Not Guilty to Conspiracy Charges
Made Since Investigation.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. 16.-
The first cabinet meeting since the ad-
iournment of the special session of Con
gress early last summer was held at
the white house today. During the great
err part of the time that the Presidents
official family was gathered about the
executive council table the sugar trust
situation in New York was under dis
cusSiOn.
Attorney General Wickersham and
Secretary of the Treasury MacVeagh,
whose departments are directly interest
ed in the inquiry, gave to the President
and other members of the cabinet a de-
tailed statement of the situation and ex
planned that the rigid investigation into
the frauds had only just begun:
A plea of not guilty to the indictments
charging conspiracy and aiding fraudu-
lent entries of sugar was made today by
James f. Bendernagel, former general
manager and superintendent of the Will
liamsburg plant of the American Sugar
Refining company, and by six minor
employees Of the company jointly indicted
with him.
Attorneys for the indicted men served
notice that they reserved the privilege
of substituting demurrers to the plea
made today and applying for an adjourn
ment or removal of trial on the ground
that the present state of public feeling
rendered it impossible for their clients

Instead of Rudder, Has Brief Mo

NEW YORK, Nov. 16.-The Riggs
Rice dirigible airship, built to try out
the idea of steering by multiple pro
pellers instead of rudder. had brief
moment in the air today at the Morris

in attempting to rise to clear field
obstruction by elevating the two propel-
Iers which work vertically, raised them
too far and one caught in cord at,
tached to the gas bag, breaking a pro,
peller blade.
The airship, otherwise unchanged, was
pulled down by the holding rope. 1t was
hoped to repair the damage in time to
resume experiments before dark.
