FRIDAY EVENING, JULY 6, 1906.

In THE course of his great act OF T.
nancial legerdemsin, wherein he showed
that if one deducts $40, 900, 600 from
the appropriations and has good luck
with the revenues, be will get a surplus
of $40, 900, 900, Mr.. Tswney said that
"the extent which the people demand
that the federal government shall per-
form services that should be paid by the
States" accounts for the great aggregate
of appropriations. He has no authority
for saying that the people demand that
food inspection shall be performed by
the national government; they would b.
a, well pleased if the States would per-
form all their duties, and very likely the
States would if federal justices had not
circumscribej their prerogaiives. But
what is particularly worth noticing Is
that the chairman of the appropriations
committee recognizes that the federal
government is performing functions that
are the duties of the States. One more
republican confesses that his party has
gone beyond the constitutional limits IN
aggrandizing the central power.

Demurrer sustained.

New York, July 6.-Tne sugar trust
cases were thrown out of court Iodsy.
Judge Holt, 10 the United States Dis
trict Court, handed down a decision sus-
tanning the demurrer entered by counsel
for Nathan GUlford and f. l.. PomerOy,
who were indicted by the federal grand
jury Jointly with the New York Central
Railroad and the American Sugar r.
6ning Company, together with officers Ut
the two las named companies for viola
ton of the Elkins rebate law. Judge
Holt also dismissed the charge of con-
spiracy found against Guildford and
Pomeroy, aud the New York Centr |
Railroad, under section 5440 o. the re-
vised statutes. In his decision Judge
Holt saws that the Elkins act, passed in
June of this year, is not retroactive and
that even if Ofienses we're committed by
the defendant, which are made punish
able under this act, they were committed
prior to the enactment OF the law. The
defendants cannot be held liable under
this act. He also holds that section
544O does not provide for imprisonment
for offenders OF that section and that the
indictment found by the grand jury is
therefore defective.
The decision does not interfere with
other findings of the grand jury in these
cases. In fact, it uphoIds them. Gull
ford, PomerCy, Edgar aud Earle are held
to answer to charges of violations of the
Elkins rebate law. Three officials of
the American Sugar Company are also
held under an indictment handed down
by the grand jury. The accused trust
and railroad officials will probably De
brought to trial late this month.
