The board again afiirms its belief and

to the college by Miss Jeanes. 1t was
supposed at the time the bequest was

transferred and that the land in Carbon
county contains no coal or other mineral.
and that the tract In Luzerne county. from
a mining standpoint. has been nearly
worked out. This property. including Miss
Jeanes interest in the Hazelbrook col

Carbon county land is estimated as being
worth from $4,000 to $4,000 and the
entire bequest at possibly $47 1000. and
probably not more than $4,000. 1t IS
also pointed out that as the Carbon coun-
ty property contains no mineral or coal
the college might have to take legal steps
to prove its right to accept it. since the

According to the witness a former en-

When the sugar that had been weighed
was placed back on the scale platform
after the wire had been removed it was
found that there was a loss Of fourteen
pounds in each thousand weight. As an
average of 5000 pounds, of sugar was
placed on the scale platform each minute,
it was estimated that in each hour the
government was defrauded out of the Gus
tom on $3.50 pounds Of sugar. If all the
scales were in operation at the same time
and the wire attachment was worked on
each. there would be total of 42S4O

a fiend threw red pepper in the

that would lead to the apprehen-

to take human life to gain
possession of few paltry dollars
without honest toll.
