ARRESTS IN wARRINER CASE.

Mrs. Stewart, the woman in the
Warriner case OF the Big Four Rail
way, at Cininnatl seems TO try to
create the impression that others
further up" are implicated in the
lOoting OF the company. 1t has been
surmised by the suspicious tnat the
case against Warmer Will never be
permitted to come 10 trial. One per-
son discussing it said that legal in
vestigation OF Warriner might show
up n line or rebates and other unlaw-
i,Ir practices that would be highly
dlsadvantageous and hence he expect
ed to see Warriner slip through the
legal moose. As the prosecution of
.warriner would not reimburse the
corporation and as these companies
care little for puDnc morals the sus-
plcion is raised on general principles
that Warriner will be allowed TO es-
cape. But after all ii is doubtful II the
matter will be passed espe tally since
indictments have been found so
promptly. Anyhow the case will be
watched sharply The suspicious and
the pessimistic may be overworking
their surmises. warriner and Mrs.
Stewart nave been arrested and are
IN Jail. other arrests OF assistant
black mailers are expected to fol-
low. {?

VEHICLE MANsLAUGHTER.

This Is at the rate of 264 deaths a

Der OF lives we're TO be lost through
what are classed as extraordinary ac-
cidents, through the burning OF thea
tres and excursion steamers or by the
collapse OF buildings, the evil would
be taken in hand for immediate cor
rection 1t is the failure to realize
the cumulative morality of the al
most daily sacrifice OF life in the

men CAUGHT
Two Well Known Finan-
ciers Believed to Have
Been Indicted.
BY uuited Press Wire

New York, Nov 27-Special gov
eminent prosecutor Henry l.. .Stim-
son. his assistant, Wilfred Denison
and District Attorney Wise were in
conference today regarding the pro-
gram OF the government rconnec-
ton with the sugar prosecution. The
federal grand jury now in session has
voted certain indictments. Rumor has
1t that these are dire ted against Of
iicials OF the American Sugar Refining
company, and that they include at
least two men who have been promin-
ent TOR many years in the world OF
finance. ,.-,.
Under ordinary procedure these in
dictments would be presented to the
court next week, the men named ar
rested AMI compelled to plead. The
government officials are reported to
nave conferred today on this point
and 1t has been decided that the in
dlctments must De held up for time
II is expected they will be reported
TO the court on Monday or Tuesday
and placed under seal.
The reason for this Is that the eoy-
eminent expects to bring out at the
trial of the former weighers, dock
superintendent and superintendent OF
the trusts refinery in williamsburg.
which begins on Monday certain evi-
dence that will warrant the further
indictment OF the men against whom
the sitting grand jury has already
voted true bills. Mtss..
The news from Washington thet
Senators Borah and Culberson plan
to force senate investigations OF
the sugar trust is not very pleasing
to the officials concerned with tho
original prosecution of the law-brealf-
ers in the trust. They aver that the
trust is behind the plan for q con-
eressional investigation, in order to
secure for the men guilty OF de-
frauding the government an immuni-
ty bath which will prevent convic-
tlons. Because OF this ut 40 asserted

That's Why Smoot was

Cleveland. o., Nov Pa Wash
ington despatch to the Cleveland
Press today says:
The Mormon church and the sugar
trust have been for several years in
partnership and they together con-
trol eighty-five per cent of the best
,ugar industry in the United States
These facts will be proved by an in
,estigation to be made by congress
.ouring the coming winter. by the pro-
duction of the minutes OF the sugar
trusts directors meetings covering a
period of seven years. The minutes
were secured through former di-
rector of the trust, and the documents
are now in vault in Washington.
They will be produced when needed.
II Is unnecessary to say that the
inside view of the sugar trusts oper-
etions furnished by the stenographic
cotes of the boards doings will ex-
lain in way which may legitimate
y be called sensational.
1t will show why Senator Aldrich
turned over to Senator Smoot, of
Utah. the management of the sugar
schedules on the floor of the senate
last winter. when the tariff act was
under consideration.
1t will show how Aldrich has act
ed as representative of the sugar
trust in the United States senate. 1t
will show that no new beet sugar
factories have been started during
the past five years, except upon the
approval of the sugar trust.
1t will show the connection of va
rious prominent hnanciers and politi-
clans with the criminal operations by
which the customs service has been
cheated, secret rebates secured. COM
petition suppressed and the antitrust
.aw violated. 1t will show what was
done by the sugar trust in vain ef-
.ort to head off the investigation
started by President Roosevelt when
he appointed Special Agent Parr and
ty Collector Loeb. ~ .A,.t
1t will show conclusively that Aid
rich has beel, the political sponsor
as the business partner of the sugar
trust for years.
These are few things which are at
the disposal of any committee which
may desire honestly to investigate the
corrupt activities Of the sugar trust.
1t is understood that everv effort
will be made TO head or to secure
control of the investigation started
into the nastiness of the sugar trust
The Aldrlch influence in the senate
VIII be powerful to this end In the
house of representatives, Speaker
Cannon and his ways and means COM
mittee are relied upon for the same
purpose.
There are two plans for heading off
the investigations: The first Is to send
the resolution to commit which
will be in its grave yard; the second
is to turn the investigation over to a
committee packed in favor of the
trust. A packed committee could drag
the matter along and cumber the
record with enough dead wood to
overwhelm what facts might other
wise be revealed.
