LARGE AMOUNTS
PAID IN REBATE S
SUGAR TRUST MET ALL IT'S TRAF-
FIC EXPENSES OUT OF THESE
FUNDS.

NEW YORK, November 14.-At the
hearing of the sugar rebate case, dur
ing the examination of several impor-
tant witnesses Immediately after the
close of the prosecutions opening adj
dress it developed that the defense had
admitted i'm a signed stipulation that
the company had paid $4,000 to the
sugar company i'm the form of demur-
rage charges This is practically an
admission on the part of the defense Of
all the charges except that the $4,000
was paid as rebates.
Lowell NJ. Palmer, formerly traffic
manager for the sugar company, APP
peared as a witness for the prosecution.
1t came out that the witness had kept
a separate account in the Market and
Fulton National Banks FOR the traffic
department and that out Of abe sums
on deposit there the salaries of his va
rtous assistants and office force were
paid. 1t is said that the Federal au-
thorties expect to show before the trial
is over that the money deposited in his
account came entirely from rebates,
and that the sugar company practically
paid the expense of it's great traffic de-
partment out of the rebates it received,
The taking of evidence ended today.
It developed that the defense will call
no witnesses, but base it's argument
upon the plea that the overt acts alleg-
ed in the indictments do not come with
in the meaning of the Elkins law
Joseph Choate former ambassador to
Great Britain, has been retained by
the sugar company especially to argue
this point, which he will do tomorrow.
Alton B. Parker will lead the sugar
trust counsel.
