COPPER MAGNATE
SENT TO JAIL
10 Contempt For Not Producing
GOmpany'S Books in Court.
A DIRECTOR ALSO INVOLVED

united the spiriting Away Of Books
Under Subpoena In the Case Against
=. Augustus Heinz.
New York, June 2.-George Baglin.
vice president of the United Copper
company, was taken to the TOmbs
prison. and must remain there, under
an order of Judge Lacombe, of the
United States district court, until the
missing books of the company, which
contain the evidence upon which the
federal district attorney seeks to con
vict F. Augustus Heinz. are produced.
A similar punishment also hangs over
Sanford Robinson, a prominent direc-
tor Of the company
Both men are alleged to have per
mitted the spiriting away of the books
that we're under subpoena. Baglin tes-
titled before the grand jury that he
had overheard Robinson and one Of
the Heinze brothers conspiring to re-
move the books and had interposed no
objection.
Nothing remains for me to do but
TO commit you for contempt" said
Judge Lacombe after hearing Baglins
admission. you had no right to stand
idly by while men were plotting the
removal of books wanted in a grand
Jury investigation. An officer or an
employee cannot so act with i'm
punity."
Baglin was visibly affected by the
sentence of the court. He was allowed
to communicate with his wife and
lawyer and then he was led to the
Tombs
Robinson's case was next taken up
by the court. It was shown that he
had refused to testify before the grand
jury regarding his alleged converse /
tion with one of the Heinze brothers, /
maintaining that both he and Heinze
were attorneys for the company and .
shat therefore their conversation was
privileged.
Judge Lacombe declined to accept
this plea Members of the bar" he
said who choose to become officers (
or directors of companies and who are
accused as directors of conspiring to
violate the law, cannot evade the chal-
lenge by claiming to be members of
the bar. If the minutes of the grand
jury show that the situation is as l
now understand it to be- I shall GER
tainly commit Robinson for contempt"

Sea FIeas.

The deep sea-naturalist, when pre-
pairing the skeletons of small birds
and fishes for mounting, calls the sea
fieas to his aid. These active little
crustaceans swarm on the bottom of
the sea, in both tropical and temperate
waters and are possessed of voracious
appetites. So the naturalist, after re-
moving the skin and loose flesh from
the specimen, ties it in a coarse net
and lowers 1t into the sea until it
hangs just clear of the bottom. 1t is
Immediately discovered by the sea fleas,
and countless myriads of the little
creatures come swarming to the work
of denuding the bones. In a short
time the skeleton is clean and ready
to be packed or mounted. Care must
be taken to haul 1t up at just the right
moment, as If left too long to the sea
fieas they will attack and devour the
small bones as soon as they have fin
ished the soft parts. A little watch
fulness on the part Of the naturalist
will prevent this, however. and the
tiny scavengers Of the deep will save
him lot of unpleasant work.
