PRISONERS FOUR DAYS
IN A REFRIGERATOR CAR

ALBANY, June Hills attention at
tracted by d faint tapping as he was
passing a refrigerator car, Daniel j.
Sheehy. foreman at the New York Cen
trail freight house. opened the door of
the car and released two young men
who said they had been locked in since
Tuesday.
They gave their names as Henry
Connolly and Chester Snyder, and said
they were from Boston. They had been
to Buffalo in search of employment on
the lakes, but were unsuccessful and
were beating their way back.
Worn out by their travels they
crawled into the car and fell asleep
When they awoke they found they
were locked in. The car was switched
to a siding here and the prisoners had
about given up hope of rescue when
Sheehy heard them.
The young men were given food by
workmen, and although weakened by
their long fast they hurried on, fearing
arrest by railroad detectives.

TWO STRANGE DEATHS;
HEARTS on RIGHT SIDE

NEW YORK, June 17.-Staff and
visiting physicians were greatly inter
ested yesterday afternoon in a case of
heart transportation disclosed in an
autopsy at the German hospital,
Brooklyn. The autopsy was made by
DIR. Charles Wuest on the body of Mi
chael Risciccio, 81 years old, of No.
149 Saratoga avenue.
The man was taken i'll in the street;
the case was diagnosed as intestinal
obstruction. He became unconscious
in the hospital and died yesterday
morning. The coroner directed DR..
wuest to investigate. Several doctors
who had heard of the case visited the
operating room. The autopsy showed
the mans heart was on the right side
and his stomach and intestines on the
left. The heavy pressure of the stom-
ach had caused the fatal obstruction.
After being treated many months
for supposed tuberculosis, Edward j.
Booth Of No 1888 East Grand street,
Elizabeth. n J., died yesterday, and
a post-mortem examination showed his
heart was on the right side.

JURY DECLARES PRISONER
NOT GUILTY BUT INSANE
Verdict Puzzles Judge and He Solves
Difficulty by Giving Accused
Man Liberty

SALINAS, Cal, June 17.-Not guilty
because insane, but recommended to
the mercy of the court, was the rather
contradictory verdict today by jury
in the superior court in the case of
Milton Hensley, charged with grand
larceny.
After deliberation over the evidence
the jury reported to the court that 1t
found the prisoner not guilty and spe-
cificallv set forth their reason for the
verdict. The recommendation for
clemency was not explained, however,
and the court is somewhat at loss to
know how to show its acceptance of
the suggestion, as the prisoner was
discharged Immediately

ENGLISH DISASTER TWENTY
LIVES WERE LOST
BY THE COLLAPSE OF A LOCK
WALL.
Men Below Were Buried Under Tons
of Debris.

Newport. Monmouthshire, Eng, July
At is estimated that twenty men
persisted today by the sudden collapse
OF the west wall of the new lock at
the entrance to the Alexandra dock.
The extension of the dock work has
been in progress for some time. Fifty
men were working in a trench sixty
feet deep. preparing for the laying of
a concrete foundation. when the heavy
snoring timbers suddenly gave way in
the middle and the entire structure
collapsed and carried down thousands
of tons of earth. the railroad lines on
both sides of the trench, many cars
and four travelling cranes. The men
at the bottom of the trench had no
chance of escape and many of those
working near the surface were injured
Three men were taken out alive and
the bodies of some of the dead were
rescused later. Late tonight four men,
still living, were pinned in the debris
of the trench. The incoming tide made
the work of rescue difficult.

explaining to everyone who happened
to get within a radius of ten feet of
him. No sooner did he finish taking
a party of excursionists through the
plant than another was gathered and
taken from bottom to top in the
same conscientious way as the pre-
ceding one. No man ever better earn
ed a nights sleep than did Mr.. Davie
yesterday. Not only is he a live
wire, shrewd, and has an eye on
every detail of the monster plant,
but he is liked by everyone of his
employees. Every duty is performed
to win the applause that will surely
come from Mr.. Davie if it should be
earned.
The sugar day excursion was just
as it was planned to be, an excur-
sion of research" and not merely
one of pleasure. Everyone was in
terested, the Wakelin clerks were
here. there and all over, getting
pointers. They wanted to know about
the reason for this process, and for
that one. Not only was this the case
with the Wakelin clerks, but with
everyone All of the excursionists,
worked to get all they possibly could
stored away in the brain cells re-
garding the making of sweetness,
and all were hungry when the lunch
call came from across the street out
of the eating house. Sandwiches,
pickles, doughnuts, everything was
devoured, not eaten, and lemonade
disappeared at a rate that far out
classed the efforts of the hard work
ing makers of the thirst Quencher.
One clerk ate four dOughnuts, five
ham sandwiches and the contents Of
three glasses of 'lemo."
The making of the early crop OF
sugar beets into sugar of the best
quality has been proven brilliant
success this year. OF course financial
ly it was not thought that profits
would come to the factory the first
or perhaps even the second year
But that the farmer can raise
bumper crop of properly developed
sugar bearing beets has been dem
onstrated. The best acre of well de-
veloped beets produced thirty five
tons, but from ten to fifteen tons is
the average. Selling this crop, de-
liyered at $4.75 a ton, it can be seen
that the rancher is well paid for the
production. The sugar has averaged
26O pounds to the ton and has whole
sailed at IS.

Docs the sugar trust control
the beet sugar industry in the
United States?"
1 put this question to the man
whom l considered best able to
answer 1t, Senator Jos. L. Bris-
tow of Kansas. This new Kansas
senator has made q fine record
so far, and has been particularly
active in showing up the rela-
tions of the sugar trust to the tar
iff bill.
II don't think 1t will be seri-
ously denied" said Senator Bris-
tow, that the sugar trust domi-
mates the beet sugar industry OF
the United States. They admit to
a large interest in the industry,
and Henry T. Oxnard himself
the chief lobby representative OF
the beet sugar people-has said
to me that the sugar trust owns
at least 20 per cent Of the beet
sugar properties as an invest

Gingles girl was found bound and
gagged In bath room, and said
that when she saw the young lace
maker she was but partially
clothed and was apparently deMr-
ious.
She said Ella was waving her
hand and crying:
"Oh, Miss Barrette. please
don't kill me. Don't give
me any more of that stuff to
drink. I'll do what you want,
but don't make me drink any
more of that"
The witness testified that the
girl was bleeding from many cuts
on her arms, wrists and legs and
that there were pieces of rope in
the room.
Prosecutor Short said today
that he would introduce expert
witnesses to show that the girl
is suffering from mythomania and
that the startling stories she has
told In court were but phantoms
born of her own brain.
The court room corridors were
crowded to the doors today by {
