The Xebraska-Mollne Plow exxhpany,
whose building at Eighth and Leavenworth

Sunday morning, carried insurance to the
extent of 1100.000 on Its stock and building.
The exact amount of loss has not as yet

fire from 175,000 to $100.000 has not been
changed materially by the officers of the

The statement was made yesterday that
all the Insurance was carried In Daven

'Adjnt ' Oenerrl and C, J.

(From a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN, Nov. 16. (Special.) Now
comes tho report to the state house that
the guaranty of bank deposits bill to be
passed by the democratic legislature will
not be objectli nable to the bankers of
Nebraska.
The report Is that a lawyer at North
Platte made the statement that "Shallen-
berger's guaranty bill will not hurt us.'
This If the reason this banker gave for
supporting the governor-elect.
The information was brought to Lincoln
by a close personal and political friend of
Governor Sheldon and he gave out the
information to several parties. It was hla
idea that the bankers of the state op
posed Governor Sheldon and were for Shal-
lenberger notwithstanding they opposed a
guaranty law and Shallenberger favored.lt.
This man believed from his talk with the
hanker that the democratic candidate nnd
the representatives of the bankers thor
oughly understand each other and they
were natisfled witli what Shallenberger
would recommend to the legislature,
llartliran for Adjutant General.
It whs reported this morning that Gov
ernor Sliallcnbcrger bad formally offered
the position of adjutant general to Colonel
J. (J. Hartlgan of Fnlrbury and the latter
had accepted. Some few days ago a re
liable report was received here that tlu
Job was at the disposal of Hartigan. but
that he turned it down and that Major
Mack f f Albion would be the next adjutant
general.
C j. Bowlby of Crete, a newspaper man,
editor of the Crete Democrat, is fcald to
be slated for labor commissioner lo take
tbe place made fameus by John J. Ryder
during the last year and a half. It la
said along with the report, which is prob
ably reliable, that Bowlby will continue to
run his newspaper and do the Job here aa
a side line.
High School Bonds.
The county of Kimball today registered
$5,000 high school bonds. Issued under the
new high school law enacted by the laat
legislature. Kimball county Is the first
In the state to Issue such bonds. They run
for five years and pay 6 per cent Interest,
A Chicago firm was the purchaser.
Ilsvrlark Misses Chanre.
The people of Havelock who asked the
Railway commission to compel the Lincoln
Traction company to give a 5-cent rate to
Lincoln missed an opportunity by not for
cing the Issue before election. The hearing
waa had with Chairman Wlnnett and Com
missioner Clarke present. A few diys be.
fore election Judge Williams went to
Omaha and before leaving his office he
filed with the secretary a statement that
If the matter came up he voted "yes."
If the Havelock representatives had man.
aged to g either one of the oilier com
missioners In the saine frame of mind the
victory would have been won.
Ashton May Contest.
Senator Fred Ashton of Grand Island
came to Lincoln today and secured a copy
of the official vote in his district from
tins records In the office of the secretary
of state. The vote- shows Ashton was
defeated by twentj".
"I have not decided whether to contest

FREE SUGAR FROM PHILIPPINES
Secretary Wright Argues Against Any
Duty on Insular Product.
BEET MEN ARE STANDING PAT
Their Representatives Araae Again
Any Chance In Schedules
Charge that Trnst Controls
This Industry.
WASHINGTON. Nov. 19.-The allegation
that the so-called "Sugar trust" controls
the prlco paid the grower and the price
charged the consumer, tho secretary ot
war putting himself on record aa a cham
pion of free entry for Philippine sugar and
the general "stand-put" attitude of the beet
sugar growers who appeared before tho
ways and means commltteo of the Iiousa
were tho features of today's hearing oil
the revision of the tariff as it would affect
sugar.
Secretary of war, Luke K. Wright, and
General Clarence Kdwards, chief of the in
sular bureau, were present. It was shortly
after the afternoon session waa begun thai
Chairman Payne asked Secretary Wright
If he cared to make any remarks. Tho
former governor of the Islands, said:
'Wo are now having an investigation
made In the Philippines regarding the cost
of production In the islands and other mat
ters relating to the question. From what
I have Just heard, tho principal objection
by the beet sugar growers to the admission
freo of duly of Philippine sugar liea In the
danger that their markets will be Inundated
by tho Philippine article. It la not posslblu
that tho Philippine Islands could supply tho
actual Increase In demand for sugar, year
iy year. In the Vnlted States. In that case
there Is no reason why tho Islands should
affect the market until tho beet and cane
sugar produced within the tariff wall In
creases 1,800.000 tons. Before the beet sugar
Industry Is In the slightest danger, It must
Increase from 440.000 tons annually to 2,100.-
000 tons, and from annual reports It wool I
take fifty years to do this,
Special Bill for Philippines.
Chairman Payne Indicated that the possi
ble action of the committee with regard
to the sugar schedule would be to recom
mend that a certain amount of Philippine
stiKar be admitted free of duty each yesr
and that the present tariff bo Imposed on
any above that amount. He told Becrelary
Wright that the menace, if any, was from
the Cuban sugar, which enjoys a reduction
In the tariff of 20 per cent. He nlao Inti
mated that the . Philippine tariff was sc
Important a question that It might not be
considered as being strictly a part of tha
work of revising the Dingley tBflfT, mlt
would be taken up separately.
Secretary Wright said that the produo
tier of sugar In tho Philippines would no!
Increase to any extent. Representative
Foidney of Michigan, who has . a large
number of sugar beet farmers among hie
constituents, told the secretary that thi
same argument was put forth with regan
to the Cuban sugar several years ago snc
yet the production In Cuba had Increased
very largely, and the American beet suctar
Industry had not Increased very much.
"The beet sugar people say that (hi
American Sugar Refining company has no
Interest In their factories," said the secre
tary, referring to the so-called trust, "yet
three years ago they said a trustee, under
stood to represent the American Sugar
Refining company, owned 1 per cent of tint
stock of all tint beet sugar factories. That
may be the reuson v hy the bout sugnr
IncTstry In this cocntry has not grown,
rather than the importation' of Cuban
fcugar. Thcie hns b( en no reduction In tlca
price of sugar in a number of years.
Trust Nantes Price.
Much Information concerning the Cost of
producing sugar, the profits derived, capi
tal Inverted, methodB of growing and re
fining, were offered at toduy's licarint,.
Colonel D. D. Colcock, on Iw half of tho
Louisiana cane sugar growers, said tha'
the methods by which the "trust" namea
the price which It would pay the grower
were unfair und "damnable."
Henry T. Oxnard, F. R. Hal ha way, C N.
Smith. F. T. Scholes. G. V. McCormlck
and W. II. Riird. repu-sentlng the beet
sugar manufacturers of the west, asked
that the present tariff be maintained, or.
If changed, that It be Increased, claiming
that the margin of profit on beet sugar
was too small to permit of any compe
tition with the foreign reflnors.
F. R. Hathaway. represiAtliig tha Michi
gan Sugar company, ciiarged that K. V.
Atkins, who will appear tomorrow, repre
senting the Cuban sugar growers, "not
only prophesies, but threatens a revolution
In Cuba which would r sult In tho "an
nexation of Cuba and ultimate free trade.
If the request for reduction Is not granted."
The hearing will bo continued tomorriw,
when the "Independent" refiners are ex
pected to argue for a reduction In the
tariff for raw suirar.
Coal nnd Lumber Schedules.
That the steil. eo-il Mid lumbir interests
will make a stuhhoin fight against the ri
d'lction of the tariff on these products was
stated tod.'iy by Senator K.lklns of West
Virginia as he was letivlng the White
House after a call up m President Roose
velt. "There is going to be a fight on coal and
lumber ri'.tos." s.ild Ilia senator. "West
Virginia, whli li produced .1 large amount
of theao products, is entirely satisfied with
the existing rates and will put up a con
test before It permits them lo be changed."
If Canada manifests a Hllllngness to re
dui( its d ity on coal, the senator raid, an
agreement inlulit be reached easily for the
reduction of tin- tariff on c ul Into the
I'nlted States.
Mr. F.lklns declared it Would be unfair
lo the country to attempt to revise thu
tariff lit tin- lomlliii i:en.ou of congrot-s.
