iWILL NOT AID THE CONSUMER
JChnmplon of Sugar Producers Says
Act Effect Will Be Destruction
of the Industry nnil Utnc
In rrlces.
WASHINGTON. June 2. Senator Rans
dell of Louisiana, In a prepared speech
today, discharged verbel broadsides at
the so-called "sugar trust.' declared tho
free sugar schedule of the tariff bill
"violated the pledge of tho Baltimore
platform not to destroy legitimate In
dustry" and declared that In supporting
free sugar "tho democratic party will be
playing Into the hands of the sugar
trust and other refiners."
Mr. Ransdell made the statement that
the cane Industry of Louisiana supported
"'half a million souls;" that the beet
sugar Industry employed 150,000 people,
with 500,000 dependent upon It and that
200,000 people In Hawaii depended on
sugar. The refiners, he declared, em
ployed about 10,000 men.
Directly attacking the so-called sugar
trust. Senator Ransdell reviewed th eucs
toms frauds and the government's anti
trust suits against the American Sugar
Refining company and that former At
torney General Wlckersham had referred
to some of the refiners as "criminals of
unparalleled depravity." The campaign
tor free sugar, he charged, was conducted
by the refiners "to distract attention from
themselves." No reductions In price to
the consumer would follow free sugar,
Senator Ransdell declared, but charged
that after competition had been elim
inated the price would be raised.
Senator Ransdell contended that the
trainers of the Baltimore platform did not
contemplate free sugar, and declared that
the words "that will not Injure or destroy
any legitimate Industry" were written
Into the platform with "especial refer
ence to sugar."
The senator's argument was a very long
One, Intended to show that free sugar
would violate' the 'pledges of the dem
ocratic party, 'destroy tho home Industry
and bring no reduction of cost to the
consumer.
Humphrey Attacks Forest Service.
In a speech today supporting his reso
lution for a congressional Investigation
for the forest service Representative
Humphrey of "Washington declared that
In one Instance the Northern Pacific rail
road had been permitted to exchange
450,000 acres of barren-land for timber
land worth at least J10.000.000, which it
sold to the Weyerhausers. He charged
that the forest service "is still working
In perfect accord and In the Interest of
a great private timber ownership to pro
duce a monopoly of the timber supply
and to Increase the price of forest prod
ucts." MRS. PANKHURSTSTILL
DEFIES GOVERNMENT
LONDON, June 2. Mrs. Emmellne
Pankhurst, militant suffragette leader,
whose "license" expires on June 9, Is re
covering from the Illness arising from her
"hunger strike." She was too weak to
day, however, to attend the usual Mon
day meeting of the Women's Social and
Political union, tho militant suffragettes'
organization.
In a letter from Mrs. Pankhurst read
at the meeting she expressed the hope
that she would be able to be present next
week. The letter breathed defiance of
the government. Mrs. Pankhurst de
clared her spirit was unbroken.
STATE SPRINGS SURPRISE
IN W00DDYNAMITE CASE
' BOSTON, June 2. The prosecution
sprang a surprise In the dynamite con
spiracy case today by Introducing as a
witness a chauffeur who testified that he
drove a passenger resembling Frederick
E. Atteaux from the Boston home of
William M. Wood, president of the
American Woolen company to the corner
of Washington and Franklin streets on
the night of January 29, 1912, the date
upon which the dynamite was "planted"
at Lawrence.
GENERAL DRUMM0ND
UNDERGOES OPERATION
LONDON, June 2. "General" Mrs.
Flora Drummond, one of the militant suf
fragette leaders, underwent a successful
operation here today. She was taken 111
during the police court proceedings
against the suffragette leaders early In
May. A second and more serious opera
tion Is to be performed as soon as tho
"general" is well enough to endure It.
It Is probable, therefore, that her trial
will b Indefinitely postponed.

Wilson to Give Out
List of Diplomatic
Appointments Soon
WASHINGTON, June 2,-Three days of
rest and recuperation havo brought a
slow of color to the face of President
Wilson and he looked refreshed and
healthy as ho faced a half hundred of
Washington correspondents at the usual
Monday conference. The president was
In good humor and parried dozens of
questions with evident enjoyment.
"Can you tell us what Is holding up the
nomination of a public printer?" was ono
of the first inquiries.
"Mainly tho Indecision of the presldont,"
said Mr. Wilson with a laugh In which
his hearers Joined.
In rtsponso to other questions, the
president said ho had practically decided
upon the personnell of the new Industrial
commission and mlfiht send the names
to tho senate this week. He said he had
nearly mado up a list of diplomatic ap
pointments, but would not make them
public until It was actually completed.
Although ho has decided upon an am
bassador for Mexico, the president said
tho appointment will be deferred until
conditions warranted recognition of the
Mexican republic. Changes in tho civil
service commission, he let It bo known,
would await the outcome of an Investi
gation by the senate of the civil service.
Charles P. Taft, a brother of the former
president, dropped In to shake hands with
Mr. Wilson and tho latter Inquired when
Professor Taft was expecting to return
to Washington. He learned that his pre
decessor would be hero June 9 for a meet
ing of the Lincoln Memorial commission.
Daniels Suggests
Trade Schools for
Naval Recruits
NEWPORT. R. I., June 2. Every ship
of tho American navy will be a school and
every officer a schoolmaster if Secretary
Josephus Daniels carries out the plan he
outlined here today in an address before
the Naval War college. "The chief lack In
the navy today," the secrtary told the
officer-students, "Is a systematic and
proper instruction of the young men who
respond to our calls to enlist and who
man our ships."
Referring to the alluring advertise
ments of the recruiting stations, promis
ing young men opportunities for learning
all kinds of trades and vocations, Mr.
Daniels said, "As a matter of fact we
have neglected training them, and outside
of the practical duties aboard ship they
do not obtain the drilling and education
which should be given them In order to
keep the promise mado as well as benefit
the navy," He added that when men
enlist they should be assigned to a regular
course, being allowed to elect whether
they study engineering or electricity, ma
chinery, carpentry or other trades, and
classes should be organized to teach them
all. In addition, he said, there, should
be courses In primary instruction con
ducted by thyoupger of leers.
Denver Officials
Refuse to Recognize
New Government
DENVER, June 2. Without the slight
est resistance, although every office In
the city hall was guarded by policemen
to prevent occupancy of the building by
the newly elected city commissioners, the
commissioners took possession of tho
council chamber today and proceeded to
organize. Dr. J. M. Perkins, commissioner
of social welfare, was elected mayor of
the city on the fourth ballot. Isaac N.
Stevens, progressive, was elected city at
torney, supplanting W. H. Bryant, who
Immediately signified his willingness to
deliver over his office to the new In
cumbent. Former Mayor Henry J. Arnold, how
ever, refused to surrender office, as most
of tho former officials under him did.
They declare the city's welfare will be
jeopardized If the old administration
gives up office without a court order
legalizing what they declare to be an
Illegal commission.
The commissioners passed an ordinance
vacating all municipal offices except those
of the fire and police departments. A
resolution declaring all ordinances In full
force and effect was also adopted.

T0KI0 MAKES INVESTIGATION
Signatories ot Treaty Wonld Aicree
to llefrnln from Ilnsttlltlen for
Nine Month While Claim
Ilefore Tribunal.
WASHINGTON, Juno 2. Viscount
Chinda, the ambassador from Japan, lato
today called on Secretary Bryan with
formal notification that Japan had ac
cepted In principle the proposed plan ad
vanced by the United States for universal
peace.
Signatories of the treaty proopsed In
Mr. Bryan's plan would agree to refrain
from hostilities for a period of at least
nine months while any conflicting claims
were under consideration by an Interna
tional Joint commission. In the case of
Japan, as with tho ten other nations that
have received the proposal favorably, the
response applies solely to the general
principle involved and none has com
mitted Itself to approval of any of the
details of the project. Therefore, it may
be many months before the tentative
draft of the convention which Mr. Bryan
submitted to the various embassies and
legations can be reduced to a form which
will receive their unqualified approval.
The statement by the Japanese ambas
sador that his government was prepared
to give careful and favorable considera
tion to the peace proposal has no bearing
whatever upon tho negotiations now In
progress between the two countries re
garding the Callfrnla alien land legisla
tion. During his call upon Mr. Bryan
this afternoon the ambassador discussed
the subject from various angles for half
and hour, but without any definite de
velopment. , lift.,.
The Japanese foreign office has not yet
cabled the ambassadr definite Instructions
regarding the submission of Its rejoinder
to the last American note, and It Is
known that It Is conducting an individual
Investigation as a basis for Its rejoinder.
Gary Says Steel
Trust's Supply of
Ore is Not Large
NEW YORK, June 2.-The United
States Steel corporation has a smaller
supply of ore In proportion to Its pro
ducing capacity than Its competitors
have, said Judge Elbert H. Gary, who.
testified today In the suit to dissolve the
corporation. This testimony was In
answer to the government's charge that
the corporation has a monopoly of ore.
Judge Gary, tho corporation's chief ex
ecutive, defended the corporation's own
ership of railroads in the Lake Superior
ore district He testified that the cor
poration's roads served Independents In
all respects as weU as they did the cor
poration. With the exception of one that
was withdrawn, there has been no com
plaints against the freight rates charged
he said, "until it was suggested in the
hearings before the Stanley committee
that the rates were high." These rates
had been the name, he said, as chorged
by the roads when acquired by tho cor
poration. They were reduced In 1911.
"But the reduction didn't go Into ef
fect until after the filing of this suit,"
commented Henry E. Cotton, of counsel
for the government.
Jewelry Store is
Looted by Armed Men
NEW YORK, June 2. Four armed high

Mandel Greenhaus on the lower cast side
today, held him up at the point of a re
volvcr, beat htm senseless when he re
sisted, looted his two safes of $4,000 n
gems, locked him In the shop and escaped.
Grenhaus staggered to his feet, smashed
the glass panel of the locked door and,
crawling through, gave the alarm. The
leader of the highwaymen entered the
place alone, Greenhaus said, and asked
to see a cheap watch displayed In the
window. When the Jeweler returned to
the counter with the watch he looked up
Into the muzzle of a revolver. Three other
highwaymen darted In before he could
make an outcry and stunned him with
the butts of their revolvers. They looted
the safes as he lay unconscious on the
floor.

Proceedings Against Kansas City
Publisher Held Irregular.
CONDEMNED WITHOUT HEARING
Opinion Says Lower Court, In Writ
ing; Opinion Ilefore Case Was
Called, Sought to Deprive
Defendant of nights.
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo., June 2.-The
Missouri supreme court today discharged
William It. Nelson, owner and editor of
tho Kansas City Star, from contempt of
th Jackson county circuit court The de
cision of the supreme coi'rt was unani
mous. The supremo .court hold the article pub
lished In the Star contemptuous, but or-'
dered Mr. Nelson discharged from con
tempt solely on the ground that Circuit
Judge Guthrie prepared his opinion the
night befpro the trial for contempt.
Judge Woodson, who wrote tho opinion,
held that Mr. Nelson was deprived of
his right by Judge Guthrie and con
demned without the taking of testimony
to a hearing on the part of the accused.
He also found that Judge Guthrie, in
preparing his finding the night before Mr.
Nelson was hailed Into court, violated
a plain and fundamental rule of right
and sought to deprive the prisoner of his
rights without process of law.
Article In Contemptuous.
The court further said: "Wo are
clearly of the opinion that the publication
was not literally 1 nor substantially true,
but It Is highly contemptuous to both the
court and the Judge thereof. The prin
cipal question presented by this record
is: 'Was the publication of tho article
contemptuous of division No. 1, of said
court and of the Judge presiding therein?'
"We are unanimously of the opinion
that this question must be answered In
the affirmative and Judging from the
mode of trial pursued by counsel for
petitioner (Colonel Nelson) they mrlst
have entertained the same conviction for
they are unwilling to let the article
speak for Itself, but Introduced much
evidence for the purpose of showing that
no contempt was In fact intended, not
withstanding its scandalous charges."
Ityrmt for Lower Court.
Judge Woodson, elaborating on the trial
of Mr. Nelson for contempt, called Jt a
"pretended hearing."
"I uso the words 'pretended hearing
advisedly," says the opinion, "because no
disinterested and unbiased mind can
come to any other conclusion from read
ing the record, but that the real trial
took place on the night of January 31,
and that the proceedings had In the court
