Sugar Refiners Back u. S. Suit
To Ban Speculation on Exchange

dept Of the American Sugar Refining
Company, which controls the Franklin

la. company produced 25 per cent of
the refined sugar used in the United
States.
Rehners Hit Exchange.
He said that in his opining the price
OF refined sugar to the consumers
was largely affected by the trans
actions Of the exchange. There was an
ample supply of refined sugar in the
country, he stated, and increase in
prices based on an assumed shortage
were unwarranted.
Similar affidavts were made by
President James H Post Of the Ma
tional Sugar Refining Company: B.
Atkins & Co., sugar dealers: William j.
Jameson Of Arbuckle Brothers: Vice
President Pierce J. Smith OF the Fed
raj Sugar Refining Company. and
number of the large chain stores and
wholesale grocers.
The defendants in their answer as
serted that the purchase of sugar for
future delivery upon the exchange is
& distinct benefit to all producers and
consumers and to persons engaged in
commerce in sugar and to the public
in general. in that It enables carriers
Of sugar to protect themselves against
price fluctuations by the making Of
neQSlnS contracts OH the exchange.
The rules and practice of the eX-
change forbid fictitious or paper

do not legally involve the obligation
to deliver the subject of the contracts
and are intended to and do prevent
the operation of any corner or ma

tions contained in the governments

was sufficient economic justification
! for the rise in sugar prices durin 6

INFANTRY REDUCED
BY REAUGNMENT
Cavalry, Field Artillery and
Aviation Forces Are
Slightly Increased.

The War Department has virtually
completed reallotment Of the $4,000
enlisted men in it's service with the
result that the strength Of infantry
units have been decreased and those
Of the cavalry increased.
Infantry, previously allowed 4s.0o1
of the 125.000 men. is now but 46.435.
In recommending this cut the general
staff pointed out that the national
be depended upon to swell that
branch in an emergency.
Cavalry Increased.
Cavalry. formerly allowed S.7S'
men, was increased to 9,S71. This in
crease was made on the basis that
cavalry requires a longer training
period and because many of the
states have not included cavalry
troops in their guard organizations be-
cause of the expense entailed.
Field artillery was increased from
16.164 men to 1911. largely for the
same reasons as those considered in
while the coast artillery was reduced
from 1906 to 12.O26.
The air service was given the
largest increase Of any branch. Its
and the expensive upkeep caused an
increase Of LIZA men to be allowed
The air force was held to be one Of
the highest specialized branches, re-
quiring long training and without
any outside source for expansion in
an emergency.
The Engineer Corps dropped from
5.242 to 5020, the Quartermaster
Corps from s.7S7 to 5000. the chem
ical warfare service from 524 to 445
and the allowance of men allotted to
duties assignable under the detached
enlisted mems list from 5000 to

Ordnance was increased from 1866

BY the ASSOClAtfu DreN.
NEW YORK. May 1.-Hearing Of
the governments application for a
temporary Injunction to restrain raw
sugar futures trading on the New
York Coffee and Sugar Exchange was
adjourned until May z, after the gov
ernment had presented arguments to
sustain It's petition and filed mass
of documents and affidavits yester-
day.
The exchange, its clearing associa-
ton and the twenty-three past and
present officers and members who
have been subpoenaed took no action
in the proceedings except to file an
answer to the governments petition
denying the charge that the trans
actions on the exchange constitute
conspiracy in restraint OF trade. In
violation of the Sherman antitrust
law.
Only 300 Tons Delivered.
Assistant Attorney General A. T. Sey-
mour and Special Assistant J. A. Fowler.
in presenting the governments case,
asserted that since February Z an orgy
of speculation has been INDUCED in
through the fundamentally of the ex-
change and its clearing association. and
that enormous quantities OF raw sugar.
more than the total stocks then In exist
ence, have been the subject Of fictitious
or paper sales. The result. they said.
was that the price Of raw and refined
sugars had been increased more than
2 cents a pound to the consumers.
Only 800 Tons Delivered.
Mr. Seymour in his argument pre-
sented affidavits from the Massachu-
setts legislative committee which re-
Gently Investigated the high price OF
sugar. 1t was confirmed. he stated.
that the ten sugar refining companies
operating fifteen refinerieS on the At
lantic coast and two On the Pacific
coast purchased little. If any, of their
raw sugars through the exchange.
There was no economic necessity for
the exchange as operated at present
he declared. Figures were submitted
to show that out OF more than 1.5I0.-
900 tons of raw sugars bought and
sold on the exchange during Febru-
ary only 800 tons had actually been
delivered. The rest Of the transac-

through the exchanges clearing as

HOW DOCTORS
TREAT COLDS
AND THE FLU
First Step in Treatment Is a
Brisk Purgative With Cal
otabs, the Purified and Re-
fined Calomel Tablets that
Are Nausealess, Safe and
Sure.

Doctors have found by experience
that no medicine for colds, coughs, sore
throat, and influenza can be depended
upon for full effectiveness until the
liver is made thoroughly active. That
is why the first step in the treatment
is the new, nausealess calomel tablets
called Calotabe, which are free from the
sickening and weakening effects of the
old style calomel. Doctors also point
out the fact that an active liver may
go long way towards preventing influ-
enza and colds and is one of the most
important factors in enabling the pa
tient to successfully withstand an at
tack and ward off pneumonia.
One or two Calotabs on the tongue
at bed time. with a swallow of water
that's all. No salts, no nausea nor the
slightest interference with your eating.

OUCH! RUB BACKACHE,
STIFFNESS, LUMBAGO

Back hurts you? Can't straighten
up without sudden pain, sharp aches
and twinges? Now listen. That's
lumbago. sciatica, or maybe from a
strain, and you'll get relief the moment
you rub your back with soothing, pene-
trating st. Jacobs Oil. Nothing else
takes out soreness. lameness and stiff
ness so quickly. You simply rub it on
your back, and out comes the pain. 1t
is harmless, and doesn't burn the skin.
Timber up! Don't suffer! Get a
small trial bottle of old, honest St.
Jacobs Oil from any drug store, and
after using it just once you'll forget
that you ever had backache, lumbago
or sciatica, because your back will never
hurt, or cause any more misery. II
never disappoints, and has been recon-
mended for 60 years.

CONSERVATION LAWS LIKELY

Members of the joint legislative
committee are reported to have been
impressed with suggestions made by
jefferson county sportsmen who re-
Gently entertained them at Camp
Oliver. These suggestions were for
effective laws with proper enforce
ment facilities for protection of the
wild life of the state. Not only fish,
but game, including waterfowl, were
embraced in the recommendations,
and the movement was so set forth in
its scope as to become a statewide
conservation measure.
This sentiment for the protection
and propagation of one of the states
largest and most valuable assets is
steadily increasing, and promises con-
structive results that are we'll worth
while. The influence of the many or
ganized clubs is already manifest, and
there seems no doubt that not only
fish culture, but proper protection of
wild life in Alabama, will be provided
by the summer session of the legisla-
ture. The conservationists are max
ing no unreasonable demands or re-
quests. They simply want to safe
guard the states native wild life from
destruction. The sum of twenty-five
thousand dollars, of the nearly one
hundred and fifty thousand accumu-
lated by the conservation department,
is asked with which to establish a
system of fish culture for restocking
purposes. The conservationists also
want the funds coming in from fines
paid by violators of the law to be
available for propagation and protec-
ton, while fishermen and hunters in
all parts of the state have expressed
their willingness for nominal license
to be applied to this purpose.
These plans and purposes are not
