Passes
Proposed Law.

UNITED Press Leased Wire Service. ]
SAN FRANCISCO, Oct 16-With
the California campaign for the pass
age of anti-Japanese legislation grow
ing more intense today, Japanese
were reported as rushing efforts to
fortify their interests against attack.
Seven Japanese concerns filed
articles of incorporation yesterday.
Four were filed the day before. Japa-
nese believe that corporations formed
now cannot be attacked if the voters
pass the measure forbidding them to
hold land through ownership or lease
either directly or through corpora
tons.
While this was going on, Senator
James D. Phelan. campaigning for re-
election under the slogan of keep
California white" was making
charges that the Japanese are at
tempting to secure control of valu.
able land in the Philippine islands.

is CANDIDATE
FOR GOVERNOR
Arthur M. Hyde Speaks in kahoka
Before Large Crowd in Court
House in Republican
Campaign.

KAHOKA, Mo-, Oct. 16.-Arthur NJ
Hyde, republican candidate for gov
ernor, and Geo. e. HacRmann, repub-
lican candidate for state auditor, adj
dressed large crowd at the court
house in Kahoka Friday night. The
seating capacity of the house was
inadequate to accommodate the many
people who desired to see and hear
the candidate for governor of this
great commonwealth. All available
seating and standing space was occu-
pied, and many were turned away.
The distinguished guests were
brought to Kahoka by automobile
from Canton. where they addressed a
large crowd Friday afternoon.
County Chairman A. e. Ostrich
first introduced Mr.. Hackmann who
gave a splendid account of the serv-
ice he has rendered the people OF
Missouri as state auditor the past
three and one-half years. Mr.. Hack
mann, in his official capacity is a
member of the state board of equali-
cation.
This was the first time Mr.. Hyde,
although citizen of north Missouri,
had visited this section of the state.
He had been rated as one OF the
states most gifted orators. and he
more than made good The people
of Clark county have had the oppor-
tunity of hearing many fine orations.
but we are safe in saying that the
address Of Mr.. Hyde was as fine as
was ever delivered from Kahoka
Platform. The first portion of his
speech was devoted to state issues,
and more especially to the frauds
committed against honest elections in
the larger cities of the state. He
advocated fair and honest ballot
for all the people of the state, ire
spective of party or creed. He touch
ed on state finances and showed
wherein the people of Clark county
and the state had been piling up the
coin at Jefferson City by the mil
lions due to excessive and many
forms of extracting the money from
the people. The last legislature pass
ed some nine forms of raising money,
aside from the regular state taxes Of
eighteen cents on the 500. Mr.. Hyde
devoted the closing part of his adj
dress to the league OF nations. Mr..
Hyde made an eloquent plea for the
election of Warren G. Harding as
president Of the United States. 1t
was wonderful speech, an eloquent
speech forceful and logical expo
nent Of state and national issues, and
won for Mr. HYDE many new and
lasting friends From Kahoka, Messrs.
Hyde and Hackmann drove to Alex
andria where they took the train for
ST Louis and the big Harding meet
ing.
On Wednesday, October 20. Hon.
john G. Mckinley of Unionville, will
address the voters of Clark county.
He will speak at Wayland at $3.50 p.
m, and at Kahoka at 1880 p. m. Mr..
Mckinley is not stranger TO the
people of Clark county. He should
be greeted by a large audience.

The Passing of Bailey.

Cincinnati Times-Star: Joe Bailey
didn't come back. The returns from
the Texas primary election show that
the former senator was badly de-
feated by Pat Neff, It's too bad, in q
way. For there are few men in pub,
lie life of greater ability than Joe
Bailey, and none Of more picturesque
personality.
There was a time, about twenty
four years ago, that Joe Bailey re-
fused to wear 4 dress suit What
does a congressman who represents
a district Of a few thousand men and
several million head of cattle want
with a dress suit" queried Bailey.
when asked to a white house dinner
by Mckinley. But times changed and
so did Bailey He passed from the
house to the senate, and Texas began
to suspect that Policy was wearing
dress suit too often and had for
gotten some of his early Jeffersonian
principles. Evidently Texas still en-
tertains her suspicious.
