not be a darkened, narrow and ex-
elusive place-that invites mar

SUIT AGAINST
SUGAR TRUST
John D. SpreCkeIS Testifies
Concerning the Interest of
Havemeyer in Company.

San Francisco, Sept. John D.
Spreckeis, president of the Western
Sugar Refining company, testified yes
terday before United States Commits
sioner Richards in regard to the rela-
tons existing between his company
and the American Sugar Refining COM
pany of New York, the so-called Have
meyer sugar trust. 1t was established
by his testimony that Havemeyer and
his men own a large minority Of the
stock of the Western Sugar Refining
company, but he denied that either he
or his father, Claus Spreckels. has any
interest in the American Sugar Rein
ing company. He declared that the
price of sugar on the coast was held
low enough to prevent competition
from Havemeyer except in a few spe-
cial grades which the Western does
not manufacture. Spreckels' testimony
is to be used in a suit brought by the
receiver of the Pennsylvania SUGAR
company against the American Refin-
ing company for $50, 900, 900 damages, as
the result of the Havemeyer interest
getting control of the PENNSYLVANIA
concern and shutting down the plant.
The suit is both for conspiracy and for
violation of the Sherman antitrust
law, and is brought in the United
States district court of New YorktF

ALBUQUERQUE THE NEXT MEET
ING PLACE.

Sacramento, Cal, Sept. THE effort
to have the fifteenth irrigation con-
gress pass q resolution presented by
Judge Raker, calling for the withdraw
al OF the duty levied on timber. has
failed. Another important action of
the gathering today was it's decision
10 eliminate a resolution protesting
against the enactment of any further
legislation favoring Philippine sugar.
With this latter exception, the report
of the committee on resolutions was
adopted as read, and the policy of
President Roosevelt and his admins
tration in relation to reclamation, con-
servation of water and forests and
other matters was endorsed.
On Account of Harmony"
Judge Raker withdrew his motion,
for the purpose of harmony, but the
sugar question was only settled after
great discussion, the friends of the beet
sugar industry making a strong fight
in their interests. The sentiment in
favor of eliminating politics from the
congress was responsible for the with
drawal of the lumber and sugar propo-
sitions.
Arthur Briggs succeeded in getting
the congress TO pass MS resolution in
the interests of California fruit grow
ers, in relation to the use Of sulphur
In drying fruit. The resolution asks
the department of agriculture not TO
enforce the regulation of the pure food
law in the matter without further in
vestigation.

found murdered in her home at 423 Davis

Mr.. and Mrs. Fish were heard by their
night, and 1t Is believed that Fish arose
early today and. after discharging a shot
into his wifes head, he mutilated her in
a horrible fashion with a butchers clea-
yer. A servant girl declared that she
heard the report OF a shotgun early this
morning, and the cleaver was found lying
on the bed beside Mrs. Fish. Mr.. Fish
formerly was associated with a prominent
commission house. but had recently re-
tired from business on account of poor
health and attacks of dependency.

Late today he became so violent it was
found necessary to remove him to a san
itarium. 1t is said by physicians that he
is undoubtedly insane.

WILL PROSECUTE BACHELORS
Who Have Enticed Eastern Girls to
Oklahoma.

Temple, Okla. Unlawful use Of the
mails is the charge to be preferred by
Federal authorities against the Rand
lett Bachelors Club Of R~andlett, Okla,
members of which, BY writing letters
to Eastern girls under fictitious names,
are accused of having caused dozens Of
young women to go to the town in quest
of husbands and fortunes.
Not being able to find the men with
whom they correspondent with a view
OF marriage, the girls are now left
stranded.
The case Of Lois Bamberger, 17years
old, Of Chicago, who arrived here last
Sunday, is typical. She spent four
days in quest of the man whom she
expected to marry, but could not find
him. The girl said the man sent his
photograph and wrote ''the sweetest
of letters, SO that she could not help
falling in love with him.
United States Commissioner Bland
ing has taken the case up and every
effort will be made to prosecute the
men, whose real names are said to be
known!
