SUGAR SUIT TO
BE PROSECUTED
GOVERNMENT WILL APPEAL
FROM DECISION
Attorney General Cites Preceding
Opinions Held to, Be at Vari-
ance with Findings of
Judge Holt
1Ry Associated Pless.l

WASHINGTON, Oct. 27.-''The gov
ernment will at once institute an ap-
peal from this decision" announced
Attorney General Wickersham today
in reference to the action of Judge
Holt in the circuit court at New York
yesterday, sustaining the plea of the
statute of limitations interposed by
the defendants, Kissel and Harmed, TO
the indictment against them jointly
with the American Sugar Refining
company.
The attorney general said Judge
Hollis decision was of far-reaching
consequence.
The attorney general referred to
Judge Holt's decision, pointing out
that various decisions with respect TO
the application of the statute of liml-
tations were at variance, and that 1t
was impossible to harmonize them.
Judge Holt concurred with those
cases, holding that the statute of hml-
tations began to run after the first
overt act in pursuance of the same
conspiracy. In the Sherman anti
trust law, according to the courts, the
word conspiracy has the same mean
ing as the word contract, and there-
fore Judge Holt applied to conspir-
acy in restraint of trade the same law
of limitation that is applicable to
contract in restraint of trade.
Contract Different
1.-THE department of justice" said the
attorney general, has always enter
tanned the view that congress en-
ployed the different words adVlsedly;
that a contract in restraint of trade is
not the same thing as conspiracy III
restraint of trade.
'Where the law says every person
who engages in a conspiracy to re-
strain trade is guilty of misdemeanor
it means so long as the consplrators
are continuing in a course of conduct
that restraints interstate trade or COM
rnerce they are violating the act.
"Where the restraint may be ter
minated by their voluntary act, the
statute of limitations does not begin
to run in their favor until they per-
form the act which terminates the re-
straint and allows the current OF trade
which they had interrupted to resume
it's course.
"Judge Hollis structures against the
increasing tendency of public prose-
cutors to indict for conspiracy when
crimes have been committed is not un-
derstood as applicable to this prosecu-
ton. in view of the fact that the only
crime of which the defendants in this
case could be, accused was that created
by the antitrust act, namely, of en-
gaging in a conspiracy in restraint of
trade or commerce among the several
states.
The governments appeal will be
under the act of March 2, 1907. This
authorizes such appeal where judgment
has been rendered against the govern
ment on a special plea in bar, as Judge
Hollis decision, according to the attor-
ney general, sis contrary to views ex-
pressed by other judges at circuit, as
we'll as from those entertained by the
department of justice"

MOTHERS IN PANIC At FIRE
STORM GATES OF SCHOOL TO
GET CHILDREN.
Frantic at Being Barred From Their
Little Ones, Who Were in
No Danger.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK. May 25.-One of those
unreasoning panics which seize East Side
mothers now and then happened this
morning in Stanton street.
There was a tenement fire. 1t was next
door to school, With great rapidity the
mothers of most of the $50 pupils got
the news and stormed the gates of the
school yard. The janitor had locked
them.
Outside hundreds of women collected
in struggling crowd and beat upon the
gates crying out for their children and
weeping. The frenzied women, the hum
ming engines, the thick black smoke and
the thousands of spectators combined to
make a striking picture.
The fire broke out in the uper part of
the six-story tenement at 30 Stanton
school No. 81, at Stanton and Forsythe
streets. Miss Mary Maclay is the princi-
pal. Miss Maclay kept cool through the
excitement and calmly surveying the fire
decided that there was no special cause
for alarm. She did not dismiss the chill
dren, who kept to their seats. Had she
let them go out among the frantic moth
ers they would have been in greater dan
ger than from the flames.
The upper stories of the double tenement
blazed fiercely. The tenants fled and
managed to get out without mishaps.
Somebody turned in an alarm and the
firemen were at work and had the fire
out in short time.

PITTSBURG GRAFT SCANDAL.
One Arrest Today and It is Reported
More Will Follow.

PfTTSBURG. May 25.-One arrest was
made here todss<Sin connection with the
recent municipal graft scandal. 1t is
said more will follow during the day.
The grand jury continued the investiga-
ton into alleged corruption of the affairs
in this city today. Practically the entire
membership roll of the old select council
of the city, about thirty-five members,
have been subpoenaed for appearance be-
fore the grand jury today and tomorrow.
Shortly after g. O'Clock this morning an
alderman's constable arrested Thomas
Donovan. one of the detectives employed
by the Voters League, which brought
the graft informations against seven
councilmen and two bankers some time
ago. Donovan, who was charged with
conspiring to falsely indict and suborn a
witness was lodged in the county jail.
The information against him and four
others was made last Saturday in behalf
of Councilman John Klein, who was re-

duty because he regarded it as a good
revenue duty, and also because he believ-
ed that free ore would benefit the steel
trust rather than the consumers of the
country.
Stone Declares Policy.
He held to the general policy, he said,
of a revenue tariff and of no duty on
trust products. He declared against the
rule Of putting raw material on the free
list as a principle
Twenty-Five cents a ton was the low
est duty ever placed on iron ore, said
he, either by emOcrats or republicans,
since the country began. 1t was lower
than the Walker tariff rate.
He voiced the opinion that the newly
discovered iron ore fields in Cuba would
turn out millions of tons of ore in a few
years. which would be shipped to this
country. If there was no duty this would
benefit the steel trust as we'll as the
Pennsylvania and Bethlehem steel COM
panies. which, he said, were doubtless as
sociated with the trust, IL not openly,
then secretly.
Il do not believe we made a mistake"
concluded Mr.. Stone, although l do not
wish to criticise any other democratic
senator who voted for free iron ore / do
not believe that we ignored the obliga
tions imposed upon those who hold COM
missions from democratic constituencies
by the democratic platform"

statement:
No newspaper has a representative

are in all human probability sheer inven-

STONE DIFFERS WITH BRYAN
NOT DEMOCRATIC SENATORS,
BUT CoMMoNER MISTAKEN.
Eighteen Who Voted for Tariff on
Iron Ore Justified by Missouri
Friend of Critic.

William j. Bryan's statement in an
interview given wide publicity that the
eighteen democratic senators made 81
mistake who voted few days ago for
a duty Of 25 cents a ton on iron ore was
an utterance itself declared to be a mis-
take by Senator Stone of Missouri. In
a. speech In the Senate this morning Mr..
Stone said so.
Mr. Stone has long been one of Mr..
Bryan's closest personal and political
friends.
Mr.. Stone first read what Mr. Bryan
was quoted as saying in regard to the
vote on iron ore. Then he said he had
enjoyed rather close relations with Mr..
Bryan for a good many years and could
therefore speak with feelings of respect
and kindness of him.
He criticised republican senator's for
speaking in a disparaging manner of the
Nebraskan and for sometimes 'sneering'
at him.
Refutation Of a Friend.
II don't hesitate to say continued Mr..
Stone. ''that I entertain for Mr.. Bryan
not only high respect, but an affectionate
regard I believe he is one of the most
masterful and commanding personalities
that has ever appeared in the public life
of this country.
There can be no question of the entire
integrity of his opinions, his honesty and
sincerity. But all men are not infallible.
and Mr.. Bryan makes mistakes like the
rest / think he Is mistaken in the state
ment which I have just read-honestly
mistaken.

ten democrats voted against the duty and
to put the ore on the free list
"Up to this time there have been but
two misunderstanding the duty on iron
ore and the duty on lumber-upon which
democrats have divided to any extent in
this chamber"

Gratis who had voted each way. Then he
