SUGAR QUOTAS CUT

TugWelI Announces Figures
for Cuba and Island
Possessions.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Allotment of 4, ,642 900 tons of sugar
which Cuba and island possessions OF
the United States will be allowed to
ship for the domestic market was an
nounced yesterday by Rexford G. Tug
well, acting Secretary OF Agriculture.
The quotas, totaling 100000 tons
less than President Roosevelt esti-
mated In his message to Congress on
the Jones' Costigan measure, were
Hawaii, $4,000 tons; Puerto Rico,
S03 900; Philippines, 1,015,000; Cuba,
100000, and Virgin Islands, 5000.
Secretary Wallace had previously
estimated domestic consumption OF
sugar for 1884 at 6,476,000 tons. OF
this 1870 tons was allocated to
domestic beet and cane producers and
a reserve of 1900 tons was created
for subsequent allotment to full duty
countries.
Changes may be made in the quotas
fixed, Tugwell said, and officials were
inclined to regard them as minimum,
although they predicted only minor
adjustments unless drought damage to
the domestic sugar beet crop should
be much more severe than is expected.
The off-shore quotas were estab-
lished by taking the average continent
tai consumption of sugar from the
Philippines. Puerto Rico and Cuba
for 1881, 1882 and 1898 and OF Ha-
waiian sugar for 1880, 1891 and 1892
and subsequently adjusting the ave-
RACES to the total of 4,642 900 tons.

Folger Shakespeare Treasures

Jonson's hand, and Jonson's four most
famous plays. all in exceedingly rare
first editions, Every Man in His HUI
NOR" Every Man Out of His
Humor,' The Alchemist" and "Vol-
pone."
DR.. Adams said that Shakespeare
used The Civil Wars" in writing
Henry w." and that the Stratford
bard played in Every Man in His
Humor.''
A small picture of Jonson lying in
death, with taper burning by his
bedside, has been lent by DR.. Adams
for the exhibition. With this curious
and interesting study is a volume of
commemorative verse dedicated to
Jonson by SO contemporary poets.
In second case is a portion of Mr.
Folger's collection of memorials of
Christopher Marlowe Q564-1593), an
other famous but unfortunate orna-
ment of the Elizabethan age of let
ters. The display centers about "one
of the most precious literary treas
ures in the world"-the original man
uscript, unquestionably in Marlowe's
own hand, of the first draft of a scene
in his THE Massacre at Paris" 1898.
DR.. Adams declared that this frag-
ment is the only known specimen of
the poets writing. THE play" he
said, celebrates the persecution and
massacre of the Huguenots by the
Infamous Duke of Guise, who is made
the villain-hero of the piece"
The first printed edition of the play,
1900, is set beside the manuscript with
a rare miniature in blue enamel on
copper by Limoges representing the
duke as he appeared in l560-another
item lent by DR.. Adams from his per-
Sonal cabinet.
Also in the Marlowe case are an
immaculate copy of the first edition
of Hero and Leander"-''the only
copy of the drst edition in the world

and his mother, Margaret Nicol Rolph, was born in Edinburgh, Scotland. Rolph, after graduation from Trinity College in his native city, worked in brokerage offices, turned to banking and shipping and made, and lost, fortune.
 He dropped $3,OO0,000 in World War days by building a fleet of wooden steamers to meet the de- mand for cargo space at sea. Three of his ships were sunk by the German raider, Count Felix von Luckner. The others were junked when peace came. He worked tire lessly to recoup his losses and it was said in court in 1927 that he was about out of the woods"
 In 1903 Rolph established the Mission Bank of San Francisco and four years later the Mission Savings Bank, a separate institu- ton. The 1906 fire, following the devastating earthquake of that year, intervened but served to bring him to the attention of the entire city for he organized and directed a relief committee that aided thousands of stricken fam lilies.
 Rolph was married June 26, 1900 to Miss Annie Marshall Reid of San Francisco. Two daughters and a son were born to them.

SAN JOSE, Gal June 2.-Gov. James Rolph, Jr., aged GA years, died here today after a two weeks illness. Lung congestion was given as the reason for his death. He was the 28th Governor of Cali fornia and Mayor of San Francisco for 19 years and boasted that more people called him Jim" than was the case with any other living man.
 Long Public Service
 Widely known through his ship ping interests, his long public serv- ice and his willingness at all times to play public role as greeter, parade leader or bestower of prizes, Rolph attracted national attention at least twice in his Gubernatorial capacity.
 The first came April 21, 1932, when he followed the example of three of his predecessors and re- fused to pardon Tom Mooney and Warren K. Billings, convicted of murder in connection with the bombing of the 1916 preparedness day" parade in San Francisco. Rolph, Mayor of the city at the time, was leading the parade but was several blocks away from the scene of the explosion.
 Another Sensation
 The other sensation was furnish ed November 26, 1893, when he ap- plauded the work of a mob which on that Sunday lynched two men at San Jose. The victims, Thomas H. Thurman and John Holmes, had confessed the staying of Brooke Hart, young San Jose business man, after they had Kidnapped him for ransom. The mob fury broke loose when Hart's body was found in San Francisco Bay.
 This is the best lesson that California ever has given the coun- try said Rolph when informed of the lynching We show the na- tion that this State is not going to tolerate Kidnapping"
 The next day, enlarging on this sentiment, he promised to pardon anyone convicted of taking part in the lynchings. He said too that he was thinking of ''paroling" to the San Jose mob several other kidnapers who were serving terms in California prisons.
 Was Vote Getter
 Rolph, large, well proportioned man of impressive bearing, was noted as yote-geter. The larg- est number of ballots ever cast for Ia California Gubernatorial candi- date, 999, 1893, were counted for him in November, 1930 He took pride In that fact and also in the five successive 4-year terms. starting in 1911, to which he was elected as Mayor of San Francisco. He re- linquished the municipal post to become Governor.
