EXPECT HIGHER
SUGAR PRICES
IN NEAR FUTURE
Omaha Dealers Do Not Expect
Benefit From New Whole
sale 10-Cent Maxi- ,,
mum Price. 1
What effect the 10-cent maximum
price on sugar to the wholesaler,
fixed by the Department of Justice,
will have on sugar prices here, is
uncertain, according to leading
Omaha jobbers and retailers.
The 10-cent price is fixed on a
New York basis, according to H. G.
Hoel, general manager of the Mc
Cord Brady Co., and will make-the
price $10.57 3-10 a 100-pound bag to
the wholesaler in Omaha. Tri;
brings the price to the retailer to
$11.07, Mr. Hoel says.
It is Mr. Hoel's opinion that the
retailer will be forced to raise his
price, which at present is 12 cents
a pound, to at least WA cents.
Will Not Raise Prcie.
M. W. Cavanaugh, manager of the
Courtney retail grocery store, de
clared that the price would remain
at 12 cents a pound. The fixed 10
cent price will not be an incentive
for the refineries of beet sugar to
put out their products, which At
torney General Palmer has alleged
they were withholding, Mr. Cavan
augh says.
"The control of the sugar equal
ization board will cease on Janu
ary 1," said Mr. Cavanaugh. "The
refineries can then charge the whole
salers any price which they desire.
It is natural that they withhold a
part of their product."
Beet sugar refineries have not
been wantonly withholding their
product from the market, Charles
H. Pickens of the Paxton & Gal
lagher company declared. A Short
age of cars suitable for the transpor
tation of sugar has caused the slow
ness in shipping sugar from beet
refineries in the west, he said.
Shortage is Relieved.
Although uncertain as to the af
fect of the 10-cent price, jobbers and
retailers agree that the shortage of
sugar has been greatly relieved by
Nebraska beet sugar refineries which
opened recently.
An explanation for the causes of
the shortage in sugar, which was ex
perienced in all parts of the coun
try was issued on October 16, by
the statistical division of the
Omaha Canvassed by 20
Teams for Big Memorial
The "Americanization" drive of
the Roosevelt Memorial association
was officially launched in every
town and city of the United States
today. The drive will last until
Monday, the late Colonel Roose
velt's birthday.
. Omaha has been divided into IS
districts, which will be canvassed by
20 teams, led by efficient "majors."
The teams will get into action after
they have received final instructions
at an association luncheon in the
Hotel Fontenelle tomorrow.
.The teams hope to enroll every
citizen in Douglas county in the
organization, which is nonpartisan
and stands simply for Americanism
United States Sugar Equalization
board. A great increase in the de
mand is given as the principal rea
son for the shortage.
Consumption Large.
"The consumption of sugar by the
United Svates for the whole year
of 1919 will be over one-half of the
world's total exportable surplus for
1919 and over one-quarter of the to
tal world's sugar production," the
statement says.
, "Thire has been delivered to do
mesic consumption in the first nine
months of this year, almost as much
sugar 3s in the whole of 1918. 'In
1918 he consumption was 3,00,000
tons, while in the first nine months
of this year it was 3,263,000."
The statement closes with a de
bate, on the "moral" right of the
American people to take more sugar
than it has already taken from the
world's supply.

CRIMINAL CASES
IN UNPRECEDENTED
NUMBER UP HERE
Judges and Juries to Be at
Work in Three Court
Rooms.
Two men against whom indict
ments were returned by the grand
jury last Saturday have not yet been
apprehended by the police. Their
names have not been given out,
pending their arrest.
It was said that the grand jury
yesterday was investigating the case
of Leonard Weber, World-Herald
employe. Weber was arrested last
Monday and was reported by the
police to have confessed to implica
tion in the riots. Weber denied
that he had made a confession.
Preparations are being made for
criminal trials on an unprecedented
scale next Monday when the panel
of petit jurors reports.
Three court rooms will be given
over to criminal trials with three
judges, juries and prosecutors at
work continually.
This is necessary to deal with the
enormous number of cases now on
the docket and the scores of other
indictments which will be returned
by the grand jury.
It is believed that District Judges
Redick, Day and Sears will handle
the criminal trials, though this has
not been decided definitely.
Trial of civil cases will necessarily
be held up. for a time until some of
the great mass of criminal cases
have been disposed of.

New Policemen Taken
to Sequestered Spot
for Target Practice
Fifty men appointed to the po
lice department during the last two
weeks went to Fort Crook yester
day in a chartered street car to en
gage in target practice under the
direction of'iMaj. H. C. White of
Fort Omaha.
The men are being instructed in
the use of machine guns and riot
guns and are also practicing with
their new .45-caliber revolvers which
were purchased last week.
These policemen recruits have
been drilled in the Auditorium. It
was deemed advisable to take them
to a sequestered spot when learning
to shoot. The army range at the
fort offered a safe place for this
practice.
