Action Against American Sugar
Refining Company Brought
to Close Out of Court

NEW YORK. June S.-The $50 1000
suit of the Pennsylvania sugar refining
compan yagainst the American sugar
refining company. the so called trust,
was settled out OF court this evening.

public. Possibly a statement will be
forthcoming tomorrow.
CLAIM OF PLAINTIFF
The plaintiff charged. in effect that
it had been driven out of business.
witnesses testified that Adolph Segel
of Philadelphia, controlling power of
the Pennsylvania sugar refining com
pany borrowed from Gustav A. Kissel
s1,25o,O00, for which he gave as secur-
ity $4,000 shares of the Pennsylvania
sugar refining company, together with
a voting trust certificate for the same,
which was to run until the repayment
of the loan.
With the power thus conferred Kis-
sci, it was alleged, installed himself
and three of his clerks as directors of
the Independent sugar company. and
having control of the directors he Sc
cured the adoption of a resolution pro-
viding that the then almost completed
refinery, which is said to be one of the
most economical ever built, should not
be opened or operated until further
orders. That resolution, the plaintiff
contended, was drafted by John E. Par
sons, acting as counsel for the sugar
trust, for whom it showed Gustav A.
Kissel. the lender, also as agent

TAX ON DIVIDENDS
OF CORPORATIONS
AIdrich to Introduce Paragraph
in Tariff Bill Imposing Two
Per Cent Assessment
Especial Dispatch 10 The Call

Especial Dispatch 10 The Call
NE WYORK, June s.--A special dis
patch to the Herald from Washington
says: Senator Aldrich will at the proper
time introduce as a part of the tariff
bill paragraph imposing as a revenue
feature a small tax on the dividends
of neutrality-suspicious. per cent.
This will probably become part of
the law, as it has the support of
President Taft. The income scheme is
dead. The only senators who do not
know it are the insurgents"
1t has been estimated that a tax on
dividends at 2 per cent would raise
between $4,000 900 and $40, 600, 900 a
year.
Senator Aldrich has an assurance that
President Taft will sign such a tariff
bill with the dividend tax feature in
cluded, although the income tax is
omitted.

Two Elements for Heney

Mc1furray is for Heney-if-he can
not nominate some one else. and there
lies the difficulty Of the situation. There
are two elements in the conference
which are for Heney, If for different
reasons. One of these elements wants
Heney nominated because they think
he IS the only one to carry on the graft
prosecution. The other is not so deeply
concerned in the graft prosecution, but
thinks that the nomination Of Heney
viii carry the republican ticket through
and that failure o nominate him will
spell republican disaster
They believe that Heney is going to
be a candidate and that he is going
to be elected and they argue as they
did in the case of Langdon two years
ago that il would be good politics to
take advantage Of the inevitable and
political suicide to do otherwise.

Rich Man Who Made Fortune
but Lost Delight in Life
Tells Pitifnl Tale
Stomach Man" Cooper Wins
Convert in Oakland
Woman

L. T. Cooper, the stomach man." as
he is called in the east, told an inter-
esting story when interviewed yester-
day. He said:
"A man came to see nae the other day
who had a tale that touched my heart
This man was a millionaire, self
made one. For more than 40 years this
man had toiled and struggled and
pinched and saved to amass his mil
lions. He drove up TO the Owl drug
store in the Phelan building, where 1
am making my headquarters in this
city, in an automobile. He told me that
he was the victim of wornout stomach.
He said that he had spent thousands
of dollars with specialists in America
and Europe, but that in spite of all his
stomach grew less and less active and
that, in short, he was literally starv
ing to death His stomach was fast
becoming so that ii would not retain
single particle of food. He had read
of my work in the east, and when he
learned that l was here he decided to
call on me.
''Whak did I do for him? 1 gave him
the same medicine that I give to the
humblest working man that calls on
me- For the millionaire's stomach is
the same as the stomach of any other
MORTAL truth that this man was just
beginning to find out after years Of
luxurious living. He had made his mill
lions, but he had lost the power to
enjoy life. He had abused his body,
broken all the laws of nature until
now it would stand no more
One of Cooper's callers yesterday
was Mrs. J. F. Murray OF 479 ClaFemont
avenue, Oakland. She said:
81 had been sick for two years with
catarrh of the stomach. I could not
eat solid food. l could not sleep, and
1 did not know what health was. Then
a friend told me- about these Cooper
remedies. L laughed at her, but she
insisted that L at least try them. 1
had been trying everything I had ever
heard of without result, and 1 was as
slSeptical as could be when 1 went to
see Cooper. / took his New Discovery
preparation and now 1 am a well
woman. 1 unhesitatingly say that 1
give all credit to his wonderful medl-
cines.'
In short interview Cooper said:
Mrs. Murrays experience is that of
thousands who have called on me since
1 have been in San Francisco Ny
medicine will do nothing but tone up
the stomach. But put the stomach in
shape, give it chance to do the work
demanded of it, strengthen it, make it
healthy and keep it healthy, and 1 will
warrant that So sick men out of a
hundred will be made into well men. 1
know this because 1 have introduced
my medicine in every big city in Amer
lea, and everywhere L have been / have
had more perseps come to thank me
before / left them than have had time

Large House Built From One
Tree

A 14-rOom house was recently
built at Elma, Washington, from
the lumber of a single yellow fir.
There was nearly 5000 feet of
lumber in the logs of the tree, and
the stump inside the bark measured
9 feet. The total height of the
tree was 800 feet; its lumber was
worth 81 900, and the trunk was
straight and without limb for 100
feet.
Statistics show that there is
enough timber standing in the State
of Washington to build 5000, 900
six room houses, sufficient to shell
ter one third of the population Of
the United States. The timber
would furnish ties for 1898, 939
miles of railway track, or suffice to
construct a plank road 3 inches
thick and 500 feet wide, that would
extend around the world twice.

Ellensburg Has Reached
Another Era

We have reached a point in the
history of Ellensburg when it is
absolutely necessary, for the good

of, that foolishness, pickering and
backbiting cease, There is too
much at state now for the taxpay-
ers to act otherwise than honest

tween factions must cease and all
get together in a common cause for
the common good of all.
The municipal election is not far
off. A mayor and several coucils

backbone to fill any position in the
city and that is the kind of men
that is wanted we nave nad

prejudice and personal animosities
should be cast aside and in Novem-
Der we should select set OF city
officials for their business qualifi-
cations, honor, integrity and moral
stamina, men who can be depend
ed on to do the right thing by all
concerned, men who are broad
minded and will not stoop to petty
things. Have we men of that kind
in the city? Sure, but they are
not to be found running around

True Democracy

Eighteen years ago, in address
ing the Young Mems Democratic
ASSOCIATION in this city, Grover
cleveland undertook to define
democracy as he understood and
practlced it. Now that he has
gone to his reward and his great
qualities have been recognized
even by the opponents who de-
nounced him when alive, it is worth
while to recall to young democrats
what he then said. We know of
no better or briefer definition of
the true democratic doctrine:
Its principles are not uncertain
nor doubtful. They comprise
equal and exact justice to all men;
peace, commerce and hence friend
ship with all nations -entangling
alliances with none; the support of
state governments in all their
rights; the preservation of the gen
eral government in it's whole CON
stltutional vigor; jealous care of
the right of election by the people;
absolute acquiescence in the deci-
sions of the majority; the suprema-
cy of the civil over the military
authority; economy in the public
expenses; the honest payment of
our debts and sacred preservation
of the public word; the encourage
ment of agriculture and commerce
as its handmade, and freedom of
religion. freedom of the press and
freedom of the person. Phila-

GO AFTER THE
RIGHT SYSTEM
OUR CITY MUST HAVE WATER
The Best is None Too Good
For EIIensburs-The Capacity
of the Plant Should be Suffi-
Gent for a City $4,000

Now that the question of secur-
ing more and better water is be-
fore the people, let the matter be
thoroughly discussed, and while
we need water and need it badly,
let us think of this matter soberly
and make haste slowly, lest we are
made to repent of the matter at
our leisure.
We may be in error, but it is our
private opinion publicity expressed
that the city of Ellensburg ought
to build, own and operate its water
system.
The system, whoever may build
it, should be made of sufficient
capacity to meet the requirements
of city of at least rs, 900 for we
feel sure that in ten years or less
time the population of Ellensburg
will have reached that number and
possibly more.
Five years ago the population
was recorded at 1,75O while today
a strict census would possibly show
5000 and our growing is estimated
at 100 to 200 per month. This
can easily be verified by the local
postoffice and bank records.
So, while we are going after a
water system, let's keep cool and
60 after it right. This is no time
to get excited and go wild. True,
all of the thousands of people are
subject to flame and total loss with
out water to resist the enCroChing
and devouring tongues, still a sim
gle mistake made because of
hurry up affair, might be the means
and cause of still more disaster
ons fire later on.
Think the matter over seriouslyl
Give it your best thought with
out malice OF prejudice!
Cool and calm and dispassionate
deliberation should be given the
matter by every taxpayer!
Stop cussing everybody and get
down to discussing the water prob
lem from the standpoint that means
all to all
Right now is the time to do these
things, not tomorrow, next week
or next month, but today!
Today is the day of oui saliva
ton!
Today is the day of all days for
the people of Ellensburg and let us
think Alright, and do Alright
Act while it is yours to act!

He also gave them the Aldrich curren-

thing they have to sell. What next
will they get when this old friend,
Roosevelt gets back again? Taft, Can
non and Aldrich will fix the the per-

fall, and Taft will appoint a tariff COM
mission to suit the interests and wind
up his term by making that commits
sion permanent. Then God help the

Day Of Sham Battle Over

The time is passed for sham bat
ties on the tariff question. The
only victory we have won on the
tariff in recent years was the vic
tory of 1892, when we attacked the
Principle of Protection. No real
night can be made until distinct
line is drawn between the opposing
forces.
The progressive republicans can
not make a successful fight against
the Aldrlch element because both
factions in the republican party
claim to be protectionists. 1t is
only a question of degree with no
way of defining the issue. SO with
those democrats who shy at a
tariff for revenue only they can
not state their position without
borrowing republican phraseology
Whenever a democrat begins to de-
fend protection he throws away his
arms and joins the ranks of the
non-combatants.
Taxation should be for revenue
only. Taxation of the many for
the benefit of the few is robbery
under the form of the law, whether
it is invoked to aid the manufaC
turers of the east or the producers
of raw material in the west and
south.
Aside from the objections made
to the principle of protection 1t
must be remembered that compare
lively few can be benefited by
protective tariff. A protective tariff
that would distribute its benefits
among all would be OF no beneht
TO auv one. To benefit those for
whom it is made, a protective tariff
must hurt the rest of the people.
The democratic party must take
he mart OF the WHOLE PEOPLE ana
challenge the republicans stand
matters and progresslves alike-to
defend the protective principle
Tariff reform by the friends OF
protection has turned out to be
fraud-tariff reform by protection
;st democrats would be just as dis
amounting. Tariff reform by the
friends of the tariff is lmposslole'
tariff reform by the enemies OF hl8h
tar;ff is not only reasonable Out
necessary. -,

,ar pavers and the tax eaters
