STAR WITNESS STATES
 THATROOSEVELT STARTED
 THE SUGAR TRUST PROBE

blem on my coat lapel and said to me:
 Were all Masons. All you've got to do is to name your price and re- port the scales out of order and let this thing drop. I've fixed up govern ment employees before now and there is no necessity for starting anything. "I refused to take a bribe but began taking the scales to pieces Then serted into the scale to keep the weight down. Spitzer renewed his of- fer and said I was damned fool not to take the money-that others had.
 'T began going through the other scale houses. This was an hour after the original discovery in Scale No. l. In all of them I found the hole in the stanchion of the scale but failed to thority te search the company s checkers Who had plenty of time to conceal the springs they had inserted in the holes"
 1Parr then identified the portions of the stanchions he found in Scale No. 1 and the hole through which the spring was inserted Before Parr was called to the stand Thomas D. Hyatt, a United States weigher described in detail by means of an immense chart how a spring could be inserted into the scales used by the government at the Brooklyn docks. This spring when | pressed by a trust employe retarded the action Of the scale so that a short weight would be recorded.
 Following his testimony Judge Mar tin dealt the defense a severe blow by ruling that the government might in troduce in evidence books and tables to show that the admitted differences in weights between the government weights and the merchant weights did not exist after the discovery of the fraud and the banishment of the trust checkers from the government scale houses where they could doctor the scales
 It was then that Deputy Surveyor Parr was called to the stand Ee stated that 1t was in November. 1907. that he and Special Agent Brezinski were assigned as special agents of the Treasury Department to the Williams
 burg docks to look for a leak"
 On November 20 they went to the Havemeyer & Elder docks in Williams burg where they were joined bv Spit
 ger and they talked with him for a time after which Parr went to Dock No. 1. This was the dock on which Kehoe was at work
 Parr testified to having loads of sugar reweighed and of finding dis crepancies in the weight He then told of his ordering Kehoe from the scales and his interview of Spitzer.

(speciaI from united Press. |,

Special from United Press.) New York. Dec. 3.-That President source the alleged frauds committed in the weighing of sugar for the pay ment of duties completely ignored ev- cry official of the United States gov ernment and ordered an independent investigation. was the startling asser- tion made on the stand in the United States Court to-day by Richard Parr, the prosecutions star witness in the trial of the trust officials who are in- dicted for conspiracy to defraud the government.
 Parr, who is now a deputy surveyor of the port of New York, discovered the fraudulent weighing of sugar by the trust in November, 1907. At that
 time he was a special agent in the
 Treasury Department
 "When did you first begin your in- vestigation into these alleged frauds?
 asked Attorney Cochrane for the de- fendnnts-
 "OficIaIly, on November 11th.i 1907, ,' answered Parr. els that the first work
 you did on these cases?" persisted
 Cochrane. "No sir. I had been work

 said Parr.
 Under the direction of your super iors?" asked the attorney. ''If you speak of the President as my super for, yes; if you speak of the Treasury } Department officials as my superiors mo-" was the answer.
 Cochrane did not continue this line
 of questioning but 1t was clear from
 Parr's remarks that he had been inde-
 pendently assigned to the ease by
 Aresident Roosevelt six months before
 the Treasury Department officials be- came cognizant of the facts and order ed him to uncover the frauds. He told a graphic story of the dis covery of the method of defraudins the government by means of the stee

Today Is play day at Lincoln park

ere enjoying an outing. Practically
every mother in the city had planned
the taking of her children to the park
today, but the inclement weather
conditions served to mar in a slight
degree the number who were there
this morning. This afternoon there
were several hundred children on the
grounds.
superintendent Addison Balm has
long planned the day at the park
As the children's days at the parks
last year were successful in every
particular, a day given exclusively to
the children was wanted again this
year. Mr.. Balm has sought diligent-

have been very generous in award
ing prizes for the children winning
honors in the various contests. There
were very many interesting things on
the program today and those who WIS.,
tied the park We're well repaid. The
children, who entered the contests oil
the day, registered with the superin-
tendent and We're promptly on hand
this morning to participate in the
contests.
The trolley swings were well in use

JOE I. SHAW
BADLY INJURED
Automobile Goes into an
Open Ditch.
BRIDGE HAD Been REMOVED
No Warning Lights Left by
Workmen.
Dr. G. s. Burnside Who was With Mr..
Shaw SustaIns u Broken icg.-Phy-
sicians Fear Shaw Has Sustained
Internal Injuries. .,u

Jos T. Shaw OF south High street
this city was perhaps fatally injur-
ed and DR.. c. s. Burnside, of near
Scott Town, was badly hurt in an
automobile accident occurring near
Belle Center, Tuesday night. Mr..
Shaw sustained internal injuries and
his recovery Is considered doubtful.
The accident occurred about 10
o'clock. Mr.. Shaw and DR.. Burnside
had been to the Maxwell factory at
Newcastle where the latter had pur-
chased a new Maxwell runabout.
They were driving 1t through to this
city when the unfortunate incident
occurred. While speeding along be-
tween Bellefontaine and Kenton, the
auto glided down, q steep grade and
fell into an open eight foot ditch
where the bridge had been removed.
The occupants were thrown from the
machine alighting on the stone pike.
DR.. Burnside, who was not so SER
iously injured, hobbled TO a nearby
farm house and secured assistance.
Mr.. Shaw who was in semi-con-
scious condition and suffering ter
ribly, was removed to the house and
DIR. Burnside remained at his side all
night Tuesday and all day Wednes-
day.
Mr.. Shaw has suffered from rheu-
matism for years and his Ill
health coupled with his serious in
juries renders his condition very
critical. DR.. Burnside sustained a
fracture of the right leg and was
badly cut and bruised. Mr. Shaw is
still at the farm house and his con-
dition was not much improved Thurs
day.
Dr. Burnside DECLARES that there
were no lights or any warning signs
whatever to mark an open ditch. He
says the workmen who had remov-
ed the bridge had neglected to light
the red lantern and declares that they
could not see the trap until they were
on its brink. The automobile was
badly crushed and was rendered al
most useless.

CONE MAN ROBBED
Charlie" is Relieved of His
Money in Kenton.

According to the Kenton papers a
young Italian from this city was made
the victim of a hold-up man at that
place early this week. A young for
eigner who came to be known as
Charlie" stated to the officers at
Kenton upon inquiry that he had
come from Marion penniless and that
he had expected TO make living at
Kenton during the fair by selling ice
cream cones. on two days of the
fair the young man gained n good
sum of money and as he was walk
ing near THE Opera house at that
place one evening two men came up
on him and relieved him of his money.
The Italian stated that he had begged
the robbers not to take his money as
he had nothing with which to pay his
board. The incident was not reported
to the police there but the matter
soon came under investigation. Pre-
vlous to his going to Kenton 'the
Italian sold ice cream cones on the
streets in this city.
