Mayor Carson called a special meeting o
the city council last evening and vetooe
the ordinance granting a fifty-year c.xtenslor
of the motor company's franchise.
The meeting was Hie result of an agreemeni
reached by the mayor and the council bj
which the council agiced to ask the mayoi
to return the ordinance without his approva
that the council might consider It further am
make some changes. A majority of tin
members made this propieltlon to the mayoi
In writing late yestcrdiiy afternoon. Tha
the meeting was to be held was only knowr
to a few of the clti7cns , and the coiiis.qucnci
was that there were only a limited numbw
of the objectcr. ( to the emllna'ncu present.
The > members of the council have given
the matter a great deal of ciiieful considera
tion and have- decided that some changes In
the ordinance were advisable. These modi-
fie-allotiK will no doubl bo acceptable to the
motor company"and the- ordinance will prob.
ably tome up again at the next meeting ot
same nlhor meet lug In the near future , anil
after some Important channc are made
passi'd with the approval of the mayor.
Mono of tinolficers of the motor company
v.-ete willing to talk last evening or give
any information. If they had any to give ,
concerning the nature of the modifications
that would be made , and the luembcrs of the
council wcro equally reticent. The fact that
the oillcurs of the compnii ) were apparently
not teollns very good indicates that the out
look was considered to be not altogether
favorable to thr.lr hopes.

I'l-Oiil I.Il-M III till' IIUNlllCNN.
Mr. H. T. JurFuehrman , representing the
American Beet Sugar Faotory Construction
company of Chicago opcnt several hours yes
terday forenoon' In consultation with tlu
executive committee ot the Merchants' and
Manufacturers' association In the office ol
Secretary Judson. The time was spent In
discussing the problem of establishing-
beet sugar factory In Council Blurts. Mr.
Fuehrman constructed the Oxnard factories
in Nebraska and he presented sufficient cre
dentials tc the committee to establish tlu
lact that his statements concerning the
advantages and profits of a sugar factory
could be taken as authoritative , and his
explanations wore consequently listened tc
with the greatest Interest.
Thu committee had Invited a number ol
the leading local capitalists to meet Mr.
Fuehrman , and among those who responded
were E. L. Shugart , Leonard Everett , Sam
uel Haas , F. R. Davis and others. The
time wao chiefly devoted to hearing Mr.
Fuehnnun explain the beet sugar industrj
and showing Its great importance to the citj
and the farmers. For half an hour he
poured rather- dazzling statistics Into the
cars of those present , and proved each state
ment made by documentary evidence. He
also gave estimates of the cost of plants
ranging from 300 tons to 1,000 tons of beets
a day , and In an informal way presented
oeveral propositions that his company would
be willing to consider. The plan proposed
was the construction of a 300-ton plant ,
which would cost $285,000 to construct and
equip. The cost of a site and the addition
of the necHSBary working capital -would
bring the total Investment up to $315,000 ,
He outlined briefly two propositions thai
would bo considered by his company In
erecting and equipping this plant. One wae
for approximately one-half of the capital
required to be raised by local capitalists
and his company would undertake to pro
vide the other half and build the plan !
and have It In operation within a year ,
The other was to construct the plant and
furuleh skilled labor to operate it for the
first year for 5 per cent of the total Invest
ment about $15,000. For either propositlor
the company would execute a bond for anj
reasonable amount above the cost of thi
factory that the net profits In the way o
dividends should amount to 10 per cent Ir
addition to 0 per cent interest upon thi
total capital Invested. Ho gave In detal
numerous plans for Interesting local capital
but did not enthusiastically approve of thi
plan of selling stock among the farmers , fo :
the reason that such stock subscriptions hat
been repeatedly refused by eastern mono ;
lenders.
ACREAGE OF BEETS REQUIRED.
Ho estimated that 3,000 acres of cultivate !
beets would provide enough material ti
keep such a factory lu operation for 101
daya , and a 100-day season was used as tin
basis of all of his estimates and guarantees
If more than 3,000 acres could be cultlvatei
and the factory kept In operation ICO dayi
the profits In dividends would bo In thi
neighborhood of 25 or 30 per cent.
"There Is no possible danger of an over
production of sugar , " said ho , "for you havi
ono firm In your city who can handle thre
times the total output of such a factory
There la no other business that require
ouch a small working capital. It require
only nine hours to convert the raw beet :
into refilled eugar , and on all markets suga
Is cash. Your broker will return the casl
within ten ilaja from the date of your con
ulgnmont of the sugar , and your worklni
capital is turned over practically ever ;
week. No other business In this conntr
can show such results , "
To further emphasize the fact that tbcr
could be no danger of a dull market an
overproduction , ho qnotwl statistics to sho\
that it would require 100 factories of doubl
the capacity of the one In contemplation t
! supply the demands of the Iowa inarkt
alone. He Instanced ono district In Prussi
whose total area was no larger than Potta
wattamle county , where the beet cultur
sustained thirty-two factories , varying ii
rapacity of from 300 to 1,000 tons of beet
a day. If the beets analyzed 13 per con
sugar 100 pounds of beets would produc
over ten pounds of refined sugar , and
richer saccharine product would give corre
opondlngly better results. Twelve per cen
beets at $4 a ton would net the farmer
{ on an average of $40 an acre for the us
of their' lands. One man with the presen
moans of cultivation could take euro of IIv
acres of beets , do all ot tha work in connec
tlon with harvesting and marketing then
The larger the area cultivated and the mor
Fpeclally adapted now ' machinery used th
greater the profit t'o the grower.
Ilo explained that nil of the machlner
used lu connection with the factory woul
be of the latest pattern and all of America
makv. which was now about 30 per cc-n
cheaper than It could be Imported fror
Franco or Germany ,
W4LL MAKE IT IN WRITING ,
At the conclusion of his remarks ho In
formed tha members of the committee tha
ho would stud some written proposition
after Ills return to Chicago that would b
somewhat better than he had outlined , H
loft with the secretary a largo amount c
litt'rature showing the extraordinary profit
of capital Invested In beet sugar making
Onet of the first things that would bo necet
Eaiy , ho declared , would bo the making c
contracts with responsible farmers an
gardeners for the culture of at least 3,00
acres of bee to. In Germany the posgesslo
of uucb a bunch of contracts would enabl
the promoters of the enterprise to go Int
the money market and tocurc 90 per cen
of the capital required to build aud operat
the factory , but lu this country at the prti
ent time 45 or CO per cent was the mot
that capitalists would advance , altboug
with a positive assurance that the earnln
capacity of the enterprise would be at leai
17 per cent ,
The statements and propositions excite
coutldcrablo Interest atngog the gcntlerne
present , and they will await ( he receipt o
the written proposals of his company wltl
Romcthlng more than mere curiosity.
Mr. Fuehrman left for Chicago last even

One of the most , enjoyable encampment
given in the history of the Douglas Count
Veterans' association occurred at Waterlc
on Tuesday , Wednesday and' ' Thursday o
last week. Full accounts of the events c
each day from the pen of a special corn
tpondent appeared dally In The Bte , so th :
but little remains for this column to t > ay I
regard to the affair except to summarize.
The encampment was pitched upon one t
the many beautiful spots about Waterloo an
was named Camp Clarkson In honor of Con
mandcr-In-Chlef Clarkson of the Gran
Army of the Republic. Scores of tent
dotted the grounds and the veterans an
their families hugely enjoyed the campln
out under the beautiful weather that pre
vailed throughout the encampment. TI
attendance1 was very large from every pa
of the county.
The business sessions of the association o-
cupled a share of the time of the veteran
but by far the greater portions of the thr <
days was spent In pure enjoyment. TI
camp fires were numerous and proved to 1
very interesting. The speakers includt
eomo of the most prominent Grand Army me
in the country , and they swapped am
stories with great relish. One of the fc ,
turra of the encampment was the mancuve
liiK of company B , Twenty-second Infantr
under command of Captain Chlttenden , wi
| put his men through skirmish drills at
uhani battles for the edification of the vet
rans ,
At the business sessions B. R , Hall , J. I
Butler and Dr. Spaldlng of this city we :
appointed a committee to secure from tl
exposition management a building on tl
i exposition grounda for the exclusive hcai
I quarters of old soldiers and sailors who ma
visit the show. Another committee , cot
sistlng of R. L , Livingston , William Osborni
A. I. McDougall , Dr. S. K. Spaldlng and .
P. Hcmlurscn , was appointed to consider th
advisability of establishing permanent cam
grounds. Among other umlnets a move
ment was startedSo add Sarpy county to Ih
territory of the association and to hold Join
cncanipmcntn with the veterans of that com
ty In the future.

The unfortunate strife of the Fulton ami
Heck Island cltlzoM end members of the or
der over the removal'of ' the headquarters ol
the Modern \Voodmcnot , America culmlnntcJ
aRaln yesterday \ \ what npprars to have been
nothing more op Ices i than a pitched battle.
The telegraphic coHinYns of yesterday and to
day's Ilee give a fiill account of the trouble ,
which resulted In the Injury of several pople ,
ono of whom may die.
Thla trouble over the removal of the offices
from Fultrn to Hock Island once before ended
In an encounter between citizens of the two
places. A numher of months ago the Rock
Island people In the night time descended
upon Pulton and removed n considerable
quantity of the records from the offices to
their train before they were discovered. The
alarm , however , was Bounded and the Fulton
people flocked out and an end put to the raid ,
The Invaders were driven Into their cars by
Etreims of water from hcae and were held
there until an order from the court was se
cured , forbidding them to further attempt
the removal and Instructing them to return
the records they had already taken. This en
counter did not result In any personal Injury
to any of the participants , but the feellnp.
has apparently become much Intensified since
that time
The history of the troubles Is well known
to those Interested In secret society history ,
Tlio movement to remove the headquarters
wns drat started at the time the head cam ) '
held Its meeting In this city several year.- .
ago. At that time the Fulton people called
In the assistance of the courts to prevent the
removal nnd litigation has continued since
that time. The opposition of the Fultonltte
to the removal la fully explained by the facl
that the headquarters biv.g a large amount
of business icito the town where located. The
opposition Is centered entirely at Fulton and
the Immediate vicinity. The members al
large arc almost unanimously In favor of the
removal , and attempts of the Fultonites tc
fccuro outside support to their opposition
have failed utterly.
The Fultonites first based their opposi
tion to the removal on the grounds that
the laws of the state would not permit a re
moval. This contention was carried up to
the highest court , which finally decided that
the Illinois law would allow the removal to
any town In the stale , but would not permit
the olllccs to be taken -out of the state
bounds. Tliin decision was rendered Just
previous to this year's session of the head
camp.
When the head camp met It wns found
that this decision and some amendments
that had been' adopted during last winter's
session of the legislature * had taken away
pll legal objection to the removal. Therefore
the head camp again voted to remove the
headquarters to Hock Mand , the chaugc
to take place within thirty days. Hut the
Fulton people Interfered with this plan by
once more securing an Injunction preventing
this removal.
The suit was set for trial next September ,
but the Rock Island people succeeded In
obtaining a hearing recently before the supreme
premo court of the state aud that body on
last Friday dissolved the injunction. The
obstacle out of the .way , the Hock Island
people determined to give the Fulton citl-
to them by
zomi no more opportunities stop
injunction or otherwise. Therefore on Fri
day night a train load of Rock Islanders
went to Fulton to get the records , but their
presence was again discovered and the fight
ensued. '
