In the basement an intruder suddenly appeared. "Where's Miss Gould?" the stranger demanded. There was a struggle in which the Intruder made further inquiries and threats as to Aliss Gould. Sheldon cried out for help and the desperado shot him and escaped. When Miss Gould learned gf the assault upon young Sheldon, she hurriedly engaged private detectives and sent them to the scene of the shooting in her own automobile. Dean Snow offered a reward of *200 for the apprehension of Sheldon's slayer. Miss Gould is a cousin of Miss Snow, and frequently spent the night In the Snow home when on her way to arid from Irvington. She called at the Snow home on Tilesday evening.

UNKNOWN SI This seems an unfair burden to impose on a single article, , irtieuli.rly as that article is a necessity in v very household in the country. There is one phase of the sugar situation to which the Bureau of Statistics docs not and of course cannot call attention. That is the price of the commodity as affected by the tnriff. The official returns from 1S9S to 1907, inclusive, show the importation of $821,000,000 wortih of sugar, on which $549,000,000 was collided in the form of duties. This is a small fraction .short of (»7 per cent ad valorem a id puts this necessary lieu: ehold article into the class of our most heavily taxed commodities. Coffee is free, and any attempt to. transfer it to the dutiable list meetto with widespread and fully justified protest, yet in the national grocery bills the cost of sugar is three times the cost of coffee. In the total of the last ten years sugar has paid more than one-fifth of our customs revenues, or in round figure.-; $550,000,- G00 out of a total of $2,500,000,000. The Bureau of Statistics of I he department of Commerce an.l Labor has issued a statement of the sugar consumption in the country. It gives the figures for 1S>07, the latest year for which full returns are available, as a little more than seven billion pounds, or 82.G pounds for every man, woman and child in the country. This is double the per capita consumption of thirty years ago, when the price was twice what it now is. Some of the increase is probably due to the greater general prosperity prevailing during recent years, but the price hds undoubtedly been the larger factor.

SIOCK BROKERS SUSPENDED Samuel Qompers made reply to the court for himself and his associates when asked why sentence should not be passed. He said he accepted the sentence as pronounced; defended organized labor in its rights and was quite dramatic. Mitchell and Morrison en-dorsed Oomper's sentiments. "1 believe that the habit of the saturates th»- people with a readiness to abide by authority, as I believe that this very readiness to yield to jaujthorlty has undone .them before now, through the errors of misguiding leaders, swollen by pigmy power." "Xo 'right' to publish either the libel or the slander can be sustained, except upon thy theory of a 'right' to do 'wrong'. "Who can be persuaded that the penalizing of false and malicious libels upon the integrity of honorable men, or slanders upon the character of chaste women, is an outrage upon 'the constitutional rights' of the vllitier?"Whatever in wanting, print or speech violates a legal right of another is unlawful, whether in itself or alone it accomplishes that result, or whether it be but one instrument in a concert tuned to that end. "Are decrees of courts to look for their execution to the supremacy of law. or tumble in the wake of unsuccessful suitors who overstep them and lay about the matter with their own hands, In turbulence, proportioned to the frenzy of their disappointment?"Justice Wright's arraignment of the labor leaders and others who criticise the decision of Federal courts is severe in the extreme. Among other things h said: "President Rooseveit is too good a politician to let such an opportunity pass him by, as he will have, should the higher court order the labor leaders sent to prison." "If the Court cf Appeals upholds the decision against the Federation chiefs,'' said a well known labor leader today, "I believe the President will take a hand and pardon the defenda nts. Mitchell martyrs and persecuted by Federal authorities for an unfortunate political stand. This would b» a greater burden than is desired to load upon Mr. Taft, whose hope is to cut labor' organizations free from political intrigue. The President is considering what step he can take. He believes Mitchell guilty by construction, it is said. Gompers issued the offending publication. Mitchell did not know of its contents. Back of' it all is the n.i-w'llingness of the President that labor men over the country should be permitted to think Gompers and Only last spring Mitchell was the big labor man at the great gatherings of Governors and scientists called by the President to confer over national conservation. Had Mitchell not followed Gompers into the Bryan camp and against Taft, in the recent fight, it Is said here he could have had the best that President Roosevelt or Mr. Taft could have given him. President llooseveit has been appealed to by the miners' union to avert the blow, on John Mitchell, who with Samuel Gompers and Frank Morrison yesterday were sentenced to compelled to spend a term in jail, that fact alone would serve to advance the cause of organized labor as nothing else could do. lafory in character, expressing the belief that if the: e leaders should be port, and some were even congratu- All the communications offered sup- rison to jail.

UNKNOWN SI This seems an unfair burden to impose on a single article, , irtieuli.rly as that article is a necessity in v very household in the country. There is one phase of the sugar situation to which the Bureau of Statistics docs not and of course cannot call attention. That is the price of the commodity as affected by the tnriff. The official returns from 1S9S to 1907, inclusive, show the importation of $821,000,000 wortih of sugar, on which $549,000,000 was collided in the form of duties. This is a small fraction .short of (»7 per cent ad valorem a id puts this necessary lieu: ehold article into the class of our most heavily taxed commodities. Coffee is free, and any attempt to. transfer it to the dutiable list meetto with widespread and fully justified protest, yet in the national grocery bills the cost of sugar is three times the cost of coffee. In the total of the last ten years sugar has paid more than one-fifth of our customs revenues, or in round figure.-; $550,000,- G00 out of a total of $2,500,000,000. The Bureau of Statistics of I he department of Commerce an.l Labor has issued a statement of the sugar consumption in the country. It gives the figures for 1S>07, the latest year for which full returns are available, as a little more than seven billion pounds, or 82.G pounds for every man, woman and child in the country. This is double the per capita consumption of thirty years ago, when the price was twice what it now is. Some of the increase is probably due to the greater general prosperity prevailing during recent years, but the price hds undoubtedly been the larger factor.
