TRUSTS
Confined from First yase)

At the present price Of raw sugar, the
margin between raw and refined was 6S
cents per hundred pounds before the re-
finer began 10 realize a profit. Mr.. Post
said that in past years his refineries have
used Cuban sugar cane almost altogether,
but since the great reduction in the Gu
ban output they had been forced to rely
largely on European beet sugar, princi-
pally German and Austrian. The Euro
pean refined sugar was cheaper to pro-
duce than the American but was not Of
so good a quality. OF imported raw
sugar, the American refiners had got
large quantities from the Philippines. Re
garding the effect of the sugar trust upon
the price Of raw sugar, witness said he
thought the presence of one great buyer
in the field had tended to keep down the
prices, but he did not think the trust
could keep down the price more than
one-sixteenth of a cent per pound, and
that only for portion of each season. on
inquiry as to the affidavit plan Of selling
to wholesale tgrocers, witness said it had
recently been abandoned. The result was
that in many places grocers were cut
ting the price of sugar and selling a
loss. He said he was sorry for the groc-
eTs but it was matter Of little interest
to the redner. The refners allowed the
grocers a profit of three-siXteenths OF
cent pound, which was as little as they
could afford to handle it for. Free sugar
from Cuba, witness said, would wipe out
American raw sugar, both beet and cane,
in the next five years.

COT HIM At LAST
Tom Diffenderfer Convicted
of Grand Larceny
IN COURT AT Ell DORADO
Stole S20.16 Worth of Mr.
FuIIer'S Chickens.

Tom Diffenderfer. alias Grant wallace,
alias Zig Tom" the persistent despoiler
of the chicken roost, is at last on his
way to the penitentiary. In his last theft
he overstepped the bounds Of his usual
prudence, and stole just 16 cents worth
TOO much, and was convicted in the dis
trict court Of Butler county yesterday Of
grand larceny Heretofore Difenderfer
had been very careful to not 50 beyond
the bounds Of petit larceny in order that
he might get off with a jail sentence,
which did not disturb him in the least,
especially if il was in the winter time.
The state had a strong case against Diff
fenderfer at. FL Dorado. Detective Sui
ton, James Oliver and Mrs. DifIenderfer
went over as witnesses for The state, and
the accused could not very well get
around their testimony, which was prin
cipally for the purpose Of corroborating
that Of the prosecuting witness Tom
Difenderfer and partner stole lot OF
chickens from a farmer in Butler county
named Milo F. Fuller. They brought the
the deal Diffenderfer is said to have tried
10 cheat his own partner out of some
of the proceeds After the arrest the
partner was persuaded TO turn states evi-
dence against Diffenderfer, but the prin-
cipal work in the case was the effort Of
Difenderfer TO figure up the weight and
worth Of the chickens so as to come IN
der $50. He agreed 10 plead guilty to
petit larceny. The prosecution had the
amount figured at considerably more
than $50, but they began to compromise
with the prisoner, and the amount Of
chickens were finally figured down TO
$2016, just enough TO send Diffenderfer TO
the penitentiary.
Tom Difenderfer IS credited with hav-
ing stolen upwards Of 1000 chickens since
he has been in the business. but never did
he commit a more contemplate theft, the
officers say, than this one. He had been
employed on the farm Of Mr.. Fuller, ana
was treated like one of the family. Sew
eral times he mad worked there, and he
was free TO 90 and come as he chose. Mr..
Fuller always furnishing him with what
work he had. When Mr.. FuIler's barn
yard became well supplied with fowls
Difenderfer could not resist his tradi-
tional weakness, and one night he visit
ed the henroost. He persuaded a neighbour
boy to become an accessory, which was
the first crime the young man had ever
committed.
The officers here are very well pleased
TO think that Diffenderfer has at last got
beyond the stage Of petit larceny. He
was a great bother to them here and bad
several times been sentenced to the coun-
~ JAIL to be fed by the county for a few
months at time. Last winter he vicious
ly assaulted his divorced wife and after
wards tried to injure Policeman NcAIn-
Ian, who arrested him. The witnesses.
who returned yesterday, say that SEN
tence viii be passed upon Diffenderfer at
the conclusion of the term Of court at Fl /
Dorado, and It is expected that he viii
get two or three years.

PINGREE'S DAY FOR VETOING
ROasts the Legislature as Being
Owned by the Tax Dodgers.


Owned by the Tax Dodgers.
Lansing, Mich, June 16.-Governor Pin
gree marked the closing day of the legis-
lature gy sending in veto messages which
criticised the legislature for alleged fail
ure to carry out the peoples wishes. The
governor vetoed the amended beet sugar
bounty bill and also a bill appropriatlng
$4,000 for a state building and exhibit at
the Pan-American Exposition at Buffalo.
The beet sugar bill, as originally passed,
had been recalled from the Governor
Office, the governor having recommended
that the amount paid any sugar factory
be limited to 80, 900 annually No limit was
insAted, however, in the amended bill,
which reduced the manufacturers bounty
from a cent to a half-cent "a pound. The
veto message said: ''This legislature has
passed no laws to equalize the burden of
taxation and make corporate and other
property pay its share of taxes. 1t was
elected for the purpose of passing lawss to
equalize assessments and taxes and 10
make railroads and other corporations pay
as much taxes in proportion as the farmer
and other small property owners. 1t has
failed utterly to carry out the wish of the
people in this respect. The tax dodger
has either controlled or opstructed legis-
lation. His interests have been carefully
protected. The effort seems to have been
made to appropriate as much money as
possible, out Of all proportion to the pres
ent income of the state, and to stilie all
measures framed to make the tax-dodger
bear his and its share Of the increased ex-
penses."
Governor Pingree strongly attacked the
senate in particular because bills for tax
ing railroads and other corporations in
like manner with other property still re-
pose in senate committees. He added:
THE Republican party in convention, by
its platform, unanimously pledged, and the
people endorsed, reforms in taxation, not
one of which has been fulfilled Such
of faith are sometimes as dan
gerous to parties as to individuals"
As to the Buffalo appropriation the gov
ernor said: If this Republican legis.a-
ture cannot afford TO make the pay of
NIchigan's volunteers in the Spanish
American war at least one dollar per day,
it certainly should not tax the soldiers
