SUGAR WEIGHtRS
UNDER ARREST
FOR FRAUD
Government Going After MAN
Higher Up
HAvEMEYER MAN ON TRIAL
Federal Authorities Hope to Secure
Evidence from Thomas kehoe
Who Tricked Government

New York, May 6.-The Federal
authorities have started after the
man higher up" who, they assert,
is responsible for the weighing frauds
at the Brooklyn pier of the American
Sugar Refining Company. One OF the
first steps in this direction was taken
Yesterday when Thomas kehoe,
checker and weigher at the Have
meyer & Elder dock. was arrested IN
Brooklyn by Deputy United States
Marshal, following Kehoe's indict-
ment by the Federal Grand Jury.
Five other employees of the sugar
company are under Indictment as a
result of the irregularities in weigh
ing sugar which recently cost the
American Sugar Refining Company
more than $2.O00,000 in back duties.
Kehoe was indicted also in December
1907, with the other five sugar COM
pany employees on similar charges to
those in the latest indictment against
him.
The Government authorities who
are pushing the criminal case against
the sugar company hope to learn
much from Kehoe. He was in charge
of one of the company's scales two
years ago when device for trucking
the Government scales was discover
ed The authorities wish to know,
however, who authorized Kehoe to
tamper with the scales.
Kehoe is one of the so-called big
six indicted in December, 1907, after
the raid which took place in Novem-
Der of that year. The others were
Patrick j. Hennessy, James T. Hal
ligan. John r. Coyle, Jean NJ. Noel-
ker and Oliver Splitter Superinten-
dent of the Havemeyer & Elder refin-
cry dock, where the raid took place.
With the exception of Splitter, all the
other men who have been indicted
are still in the employ of the sugar
company. Splitter has not been seen
by the authorities for several months.
Just why they were never tried on
the old indictments is not known.
| Each gave 81 500 bail at the time of
their Indictment.
According to the Federal authorl-
ties, the big six had active charge
of the scales where the frauds were
| perpetrated In most of the scales
were found evidences of their having
been tempered with. The device in
use to trick the scales at that time
was a thin piece of iron which was
inserted through the wooden frame
of the scales and which interfered
with the mechanism.
This piece of iron was in evidence
in the trial of the suit, in which the
Government recovered several hun
| drpd thousand dollars In nDpai1
duties. Witnesses testified that Ke-
hoe received additional pay for the
work he did in connection with the
weighing on manipulated scales: also
that he had been discovered tamper-
ing with the scales several times be.
tween 1896 and 1907, and that in for
mer years devices other than the iron
| bar were used

CONGRESS CANNOT
ADJOURN BEFORE
MIDDLE OF JUNE
Senate Making Slow Progress
on AIdriCh Measure
PRESIDENT NOT IN FIGHT
Chief Executive Keeps Out of the
struggle-convinced that Long
Conference is Necessary

Washington, May 6.-The possible
ties of the passage of the tariff bill
and the adjournment of the special
session of Congress before June 10 or
July /, seem to have vanished. This
conclusion has been reached by the
President as a result of recent talks
with senators and representatives
and he made it known yesterday.
The senate is not making the head
way with the Aldrich measure that
was expected, and before the new
tariff law can be presented TO the
President for his action, theDe must
ensue long conference between the
representatives of the two Houses OF
Congress.
Among those who have followed the
trend of important legislation on the
tariff, there is a belief that the new
tariff revision bill remains to be
framed in conference. Whatever in
fluence President Taft feels he can
bring to bear in securing satisfac
tory measure will be exerted upon
the conferees. The President is
averse to being drawn into the fight
at any stage. and there is no thought
that he will be until the conferees
begin their consideration of the two
bills as passed by the House anC
Senate.
