ARGUE $SO,OOO,OOO SUGAR SUIT
Attorneys Present Case in Which
Philadelphia Suicide Figures.
Henry w. Taft Appears for the De-
fense-VioIatiOn of Antitrust
Law Charged.

New York. April ga motion to strike
out certain matter from the answer of
The American Sugar Refining Company
in the suit for $50 geo for violation Of
the antitrust law. brought by the Penn
sylvania Sugar Refining Company. Of
Philadelphia. was argued to-day before
Judge LacOmbe ia the United States Cir
cult Court The suit grew out of the
financial mix-up which was revealed by
the suicide of Frank X Nipple, presi-
dent of the Real Estate Trust Company
of Philadelphia. Nipple killed himself
when his affairs went 10 smash about a
year ago.
He held about $500 shares Of stock, the
controlling interest. in the Pennsylvania
Sugar Refining Company, and he had
placed this stock in the hands OF Adolph
Segal. the Philadelphia promoter. In the
suit, argument TO clarity which was heard
to-day, conspiracy to ruin a rival concern
is alleged. The complaint alleges that the
American Sugar Refining Company
through Segal. negotiated a loan from
Gustave E. Kissel. The banker acting as
agent for the American company. The
American company gained this control
when SegaI turned over as part of the
collateral for the loan the $500 shares
of stock in the sugar company. which he
had obtained from Nipple
At to-day's argument Joseph Junkin. OF
Philadelphia, and H. S. Marshall, of the
law firm of Battle x Marshall, OF the
city, appeared for the Pennsylvania Sugar
Refining Company, and Henry W TAFT
the brother of Secretary Taft, for the de-
PENDANT. There was no attempt made
by counsel for either side 10 block the
effort 10 get az the main facts IN the
case. Mr.. Taft consented TO strike out
from his answer the allegation that II an
attempt had been made TO ruin the Penn
sylvania Sugar Refining Company il
would have been done by money fraudu-
lently obtained from the Real Estate
Trust Company, OF Philadelphia. OF which
Nipple was the head.
The only other point Of Importance
brought out during the hearing was the
contention OF the defendant that Adolph
Segal appeared to be a cOnspirator and a
necessary party TO the defendant II
held that the Pennsylvania company
could not recover because Segal was prin-
cipally interested IN the maintenance of
the suit as a large stakeholder. Judge
LacOmbe thought that this particular line
Of defense should be pleaded separately
so that the plaintiff could demur to it,
The counsel for the defendant consented
that this portion Of the defense should be
so tested.
The trial ands suit it was said to-day

TOLERATE BOSS RULE.
Americans Neglect Politics,
Says Woodrow Wilson.
AVERAGE MAN IS TOO BUSY
President of Princeton shows How
Government Is Run by Professional
Polificians-HovT ApDoiRtive Power
Is Superior TO Observation-Disclosures
Could BE a Boss If he Desired.

New York, April 26.-In the last lecture
in the course that he has been delivering
az Columbia University, DR.. Woodrow
Wilson, president of Princeton Univer-
sity, pointed out to-day that the United
States government is, In fact, one in
which the people do not and cannot rule.
He maintained that, because Of the null
rpHeity OF Offices that had grown up,
the people did not have the time to
choose. or thu ability to make an intel
Igent choice. and had done the most
natural thing and left the choice TO the
professional politicians, who were the po-
Eticai bosses.
There is nothing" said DR., Wilson.
''ln which the people are fooled so much
as in the election Of their officers.
remember once talking with man in
another State about a railroad commits
sion that was TO be elected, and ! asked
him if he really meant that the commits
sion was to be elected By the people.
He smiled, and looked at me before he
replied, Well, theoretically, yes
He added that knowing which political
party was il power. he could name six

mission. How much preferable it would
be TO have such things appointed by the
governor. whom the people know and can
watch, than by men whom the people
do not know, and consequently cannot
watch"
FaFOrs Concentration.
DR.. Wilson argued for the eoneentra-
ton Of responsibility in local governments
IN the hands of a few people. on whom
the citizens can keep an eye. This, he
said, was the case with the national gov
eminent. in which the President. with his
appointing power. was an absolute execu-
tive force,
And the people watch him" said the
speaker; they watch him every day. No
(as a smile passed over the audience),
am not referring to any particular Presi-
dent"
DR.. Wilson said that this was the rta-
son the President did not constitute him
self a great political boss, as he might
If he desired. The President can. il he
chooses he said, constitute himself ma
tional boss by reason Of his enormous
patronage"
Dr. Wilson also said there was a town
in Texas that was governed by five peo-
pie, and was one of the best governed
towns in the country. DR.. Wilson said
he would not do away with national par
ties, which We're necessary TO develop ma
tional opinions and national judgments.
