Bad for the Social Clubs.

ALLEGAN. March Elm the case Of the
People vs.. Dustan. Judge Arnold charged
the jury that the fact that defendant acted
as agent for the Otsego AtbleticAssociation
could not relieve him OF his responsibility
for selling the liquors and that if the jury
found sale was actually made the law
would permit no artifice by way of checks
10 evade it. The fact of their being an as
sociation tor the purpose OF selling liquors
was not considered in the charge. The
jury found the defendant guilty. The case
will go TO the Supreme Court.

TRUSTS PUT ON THE RACK
NEW YORKS LEGISLATIVE INVES-
TIGATION UNDER WAY.

Henry Havemeyer on the Stand to
Testify Concerning the Combine to
Keep Up the Price of Sugar-Crimi-
nality in Forming the Trust Alleged
by MIR. Coggeshall.
New YORK, Feb. 20--The committee of
seven Senators who were appointed by the
Legislature to investigate trusts" and sim
liar matters met to-day in the Superior
Court and began their work. Gen. Roger
A. Pryor and George Bliss appeared as the
legal advisors of the committee. The sugar
trust was first taken up, and Henry Have
meyer was the first witness called. Be-
fore he was questioned he asked through
John +. Parsons his counsel, whether or not
he was to testify under compulsion.
Senator Arnold said that the witness
must testify. Then he squelched the trust"
people by announcing that they could not
be represented by counsel at the hearings.
They could after testifying consult counsel,
and would then have an opportunity to
correct their testimony.
FORMATION OF THE TRUST.
Mr. Havemeyer detailed at length the
formation of the sugar trust. He was
asked: Did you not surrender stock in
your company to a board, in consideration
EI

belonging to the organizationp
THAT is about it,"
The witness thought that under the opera
tions of the trust production had decreased
about one-quarter Under recommendation
of the board three reflneries in Boston and
Oxard, and the Moller and Sierck refineries
of Brooklyn, had been closed and were still
idle. Secretary Searles, who was now in
nrloo,,e, ho Il

board and its stockholders He kept one
book, he believed, relating to transfers.
"About how long has Mr.. Searles been in

"a few days"

TO FORCE UP PRICES.
Senator Ives asked the witness if the
effect of this trust was not to prevent fall
in prices, and in no way to check an ad-
vance, but in fact to encourage it. The
witness tried to evade the question. but
finally admitted that under the arrange
ment prices could not decline below Ger
tain limit and could advance to a point
where the competition of other countries
would prevent any further advance.
Senators Coggeshall asked if the witness
had any objections to producing the origi-
nal agreement between the board and the
stockholders.
He had, because it had been stated by the
committees counsel that there was crimi-
nal act involved in the forming of the trust,
and he wished to consult with his counsel
before he would say whether he would do
so or not
Hereupon Havemeyer's lawyer, ]. E. Par
sons, who is himself member of the board,
was placed upon the stand. He refused to
surrender the paper. and after some wrang-
ling, the session closed for the day.

The Congressional Investigating Com

The Congressional Investigating Com
mittee Begins It's Hearing at Potts
ville-The Secretary of the Execu-
tive Committee of tho Company's
Employees Very Bitter Against the
Men They Call "Scabs."
louisville, PA, Feb. 20.-The Congress
sional investigating committee, appointed
TO inquire into the Schuylkill and Lohigh
regions strike and the strike on the Read
ing railroad, began its investigation in the
coal region here to-day. Tho first witness
examined was Joseph Cahill, Secretary of
the Executive Committee of the Phladel-
phia and Reading Railroad Employees Con
vention, of which John l.. Lee is chairman.
This witness did not add anything to the
information already gained by the com
mittee, but in the course of his examination
he made use of the word "Scabs."
"Who are scabs"
''Men who had taken the places of Union
men ON strike
"Why do you call them 'scabsnn
because ! don't know any worse name
to call them"
"These men are human beings. Now
what right have you to prescribe them.
"ScabS' are workmen like your own menF'
because the railroads combine to starve
their workmen we must combine to get liv-
ing wages"
"Then the humanity of your order does
not include scabsn
The witness made no reply.
NOT A FIGHT FOR WAGES
On cross-examination the witness said the
employees of the Reading Railroad Company
were satisfied with the wages paid, the
question of wages having been settled in all
departments 10y mutual agreement
and concessions, and the strike
had no reference to the wages paid to the
employees of the Reading railroad system.
The witness was closely cross-examined as
to what the organization expected of the
State, and he said a law limiting the hours
of labor to eight hours a day and such laws
as would compel corporations to do their
duty to the public and their labor, which
as public servants, they could be compelled
to do.
Being asked as to the wages earned on
the Reading road, the witness said freight
conductors receive $50 to 800 a month, en-
gineers about $l25 month, firemen from $50
to $50 month and trackmen lie. an hour
Strictly speaking the strike was not in
augurated according TO the rules of the
order, as the order to go out had not the
formal approval of the Central Board.
FORCED TO REMAIN IDLE.

RIVALS FOR THE CONVENTION.
San Francisco and Chicago the Lead.
ers in the Race.

erS in the Race,
WASHINGTON, Feb 20.-The delegations
from the Western cities, which are striving
to secure the honor of entertaining the next
National Democratic Convention, are all
hard at work tonight. The three princi-
pal delegations, namely, those from Chica-
go, St. Louis and San Francisco, have their
headquarters in Wizards Hotel, and they
all seem to be confident of success. They
unite in declaring that the convention will
go West, and assert that the Cincinnati peo-
pie realize that their fight is almost hope
less one.
DRIFTING TOWARD THE SLOPE.
OF the three delegations, that from San
Francisco is the most enthusiastic, and it is
admitted by the st. Louis delegation that
tonight talk runs toward the Pacific coast.
They assert, however, that this is due to the
extravagant promises made by the San
Francisco representatives. The Chicago
delegates are the quietest, but their plan of
campaign is well defined, and each commit
tee does what is allotted to it and reports to
Headquarters without making much noise.
Naturally the rival delegations are unwill-
to talk, except in a general way, about their
expectations,
SURE OF Is VOTES.
When asked if they would have IS votes,
Mr.. Tarpey, the Sah Francisco representa-
tive said: "Yes, we will have more than

The st. Louis people express great conf
dence, and Chicago is evidently feared by
the Others From the best information OBJ
tainable it would seem that San Francisco
expects the support of all the country west
of the Rocky Mountains and number of
votes from the South. 1t is conceded that
Chicago will have the votes of New
England, with the exception of Mr.. Prince,
of Massachusetts, who is in favor Of st.
Louis.
A GOOD START.
This, together with the Northwest and
some support from the central section, will
give the Lake City good showing at the
start, and her representatives expect to OBJ
tain enough votes to secure the convention
after ballot or two of respect" has been
given by the committeeman to their
respective cities. The strength of st. Louis
viii come from the Mississippi valley and
the Southwestern States and Territories,
and it is said that some of the Southern
States favor st. Louis as the second choice
after San Francisco.

however, are not considered good.

HoAR,s REsoLUTIoN LOST.
The House Evidently in Favor of It
Own Proposition.

The House Evidently in Favor of It's
own Proposition.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 20.-In the House to-
day a motion was made ON behalf of the
Judiciary Committee to suspend the rules
and place on its passage the Hoar joint res
oiution proposing a constitutional amend
ment changing the date of Inauguration
day, and extending until April 30, 1889, the
term Of the Fiftieth Congress. Tho debate
upon the joint resolution was continued
ut some length, though little interest was
manifested The opposition came princi-
pally from members who thought that the
pas5age of the resolution would act as a bar
rier TO the future action contemplated by a
House resolution which would change the
date of the beginning of Congress TO Jan. Il.
When the vote was reached the House re-
fused by 129 yeas to 1913 nays, not the neces-
sary two-thirds in the affirmative to pass
the resolution.
