This must necessatlly tie so as the lower tariff Into this country does nut enable the Cuban and Philippine grower to reallr.e a farthing mote for tils sugar In .my other market or the world. There being practically no comietitlon be tween buyers of. raw sugar In this country, the Bugar trust would be foolish to pay more for sugar to the Cuban and Philip pine growers than they ran realize for their sugar In other markets.

"As a matter of fact there Is no reason why either Cuba or the Philippines should receive any advantage over the German, South Amerlcun and other producers who sell sugar to the Cnited States, as they have... not only a climatic advantage over competitors In this market, but can se cure the cheapest kind of coolie labor suitable to the work required on sugar plantations. Not until labor conditions are Identical In Cuba and the Philippines with those existing In this country should any reduction be mado or even considered In the matter.

Track Laying. TAKING POSSESSION OF CAPITOL AVENUE CHURCH ORGANIST ARRESTED John Prower ymons la Taken I p on Charge or Wife than dontnent. John Prower Symons, organist at Trinity cathedral, was arrested and taken to the city jail Saturday afternoon for wife aban donment. His wife, Mary Symons, swore out tho warrant. Immediately after the arrest Symons aj released on bond of t ', signed by W. F. Ormsby, at whose home Symons has been living since be came to this city fourteen months ago. Mrs. Symons registered Friday at the P'1 lone hotel and gave her address as (Ireen ville. Pa. When seen regarding the charge she has preferred against her husband she refused to commit herself. She said It would all come out in court and Intimated there would lie plenty to come out. Organist Symons declared his wife's charge to be without foundation. He snld he has lcen sending her money and has the receipts to show for the remittances sent. Questioned further. Symons said he had not seen fit during his residence here to make It known he had a wife, except to tell Mr. Ormsby, with whom he lives, lte said be did not even know his wife was bi the city. With Mrs. Symons Is her 4-year-ohl son. She registered as "Mrs. J. Prower Symons." It Is a coincidence that F. liaison Wright, predecessor of Symons as organist, sud denly disappeared from Omaha, about two years ago, leaving his wife and two chil dren. Wright was later reunited with his family, but died In Michigan a few months ago. It transpired Wright's reason was affected at the time he left Omaha. Leopold A. (olitamith and William Kmc Present Trillion on Which the Temporary Restraining Order la (iraalrd. Judge Troup on Saturday afternoon Issued a temporary restraining order against the Cnion Paclllc to prevent tracklaylng on Ninth street or Capitol avenue where these two streets Join. Hearing on the applica tion lor an Injunction will be before Judge Troup next Tuesday morning. The temporary restraining order was se cured on a showing made by Attorneys Ziegler and Pennoik. acting for Leopold A. Goldsmith and William Krug. Its terms provide that the railroad must not tear up the streets In the vicinity of Capitol and Ninth, and must not attempt to lay a track or tracks In front of or adjacent to the property of the petitioners, and they must not do anything to obstruct the street to liedestrians or vehicles until further order of the court. A copy of the court's ord.-r was served by the sheriff late Saturday aft ernoon on General Manager Mohlcr and on the man In charge of the construction gang that was attempting to tear up the street and lay tracks in front of Gold smith's saloon. The railroad men claim to be operating under an ordinance which gives them the right to lay tracks on Capitol avenue as far west as Thirteenth street. At the corner of Ninth the sidewalk Is over twenty feet In width, and Goldsmith claims the men were going to lay the track between the curb and his building. He stopped th in with a shotgun Saturday morning, and officers had to be sent to prevent a breach of the peace. The track builders went away from Goldsmith's corner for the time being and he, with Mr. Krug. at once got busy to prevent any track building during Saturday night or Sunday. one. two and thrte.

GUEST IN HOTEL IS HELD UP Me m lie r of Company l'la)lna at the Horn nod Ylrtlm of n Hold Robbery. EAGLES AFTER GRAND AERIE Booster C'lab is Formed and at Work to t Itnlae the Funds. Needed. i Omaha's delegation to the errand aerie meeting of Eales at Denver last August put In a bid for the ltug convention, but Milwaukee dragged off the prlie. The Omaha boosters were given so much en couragement that they have determined to bring to this city tho grand aerie meeting for 1907. To this end a boosting club has been formed which will attend the Mll- . waukee convention next summer, and the iclub Is now preparing an entertainment by which to raise funds to go to Milwaukee loaded for victory. The boosters Intend to .have at least 11,600 to $2,000 for expenses In the effort to capture the grand aerie meet ing, which always brings with it thousands 'of tho freest money spenders In the country. The entertainment to be given under the auspices of Omaha aerie No. 38 will take ,,'the form of an opera, "The Chimes of Normandy." It will be given at Boyd's ' opera house on the nights of January 27 JAPANESE VIEW OF JAPAN atlve Leetarea nt V. M. V, A. on ""uccrsses nml Failures" of Ilia ( viintr) . About all the members who could well be accommodated In the large parlor of the Young Men's Christian association listened to the address given by Mr. Klnya Okajima of South Omaha, a Japanese. He delivered the first of a series of practical talks which will be conducted before the organization during the winter. Ills subject was "Japan, Its Successes and Failures." Ho was In clined to be modest as to the successes of his native land, believing that these had been before tho eyes of the world In a much stronger light than he could shod upon them. He had something to say as to the failures. He said: "The great failure of Japan today Is that It has not yet adopted Christianity." He declared the Japanese would never bo a great colonizing nation until they adopt the humanitarian principles of the United States. The lack of respect for women Is another great cause of failure. Purity is not exalted there as It is here. Until re cently there waa no name for home. There was a name which meant the family and the ancestors, but there was nothing that means what the people of America mean when they speak of home. Recently a name has been created which Is coming into general use. Mr. Okajima is making a special study of prison government and life in tho United States. He is a graduate of Denver university.

JEROME IS COMING English Humorist Mill Lecture Omaha nt l- rlc Theater ext Meek. In Jerome K. Jerome, the English humorist. w ho will uppcar In Omaha . on Tuesday, December 20, at the LyTlc theater, has seen life from all sides and has had his struggles as well as many another self-made man who has climbed from the depth to receive the suffrage of the world. He learned to use his head as well as his handy, and he proudly confesses that at one time during his curecr as an actor ho played six or seven parts a week. Three years of pro vincial touring supplied the material for his first book. "On The Stage And Off." and once having succeeded as author he determined to drop the role of actor. Not that his Interest in the stage has ceased far from It! He has written many plays which have achieved success in other languages than his own. Ills entertain ment is said to be delightful, a sort of a confidential chat with the successful author In which be takes his audience into his confidence and tells them the things he so amusingly has written. This Is his first glimpse of America, though Americans havealway shown auch partiality for his books and plays that in England one less successful has called him a Yankee. Charles I. Schotleld of the Hurwood the ater, who plays the humorous role of Count von Oeugenhelm this week, was held up In his room at the Midland hotel last night at 7:15 p. m. lie was Just In the net of leaving for the theater and as he stepped Into the hall Was oidered to hold up bis hands. He was then backed Into the room, where he was forced to light the gas and to give up his valuables and a pr.rse con taining his money, These consisted of a watch and $10 In cash. He sold the man was a little fellow and talked with a Ger man accent. He had two guns. After get ting the money, as In the case of the other recent roblerles In hotels of the city, he locked Mr. Schofleld In his room, after dis abling the bell. Mr. Schofleld mode a connection by using his little finger In the push button and so gave the alarm within a few minutes of the time of the robbery. As yet the man is at large. At 8:45 Detectives Heitfeldt and Donahue arrested a man whom they suspected of committing the robbery. He gave bis name as William Kehl and said he lived at Six teenth and Clark streets. After the theater closed all the men of tho Woodward Stock company paid a visit to the Jail, where Kehl was presented to Mr. Schofleld. Mr. Schofield said he was not the party who robbed him. He then gave a graphic no count of the matter to the officers. He said : "I had Just sterped out of my room and was In the act of locking the door when someone accosted me and said, 'Put up your hands.' I said, 'What are you giving j us? You trying to kid me?" I straightened up and instinctively raised my hands. I I touched a gun which I could not see, for the hall wn dark. Then I lost no time lit getting my hands up. He then told m to keep still and get back Into my room. There he told tna to light the gns. 'Now.' he said, 'pull clown the shades of the windows.' Then he told me to hand over my money. I pulled out 50 cents and passed It over, say ing: 'That's all I've got.' This did not sat isfy the man. He felt of my pockets him self. Of course he found my pocketbook and took the money out. only $10.50 In all. He looked very determined and I was afraid of bis shooting. Physically I could have overpowered hint easily for he wa-s a small man. I inn sure If I see him again I will know hlni. After he got the money he or dered me to stand on the other side of the room. Then he disabled the call bell und went out, locking me in. In about two minutes I succeeded In rousing the house."

Game of Craps. Twenty-six colored men were nabbed last night by the police on the charge of enjoy ing a quiet crap game in the basement of , truly. the Paxton hotel. It has been rumored that this practice has been going on for some time past. They have a nice system ST. PAUU Minn., Dec. lo.-To the Editor of The Bee: A clipping from your paper of December 13, saying that the Chicago Great Western Railway company and myself had opposed the passage of certain Union Pa cific trackage ordinances, has been sent me, I desire to say that this Is not true. I did not even know that any ordinances of the kind were pending before the city council, and I do not now know what privileges were granted by tho ordinances. Presum ably, they are ordinances which will add to the prosperity of the city of Omaha, and I am the last man who would oppose any thing which would be a benefit to your city. Besides, when I oppose a thing people gen erally know It they haven't got to guess about It. I have no hostility against the Union Pa cific, and I do not believe the Union Pacific has any hostility against the Chicago Great Western. I wish you would publish this note. Yours A. B. STICKNEY. Tremendous Power over constipation, biliousness, etc.. Is of identification which the officers dls-i 8l,own ,n the marvelous cures made by d.ai-u ut.tjkM est . . - - covered too late for the development of a perfect case against all the inmates of the house of pleasure. There Is a hole In the basement door and if a man wants ad mittance he puts his finger through the hole. Then If his finger Is black as is de termined by the high chief Inspector or whatever the dignitary's name may be, he Is admitted. If it Is a white man's finger he is told to vamose. Had the officers known of the secret of the ebony finger, it is possible that the door would have opened on a beautiful, piece of evidence. But aa It was they had to knock and this gave time for the players to assume splendid poses of sublime innocence. Twenty-six of them were carried In state to the Jail.
