Stuart Scott, the daring aviatrix, will be in the air tomorrow, and that with the exception of Hoff, all those sched-uleed to appear. will be ori hind.

TO REJECT RECORDS The day was marked by one other incident which was not announced to the crowd in the band stand. This was the reception of a telegram from the officials of the Aero Uub of America, in the Pacific Aero club holds memBtership, declaring all the aviators who partook in' yesterday's meet to be outlaws, and refusing to recognize any records, made in) tne contests. The cause of the trouble between the aviators taking part in the me'et and the national body was the refusal of the aviators to act for rerntmitioh from the Aero -o Club of America, when they were requested to do so by the 'Pacific Aero, club. The ayiatort stated that unnecessary restraint is placed upon meets supervised by the national organization, and it was for this reason that they refused to ask recognition. The telegram declaring all the pirn rlnrintr the meet An informal Vmeeting of the' birdmen was at once caueau.ana teicgrapnic rpiy wired East bidding defiance to the national body, and welcoming the titjp, pf "Insurgents," TO SHARE PROCEEDS At the same meeting of the av-iators it was decided that Willkuri Hoff should not lose his share of the pfoceeds of the meet as a re-' suit of his accident.

Hoff stands to lose $1000 at least as a result of the destruction of his biplarie, oniy ine engine ui wun-u na cued from the wreck, but through the generosity of his associates he; will shapcTwith them the, pro- nr v. The aviators are working on a aperceDiage uasis. ncu uk; uu not fly they do not get paid. But by a unanimous vote of the bird-men present Hoff will be alloted his share of the proceeds for the full time of the meet, although he will lie during that time in pain fighting for his life. The accident to Hoff saddened th afternoon's amusement, but It added to the tense excitement of the occasion when the men who had wlt-nesed the accident continued their daring aerial feat.

Beachey and Parmelee continued to be the sensation purveyors of the afternoon, tknnsh hart henn starters In the eveent with Hoff. In which the latter met with the accident. The three aviators followed each -other rapidly Into the, air as the announcement was made' Of the start of the all-nations' event.

Hoff had not tried out the air, but was aware that It wag treacherous.

Glenn Martin declared after the accident that the young aviator had attempted to rise too soon and at too steep an Incline, and Jhat he came with declining speed Into, one of the puffs of wind sweeping down from the roof of the grand stand. According to Weldon Cooke, who ws-tched the three "birdmen from the fteld, Hoff swept up Into the "wash" alf behind Parmelee's machine and was upset by this; That, the young man was nervous is agreed by all who saw the accident.

BANQUET IS SAN Feb. IT. The Pacific Aero Club members were hosts Statists for 1911 Show That 81.78 Pounds Were Used Per Capita, BEET PRODUCTION IS NOW LARGER THAN CANE Report Says That About One-Fourth of Amount Is of -Domestic Production. WASHINGTON. Feb.

17 Sugar consumption In the United States in the calendar year 1911 exceeded that of any earlier year. The total quantity consumer In continental United States was, according- to the latest estimate of the Bureau of Statistics, Department of Com-, merce and Labor," 7,670,000 pounds, or an average of 81.78 pounds per capita. against the former high record of 81 J9 pounds per capita' In the flsca. year W07. These' figures are official so far as relates to the.

quantity brought Into orm- tinental United States during, the calendar' year rrom Hawaii, Porto Rico, the Philippines and from foreign countries. To this the bureau has added the latest estimates o( sugar-produced In the country during Wife and by subtracting the official flg-flgiifres of exports from the grand total or lmporwana domestic proauctton, obtains a trftal of 7,870,000 pounds) or practically 82 pounds per capita, as the In dicated consumption of the calendar year Ten years ago, in the fiscal year 1901. the indicated consumption was 5,500,000,000 pounds, or TVpounds per capita; twenty years ago. In 1891, 000,000 pounds, or 61 pounds per capita year ago, In ,1881, 2,250,000,600 pounds, or 43 pounds per capita, and forty years ago, In 1871, 1,500,000,000 pounds, or 36 pounds per capita. PRODUCTION HEAVY.

This very, large total consumption of sugar In the country In 1911 accompanied an unusually heavy production both In continental United States and Its sugar- producing Islands, Hawaii, Porto Rico and the Philippines. The quantity brought from Hawaii, Porto Rico, and the Philippines In 1911 exceeded in each case that of ahy earlier year, and the estimated production of beet sugar In the county In largest on record, though that of cane sugar was slightly below the average qf recent, years. While 'h quantity Of sugar imported from foreign countries in 1911 fell somewhat below the figures of the aggregate of production In continental United States, production In the non-contiguous territories, and imports from foreign countries exceeds that of any earlier year, while the quantity exported was smaller than in the immediately preceding year. The import valuation of the sugar of the sugar brought from foreign countries in 1911 was, speaking in round numbers, nonety million dollars; from the noncontiguous territories, seventy-eight million dollars. The Bureau of Statistics estimates the duty paid on sugar Imported from foreign countries in 1911 at fifty million dollars.

BEET SUGAR INCREASE. ne striking fact which comes to the surface In this study of sugar consumption In the United States Is found in a comparison of production and growth In production of cans and of beet sugar respectively.

She donned her aviation costume and drove about- the field In her racing car, delivering her opinion in glowing terms of those who refused "her permission to fly.

Faneuf of the' postoffice and' rushed In an automobile to the Oakland post-office. Between the time of sealing the bag by Postmaster PauLSchafer on the aviation field and Its being received at the postoffice only, eiglit minutes elapsed.

Another event of unusual Interest was the sending of a wireless telegram from an aeroplane high In the air, driven by Horace Kearney, to "hewireless station established at the grounds by two Oakland high school youths, Leo Scott and Archie McDonald. Kearney sent the following message, which was accurately received and transcribed: "It's, cold up here. I forgot my gloves and ear-muffs. Am down for them." When the message was read a cheer went up from the made several flights and showed considers ble expertness in the air.

HofTs machine pitched to the right. Even then If might have been righted had oft been a more experienced and more cool-headed hand at the sporf As It was he made a desperate attempt to regain his equilibrium, a.nd In doing so apparently shut oft the engine. Like Some pterygpld monster of primeval ages, suddenly wounded In air, the biplane, when about fifty feet high, slanted down clumsily to the ground, the right wing striking first, and causing Hoff to be thrown from his seat. The heavy engine was thrown some fifteen feet from its place, and although when he was found Holt was clear of the It is the theory of the surgeons who attended him that the bones of the pelvis must have been crushed by the weight of the engine striking and pinning him for a moment between It and the earth. Beside the pelvic fractur.e and internal Injuries Hoff sustained a fracture of the right side of the Jaw, contusion of the forehead and scalp, and other minor injuries.

Hoff was a resident of San Francisco, 27 years of age. His parents now reside in San Francisco. He was formerly mechanician for Eugene Ely. who met his death at Macon, about four months ago. WIND-WAS BAD.

Following the accident to Hoff, Beachey continued his daredevil teats about the field, and when he came to the ground explained his defiance of death in the following characteristic words: "That's my business flying when It's hard to fly. I took desperate chances today In the worst wind ever flew in. But I guaranteed 'to make good and I did!" Beachey was easily the man who evoked the most startled murmurs of amazement from the throngs of spectators. In his five-mile exhibition flight about the course he iriade a speed of seventy miles an hour, turning at the end of the course with his biplane side-tilted at an angle of about forty-five degrees to bank the wind beneath his pinions. 'Rushing down the straight stretch before the grand stand at this terrlflo speedy Beachey allowed his machine to descend Within twelve feet of the ground, and at this height sped between the little tower on the inner side of the track and the tower used by the wireless telegraphy station, almost clipping his wings In the narrow passageway.

At another time he rode Into the breast of the wind and at a given signal removed his hands from the steering awheel and with arms outstretched and eyes closed swept Into the wind. TOUCHES GROUND. At the-close, of the day Beaohey rose again for one final flight and repeated hlsch'ievements of flying low. But this tityei to carry the matter to extremes, put on full speed, and at the third lap- as he came down the stretch, he descended lower and lower until his rear running wheel suddenly cut into the earth of the track, sending up a puff of sand. The machine was between two fences and a slight deviation to one side or the other would have meant sure death.

Without slackening speed Beachey shot upward again and Bwept into the turn. In addition to the sensational flights made by this aviator in describing figure 8's and In circling the flagstaff, Beachey rose, to between 2500 and 3000 feet above the field, and gave a wonderful -exhibition of the direct glide to earth with engine shut off. The biplane was barely in view In the high fog when Beachey shut dowW his engine and started on the glide to earth. Down came the machine with a heart-breaking rush and a whirr of wind through the wires as it dashed toward the level field! Suddenly, when death seemed Imminent, the planes were turned and the machine came up against the wind from a descent that had seemed to be greater than fifty degrees. DARING PARMELEE.

Many of the feats carried out by Beachey were duplicated by Phil Parmelee, and In some Instances Parmelee exceeded his rival in clever ness. But for the most part Beachey' held the attention of the crowd when he was in the air by the hypnotism of his daring. Considerable" change was made In the program of the day, as is usually the case with the opening of a big meet of this kind. For the most part, however, the events occurred in the order announced. The initial relay race was declared off on account 'of the.

accident to Glenn Martla's car. Martin explained after the accident tha his engine had not been pulling strong, and that realizing the condition of the air he decided It would be best to land. He landed In the dump heaps In the biorthern.end of the field and this pre-rvented his turning in Ume; to avoid the fence. The machine was partially wrecked. but Martin will flyjomorrow, as Miss 't Blanche Scott Jias offered the use her machine- Miss Scott, known as the "tomboy 1 the San Francisco Press Club rooms at which a number of the prominent aviators now In Oakland were guests of honor.

Among these were Weldon B. Cooke, the young Oakland bird man. Following the banquet President Irvine of the club gave an address de voted to features of the science of aviation. Talks were given by Colonel Pierce, Professor Van Der Kallen and others. FIELD able estimate puts the production of beet sugar at eleven hundred and five million pounds and that of cane sugar at seven hundred million pounds, the production of beet sugar thus exceeding that of cane by more than 80 per cent.

Prior to 1907 the production of beet sugar was never as great as that of cane sugar. In 1901 the quantity of beet sugar produced was less than that of cane; In -906 It nearly equalel that of cane; In 1907 it ex ceeded that of cane, and has continued greater in each year since that be ing In the year just ended, as above in dicated, more than 50 per cent In excess of the cane susrar Droduced.

but six hundred and ninety-five million pounds, against eleven hundred and -thirty-six million lit the year Just ended; and from Porto Rico, one hundred and sixty-three million pounds in 1901, against six hundred and fifty-four millions In 1911. -jFrom the Philippine Islands the increase has been- especially rapid since the enactment of the present tariff law which permits the Importation free of duty of limited quantities of Philippine sugar, and as a result the quantity of sugar imported from the Philippines in 1911 was four hundred and two million pound against two hundred and eighteen millions in 1910, one hundred and six million in 1909, and one hundred and three mllllo In 1908, the; year immediately pre- cedlngf the enactment' of the existing tariff-Jaw.
