informed that If he would protect the
trust he could have 100000 in cash and
the trust would pay his expenses on a
trip around the world. He Indignantly

It must be remembered that at the
time the glistening bride was offered,
Parr was receiving from the government
a salary of only 5000 per year. .-..
Later he was offered a second bride Of
.$25 600 cash If he would give up little
steel spring that Parr had taken from
one of the trusts scales, the function Of
which was to prevent the scales from
weighing the full measure of sugar. He
replied by having the fellow who offered
the bride arrested, but the evidence was
incomplete, and this TRUSTEE tool got
through the laws net.
Later Parr heard of threats against
his life. He laughed at these. The daring
of the trust is shown by the fact that a
burglar was sent to PARIS office in the
customs house and succeeded In making
away with some of the evidence the
young agent had left in his desk.

West Hath street, this city. He declines
to discuss his work further than to say
that he has only done his duty. He works
even now more than II hours a day,

nopoly. The government has rewarded
him by a promotion and has raised his
salary to $500 per year.

and vegetables; hundreds of small feight-
bearing donkeys were observed carrying
loads of charcoal or vegetables or water.
Occasionally a nice carriage with well
dressed people would go by and frequent
ly handsome officers mounted on fine
horses would gallop through the streets;
but altogether the city. seemed dreary
and lacking in thrift and prosperity.
My Spanish guide spoke of the bull ring
as being the most interesting place In
the city, but added that there were no
fights now as Spain was at war with Mo-
rocco; his own brother, he stated, was
at that time In Africa fighting the enemy.
/ Knowing that the bull fight was the ma
tional sport of Spain, made inquiries
and acquired the following information:
The bull fights begin at Easter and
continue to November l. there being 2S4

attendance is very large, even the chill
dren as a reward for good behavior, be-
ing offered the opportunity of witnessing
the cruel sport. The bulls used for the
fights are not over years old. and are
valued at several hundred dollars each;
usually five to eight are slain at a per-
formance. Several horses also generally
perish in a fight. The bull fighter, or
matador is the popular hero, and as a
result Of hts success he often obtains
fame and wealth. However, there is dan
ger to the man, and before the fight he
takes the sacrament, the priest being
present to give extreme JUNCTION in case
fatal wounds should be received.
Probably it is not fair to judge Of
Spain by the unprogressive city Of Linea;
and yet in Spain there appears to be de-
generacy. Once the proudest and most
splendid of nations, Spain held formerly
the same rank that is now held by Eng
land, but today she has lost her exalted
position and is regarded among the
weaker nations. Still, Americans can new
er forget the glorious achievements Of
the Spanish in earlier days; they can
never forget the wonderful explorations
and discoveries in North and South
America, for which always great credit
must be given to Spain.

SUGAR TRUST DIDN'T HAVE
MONEY ENOUGH TO BUY THIS MAN
Especial Correspondence

NEW YORK.-Richard Parr-honest
man.
He is the government agent who has
brought to its knees the sugar trust, the
yeggman of the criminal monopolistic
crew-a trust that has known no limit of
evil in its greedy enterprises.
Richard Parr is today one of the most
interesting characters in this country.
His story is the proud record of man
of great moral and physical courage, and
1t goes to put to shame the adage that
every man has his price," Richard Parr
didn't have price. The glitter of gold
did not tempt him. He, turned his back
on luxury, when to gain it he must be-
tray his trust-a trust imposed upon him
by the people Of the United States
through the government at Washington
Listen to the story of the man who
dared to do his duty-for you and for me
and asks now no praise, no hero wor-
ship, for he says that he did nothing
but his honest duty"
Richard Parr, a native of Albany, n. Y,
was a sampler of sugar on the piers
about New York in 1904 at a salary Of
81, 900 a year. A comfortable salary for
young man, but Parr had to support his
mother and his sister also.
While serving in this capacity he dis
covered that the government was being
cheated by the sugar trust by a system OF
false weights. Parr happened to know
William Loeb, Jr., who at that time was
secretary to President Roosevelt. Parr
went to Washington and told Loeb of his
discovery. Loeb carried the matter to
Roosevelt, and this resulted in PARIS ap-
pointment as special agent of the treas
ury department. Roosevelt sent the
young man out to penetrate the evil CT
the Havemeyer trust. Largely as re-
suit of his work the government now

ment treasury Henry o. Havemeyer
died of fear of prosecution, several sub
ordinate officers are now under indict-
ment, and jail and disgrace cast their
black shadows over half a dozen rich
and affiuent heads of the trust.
1t was Parr who discovered that the
trusts checkers and weighers on the
Brooklyn docks used a false weight sys-
tenn, and by It cheated the government
out of 81 so per ton raw sugar duty, and
some idea Of the ,enormity of the fraud
may be had FROM the fact that during
six years the trust passed more than
rs, 200, 900 pounds Of sugar over the docks
on which not a cent of duty was paid

While in Gibraltar I decided to drive
over to Linea, Spain, only two miles dis
tant My time was limited. but after
coming so close to Spain, thought that
it would be mistake not togo over and
at least walk on Spanish soil.
Although Gibraltar is on the southern
coast of Spain, yet for 200 years through
Britain. The Spaniards refer to Gibraltar
as the southern point of Spain, though
Temporarily in the possession of the Eng

and therefore,, Great Britain does not hes

The city Of Gibraltar is surrounded on
the Spanish side by a tall iron fence; at
the gates are British soldiers inquiring
the business Of all who pass through.
Outside the fence between Gibraltar and

plain, one-half mile wide, belonging to
neither nation.

it to be place with a population Of about
