DOES NOT FAVOR A SUGAR BOUNTY Nebraska Senator Says Drawback Should Not CGo to Planters. Favors Turning Over Any Re- bates Given to Cuban Government. Special Dispatch to The Call. CALL BUREAU, 1406 G STREET, N. W., WASHINGTON, Jan. 8.—The beet sugar men have at last come to the con- clusion that they cannot oppose tariff con- cessions to Cuba without precipitating the annexaticn of the islands to the United States. Oxnard has agreed with Frank Pavey, Who represents the Cuban sugar planters, to advocate a bill granting a drawback of not exceeding 50 per cent of the tariff on Cuban sugar for one year. The beet sugar men are not agreed upon this proposition, but Oxnard is willing to accept such legislation for one year as a means of helping the Cuban planters out of their deplorable condition. It is a modi- fication of Oxnard’s proposition made ten cent on Cuban sugar. That proposition was so ridiculous that Oxnard could per- suade no one in Congress to father it. He has now agreed with Pavey to another proposition, which will not meet with ap- proval in Congress for the reason it would involve the Government in almost as dan- gerous an experiment as that of paying a bounty to foreign producers as a means of protecting those at home. It is simply another effort to check the movement in favor of reciprocal trade re- lations with Cuba. That movement has become so strong that the Ways and Means Committee has been forced to take recognition of it and get ready to prepare a bill authorizing the President to grant a 25 per cent reduction on Cuban sugar and tobacco when the Cuban Government is ready to grant reciprocal reductions in its tariff against American products. The sentiment in favor of such concessions to Cuba has grown in the Senate and House. e beet sugar men are not united in support of Oxnard’s plan. The Michigan and California members of the House have resolved to oppose all concessions. Senator Dietrich of Nebraska announces his opposition to all drawbacks, as wel! as to concessions to be paid to the Cuban planters. Dietrich says he will not oppose the drawback on Cuban sugar if it iIs paid to the Cuban Government. He says: The cost of producing raw sugars, as com- pared with the refined product, is 93 per cent, or in other words, in $100 worth of refined | sugar_$93 of that is for the raw material and only $7 for the refining. I am favorable to the proposition to make & rebate on the sugars and tobaccos from Cuba whether it be 25 or 50 per cent, but in- sist that it shall be turned over to the Cuban | Government to be used by it, and not turned over to the planters, as is being advocated by_some. By turning this rebate into the Cuban treas- ury the people of that island will take the responsibility for its expenditure, and it they deem it wise to directly ald the growers of tobacco and sugar, they can do so. Now that {Cuba is an independent nation, I hold the TUnited States have no right to pay elther bounty or rebate to any of the particular in- dustries cf that country. FARO SWINDLERS TO BE VIGOROUSLY PROSECUTED Martin Kelly and Jerome Bassity Give Bonds for “Patsy” Carroll. An attempt to have “Patsy” Carroll re- leased 0n a writ of habeas corpus failed yesterday. The matter was brought be- fore Judge Lawlor, but Attorney W. H. L. Barnes, representing Carroll, moved that the writ be dismissed. and it was so ardered and the prisoner remanded. | Barnes admitted that the police had shown cause for holding the defendant. A. Miller, the hotel man of Nome, who lost $1500 at faro, is determined to vigor- ously prosecute Carroll, Lane, Sutton and Stickney, alias Fagenbush, on the charge of grand larceny, and has engaged the services of ex-Judge Ferral to specially prosecute the case.

The Real Cause of Dandruff and Bald- ness. At one time dandruff was attributed to be the result of a feverish condition of the scalp, which threw off the dried cuti- cle in scales. Professor Unna, Hamburg, Germany, noted authority on skin diseases, explodes this theory and says that dandruff is a germ disease. This germ is really responsible for the dandruff and for so many bald heads. It can be cured if it is gone about in the right way. The right way, of course, and the only way, is to kil the germ.

GERMAN STATESMEN CONCUR IN ROAST OF CHAMBERLAIN Utterances of Chancellor Von Bulow Concerning the British Colonial Secretary Arouse Wrath in London. ERLIN, Jan. *5.—During the course of the debate on estimates in the Reichstag to-day several members welcomed- the ®ccasion to express their personal concur- rence in Chancellor von Bulow’s views on Chamberlain’s atterance. In behalf of the Liberal People's party, Herr Richter in- dorsed the Chancellor’s rebuke, He sald the incident served to demonstrate that in national questions all Germans are of one mind. “We know our army,” added Herr Rich- ter, “and we know what Chamberlain is like. But enough of him; we have more important things to attend to.” Wail of British Press. LONDON, Jan. 9.—The stinging rebuke administered to Chamberlain, the British Colonial Secretary, by Chancellor von Bu- low in the Reichstag at Berlin yesterday for the references in Chamberlain’s speech at Edinburgh October 25 last to the conduct of the German army in_the war with France in 1§70-71, has caused in- tense and widespread irritation here and bas markedly increased the bitterness in the Anglo-German discord. The St. James Gazette, which calls Count von Bulow a “swaggering Pharisee,” says: RS DR i LR e “His offensive speech has brought the growing irritation between the two coun- tries into a' dangerous sphere and tha Kaiser's telegram of some years ago was not more disastrous to mutual good re- lations than the studied affront on a Bril- ish statesman who is trusted by the coun- try and by him in the country itself. Our attitude of easy tolerance is no longer compatible with our dignity as a nation. Even if Von Bulow has been the head of — a republican Ministry, dependent for its life on fickle popular opinion, there would have been little excuse for his gross per- version of facts and breach of interna- tional comity.” Disaster Is Predicted. The St. James Gazette concludes with the expression of belief that the ‘“phar- saical impertinence of the German presz is profoundly distasteful to the Kaiser, L e e e St e S SR B S RMLROADS GNE SPECIAL RATES Favored Grain Handling Firm s of Kansas City . Benefited. KANSAS CITY, Mo., Jan. 9.—The Inter- state Commerce Commissioners spent six hours here to-day and examined , seven witnesses regarding grain rates from ‘Western points to Atlantic seaboard and other Eastern destinations. They re- turned to Chicago to-night, after an- nouncing that the investigation would be resumed in that city January 24, when it is believed several big railway officials will be cailed. The expected rush of railroad officials and grain shippers to-day to confess that they had made and recelved freight re- bates or cut rates did not occur. In fact, ‘whi information was elicited was ob- tained only after persistent questioning on the part of the Commissioners. The most direct admission was that of John A. Robinson of the firm of Hall & Rob- | inson of Kansas City, which controls the export grain business of the Missouri Pa- cific. Robinson admitted that W. C. Stith, freight traffic manager of the Mis- souri Pacific, made him a rate on export grain to New Orleans of from 3 to 5 cents per hundred lower than the published ex- port tariff. Other testimony went to show that Kansas City was made to suffer from discrimination by the through lines be- cause of an arbitrary rate on grain in ef- fect here. Only three/ members of the commission attended the hearing—Judson C. Clements of Georgla, Charles A. Prouty of Vermont and James D. Yeomans of Iowa. How Competition Is Destroyed. W. P. Trickett, head of the Kansas City Transportation Bureau, the first witness, said the arbitrary proportionate and dif- ferential grain rates as they obtain on goods shipped from Kansas City east place Kansas City at a disadvantage.—- He said that the through grain lines, which | were the Santa Fe, Missouri Pacific and Rock Island, each had special grain rep- resentatives in the person of certain grain firms and that these firms could afford to pay a higher rate than other gramn men, as they undoubtedly receive conces- sions from the railroads. Such a system, he said, had been in vogue since about 1896, and it had destroyed competition. J. A. Robinson of Hall & Robinson, grain commission merchants, which firm Trickett had testified was the represen- tative here of the Missouri Pacific Rail- road, declared his firm had never re- ceived money for rebates or as a conces- slon from the railroad or from any other source, directly or indirectly, during the past three years. His firm, he said, held a definite g&nd not an elastic rate with the Missouri_Pacific. Fred Hoose, local representative of Richardson & Co. of Chicago, was the next witness. Trickett had testified that this firm was the representative of the Santa Fe Railroad and Hoose was asked if this were a fact. He declared he had no knowledge of any arrangement by which his firm had any special advantage or concession from that railway. He ad- mitted that of two million bushels of grain handled by his firm in Kansas dur- ing the past yeat the Santa Fe received all but 250,000 bushels. But this was sim- ply because the Santa Fe ran through bet- ter grain country. Forced to Pay Arbitrary Rates. H. G. Kalll, assistant gerferal ht agent of the Union Paclgc Ha.llwn‘;.dfhe first witness at the afternoon session, was accompanied by L. H. Loomis, who repre- sented the railway as attorney. Kalll was questioned about the Midland Elevator | Company of Kansas City, Kan. Grain consigned to the Midland Elevator Com- pany, he said, was billed to Kansas City, Kan., with the right to be shipped on east into any State and went forward at the proportionate rate. Commissioner Prouty thought this state- ment preposterous, saying that it forced the consignor to pay the arbitrary rate in force in Kansas City unnecessarily. The Commissioners tried to bring ouf the fact that the existence of the Midland Elevator Company was a subterfuge to evade the interstate commerce law and that Eastern destination was intended Wwhen grain was first consigned and that a lay-over hére means the application of the arbitrary rate of one cent on a hun- dred pounds, which justified the suspicion that an underhand motive exists. Allis interposed to say that such conclu- slons were unfair and to declare that his road was acting in good faith. He an- nounced that he feit it his duty to in- struct the witnegs to refuse to answer fur- ther questions until the matters at issue were judiclally determined. Certain Elevators Are Favored The Commissioners informed Loomis that he and his witness must assume the responsibility and Kaill continued to an- swer questions. Kalll admitted that his road paid to the elevator a cent and a quarter per hundred for all grain unload- ed, but said this was for unloading the cars expeditiously whepy cars were in great demand. It was tife transfer charge, he said, that they paid to all elevators. J. E. Seager, manager of the Midland Elevator Company, testified that of eigh- teen million bushels of grain consigned to Kansas City over the Union Pacific last year six million bushels went into his ele- vator, but denied that that railway favors this particular elevator. All of the six million bushels handled by the elevator had gone East. M. C. Eagley of the Santa Fe Rallway sald he knew of no private arrangement between Richardson & Co. and his road, and insisted that his road gave no favors. He would not admit that the arbitrary rate was enforced to maintain through rates. He admitted, however, that while the arbitrary rate existed from all Mis- souri River points it was not enforced at St. Louis, Chicago, Memphis or New Or- leans. He admitted that there was a gen- eral belief that the Santa Fe makes con- cessions to Richardson & Co.

ARMY MATTERS IN PRILIPPINES Secretary Root Explains Conditions of Affairs on }:ha Islands. ‘WASHINGTON, Jan. 9.—Secretary Root gave an interesting exposition of the con- dition of affairs in the Philippines, to- gether with the outlook for terminating military by civil rule, in the course of a hearing to-day before the House Com- mittee on Military Affairs, in connection with the army appropriation bill. The meeting was behind closed doors and no exact statement of Root's remarks was given out, aithougn the following is ua- derstood to embody the more essential features: The discussion of the Philippine condl- tions was brought out by a question by Hay of Virginia as to whether civil gov- ernment could be maintained in the isl- ands without the presence of the army. In reply Root stated that the army was necessary as a moral force to maintain the civil administration now established. ®ne of the main causes, he sald, why there had not been more progress in the Philippines was that the Spooner amend- ment, passed by Congress last year and restricting the grant of franchises, had the effect of preventing the investment of capital and the consequent employment of labor. Many people were idle and many of these became conspirators simply be- cause they were idle. The Secretary in- stanced the fact that, although rice was one of the main products of the Philip- ines, yet about $5,000,000 worth of rice garl to be imported last year. In this and many other branches of industries the wheels of industry were not moving, the people out of employment were en- couraged In viclousness and as a result it was necessary to keep some 40,000 troops in the islands. In some provinces a very satisfactory edministration had been set up. But Root pointed out that even In provinces where_ civil government had been a suc- cess there were men conspiring to assist in the agitation and warfare carried on in neighboring provinces. On the whole, however, the Secretary expressed the be- llef that ff Congress enacted the bill pro- posed by Senator Lodge or that of Rep- resentative Cooper of Wisconsin, provid- ing systems of laws for the Philippines, it would be possible soon thereafter grad- ually to reduce the military establish- ment in the Philippines. He did not be- lieve it would be a rapid or complete ter- mination of military rule, as the condi- tions among natives were firmly fixed and it would take much time to bring about the new order of affairs. Root said that better progress had been made In the last year than had been expected, and he ex- pressed the opinion that civilization ulti- mately would be extended to the people of the islands. To illustrate this point ke said the Philippine people had been in effect living under a_sixteenth century government and the United States want- ed to give them a twentieth century gov- ernment. The_situation in Cuba was discussed only briefly, as Root remarked that we were simply trustees there, whereas our interest in the Philippines was much more definite and extended, particularly over the large sweep of public lands. Root also stated during the hearing that it was the expectation of the War Depart- ment to do away with the army trans- port service so that the transportation of froops thereafter would be carried on by private concerns, Some question had been raised by members of the committee as to the propriety of an item in the bill of $1,000,000 for emergency expenses of the War Department. The Secretary the amount was unnecessary and had been estimated through oversight, so that the committee doubtless will omit this emergency fund from the bill. Mines Shut Down in Spain.

NEW YORK, Jan. 9.—Most of those in- Jured In yesterday’'s New York Central tunnel accident are reported resting well to-day. As the Disttict Attorney has commen¢€d an investigation to determine the cause of and responsibiiity for the wreck, the railroad officials have definite- ly postponed their investigation and ll present all the facts in their possession to the county prosecutor. p Another investigation will pfobably be made by President Cantor of the Borough of Manhattan. Mr. Cantor said to-day: 1 will confer with the corporation counsel regarding my authority over tunnels exclustve- Iy used by raiiroads. I am not fully satisfied as 10 my power in this matter. As investiga- tions are being made by the District Attorney, the Coroner and the Stats Commissioner of Rallroads, I thought it best to find out my authority before 1 attempted an investigation of my own. My opinion is that it electricity had been used by the rallroad the accident would not have happened. 1 visited the scene of the wreck at 9:30 last night, I watched the trains passing through the tdnnel. The volumes of smoke from the locomotives filled the tunnel so that it was im- possible to discern the lights. District Attorney Jerome said he wishes his investigation to be as thorough as sible, and that he would confer with Cor. oner Scholer to that end. In New Rochelle, where all but one of the dead live, business was almost en- tirely suspended to-day. Of those hurt, twenty-nine lived in New Rochelle, and numbers of their relatives spent the night in or near the hospitals. To-day several of the bodies of the dead were taken to New Rochelle. The District Attorney’s inquiry was held behind closed doors. Five witnesses were examined during the forenoon session. They were Division Superintendent Franklin, keman Bar- num, Engineer Doherty, F'ireman Sweeney of the Norwalk train and_A. C. Cohler of the White Plains local. They all refused to disclose what had transpired behind the closed doors. The inquest will be begun a week from to-day If the District Attorney finishes with the witnesses by that time.” John Wischow, the engineer of the White Plains local, which ran into the South Norwalk train, was said to be in a “aée of almost nervous collapse in prison to-day.
