hod been expected. Tho hearing was pri
vate, which was another feature that tho
public did not expect nnd which was at
Hofcldt's suggestion.
Tho special hearing of tho heads of de

from 3;30 until after 6 o'clock, but tho
department In which tho greatest cut Is
scheduled was left until 9:30 this morn
ing. County Clerk Miller will then np-
pear nnd later will bo followed by Clerk
Ilroadwell of tho district court. Mr. Mill
er's principal argument will bo tho state
ment of his republican predecessor, who
told Mr. Miller when tho latter took the
olllco thcro was not ono omploya who could
bo spared.
Tho arguments of thoso heard yesterday
aro reported to havo been only partially lu
tho noturo of protests. County Treasurer
Etsasscr reminded tho board that It was
that body' nnd not ho himself who had pro.
posed that tho personal tax man bo put on
and bo said that ho was willing to havn tho

AVIIHiikt In llnvr One I, en Depnty.
Sheriff Power thought he could worry
along with ono less deputy on his staff,
but mudo a stiff stand against tho re
moval of ono assistant jailor, asserting
that tho Jail Is now kept In n moro sani
tary condition and its Inmates better and
tnoro successfully guarded than before, and
that tho safety of tho Jailers themselves
demands that thero bo alwayH n guard on
tho outside of tho cages when thcro Is a
guard moving around within them.
E. J. Ilodwoll, superintendent of public
Instruction, is willing to try doing without
tin nsslstpnt In his ofllco for a whllo, with
tho understanding thnt ha may ask for ono
if tho work gets too heavy for him. For
mer Commissioner Hoctor's slstcr-In-law
has had tho place, though attached to tho
auditor's department.

Superintendent Canon of tho poor farm Is
willing to seo tho sacrlflco of ono raalo

ticable becouso of tho Inconvonienco that

that n hurry call for him should come whllo
ho has a load half way up the hill.
Ed Deo, superintendent of tho court
house has finally secured an engineer's
license, so thnt now the special engineer
can bo sacrlllccd, although it Is cold by
some of the commissioners that a night
Urn mnn should bo put on.
It remained for County Attorney Sblolda
to take an jittltudo of defiance Ho told
tho gentlemen' of the board that his right
' to have it special messenger was 'established
when ho won In tha attempt in Judge Dick
inson's court a year ago to have his mes
senger cut off, nnd that they must leave
tliat messenger on tho payroll. A membor
of tho board stated last night, however,
that Mr. Shields' declaration didn't settlo
tho matter nnd that tho board would do a
llttlo reading on Its own account.
Tho commissioners are refraining from
expressing themselves until nil the heads of

CUBAN PLANTERS TO BENEFIT
Comniltteemnn Tnmier Sa Tariff
Iteittictlun on Siijtnr "Won hi Not
Help Any Other Class,
WASHINGTON, Jan. 20. Since tho Cu
bans appeared before tho ways nnd means
committees there have been somo candid
expressions ns to tbo courso to pursuo to
ward Cuba. Mr. Tawney, of tho commit
tee, says: "I am only reciting from tho
testimony of these owners whon I state
that the proposed reduction of tariff would
not inure to the benefit of tho consumers of
sugar. Tho gentlemen who came before us
In the courso of questioning admitted that
outsldo of Havana nil the labor of the Island
was employed, The railroad between Ha
vana and Santiago is advertising for help.
Mr. Atkins, tho owner of ono of tho larg
est plantations in tho island, nssured us
that tho price of sugar was fixed for the
world In London, f. o. b. In Hamburg. In
answer to an inquiry from me he stated
that no benefit would likely result from
free trade or lower duty, except to tho
planters themselves. The Inquiry further
devolpocd, as other gentlemen wero heard,
that 90 per cent of the planta
tions of the Island nro owned by Spaniards,
the most of whom will retain their citizen-
hip with Spain, And about 10 por cent of
tho plantations nre owned by Cubans nnd
Americans."
A great deal Is being said around the
capital about tho effect lower duties would
have on the prleo of lands In Cuba. "Many
Americans have purchased real estate In
Cuba," continued Mr. Tawney, "for from
$2 to $10 an acre. Tho testimony before
the ways and meant comtnltteo demon
strated that tho average crop of sugar w.is
two and a half tons per acre. If wo re
move tbls duty of $35 a ton, now enforced,
the value of tho same land will lucreaso
something llko $00 an acre. If wo rcduco
the duty 23 per cent the enhancement will
be Just one-fourth as much.
"At preseut the production of sugar In
Cuba Is about 15,000 tons," asserted Mr.
Tawnoy. "That Is moro than tho estimated
production of beet BUgar In tho United
States for next year. From question put
to somo of the witnesses during tbo hearing,
the Information was gained that during tbo
next ten years tho plantations of Cuba could
be developed to produce 3,000,000 tons of
sugar and within tho next twenty years tho
Island could bo developed easily to produce
,000,000 tons nnd thus supply tho world."
Thero Is naturally much Interest in tho
coming of Governor General Wood, who Is
expeoted to testify beforo tho ways and
means commltteo next week, In favor of
reduction of duties. With the Impression
tho sugar planter mado In their own be
half. General Wood wilt havo something
of a task to help tholr causa materially.
Mr. Tawney said yesterday that tho testi
mony showed many of thoso who appeared
beforo the" committee to be stockholders In
tho sugar trust, notable nmong them being
Mr. Atkins.
