In the Sugar Market
(By Thomson & McKinnon) NEW YORK. July 29.—Under the heading of "too much susar,” the Journal of Commerce this morninfr editorially attempts to define the troubles which have confronted the industry in Cuba. Governmental tariffs and bounties are (riven the blame. Os more immediate concern, however. is the ability of prnduciise and refining companies to market their suftar at more, favorable prices, under tlie existing . conditions. They are gradually working into a better position and 1 think you will see a reflection of this in the futures market.

Trap For years the structure has been declared a fire trap. The county grand jury, in its last report, recommended it be torn down. The rooms are "dingy with age and unfit for occupation even by the stranded human- beings who are forced to live In them,” the fcrand jury’s report said. i Tlie council appropriated the money for tearing down the building. hut neglected to provide a place for the inmates, who are quartered on tlie first apd second, floors. The top two floors are the ones that will be renovated under ahe commissioners' plans. They are in a far nior& deplorable condition than the rooms criticised by the grand jury. > ' Should Tear It Down According to J. V, Carter, superintendent. the best way of solving the problem would be to tear down the old structure, use the material for additions to the modern structures at the farm and house the inmates in a tent while the construction is under way. As commissioners have no definite plans for,the repairs, the aged In mutes housed in the oid building, a four story brick structure, wilj be forced to' live in conditions which the grand jnry branded a disgrace to the county, for' several more months. County council. <*hlch does not meet until September, niust appropriate fuilds-Jor the Farm Overcrowded Tlie farm gradually ig being overcrowded, according to Councilman Otis Dodson. Dobson declared the township trustees are responsible for sending the large number of inmates to the institution. About 70 per cent of them come from Center Township,. J. .V. Carter, superintendent, said. There are now about 320 inmates ip the institution, which is more than were housed there last winter. Carter said. About 160 of these inmates live in the first and second floors of the old building, it was said. "It's a shame the way that institution is being loaded with people,” said Dodson. "When the council ap propriated tlwt money it was with the understanding that the building should be torn down at o'nce, out after b’elng out there I find it can’t he done. We must now appropriate money to make temporary repairs to take care of this influx.” Fart Beyond Repair Carter said that the third and fourth floors are beyopd repair. During \he winter it is impossible to heat all of-%he-old building, he said. Councilman George Montgomery declared the old building should be razed now. He declared that, in view they have been condemned and are fire traps, that they should not be considered for further use. MAN TRJES SUICIDE Shoots Self Through Chest—Despondent Over 111 Health.

CAR MEN DECLARE STRIKE TOGO ON (Continued From Page 1) ploymeut of the company, but Y°ti have m right to interfere with the rights of others to riile ,on cars.” Judge Baltzell told Fade. The following men will be sentenced by Judge Baitzell Friday: Armstrong. Parker, MeTvin McNew, ! Everett Tally, Joe Wiggington. Fade, Edgar Day, John Frakes, Everett j Ellis and Russell Bane. Two men. cited for contempt, have not bepn apprehended. Thbse turned above have either pleaded guilty to the contempt (Marges or have found guilty either by Vhe court or' a jury. Papers requesting that Harry. Boggs, president of the local car men's union, be brought here from Parkersburg, IV. Va., were sent this morning by United States Attornej Albert Ward.

They were charged w*ith violating the in\ junction of July 3. which prohibited j them from interfering with the o'per■ation of Indianapolis Street Railway 'cars. The strike was called the-qiorn-ing. of July 5. " * v Petition for the appeal and moves to obtain'the bond will be the defense's play in FederaC Court b riday Edgar Day, ptriking car employe, 2241 Kenwood Ave., was found guilty of contempt in a jury trial Wednesday afternoon. The jury returned 'after eight minutes’-* deliberation. Day was charged with holding a. meeting at his house, where various act.▼of violence were planned. Based on Speech *>*. Conviction of Parker and fAtnistrong was practically based oti speech made by Parker at the s'rike vote meeting, July 5. Judge Baltzell took special note of Parker’s talk in which he spoke how many injunctions l.e had at bis home and that he had read more of them than street car company attorneys and the court. "These men have made some broad statements in their speeches," the court stated. "I don’t see how any lawyer can honestly say there was no vioffttion of the injunction in these speeches." As soon as the court's finding was made, only a few minutes after the close of the case, William C Bacheider, counsel for the men, asked for bond. Ward was on his feet immediately objecting to the move. "These men are directly chargeable for violence,” Ward declared. "Thatt is not an issue in this case,” the court corrected. Given to Marshal "If these men are released their will contintio to encourage strikers and intend the meetings,” Ward declared. "They liavs once flouted the court’s order. this they have forfeited thpir right to liberty." The court then pronounced that the men should be taken in the custody of the United States marshal, Linus P. Meredtith', and held In jail without bond. Farkecjs speech at the meeting was read In part as evidence for the defense, by Norman Metcalf, shorthand reporter, who was called to the meeting by the union organizers. Russell and Joseph Fort, employed by Parker and Armstrong, to organize the men, testified that Parker and Armstrong made no remarks to the union men about taking employed men from the street cars and being to the meetings. The Fort brothers, declared from the witness stand that they were discharged from union employe July 3, the day when the injunction was issued, and had received ho remuneration except, $5 each in strike benefits, since that time. 1 Discharged by Organizers Curtis Johnson and Jesse, Young', employed by. Parker and ACmstrAg. who the defense showed to be stool pigeons for tlie street car cOmpftiy, said they had received a letter of discharge from -44ie organizers, but were told "it was really a pretense.” Tlie Forts declared they were witnesses to the discharge of Johnson and Y'pung. and Parker and Armstrong made no references to the letter being mexely a pretense. ■ Other defense witnesses during the afternoon denied testimony of Government witnesses, that any effort was made by • the leaders to incite the men to take a strike vote.
