after regarded Jones as any other witness

The testimony began with Jones telling

A SPEECH BY BURLESON.
CoNTRAsTED THE VIEWS EXPRESS
ED BY ROOSEVELT.
Believes the President Is Handicapped
by Party Policy in Dealing With
the Trust Question
lsneclal to The Post J

Washington. February Is Representative
Burleson today delivered a speech denoune
ing the trusts and the republican party for
its protection Of them.
He called attention n the speech made
by President Roosevelt in Minneapolis last
summer during which the then vice presi-
dent. in referring 70 trusts, said that I'VE
shall find it necessary in the future 10
sbackle force as in the past we nave
shockled cunning" and that tine vast com
blnations of capital which have marked the
DEVELOPMENT Of our industrial system create
new conditions and necesstate change
from the old attitude of state and nation
toward property
Mr.. Burleson contrasted these utteranceS
with references made to the trusts by the
president in his message in which the
trust magnates were called captains Of In
dustry" and the existence Of trusts was
condoned
This change Of heart was laid at the doors
Of the renublicau advisers with which the
president had surrounded himself and the
Intimaton V as made that Mr.. Roosevelt,
II LETT to himself, would have followed the
dictates of his conscience and acted alto
gether differently The action Of the presi-
dent in retaining Mr.. Knox rs attorney
general was severely criticised. Mr.. Bur-
Lesson concluded by saying, addressing the
republicans: "Nou know the power Of
trusts. They know your venality. This
tells the whole story"

Receiver for Rose hill.
Rose Hill Sugar Co. has gone into

Rose Hill Sugar Co. has gone into
the hands of a receiver. On Monday
the 18th Joseph B. Chaffe was APP
pointed receiver of the Rose Hill
Sugar Company, the application be-
ing made by S. Gumbel & Co., Ltd,
in the Civil District Court of New
Orleans.
S. Gumbel & Co., represents that
it is a creditor of the Rose Hill Sugar
Company in the full sum Of $20,o98,-
80, for money loaned and advanced
during the season of 1901 and 1902
for the purpose of cultiyating its two
certain plantations, known as the
Rose Hill and the Ramsey, in the
parish of Vermilion. The petitioner
represents that a cessation Of the
work on the plantations would result
in a serious loss to all the creditors,
and that a receiver is necessary to
take charge Of, preserve and admin
lister the plantations and refinery.
The Rose Hill Sugar Company,
through its president, l. Hechinger,
filed an answer, admitting the truth
of the averments in the petition filed
by S. Gumbei & Co. Yhe property
of the company which consists of
plantations, sugar refinery and rail
road, is encountered with several
heavy mortgages, and with vendors
and other privileges. 1t is admitted
that the company is without funds to
maintain the property, -and,by reason
of the mortgage and privilege indeb-
ness existing against this property,
it is unable TO borrow the funds nee
essary'for such purpose, In order to
preserve the value of its plantations
and refinery, it is absolutely neces-
sdry that the seed cane On the plan
tation be planted within the next few
weeks, and that if this is not done the
seed cane will lose a very large part
of their value.
