FINES OF S15o,ooo
For Relating Given American SUGAR
and Brooklyn Cooperage Cos.

New York, Dec. 11.--Fines aggregat-
ing S15o0O0 We're imposed today by
Judge Holt in the United States cir
cult court on the American Sugar Re-
lining Co, and the Brooklyn Cooperage
Co. after the defendants, through
counsel, had pleaded guilty to indict-
ments charging the acceptance of re-
bates on sugar shipments in violation
of the Elkins anti-rebating act Tho
sugar refining company was fined $780,.
900 and the cooperage company So.

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 was sufficiently large to act as
a deterrent to rcbatorS in the future,
and that the government would consent
TO the remainder of the indictments
against the American Sugar Refining
Co. and the Brooklyn Cooperage Co. be-
ing dismissed.
Judge Holt granted a motion dis

Of Grand Larceny From
the Mutual Reserve Co.
American Sugar and Brooklyn
Cooperage Fined $4,000.
Standard Oil Trying to Escape In
the Ohio Courts.

New York, Dec. 11.-GcOrge Burn.
ham. Jr, a vice president and general
counsel Of the Mutual Reserve Life
Insurance Co. today was convicted Of
larceny of $500 of the company'S
funds. The prosecution and conviction
of Burnham was an outgrowth of the
investigation Of insurance companies
in this state by legislative commit
tee a year ago. Two other officers Of
the insurance company, lEredk. A.
Burnham, president, and George d.
Eldridge, vice president, were indicted
at the same time as the man who was
convicted today. Five indictments
were returned against each Of the de-
PENDANTS. The charge against George
Burnham. Jr., is that in 1901 he paid
J. Douglass Wells with company funds
for loan alleged to have been made
10 Fredk. A. Burnham, the president
and that the payment was concealed
by false entries in the books of the in
Surance company.
One of the sensational features OF
the trial which ended today was the
production of check by the prosecu-
ton which bore the name of Louis +.
Payn. former superintendent Of insur-
ance and the United States Express
Co. of which United States Senator
Platt is president. 1t was not claimed,
however. that Durham paid the
amount of this check to Mr.. Payn, but
that it was used to resist an alleged
demand by Payn for 100000 from the
Life Insurance Co.
The prosecution charged that Pres.
Fredk. A. Durham borrowed $5575
from J. Douglass Wells saying that he
wanted the money to meet this alleged
demand by Payn and that George
Burnham repaid his loan with addi-
tions from the fund of the company.
In charging the jury Justice Green
baum informed them that in order to
arrive at verdict of guilty they must
find that the alleged fraud was COM
mitted with felonious intent.
The jury was out four hours before
returning a verdict of guilty.
by request of his counsel, further
proceedings were postponed until Fri
day and Burnham was remandcd to
the Tombs prison.

Hon. j. A.. Overbey. of Urich.

candidate for State Senator from
the 10th Senatorial District. 81
far as we know he is the only
man that has been mentioned for
this position. We are not per
sonally acquainted with him but
from his reputation We believe
him to be the man to nominate.
His own county paper, the Henry
County Republican, says this of
him:
Those who know Mr.. Oyerbey
best will be most enthusiastic in
his support He is eminently
qualified to fill this position; is a
strong campaigner; a magnetic
speaker and will carry the full
strength of his own party and
undoubtedly receive the votes Of
