Bronaugh. chairman of tha omclal charter revision commission. appointed by ex-Mayor Simon, will call a meeting of the committee for next Tuesday night at the city HalL The purpose of this meeting Is to re celve from the subcommittee a prelim inary draft of a commission chartes which has been completed by Mr, Bronaugh. Wtlllam F. Woodward and George B. Cellara Acting under the Instructions Incor porated In the resolution calling for lta appointment, the subcommittee haa confined Its work to composing a strict commission charter. In other words. the committee haa prepared only eucn amendments as are necessary to ad- Just the present charter to a govern ment by commission. AH extraneous matter has been excluded, the Judg ment of the subcommittee being that all proposed amendments to the char ter should be submitted Independently of the commission features and Its re port will Include that recommendation. As compiled by the committee, the tentative commission charter calls for the election of a Mayor and four Com missioners, the salary of each being fixed at 14100 per annum. It also provides for the election of the City Auditor. City Treasurer, Municipal Judge and City Attorney. The elec tion of these subordinate officials Is not approved by Mr. Bronaugh and Mr. Woodward, of the committee. This provision waa made In tha amendments that bav been drafted In accordance with tha Instructions of tha full com mission. The tentative charter will be taken np and considered In detail by the full membership of tha commission. Num erous amendments undoubtedly will be proposed since the draft Incorporates Ideas on which th 1 memDers oi in committee will be unable to agree.

Th people of Portland are desirous of adopting a commission form of government and If a conference will Insure th submis sion of only one commission charter, w should get together and see that only on 1 submitted." SALES TO DRUNK SEEN POLICE WATCHIXO GAMBLERS GAIN OTHER EVIDENCE. Grog; Shop Owner Fined $100 for Disposing of Liquor to Intox icated Loiterers. All ths Interior workings of the grog shop where derelicts In advanced stages of Intoxication are stripped of their lit tle remaining money, were seen by Po lice Sergeant Roberta and Patrolmen Griffith and Gill at th saloon of George Bur back, at Sixth and Burnslde streets. Monday night. Their complete testimony was effective In having - a fin of 1100 Imposed on the saloonkeep er yesterday In Municipal Court. The policemen were watching a gam bling house across the street and fixed upon Burback's saloon as a convenient watching place. When they first en tered they saw men in advanced drunk enness being served at the bar, but withheld their hands because action might spoil their raid across tha street. For nearly two hours, the police testi fied they were In and about tha saloon and aaw the same men served liquor repeatedly. One man. very drunk, stepped up to th bar alon -and laid down 60 cents. Without his suggestion, Burback called out. "Come on, you fellows: you can stand another one." Then, say the po licemen, the men who were sitting In the barroom In semi-stupor, started to line up at th bar. when tha arrest was made. Two of the patrons of the house were arrested aa "exhibits." and on the wit ness stand aald that they had beeo drinking In Burback's place when last they remembered. They had no recol lection of being arrested. "The men looked all right to ma," was all the defense the saloonkeeper could make. He called two witnesses, but both safd that th men were drunk and one added, 1 oouldn't see why Burback should be arrested, because it la always that way In a saloon." Acting Judge Cohen read BuroacK a sever lecture, and then. In considera tion of his past good record. Imposed th minimum fine of 1100.

Woman Helps "Cop" Handle Two Tots Runaway Three - Tear Old Drowa Police Roll Call With Their Luaty Crlea la Captor's Arms. f BEG your pardon, madam, but I I am compelled to deputize you to assist me In taking these two prison er to tha police station," said Traffics Patrolman Richards, at Second and Washington streets yesterday, while he bowed and attempted to hold in each hand a little mite of squirming, howl ing humanity. The woman halted, looked at tbe big policeman and his charges and began exercising the au thority vested in her. The prisoners were Israel Bader, aged 3, and Rebecca Halper, aged 3, who had wandered away from home and became lost in the down-town crowds. Patrolman Richards had Just dragged one of them from In front of an automobile and the excitement add ed to the volume of noise that two pairs of lusty lune:s were hurling In broadsides against the tall buildings. The children did not take to Richards deputy any more than his blue uniform and brass buttons, although she used baby talk, quite beyond the compre hension and dignity of a real police man. At the station Captain Moore had Just lined up hi relief for roll call. 'Sergeants Rlleyc Burke, waniess ' began Captain Moore. - "Wow-ee-e, - screamed Israel, as na was carried In the door. 'Smith, Jones, Brown," continued tha captain. "W ow-ee-e, chimed In Rebecca, in charg of Richards' deputy. Th relief snickered and Captain Moore grew red In the face. Tompkins. Johnson.

Rebecca lives at 226 Grant street. World's raw sugars short The Facts in the Sugar Situation THE American Sugar Refining Company, which refines 42 per cent, of the sugar used in the United States, realizes that the advance in the price of sugar is of deep concern to every consumer. Pursuant to the policy of its present management, as announced in its annual report of January 12, 1910, it recognizes "the legitimate interest which the public has in a business organization which deals in a necessity of life" and desires to state the facts which have caused the advance and its own policy in con nection therewith, The croD iust harvested in Cuba shows a shortage of about 300,000 tons from the previous crop, a direct loss in our supplies, as these sugars come to the United States almost exclusively. Loner-continued heat and drought in Europe, cor responding closely to the untoward Summer weather conditions in this country,-have so seriously impaired the growing beet sugar crops of France, Germany and Austria that estimates indicate a reduction of 1,500,000 tons or more over one-fifth in the supplies of Europe. This threatened scarcity has caused excessive speculation in Europe and has advanced the sugar prices at London and Hamburg the leading sugar markets of the world 1 cents per pound since' June 15, while growers of cane sugar, in the face of an anxious demand and a certain shortage in the beet product, have similarly advanced the price of their product over 2 cents per pound in the same period. " . The American Suzar Refininz Company doc not own an acre of cane sugar land, nor does it produce a pound of raw sugar; it depends for its supplies of raw sugar upon the growers of Cuba, Porto Rico, the Philip pines, Hawaii, Java and other sugar countries. It has, in common with all other refiners at home and abroad, been compelled to secure its supplies from these sources at con stantly advancing prices. On June 15 raw sugar could be secured at 3.89c per pound. The corre sponding price now is 5.96c per pound. On the June date this company was selling granul&ted sugar at 4.90c per pound net, while our price since Sep tember 11 has been 6.62c per pound net As regards our policy, it will be seen from these prices that our margin between raw and refined sugar has at no time been excessive. We believe it only just to add that the grocery trade of the country has likewise maintained a fair parity to the consumer. Durin? the rise our prices have ruled lower than our'competitors, having been from toi cents per pound below the quotations of other refiners. We share the hope that every consumer undoubt edly entertains that the loss in Europe has been exag gerated (the actual figures cannot be known before December or January), and that the calls upon what are almost exclusively , American supplies of raw sugar will gradually diminish. Happily the domestic sugar crops promise good yields, and with their harvesting, which has already commenced and which will be in full progress in October, the present tension should disappear. In the meantime, our policy as regards a reasonable margin over raw sugar prices will be continued ; it is dictated not only by a recognition of our peculiar relationship to the wellfare of the country's households, but also by good business, for any decided check in consumption with a profit margin as narrow as that in sugar refining could only occasion heavy losses to all refiners. We produce no raw sugar Our prices under competitors' Makers of Cryttal Domino and Other Quality Sugars September 27, 1911 The American Sugar Refining Co which proved to be an agreement that he waa to retain the $1000 as bis fee.
