any fear of letting the public hearing

A Warm View of Free Sugar,
When the fight was renewed in the
senate It began with a clash between,
Senator Ransdell, who opposes the
sugar schedule, and Chairman Sim
raons. Senator Kansdell asked to
have the clerk read a letter from
Lewis C. Rowley of Lansing, Mich.,
who described himself as "an origl-
. nal Wilson man." Over spirited ob
jection the clerk read the letter,
which described the leading demo
cratic exponents of free sugar as "ac
cursed, unpardonable apostates of
demooratio faith, licking the. foot
steps of the predatory rich, hell-bent
on lowering the cost of living even
if the American standard of living
and the standard of democratic prin
ciples are lowered with It."
Before the reading was half com
pleted. Senator Reed objected and
forced a vote which was lost, repub
licskis voting with some democrats
against It.
The- clerk continued to read the
letter, predicting death for the Amer
ican sugar Industry when the Under
wood schedule becomes effective.

Optimism characterized the annual
report of the foreign mission board of

ted to the convention today by Rev.
B. Bay of Richmond, Va.
'Baptists were awakened to world
wide responsibilities and at the same
time to the great opportunities before
them In the home land," says the re
port. The Southern Baptists now have
116 men and 167 women missionaries
on foreign field. 139 ordained native
ministers and 447 native helpers. The
membership In foreign fields totals
more than 27,000 and nearly 7500 are
enrolled In schools and colleges.
Missions are located In China,
Japan. Africa, Italy, Mexico, Brazil
and Argentina. The total receipts of
the foruign mission board for the yer
exceeds $.'00,000. The present mission
debt Is $76,000." '
Considerable space Is given to con
ditions In Mexico.
The year 1912," reports A. N. Por
ter, In charge of the south Mexican
mission, "was one of the most trying
In the history of the Mexican people.
Thousands of bandits have overrun
the rural districts, leaving ruin and
distress. Such conditions have made
it nearly Impossible to do missionary
work except In the cities."

saya the revolution had Its compensa

"who have shown by their fidelity In
the midst of great dangers that they
have a profound Interest In the salva

It also seems certain, he con

opportunity than ever; the conditions
are changing and the people are read

Washington, May 14. Detectives in
vestigating the theft of plans for the
electrical wiring of the dreadnought .
Pennsylvania declared today that pub
lication of the "leak" probably would
hamper their work. The department
of justice has several likely clues
which may lead to arrests. Nothing
so far has developed, it is said, to dl- ,
rectly connect any foreign nation with
the suspects.
The fact that the ordnance and steam
engineering bureaus, of the navy de
partment have been missing plans and
documents relating to American ves
sels and their armament has created
alarm among officials and will un
doubtedly cause the military authori
ties to surround the war secrets of the
United States with greater safeguards.
None of the mis-ring papers, officials
reiterated today, was Important or
