By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, December 30.—Three powerful forces are working to bring about equilibrium in the sugar industry, says Earl D. Babst, chairman of the board of the American Sugar Refin- ing Co. In a year-end stafement to the As- soclated Press, he describes these as the inexorable eccnomic law of supply and demand, and to a lesser degree, the effort for artificlal control of produc- tion and the stimulation of consump- tion. Looking to 1931, Mr. Babst believes present indications promise a continu- schools of thought among producers of raw sugar—those who favor government control and thcse who contend for | economic freedom. Trust Act Delays Solution. Largely as a result of the war, the sugar refining industry has a large ex- {cess capacity and Mr. Babst asserts ! that the Sherman anti-trust act has de- layed & quick solution of its problems, but points to the co-operative effort to | stimulate consumption. The refining industry has undertaken under sclentific guidance to stimulate consumption by explaining the value of sugar on the national table. More recently scientific research also has been undertaken to discover new industrial uses for sugar. Analyzing the causes of the present dilemma confronting the sugar industry throughout the world, Mr. Babst says that nearly 100 countries by special in- | ducement have stimulated sugar pro- duction, until the world has a heavy surplus. Markets Being Lost. “Moreover since 1917, a period of 113 years, sugar coming to the national | table has been under direct govern- mental _control either by Cuba or by the United States over 60 per cent of the time. Meanwhile our raw sugar- producing industry has lost markets and its owners have suffered large losses. “Owing to the Sherman act there was no way of safeguarding our sugar supplies during the war period except | by Government control, to which the industry, in the public interest, sub- | mitted voluntarily and from which all branches suffered undeservedly. Cuba contributed most to our war effort and suffered most in consequence.” YOUNG MAN HELD ON ARSON CHARGE William Adams Bound Over to Grand Jury in Connection With Fatal Fairfax Blaze. Special Dispatch to The Star. FATRFAX, Va., December 30.—Wil- liam Adams, 24 years old, of Colvin Run, who was arrested December 13 in Wash- ington on a charge of arson, has been held for the January grand jury follow- ing a hearing before Justice of the Peace Charles C. Cockerille in Fairfax. Adams has been held in jail at Fair- fax since his arrest on suspicion of im- plication in the fire which November 18 jestroyed the home of Daniel Sullivan at Colvin Run. Sullivan’s wife and three children perished in the blaze. Adams, who has recently returned from serving a_team in the State penitentiary, is alleged to have made statements in regard to the Sullivan fire, which laid him open to suspicion. ‘The suspicious circumstances sur- rounding the Sullivan fire led to an in- vestigation November 26 by State Fire Marshal J. L. Kemp, who found at that time that the fire had started from un- known causes and that there was no ewi- dence of foul play. Since the arrest of | Adams, Sheriff E.

The number of serious fires which have occurred lately in the county have raised the question as to the possibility of incendiarism.

By the Associated Press. CHICAGO, December 30.—Jack Guzik, | business manager for the Capone liquor |and vice syndicate, was sentenced to five years in Leavenworth Penitentiary land fined $17,500 by Federal Judge Charles E. Woodward today for evad- ing income tax payments. The judge | overruled & motion for a new trial. Guzik was found guilty on the income { tax charges on November 19 by a jury | which debated the verdict for seven | hours. The jury held him guilty of | willful attempts fo evade and defeat in- come tax payments for the years 1927, | 1928 and 1929. The total amount of | the evasions was fixed in the Govern- | ment’s charges at $229,000, based on | the alleged income of more than $1,000,- 000 during that period. The evidence presented at the trial ‘relfled only to Guzik's gambling ac- tivities and did not touch on the liquor traffic. Fred Ries, who served as cashier for a half dozen of the Capone-Guzik gambling houses in Cicero, was the Government's principal witness. He testified the gambling houses made an average net prefit of $25,000 to $30,000 each month. Pending seautence on this case, Guzik was tried and acquitted en a charge of vagrancy. He showed he had a large income in that case. BISHOP TO CONFIRM 16 e Special Services to Be Held at St. George's Chapel Tonight.

DAVID |, OCONNELL DIES IN BROOKLYN Democratic Representative Was 62 Years Old Christmas Day. Executive Says $1,000,000,- 000 Improvements Have Gone on Despite Slump. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, December 30.—Repre- sentative David J. O'8onnell from the ninth New York congressional district, Brooklyn, died early last night. Mr. O'Connell, Denocrat, was 62 year old Christmas day. He was born in New York and for many years has been connected with a publishing house. He was first elected to Congress in 1919 and was re-elected four times. He was a delegate to the Democratic na- tional convention in 1920. Representative O'Connell's death last night reduced the number of Demo- crats elected to the next House to 214. The recent death of Representative John F. Quayle, also of Brooklyn, had reduced the number of Democrats | elected from 216 to 215. | So the present standing as between the two parties for the Seventy-second Congress is—Republicans, 218; Demo- crats, 214; Farm-Labor, 1, and 2 va- | cancies. | Representative O'Connell was one of the organizers and the first secretary of the Allied Boards of Trade of Brooklyn. Besides his wife, Mary Agnes Green | O'Connell, to whom he was married in 1893, he is survived by two children, Walter J. O'Connell and Marion E. O'Connell. He was a member of a large number of fraternal organizations. TRIBUTE TO PULASKI P. 0.
