4 case in which the United States Gov

Court Of Appeals.
1t appears that on March Q. ISIS. Fran

his application for pension, alleging that
ON or about oct -. 1864. he contracted
catarrhal ophthalmia of both eyes While
a soldier i'm Company Is, Forty-sccoud

sion was granted Rhodes for s. per
month from March %. 1850. to Sept I'D.
ISIS ON April 20. ISL. the pension was
increased 10 SIS a month, and 80 vigor-
ously did Rhodes prosecute his claims for
increase that by Sept 10. 1886. he was
securing so per month and continued 10
draw that sum until Aug. 4. 1894 when he
was dropped from the rolls on the ground
that his disability was not contracted i'm
the service. Rhodes had collected alto
gother S9Si7i0. and for this amount suit
was brought in the United States Circuit
Court
The evidence was conflicting there be-
ing much testimony on either side, but
'he jury found for the Government and
judgment was entered for $3.50.
Rhodes, appealed. alleging that Judge
Adams erred i'm charging that 10 entitle
him TO pension the claimant must show
not only disability contracted in the SER
vice, but in line of duty.
Some Of the witnesses swore Rhodes
had sore eyes before he enlisted. Others
sw0re that If ne had sore eyes when DE
enlisted they did not know h. Judge
Adams on this point called the attention
Of the jury 10 the difference between pO-
sitve and negative testimony and this
instruction also is alleged 10 be an error

the derelict schooner was sighted by the

tion revealed nothing in the cabin but
few provisions. with no sign of the
crew. The Siglin is reported to be
drifting ashore and will probably even-
tually find a resting place on the beach
of Queen Charlotte island. She was
ten miles off the island when sighted

THE PIPE TRUST
An Important Case Comes to Trial
Tomorrow

WASHINGTON, May 25-An impor-
tant antitrust case, the decision of
which will have material bearing upon
the disposition of the governmental
action against the Joint Traffic Associa-
tion,. will be tried by the Circuit Court
of Appeals for the Sixth Judicial Circuit
Nashville, Tenn, commencing Wednes-
day. The trust which the Government
is after is called THE Pipe Trust" al
though it is officially known as the AS"
sociated Pipe Works. The association
has six members, the Addison Pipe Steel
Company of Cincinnati; Dennis Long &
Company of Louisville; South Pitts
burg Company of South PittsburS
Tenn; Chattanooga Steel Company of
Chattanooga Tenn; Admission Company
of Admission, Ala, and the Howard Hac-
rison Company Of Bessemer, Ala.
According to the argument which will
be made by the Government the cor
poration is powerful enough to com
pletely control the market for castiron
pipe in this section.

Circuit Judge VIM. II. Taft of Cincin-

WASHINGTON, May 25.-The trial of
H. %. Havemeyer. President Of the
American Sugar Refining Company, for
refusing to answer questions of the Sen-
ate Sugar Investigating Committee in
the spring of 1894, began in the Criminal
Court this morning. Elverton r. Chap
man. the fret of the five contumacious
witnesses is now serving a 30-days' SEN
tence in the district Jail. John E. Searles,
Secretary of the sugar trust, and e. j.
Edwards and John S. Enriver, newspa-
per men, will be tried, probably in the
order named.
There was large crowd in attendance
. this morning to witness the unusual
spectacle of millionaire on trial. Among
them were Senators Gray, Lodge, Lind
gay and Davis ard Congressman Rich
ardson. Judge Bradley presided. Dis
trict Attorney Davis conducted the case
on behalf Of the United States. The de-
fendant wac represented by a brilliant
array of counsel including Nathaniel
Wilson of this city, John G. Johnson of
Philadelphia and John H. Parsons OF
New York. Little trouble was expert
eneed In obtaining a jury, and in less
than half an hour after court convened
District Attorney Davis opened the case
with statement to the jury
Elverton r. Chapman, the New York
sugar broker who is serving a thirty
days sentence in the district Jail for
the offense for which Havemeyer is be-
ing tried, was present as witness, but
did not testify. The witnesses today
were the file clerk of the senate, the
committees stenographer and Senators
Gray, Lodge Davis and Lindsay who
were on the Investigating committee
The line of defense, as disclosed today
is that the question asked, which looked
to the production of data as to the po-
litical contributions of the sugar COM
pany to state and national elections,
was not pertinent to the inquiry This
was shown by the repeated develop
ment of the fact that Mr. Havemeyer
answered the question as to the national
campaign and as to the election of
United States senators before the legis-
latures. This line of defense was antici-
pated somewhat by the district attor-
ney. Considerable stress was also placed
Or the attempt of the defense to show
that Senator Aliens question (Which
Mr.. Havemeyer refused to answer) was
an individual, not a committee, ques-
ton, but the testimony today went to
prove that the question was propounded
ry the direction Of the committee

Evidence of Forgery

SAN FRANCISCO, May 25.-When
the trial of the AngusCraven case was
resumed today Expert Gumpel tried to
demonstrate by the aid of sheet of
gelatine that his theory that the alleged
Fair documents were not genuine was
correct. Taking the word "bequeath"
as an example. the expert traced it with
stylus upon the gelatine from the orig
inal, and rubbed color into the lines thus
formed, producing a perfecfit facsimile
of the word as it was first written in the
Will. This when placed over the other
"bequeaths" in the will, twelve in num-
Der, was found to fit two-thirds exactly
and the other one-third very closely.
Gumpel declared that such similarity
could not possibly be found in genuine
writings, and was. in his opinion indis-
putable evidence of forgery.
