Dor, amounted In value TO $68.000, 900.
against s4O,0OO,O00 in March, 1908,
while the fact that the import prices
OF nearly all of the principal articles
are less than year ago shows that
the grain In quantity is even greater
than indicated by the mere figures of
value.

mate OF time on a division of the to-
tai amount to be excavated by the
yearly excavation at present. Then,
too, the Gatun dam and locks and
the manufacture and adjustment Of
the gates may take longer time than
the excavation itself. so that II is wis
er to count on the date set. The en-
thusiastic supporters OF the sea-level
canal, basIng their calculation on the
amount of material now being ex-
cavated, and upon the total amount
to be cxcavated for sea-leyel canal,
reach the conclusion that the sea-level
canal could be constructed in a COM
parauyely short time as compared
with the estimate Of twelve or fifteen
years, made at the time of the de-
cision In favor of the lock type. They
have fallen into the error. already
pointed out, Of assuming that the pre-
sent rate of excavation could continue
as the work Of building the sea-level
canal went on, which in the case of
the sea-levol canal Is even more
erroneous and misleading than In the
case OF the lock canal, for the reason
that the construction, below the forty
foot level above the sea down to the
level OF forty feet below the sea, Is
work of the most difficult character,
more than half Of it always under
water, and necessitating either pump
ing or dredging in rock and working
in narrow space. which greatly re-
duces the possible rate OF excavation.

been Ignored. His next mission Is
to put in motion the machinery OF the
law with which he is equipped for the
purpose of commanding respect for
his mandates.
Last week he was here and sampled
the milk from all the dairies, taking
ten samples. He reports that only
one of the samples met tho require
ments of the pure food law. He took
samples from the tables of hotels and
found the same conditions. Since
then he has sent out warning letters
notifying the dairy and hotel people
that repetition will bring upon them
a heavy penalty. Hotel men are not
altogether to blame. as they accept
the milk as pure and unadulterated
but they are held equally responsible
with the millSmen for the quality OF
the milk served on their tables.
Following this investigation will
come an inspection Of the dairies sup
plying Ogden with milk Mr.. Hansen
says he is resolved to have pure milk
furnished tho cities of Utah, as he
feels the responsibility which rests
with him In safeguarding the health
OF the children, particularly the in.

dreds OF deaths are yearly traced to
impure milk fed TO babies, and II Mr,
Hansen can stop In part that destruc.

OF such crusade here, Ogden should

RUSSIAN SECT OF
 THE CRIMSON GOD"

St. Petersburg, June 15.-Dispatches received here from Perm, European Russia, say the local police have be- gun an investigation into the sect of the Crimson God" the members of which are accused of human sacrifices and various other horrible practices. Repeated disappearances of people in the districts where the sects dwell threw suspicion on the organization which worshipped a wooden idol col ored, according to the statements of the county people, wlln human blood. The police have located a secret grave containing the mutilated body of man supposed to have been sacrificed and they expect to find others.
 The Ural region, of which Perm is the center, is a breeding ground for many fanatical cults. It is a meeting place of the pagan tribes of Asia as will as persons who flee from Russia on account of religious persecution.

CRIMINAL RICH
 IAN BE PUNISHED
New York Lawyer Severely
 Scores the Sugar Trust
LAW IS OFTEN VIOLATED
Samuel untermeyer, Who Is counoel For Independent Sugar Refinery, Tells of Monopolstic Work
 of the Trust.

New York, June 15.-"Whenever the government really wants to bring the criminal rich who are managing these corporations that are notoriously vio- lating the criminal law within the pen alties of that law, it will not be diff ficult. There never has been an honest effort to enforce the ample provisions of the law against the monster monopo- lies. Somehow 1t looks like the power of these men is too much for the gov ernment."
 The foregoing sums up in brief the gist of a statement issued in New York today by Samuel Uhtermeyer, who was counsel for Adolph Segal of Philadel- pha, builder of the Pennsylvania Sugar Refinery which has just forced a settlement from the American Sugar Refinery company, or the trust, in the federal courts. The statement was Issued Just before MT. Untermeyer de- parted for Europe and was in a way In answer to inquiries as t0 whether his client, MT. Segal intended to press the prosecution of the sugar trust on the DdslS that lHe ieOShI 9o''iSiASiAs was a practical admission of guilt.
 What would be the use," said the law yer. "The sugar company has been constant lawbreaker ever since its birth. It's activities in Congress have been one of the scandals of the country for many years. It has robbed the public and ruined it's would-be competitors. But It is no worse than many of the others in its criminal methods and not quite so bad as some This suddenly aroused vir- tuous abhorrence of it's methods is amus- ing It accidentally happens at the mo- ment to be the scapegoat, but as the gov ernment had waited until after the prln- cipal offenders are dead it does not much matter
