OBJECT TO SUGAR TRUST.
To Maintain Its Monopoly by Crush
ing Out Beet Sugar Producers.

~ mathtAih its MonopOiy Dy Crush-
ing Out Beet Sugar Producers.
San Francisco. Oct. Accommodating
to-day on the reduction of the price
OF sugar in the Missouri market by the
sugar trust. Henry It. Oxnard presi-
dent of the American Beet Sugar AS
sociation, defined 1t as a move to
crush out beet sugar production in
order that the trust might have no
opponent.
IF they can succeed in Missouri"
said he, they will then turn their
attention to Michigan and other sec
tions and by the power of concentrated
capital crush out successively and in
dividually the beet sugar producers.
The trust tries to deceive the public
by claiming that the beet producers
can still make money at the low price
1t is trying to establish. This is false
and IL it had been true then the trust
would have tried to establish a still
lower price. They are not sacrificing
one-half cent per pound in the Mis-
sissippi river markets to make a price
that still will be profitable to the beet
sugar man.
In view Of this act on the part OF
the sugar trust the United States Con-
gress can Ill afford to inaugurate the
policy of reducing the present rate Of
duty by reciprocity or in any other
way which would have the certain ef-
feet of enriching the trust on one hand
and on the other the killing of the
most promising industry in the agri-
cultural business in America"

SENSATION IN CHICAGO.
Mayor Harrison's Friend and Demo-

EmbezzIcment.

cratic Leader, Burke, Indicted for
EmbezzIcment.
Chicago, Oct. 5.-The grand jury to-
day voted two indictments against
Robert Z. Burke. city oil inspector.
The charge is embezzlement Of the
funds of his office. In one instance a
shortage of $4,000 is alleged, and in
the other $4,000 is said to be missing
Several days ago representatives of
the Standard Oil Company told the
grand jury that they had paid as fees
to Burke in his capacity of city oil in
spector certain sums of money, which
the grand jury could not find in the
inspectors accounts with the city. The
matter was taken up again to-day,
and after long investigation it was
found that there was in one case a
shortage of $4,000 between the amount
paid by the Standard Oil Company,
and that reported in the receipts of the
Office by Burke. The item of $4,000
was found in the same manner.
Burke is chairman of the Democrat
ic County Central Committee and is
one of the leading Democratic poll
ticians in Chicago. He has held the
Office of oil inspector since Hon. Carter
Harrison has been mayor of Chicago
and is regarded as the closest political
friend of Mayor Harrison. Strong ef-
forts were made during the day by
Burke and his friends to prevent his
Indictment. Burke, before the indict-
ments were returned, paid into the Of
fee of the states attorney 100000 to
cover any shortages that might be
found in his accounts, and late this
evening prominent Democratic poll
ticians made strong efforts to have the
jury return no indictments, because of
the payments of money made by
Burke. Their efforts were in vain,
however, and the indictments were
fonud. Burke was not arrested to-
night and could not be found at his
home. There will be no difficulty
about his arrest tomorrow or Monday,
however, as he will surrender himself
with his bondsmen.
Had Made Good the Shortage.
Mr.. Burke appeared at his home at
midnight.
good the shortage claimed" he said.
Until to-day I did not know just how
the books in the office stood. Ever
since 1 took charge of the office four
years ago the chief deputy attended to
making out the reports. AS soon as
l learned that there was a shortage
of something like $4,000, I turned in
900 to the controllers office.
When asked what his line of defense
would be Mr.. Burke said he did not
care to discuss the matter at present
but added:
"The charge against me is withhold
ing public funds. I have paid every
cent that the reports call for, and that
the controllers books show should be
paid. did more than this, turning in
$40, 900, or $1,000 more than the shortage
which is claimed. 1 paid the extra
81, 900 so as to protect myself"
AS soon as Mr.. Burke learned of the
indictment he called up States Attor-
ney Deneen over the telephone and
said that he was ready to give bond.
Mr.. Deneen told him that it would
not be necessary to do so until Monday
morning.

All Winter-Lfpton willing to
Swap Crews for a Trial Race.

All Winter-Lipton willing to
Swap Crews for a Trial Race.
New York, Oct 5.-The Shamrock II
in tow of the tug James Lawrence, left
her mooring buoy in Sandy Hook bay
this morning, bound for the Erie ba-
sin, where she arrived at noon. The
yachts mainsail was unbent and she
will probably be dismantled at once.
After Sir Thomas Upton, accompan-
led by Mr.. jameson and Mr.. Watson,
had paid q farewell visit to Col. Bur-
bank and his family at the military
post on Sandy Hook, the Erin's anchor
was hove up and that yacht steamed
direct to New York. She was saluted
by all the outgoing steamships on her
way up the harbor.
When asked if it was true that he
was willing to put the captain and
crew Of the Shamrock on board the
Columbia and allow that yachts crew
to handle the Shamrock in a series of
races, Sir Thomas said:
Eyes, 1 should be willing to do it, II
1t is in the interest of sport, and pro-
vided, of course. the other side is will
ing"
There will, however, be no such race
Monday next, as both the yachts are
being stripped and could not be put in
trim again for weeks.
DR.. F. Reid Mackay of the Erin,
said there was every reason to believe
that the Shamrock will be laid up in
New York this winter, and that in
the spring or next summer, she will
be raced against the Columbia, Con-
stitution or any other ninety -footer.
For" said he, I'VE believe that she
Is actually a faster boat than the Co.
lumbia, and can beat her If she is raced
again under different conditions.
The following letter, which explains
itself, was sent to-day:
New York Yacht Club, Oct. 5, 1901
Dear Sir: We have to inform you that
the Columbia had won three out of
five races from the Shamrock III, in the

Kansas Supreme Court So Holds in
Stark Case.

Topeka, Kan. Oct. 5.-The Kansas
Supreme Court to-day affirmed the
judgment of the District Court of
Shawnee county in the case of the
state, against Balfe Stark. Stark was
one OF Carrie Nations assistants in
joint smashing. In one of their raids
they destroyed property which led to
arrests. Stark was fined $25 and costs.
The whole amounted to about 500. He
appealed 10 the Supreme Court, claim
ing among other things, that a saloon,
being, under the ban of the law, might
be destroyed by any citizen without
violation of the law. In the opinion
the court saws:
"All places where Intoxicating IL
quors are sold or kept for sale, or
places where persons are permitted to
resort for the purpose of drinking the
same. are declared by statute to be
common nuisances. This fact. how
ever, does not justify their abatement
by any person or persons without pro
cess of law. They can be abated only
by a prosecution instituted in behalf
of the public by the proper officers.
The destruction or injury to property
used in aid of the maintenance of
such nuisances, except in the manner
provided by the statute, is trespass." J."

THE TROUBLE VENEZUELA.

| II the truth is told about the situation
| in Venezuela 1t is difficult to see what
the United States warships which have
been sent to Venezuela to protect
American interests" will find to do. The
story is that an American syndicate,
now known as the Asphalt Trust OBJ
tanned concession. originally granted
to a man named Hamilton, to export
woods and spices from the State of
Bermudez and to work asphalt deposits
in the State. The concession gave ex-
elusive rights as to wood and spice ex-
ports, but not in the case of asphalt.
This syndicate, in 1888, also came into
possession of tract Of land containing
asphalt deposits, about fifteen miles
from the village of Guariquen. A few
years later an organization of Venezue-
lans obtained from their government
certain mining rights in what is known
as La Felicidad concession, in territory
some distance from the American syn
dicates tract. The Venezuelan compa-
ny assigned it's concession to newly
organized American corporation. The
original American syndicate and the ri
val association, in order to determine
the exact bounds of their respective
concessions, agreed to have a survey
made by commission composed of two
engineefs appointed by the claimants
and a third by the government of Ven
ezuela This commission decided ad-
versely to the claims Of the first Ameri-
can syndicate and confirmed the pur-
chase of La Felicidad concession by the
new American corporation. The syndi-
cate thereupon seized the concession of
its rival by violence and is holding it in
defiance of the Venezuelan government
Perhaps the warships will help the
Venezuelan government keep the Amer
leans in order.
