THE BEE: OMAHA, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 21 1917.
& BEET SDGAR TO SELL
' ' '."
). . International Committee ia
f; -Named to Arrange for Dis
tribution to United
States and Allies.
(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."
Casual Camp Established
For Men at Camp Cody
' Camp Cody, Deming, N. M., Sept.
21. In order to protect more closely
th general good health of the Ne
braskans, Minnesotans, lowans and
Dakotjtns, as well as the. regular army

here, in which place all new men will
be examined to see they are free from
communicable - disease,. 'before' they
take their assignments.
AH the troops are being checked to
determine if they have received the
typhoid, paratyphoid and smallpox
preventive serums. None will be sent
to the battle fields until they have
been made immune from these dis
eases. '''..
The health of the .troops here is re
ported to be excellent. There are less
than one per cent of them sick at any
time, which-is said to be lower than
the usual minimum. Captain O. A.
Davis, commanding at the base hos
pital said none are seriously jll. Ma
jor General A. P. Blocksom and other
officer! are, gratified at the absence
of disorder' among the men since the
Deming. saloons were closed. The
closing of the saloons here has helped
greatly in abolishing the social evil.

PARLIAMENT OF
. 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. ' ' -
Pope's Second Peace .
t Note Now Forthcoming
Paris, Sept. 21. A Rome dispatch
to the Temps says that it seems to be
confirmed that Pope Benedict will
send another note containing peace
proposals to the belligerent powers
toward the end of September. The
newspaper's advice adds that the note
will be more specific and enter into
greater details than the recent one,-
Three Years to Paint
Giant Quebec Bridge
Quebec, Sept. 21. 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.
(Br AMlatod Preas.)
Chicago, Sept. 21. The city's legal
department, in an opinion published
tonight, justified Mayor Thompson in
permitting the public meeting here re
cently of the Peoples' Council of
America for Democracy" and Terms
of Peace, after Governor Lowden had
forbidden the organization to hold
meetings in the state.
The opiniqn was approved by Sam
uel A. Ettelson, corporation counsel,
and was rendered, ft was stated, at
the request of Mayor Thompson. Its
essence was that the mayor would
act illegally in prohibiting any public
meeting, on the assumption that it
was going to be an- illegal one. The
constitution of the United States was
quoted at length to insure members of
the council right of free speech.

, (Br Awoclated Preit.)
Austin, Tex., Sept. 21. Despite a
large affirmative vote that he disclose
to the senate high court of impeach
ment all the circumstances surround
ing his borrowing of $156,000 in cur
rency this year, Governor James E,
Ferguson this evening refused to

The governor said he intended no
disrespect to the court, jvhich had
voted, 23 to 7, that he should answer
a long series of questions propounded
by M. M, Crane, counsel for the house
board of managers.
"But," he added, "I believe honest
ly and candidly that I have the con
stitutional right to decline to fur
nish this information. I don't believe
any court invthe land will hold me
guilty of contempt."
Following the governor's state
ment, Mr. Crane turned him over to
W. A. Hanger, for redirect examina
tion. After a few questions concern
ing the state university matter and
the Temple State oank, recess was
taken until morning, with the pros
pect that all evidence will be in some
time tomorrow. .

One Dead, Several Injured
In Headon Collision in East
Benton Harbor, Mich., Sept 21.
One man is dead, several others are
believed to have been killed and at
least fifteen persons were injured in
a headon collision of a passenger and
freight train on; the Pere Marquette
railroad at Riverside, seven miles
northeast of here, tonight. 1
(Br AMOfflated Frewi.)
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.
