boys. Said he could not pull cork
with his one arm. On cross-examina-
tion he said could not operate Lars
Larson's cork-puller, buthad not tried.
Admitted that there was no sign to ip,
dictate that the back room was a sep
arate establishment and that the door
between the two rooms was usually
open in Larson's absence.
Lars Larson was brought from the
Jail to testify for the defense He sta
ted that Mr.. Thom had not been inter-
ested in the business of the witness.
On cross-examination he admitted that
the defendant had looked after the
room in the brief absence of the wit
ness, but that he never found that any
drinks had been sold in his absence.
The taking of evidence was finished
when the court adjourned for dinner.
The case had been an interesting one,
if brief. The States attorneys were
confident and Judge Muller was not in
the best of spirits.> But it is the un-
expected that happens. When every
one had returned to the courtroom af-
ter having satisfied the inner man, the
addresses were made to the jury.
Judge Muller had FURNISHED up his
eloquence and in his dramatic manner
pictured the unfortunate condition of
the defendant. He won. After being
out three-quarters of an hour, the jury
returned a verdict of ''not guilty."
Mr.. Thorn is a free man, and is re-
ceiving the congratulations of his
friends, the true ones of which hope
that he will never again be placed un.
der cloud of suspicion.
Walter Nelson's Sentence.
Walter Nelson was sentenced this
afternoon to go to jail for thirty days
and to pay a fine of $50 and stay in
Jail additional 20 days if fine is not
paid. The second indictment will
probably go over to next term.

SPAIN MAY BE
IN SUGAR TRUST
Beet Men Agree to a Plan OF
Managing the Produc- =

mail Special to the Advertiser.)
WASHINGTON, D. c.. May 2.-Con-
sul General julius c. Lay, at BARGE
ona. Spain, has forwarded to the State
Department a letter about proposed
sugar trust in Spain. He speaks OF
this project in the following language:
N.After the loss of the island of CUBA,
attention was turned to the possibility
of producing beet sugar on an extern
sive scale in Spain. The prospect of a
lucrative investment attracted capitai
and large factories were erected ana
wide tracts of country We're devoted 10
the cultivation of the beet OVerpro-
duction quickly ensued. and stocks OF
sugar have been accommodating year oy
year. with little probability of any i'm
movement in the condition CT the trade
or chance of the surplus being disposed
of in foreign markets. Manufacturers
of cane and beet sugar have, therefore
decided to endeavor to form a trust 10
control the production and regulate the
sale of sugar in this country. Negoti-
atoms have been going on for some
months, but thus far with no tangible
result. although according to the latest
reports 80 per cent of the sugar manu-
facturers have joined the combination
ut is feared by many that the III
innate aim may be the securing OF
monopoly for the sale of sugar, in re-
turn for a yearly payment to the state
as if is argued that the success OF the
trust depends entirely upon such secu-
ritv against future tariff alterations.
IT is this fear that has aroused a wide
snead opposition to the proposal, ana
strong protests are being sent to Mad
rid from all parts of Spain. The man
ufacturers of products into which su-
gar largely enters are especially IN
terested in preventing the price from
Ibeing increased, and the general public
who now pay the equivalent of about IL
cents per pound for ordinary loaf su-
Gar do not view with favor scheme

inson a large crowd had gathered 10

time was one Bill Graham, cattleman
much given to the use OF intoxicating
liquor. Bill Joined the crowd without
knowing what it was all about. he
fell in line and gradually approached
the President, who was standing on
the lower step of his ear and shaking
hands with all who came. As BIZ
came near, the President reached over,
grasped him by the hand, shook II
vigorously, and said: my friend,
am delighted to see you"

above par. Contrary to the vigorous
protest of the applicant. the committee
insisted that not less than 121z per cent
of the gross annual receipts should be
paid into the insular treasury The
applicant and the committee differed
so widely on this question of royalty
that the ordinance was declined The
however. adhered to its de-
cision and had the satisfaction within
the last few weeks of seeing the ordi-
nance accepted. The company is now
about to begin the construction of its
lines under an ordinance that not only
reserves the right to the executive COM
mittee to regulate the tariff of tele-
phone charges and to amend and alter
it at any time but reserves the right
to amend, alter and repeal the ordi-
nance itself.
1T also permits the insular govern
meht to purchase the property at any
time upon fair valuation. BESIDES
providing that no stock or bond divi-
dends shall be declared the ordinance
forbids the issuance of stock and bonds
except in exchange for actual cash or
property at a fair valuation equal 10
the amount of the par value of the
stock and bonds issued. AS an addi-
tional consideration, the governor.
heads of departments and police au-
thorities have the free use of the tele-
phone wires both in transmitting and
receiving messages relating to the puo-
lie business.
GOVERNMENT A GOOD PARTNER
This is simply an example of the
careful provision contained in all such
ordinances. Public rights are protect
ed on all points At first investors
were of the opinion that we We're too
strict and made many demands and
reserved too many rights. but they have
since learned that when the govern
nent accepts a royalty as its compen-
sation for a concession it becomes a
partner in the enterprise and makes
partner we'll worth having, partner
that pays dividends and works for sue
cess as earnestly rs a private citizen
might work. While we grant no ex-
elusive rights in Porto Rico, neyerthe-
less in practice we permit no cornpeu-
ton. Having entered into the partner
ship, the government does not propose
to have competitors come into the
same field. 1t can fairly take this
stand, because in the ordinances 1t al
ways reserves, the right to regulate
charges. The public, therefore. can be
Iprotected against exorbitant rates and
the investor against destructive com
Ipetition.
80 desirable partner has the gov
Iernment become that a few weeks ago
"a prominent Spanish company holding
La lawful concession of Spanish origin

A CITY OF DESTINY.
An Old Timers Prophecy Regarding
the Future Of 0eming.
COMPARED WITH DENVER YEARS AGO.

Special Correspondence.
Deming, n. M, June 21.-Over for
ty years ago Governor Gilpin of Colora
do stood before a small row of shan
ties in front of a log cabin saloon in
what is now the city of Denver. and
prophesied a great future for Denver
and the state of Colorado. The words
of the good old pioneer cannot be re-
ported verbatim at this late day, but
the substance will still be remembered
by some of the old timers of that day.
1t was a motley looking crowd, un-
shaver, roughly clad, hardy, sun-burn-
ed veterans Of adventure underneath
whose Unframed buckskins and rough
clothes beat some as brave
and noble hearts as ever crossed the
plains. There were college graduates,
