PROSECUTING
/. ALLEGED TRUST
IN SAVANNAH
SOME INTERESTING FACTS BEING
BROUGHT OUT IN CASE OF
GOVERNMENT AGAINST AMER
IcAN NAVAL STORES COMPANY

Interesting facts are developing in
the case a the government VS.. the
American Naval Stores Co. being
heard by Judge Sheppard in Savan-
nah, according to the following from
the Savannah News:
Evidence that the grades we're
raised on approximately $4,000 or Co.
600 barrels of Tosin in the Brooklyn
yards of the National Transportation
and Terminal Company in fourteen
months, was offered yesterday in the
trial Of the case against the American
Naval Stores Company and others.
The foreman of the yards and the
men who confessed that they re-
marked the barrels under Instructions
from Manager Percy Ketchum, and
on orders received from the New York
Office of the American Naval Stores
Company, were introduced to prove
that the grades were raised.
1t appeared during the afternoon
session that the American Naval
Stores Company, which has a New
York Office, is New York corpora
ton, and is not the same corporation
as the American Naval Stores Com
pany with headquarters in Savannah.
which was Incorporated under the
laws of West Virginia. This was an
entirely new angle.
Former Foreman Testifies.
The first witness called to prove
the upgrading of resins in the Brook
Ign yards was the foreman, Walter
O'keefe, who resigned last July when
strike was on among the Iaborers
IN the yard. He swore that he was
employed as foreman in the yards by
Mr.. ketchunl, but his EMPLOYMENT
was confirmed, he said, by Mr.. George
Meade Boardman, of New York. treas
urer OF the American Naval Stores
Company. This fact was brought out
TO connect him and his authority with
the defendants, Mr.. Boardman being
under indictment.
. Just before adjournment in the
evening, Capt. r. G. Tunno. Savannah
manager Of the Barnes & Jesup Com
pany, took the stand to identify
grades Of rosin and explain a Quota
ton board for the enlightenment of
the jury
On cross examination Gen. Meldrin
got to delving into some naval stores
history and brought out the fact that
Mt Toomer, of counsel for the govern
ment, succeeded Walter F. Coach
man as president of the Naval Stores
Export Company. 1t was later made
to appear that this company ceased
to do business before the American
Naval Stores Company was organized
two years ago.
MIR. Toomer and Naval Stores.
Capt. Tunno was asked by Cen
Meldrin if it wasn't true that Mr.
Toomer is director of the Barnes &
Jesup company. The witness didn't
know He said he thought that Mr.
Toomer was still president of the
Naval Stores Export Companv
mOribund corporation.
Capt Tunno said he believed the
American Naval Stores Company has
handled SO or so per cent. of the Sa-
vannah receipts Of naval stores since
It's organization little more than two
years ago.

Together the three attorneys con-
sumed an hour.
Judge Sheppard thought the pros
ecution should make a showing as to
whether there was any other way of
! getting at this sort Of evidence,
whether the information sought was
not susceptible of direct proof?
Mr.. Toomer said it was possible TO
| obtain accurate information as to the
Americans purchases in Savannah
and Jacksonville, because both Geor-
gia and Florida have naval stores in
spection laws, These two states, he
asserted, produce about three fifths
Of the entire American crop. He
knew of no way of showing the Amer
leans purchases at Mobile, GulfpOrt,
or in North and South Carolina,
Louisiana and Texas.
Mr.. Barnes information on this
SUBJECT was tested further. AS rec
ords can be obtained for Georgia and
Florida he wasn't asked about them.
He said North Carolina produced
about 25, 900 barrels of spirits annual
~, and South Carolina didn't produce
any more. He couldn't even estimate
the quantity produced in Texas,
louisiana, Alabama or Mississippi.
Cost of Production,
Judge Sheppard oveTruled the OBJ
lection and permitted the witness to
say that about so per cent. of the
entire crop comes from Georgia and
Florida. He was unable to say what
proportion of the crop went to the
American Naval Stores Company. The
witness stated that it costs about 50
cents a gallon to produce turpentine.
Then on cross examination he ad-
mitted that the cost of production
depends upon varying conditions, Ia
Dor, distance of the haul, and other
things which he enumerated.
Mr.. Barnes testified that in July OF
August, 1907, the Barnes Jesup
Company, of which he is president,
opened a Savannah branch office. At
ter that about so per cent. OF the
company's naval stores was shipped
to the Savannah market, he said
This he said increased the supply of
naval stores at Savannah and tended
to lower the market price here.
On cross examination Mr. Barnes
admitted that he shipped his product
to Savannah because the market was
better for him from a business stand
point: the demand for his naval stores
in Savannah was more attractive, and
he diverted his receipts from Jack
sonville to this port to satisfy his
customers" he said.

An Amendment Needed
In the Primary Bill.

The primary election bill introduced
by Representative Farris in the lower
house of the legislature is, taken as a
whole, a good measure-a decided i'm
proVement on the law now in effect
OF course there are points in the bill
which might be criticized, and there
are one or two serious defects, as The
Journal views the questions. princi-
paIIy the inadequacy of the provision
requiring publicity of the expenditures
of candidates
Section 90 of the act reads:
1T shall be the duty Of every can
didate to keep a record of all con-
tributions to him to promote the in
terests of his candidacy, with the
names of the contributors, and he
shall keep a detailed account of all
money expended in tho promotion of
his candidacy and he shall file with
the county executive committee, If he
be candidate fora county office, or
with the primary election commission
if he be. a candidate for a state or
district office, complete statement
thereof, prior to the canvass of the
returns by said county executive COM
mittee or primary election commits
sion, as the case may be, which said
statement shall be authenticated by
the affidavit of the candidate and any
and all other persons by him author
lied to expend money for him."
1t is self evident that although this
section is aimed to satisfy the great
mass of people who believe in pub
Iicity of campaign expenses, yet
it utterly fails to provide for this
publicity before election; nor is pro-
vision made for the publication of the
statements of candidates, even after
election, so that the people may be-
come acquainted with the same. As a
matter of fact, these statements made
after the election will do no manner
OF immediate good whether they are
generally read or not. For the can
didate will then be a qualified heir to
the Office sought and may snap his
fingers in the face of adverse criti-
cisn.
The Journal has for some years
contended that itemized statements Of
expenses should be made periodically
during the campaign by all candidates
for Office, and that the primary law
should provide for the publication of
these statements in such a way that
they will reach the attention of voters
These statements should, in fact, be
sworn to and fled at least every If
teen days and should at once be given
the broadest publicity possible.
such requirement would unques-
tionably tend to purify elections.
Candidates would be cautious in their
use OF money and the fear OF instant

exposure and danger of prosecution
under the rigid provisions of the bill
now before the legislature, would
arouse such terror in the hearts of
political grafters that they would be
slow indeed in attempting to exercise
their usual wiles or make their accus-
toned demands for contributions.
The Journal sincerely hopes that
The legislature viii scan the primary
dill carefully, and not act rashIy. It
-rusts that the amendment suggested
will be incorporated in it. What Flor
'da needs in its state, county and city
elections is genuine publicity pub
ilcity which will reach the people in
time for them to decide whether can
didates are adopting means to secure
their success which are not entirely
open and above board but are of a
character to disquaIify them from
holding Offices of trust. And the
amendment we offer will go a long
way toward insuring that publicity.
toward cleansing campaign methods
and elevating the politics of the state.
