SUGAR MAGNATES
ESCAPE PRISON
Court Decides Violations of e.
kins Act Punishable
Only by Fine.

New York, July 6-Judge Holl, in the
United States circuit court, today handed
down an opinion the effect of which is TO
dismiss the indictments found against
Nathan Guilford, vice president, and c.
+. 6 Pomeroy, traffic manager of the
New York Central railroad. and G. G..
Edgar and L. Earle, the latter a sugar
merchant of Detroit. charging them with
conspiracy to violate the provisions of the
Elkins rebating act, punishable by i'm
prisonment The court, however. holds
that the indictments against the New
York Central road. Guilford and Pome-
roy, found under the Elkins act are good
and sustains them, so far as they are
punishable BY fine.
In sustaining the demurrer to the con-
spiracy indictments and dismisSing the
demurrer to the other Indictments. the
court holds that congress did not intend
violations of the Elkins law to be punish
able by Imprisonment. Judge Holl fur
Their holds that the amendment to the
Elkins act providing a punishment by inn
prisonment was not retroactive and there
fore could not include the men charged
with conspiracy.
The American Sugar Refining company,
Jointly indicted with the New York Cen
trail, pleaded not guilty but interposed no
demurrer to the indictment, preferring ev-
identity to stand trial under the indict-
mentS as returned.

Equitable Pays Over $4,000 on
Policy Issued to Late STAN

New York, July 6.-The widow of
Stanford White was today paid by
the Equitable Life Assurance society
$4,000. which was the value of a sin
gle policy Mr.. White had carried on
This life for number of years.
There are several policies for COM
laratively small amounts issued by the
4quitable on the life of Mr.. White,
h which no claim for payment has yet
fbSen presented. The face value of
these policies is about $4,000, but their
value 10 the .beneficiaries is $4,000.
When Mr.. White took out these poll
cies his physical condition was not per-
feet. and the contract he made with
the Equitable provided that if death
occurred within a certain period a re-
duction of a stipulated percentage
should be made from the face value of
each policy. The bullet which Harry
Thaw fired into the architects brain
terminated his life within the period
mentioned in the policies and conse-

Millions and Millions and Millions
in Promises.

Beresford Hope arrived in Salt Lake
City from London in the fall of 1905. Al
most Immediately he came to The Herald
with an article on the opportunities for
investment in Utah mines. This story
was printed in The Herald. Mr.. Hope
asked space for an article on the ease
with which British capital could be in
terested But The Herald became sus-
piciCus and refused him further use of
its columns.
For several weeks Hope was missed He
had a room at the New Southern hotel,
but could not he found there. Late i'll
February he returned to Salt Lake from
the City of Mexico. where he stated he
had been looking after some business in
terests.

He turned his whole attention TO mining
interests. The first property he proposed
TO buy vas the Bingham Glance Copper
company. He called on ]. B. Edmunds.

Comment of Prosecutor.

1.-THE public" said United States Attor-

Queer Transaction in Mexican Coal LandS-Propery Not
Owned as CIamed-More Millions and Millions Prom
iSed, but Nothing Is Forthcoming

While Beresford Hope, the financial
star of the west is far away in Boston
securing millions of dollars" for gigantic
traction deals and mining interests, his
offices were closed yesterday by John
Draper his secretary. and Pauline
Browning his stenographer, for lack of
funds. Openly they repudiate his repre-
sensations and say they never expect to
receive their money.
A draft for s11,5G0 which Hope promised
to give for his share to subscribed stock
in the International Trust company has
been dishonored.
Ezra I. Stevenson of the Deseret Ma
tional bank. who has been associated with
ences, is on his way from Boston, where
he went to investigate Hope. Brief tele-
grams have been received from Mr.. Ste
venson have prepared the other men
interested for unpleasant revelations.
Despite the exposes made by The Her
aid at the time Hope announced his stu
pendouS plans to buy practically every
thing in sight save the Mormon temple,
he maintained vigorously that every deal
would go through and the other neWspa-
pers champiOned him. Armed with a GER
tificate of character signed by David &c
cles of Ogden and Lafayette HO1brOOk of
Provo Hope left three weeks ago yes
terday morning for Boston. He was ac-
companied by John A. Bagley, former at
torney of Idaho. Hope announced that
he had received cable from Henry Hal
sted, a representative of British millions
stating that he would await his arrival
there and that the millions would be
ready for him to throw broadcast over
the commercial and mining fields of
Utah, Idaho and the entire west.

Queer Deal in Mexico.
Many revelations have come out with
Hopes transactions. On top of his re-
pudiatiOn by the financial magnates
whose names he used in connection with
the Intermountain Consolidated Railroad
company he went on with various
schemes. Among other things he an
nOunced that he had secured vast tract
of land in Mexico. with five miles of rail
road in connection, which was to consti-
tute the basis of the Western Coal & Coke
company He took an option on this land
while in Mexico on a trip with DIR. VIII
cox. Incidentally, Hope created surprise
by turning down a proposition. Up to
that time Hope had agreed to buy every
thing ne looked ct, but he turned down
a silver mine in Mexico in which Ezra 7.
Stevenson and Dr.. Wilcox are interested.
On returning to Salt Lake Hope told d..
wilcox he was going adead with the deal
for the coal lands, which were bought
from man by the name of Mackenzie.
Hope showed a check for $1,000, which
he said he was mailing TO Mackenzie. On
the strength of this DR. Wilcox took part
in the organization of the company. After
Hope went to Boston DIR. Wilcox grew
suspicious and wired TO Mexico to find
out if Hope had paid for the land He
received an answer stating that not 4
cent had been advanced. Nevertheless,
Hope was still talking up his Western
Coal & Coke company.
Investigations Unsatisfactory.
Joseph A. Silver was promised $4,000 to
enlarge his iron works. Before getting into
the affair too deeply Mr.. Silver cabed to
London to have Hope investigated He
received a reply that Hope would be
looked up. Since that time Mr.. Silver has
been waiting for some word. He believes
that up to date they have been unable
TO find Hopes financial record.
l.. r. Martineau wrote to LOndUl two
months ago TO have Hope looked tp and
his connection with certain firms. Up
until last night no word had come of
Hopes connection with British capital
lists.
The Herald also made an investigation
in New York and London. The British
American Securities Limited company,
with which Hope did all his business.
could not be found in England or Amer
lea. The letter-head contained the names
of all the financial kings of the old
world. but they know of no such person
as Hope nor such company the Brit

ing that the partnership agreement of the
firm of Mitchell & Tanner had been in
existence several years, whereas it was
less than three months old. This agree
ment affected the division of attorney S

Some Few of His Enterprises.

Among the enterprises which Hope was
to finance with the millions thus secured
are the following:
The Intermountain Consolidated Railway
company, capitalized with s25OOO.O00, of
which amount Hope was to secure S24,-
COG. COO
Flotation of s50O0Oo bonds for the i'm
provement of David Eccies' Ogden RAPID
International Trust company, capitalized
at $50, CO.,
Western Coal * Coke company with
necessary railroads requiring s5,OOO.0O0
Securing $4,000 for Joseph A Silver to
enlarge the Silver Bros. Iron works.
Crystal Lime & Cement company, to
be supplied with several hundred thous-

Untold millions were to be supplied the
two real estate companies which he had
organized in Salt Lake.
When Hope left Salt Lake he gave or
ders to draw on him in Boston as soon
as he arrived there for s11 800. The draft
was placed in the Deseret National bank
two weeks ago. but up until last night ii
had not been hOnored. The draft is be-
ing held in Boston until deposit is made
covering it, and Hopes associates are
holding the sack for the millions which
he declared would be forthcoming.
