HEAVY FINES
NEW YORK JUDGE ORDERS TWO
REBATE RECEIVERS TO PAY
LARGE SUMS.

New York, Dec. 12.-Fines aggregat.
ing $150,0OO were imposed by Judge
Holt in the United States circuit
court upon the American Sugar Rein.
ing company and the Brooklyn Cooper
age company. after the defendants
through counsel had pleaded guilty to
indictments charging the acceptance
Of rebates on sugar shipments in vio-
lation Of the Elkins antirebating act.
The sugar refining company was fined
$4,000 and the cooperage company
$4,000.
After the fines were imposed United
States District Attorney Stimson. who
conducted the prosecution. told the
court that he thought the amount Of
the fines assessed was sufficiently
large to act as a deterrent to re-
baters in the future and that the gov
eminent would consent to the re-
mainder of the indictments against
the American Sugar Refining company
and the Brooklyn Cooperage company
being dismissed. Judge Holt granted
a motion dismissing the other indict-
ments.

CONVICTED OF LARCENY.
Insurance Company Official Found
Guilty in New York. :,

New York, Dec 12.-George Burn.
ham. Jr., vice president and general
counsel Of the Mutual Reserve Life
Insurance company, has been convict
ed Of larceny Of $500 of the COM
Dany's funds. The prosecution and
conviction of Burnham were an out
growth Of the investigation of insur-
ance companies in this state by leg
fslative committee a year ago. Two
other officers Of the insurance COM
pany, Frederick A. Burnham, presi-
dent, and George d. Eldridge, vice
president, were indicted at the same
time as the man who has been con-
victed. Five indictments were re-
turned against each Of the defendants.
The charge against George Burnham,
Jr., is that In 1901 he paid J. Douglass
Wells with company funds for a loan
alleged to have been made to Fred
erick A. Burnham, the president, and
that the payment was concealed by
false entries in the books of the insur-
ance company.
One OF the sensational features Of
the trial was the production of check
by the prosecution which bore the
name Of Louis F. Payn, former super
intendent of insurance OF New York
state, and the United States Express
company, of which United States Sen
ator Plat is president. It was not
claimed, however, that Burnham paid
the amount of this check to Mr.. payn,
but that it was used to resist an al
legged demand by Payn for 100000
from the life insurance company.
The prosecution charged that Presi-
dent Frederick A. Burnham borrowed
s5.575 from J. Douglass Wells, saying
that he wanted the money to meet this
alleged demand by Payn, and that
George Burnham repaid this loan with
additions from the funds Of the COM
pany.

SPEECH BY BURROWS
DEALS WITH QUESTION OF REED
SHOOTS RIGHT TO A SEAT
IN THE SENATE.
ARRAlGNs MORMON CHURCH
DECLARES IT Is NOT ENTITLED
TO A REPRESENTATIVE IN
THE UPPER HOUSE.

Washington, Dec. 1.-THE question
Of Senator Reed Shoots right to a
seat as United States senator from
Utah was discussed by Senator Bur-
rows in the senate for more than three
hours. The senator had carefully pre-
pared his speech, which received the
closest attention throughout by large
attendance Of senator's and crowded
galleries. Senator Smoot occupied his
place in the chamber.
No Interruptions were made during
the entire speech, which was an ar.
raignment of Mormanism and the re-
sponsibility which attached to Mr..
Smoot for Norman principles as a
member of the apostolic body of the
church.
Coming to the connection of Senator
Smoot with the hierarchy Mr.. Burrows
said:
"The vital question, therefore, Is:
Can one become a member of and
identify himself with a band of law
breakers and yet escape all RESPONSE.
bility for their unlawful acts? Such a
contention will not stand the test of
either law or reason" Senator Bur.
rows concluded as follows:
'An organization that fosters and
encourages crime; desecrates the
home; degrades womanhood; de.
bauches public morals; registers an
oath of hostility to the American ma.
toni submit that such an organiza-
ton is not entitled to have its repre-
sentative In the senate of the United
States"
During the morning hour the senate
listened to the reading Of President
Roosevelt's special message on Porto
Rico.
The presidents message dealt with
the prosperity OF Porto Rico under
American rule and expressed the hope
that full American citizenship would
be conferred upon the people of Porto
Rico.

glary occurred at the home of William
Weaver, southeast of the city, Satur-
day afternoon, and S25 was secured, in
addition to other yaluables. 1t is be-
lieved that the burglary at the Cooper
home was perpetrated by trampS. An
entrance to the house was gained by
prying open a window, and the marks
which they left on the casing prove
that they were amateurs. Seven win
dows were tried before one was found
which could be opened. Tracks in
snow in the back of the yard reveal
the fact that the burglary was commit
ted by two men. 1t seems rather
strange that anyone could break into
a house at that time of the evening
without being detected, as people were
constantly passing, and, moreover,
other houses are only few feet away
1t is thought that the burglar at the
Weaver home was familiar with the
premises, and knew where the valua-
bles were Kept. The theft was detect
ed shortly after the deed had been COM
mitted. but as the police were not noti-
fled until late in the evening, there
was good opportunity for escape.
