pitR1.

NEW YORK, FEB. B.-Mrs. william X.
Vanderbilt, sr.. has given more than $1,000
coo, 1t was announced today. for the erec-
ton of four model tenements for persons
suffering with tuberculosis. The buildings
are to be operated in connection with DR..

the Presbyterian hospital and are to be
known as the Shively sanitary tenements.
A moderate rental will be charged the

The group of four tenements is to be
erected on a large plot close to the East
river. The four buildings, provided with
ample light shafts, large courts and attrac-
tive roof, parlors and gardens, will be six
stories in height and win contain about

DR.. shively said:
"There will be the large central courts,
thirty feet square at the center of each
building, providing ample light and air
at the back Of each apartment and the
roofs will be utilized and will be made as
attractive as possible to encourage out
door life on the part of tenants"
Sugar Company Begins Defense.
The government rested it's case today in
the trial Of the actions against the Ameri-
can Sugar Refining company to recover
back duties for alleged fraudulent weigh
ing OF imports. Judge Holt denied the mo-
tion, made by counsel for the defense, to
dismiss the indictment with the remark
that there was sufficient evidence to pro-
hibit the taking of the case from the jury.
The defense then opened its case with a
declaration by Lawyer Cochrane of coun-
sci for the defense that no employe, act
ing within the scope of his duty, ever took
part in any fraud. Mr.. Cochrane added
that the responsible officers of the com
pany would take the stand and disclaim
any knowledge of the alleged frauds.
AS United States District Attorney Den
nison, who is conducting the government
case, announced today that the govern
ment had decided TO claim forfeiture only
on action No. ., which is the legal desig-
nation for the cargo of the Strathyre that
was ordered reweighed by the special
agents at the time of the raid on the COM
pany's docks. This reduces the govern
ment's claims for damages from $500 C
to $500 in round numbers. The other
five suits which are combined in this ac-
ton will stand, 1t was said, and the
claims under them wifi amount to about
\ $3.50, 600.

That is just what the commission

knows it. The question of the" great
