(By AuoalaUd Fru.) Washington, Sept. 21. Beet sugar producer! in conference with the food administration, today reached mn unanimous agreement under whjch the stable retail price of sugar will be about 8 cents a pound. They will sell to wholesalers at eastern refining points at 7 cents a pound, cane basis, and. the retail price, it was stated, would normally be not more than $4 -cent higher. At the same time the food adminis tration announced that an interna tional , committee of five had been named to arrange for the purchase and distribution of the vast quantities of sugar needed by the United States and allied countries. This committee, acting through the food administration under - authority of President Wilson's proclamation plac ing the sugar industry in this coun try under license, will control a large proportion of the world's sugar out put. , Americans and British On Committee. George M. Rolph, head of the food administration's sugar division; Earl D. Babst, president of the American Sugar Refining company, and William A. Jamison, of Arbuckle Brothers, are the American members of the commit te. The allied nations are repre sented by Sir Joseph, White-Todd and James V, Drake, sr., British sugar men. Details of the sugar distributing panl will be worked out by a food administration committee, consisting of H. A. Douglas, Detroit; E. C. Howe, Denver; W. H. Hannam, San Francisco; S. H. Love, Salt Lake City; W, S. Petriken, Denver: S. W. Sinehemer, Huntington Beach, Cal., and W. P. Turner, Detroit. Cuban Is Consulted. Inclusion -of the Wff Cuban cane sugar producing interests in the allied distributing scheme will be discussed with the food administration tomor row by the Cuban minister, Dr. Manuel De Cespedes. Cuba's partici pation in the plan is expected, particu larly in view of the government's power, to prevent importation by re fusing licenses to producers not agree ing to the uniform price. American cane sugar representatives, it is believed, will take action 'similar to that of the beet sugar men within a week. Most cane producers already have agreed to a 7J4-cnt price or its equivalent, but this is not regarded as final until the decision is unani mous. The objections of about 10 per cent of the best sugar men to the low price were composed at final confer ence today. Effective October 1 in, West. The new sugar price will become effective in the west, October 1, when the 1917- crop reaches the refineries and in the east about two weeks later The present price of beet sugar to wholesalers is ' about 8.4 senta a pound. r; . "This patriotic acilon on the part of the beet sugar producers of the United States," said a food adminis tration statement tonight, "demon strates conclusively the value of this, industry to the country in coming fprward with lowpri-ts at a time when sugar naturally-would be sell ing at much higher levels."

CANADAADJOURHS Session Which Gave Franchise to Female Relatives of Over Seas Troops Ends Eight . Months 'Activity. l (By Asuocluted Press.) Ottawa, Sept. 21. The last season of the twelfth Parliament of Canada ended late today when the governor general, the duke of Devonshire, gave assent to legislation enacted and de clared Parliament prorogued. , The session had lasted eight months, during which many impor tant matters have been decided. To meet the expenses f Canadian war operations $350,000,000 was voted. Conscription was enacted to provide 100,000 reinforcements for Canadian troops in the 6eld. Prime Minister Borden unsuccess fully endeavored to induce Sir Wilfrid Lauder to join with him in the for mation of a coalition government. This failing, and application "ioc ex tension of the term? of Parliament having been rejected, arrangements were made for election by enacting a bill providing votes for soldiers over seas aid in Canada. A wartime elections act was passed extending the franchise to wives, mothers; sisters and daughters of Canadian soldiers overseas, while the right to vote was j withdrawn from aliens from enemy! countries whose Canadian naturalization, is of less than fifteen years' standing. These measures, it is calculated, will give a military vote of not less than 1.000,- 000. , The election is to be held before Christmas. It was announced that the first class of conscripts, comprising un married men between 20 and 34 years of age, will be called immediately to the colors.

The central span of the Quebec cantilever bridge was successfully bolted into place this afternoon, linking to gether the arms of the largest bridge of its kind in the world. The hoisting operation began last Mon day and the span, which weighs 5, 000 tons, was lifted by hydraulic jacks a distance of 150 feet from pontoons on the St. Lawrence river. An effort last year to raise a similar span in place resulted in dis aster when the link slipped from its supports, causing fourteen deaths, and in 1907 a bridge in the same place collapsed when it was prac tically complete, killing seventy. The successful completion of the bridge will mean fulfillment of a fifty year engineering dream. It will be some months before trains can be run over the structure as there is much detail work to be car ried out. The running time between Halifax and Winnipeg will then be reduced half a day, One detail is the painting of the bridge which, it is estimated, wiU take three years and cost $35,000, LEGAL DEPARTMENT DPHOLDSTHOMPSON Puts Stamp of Approval on Mayor's Action Regarding Re. cent Permission for Meet ing Given Pacifists.

Oklahoma, City, Okl.. Sept. 21. Wheaf is being fed to live stock as a substitute for corn in many counties of northeastern Oklahoma and pend ing governmental action, very little additional wheat will -be marketed from these counties at the price fixed by the food administration, according to a statement tonight by the state board of agriculture. The action of the farmers is due to a number of causes, chief of which is the scarcity ot corn for feeding purposes, coupled with 'the fact that the farmer feels the government has placed an arbitrary price upon his product at a time when the law of sup ply and demand is in his favor, with out at the same time fixing the prices of other articles for his consumption, the statement ssys, Little Corn Raised. "First hand information of wheat being fed to stock in Blaine and Woods counties has been received at this office," the statement continues, "in the form of reports from county agents. Very little eorn has been raised in northwestern Oklahoma, with one county reporting a 3, per cent crop, "With corn worth $2.25 'a bushel, and wheat bringing from $1.80 to $1.95 at the elevator, the farmers are using wheat for fattening hogs, their relative food values being almost identical, "In Woods county farmers are feed ing wheat as the cheapest food they have. Little wheat will be sold until the price is raised, the county agents report. The government has not fixed the price of corn. Farmer Treated Unfairly. "According to( these' reports, the farmer who, be it understood, is as loyal as any other citizen and as anx ious torhclp win the war, feels that he is being deprived of a righteous profit from his product while others are allowed to insist on 'war profits' without governmental interference." The situation was brought to the attention of J.'M. Aydelotte, chair man of the State Council of Defense. "While there is an apparent fal lacy," Mr. Aydelt'tte said, in feeding hogs wheat in Blaine county and holding 'wheatless days' in Oklahoma City, 100 miles away, I see no chance of relieving the situation. That is a matter clearly within Mr Hoover's jurisdiction." While no reliable statistics are available, agricultural authorities agree that approximately 60 per cent or 18,000,000 bushels of the 1917 wheat crop remains on Oklahoma farms.
