SUGAR TRUST
GRILLED BY CLAY
Charges 1t with Violation of Law
and Robbery of the People

WASHINGTON. May 19.-The
most scathing arraignment that the
sugar trust has ever been subjected
to on the floor of congress was de-
liVered in the senate today by SEN
ator Clay, of Georgia, during the de-
bate on the sugar schedule of the
pending tariff bill.
The sugar trust" he declared,
has constantly violated both the civ
II and criminal laws of our country.
1t is unconstitutional and has contin-
ually robbed the American people
since its organization. Instead of
knocking at the door of congress
seeking to increase its fortunes at
the expense of the masses of the peo-
pie, its officers ought to be at the bar
OF the criminal court, and instead of
enjoying their ill-gotten wealth they
ought to be serving long terms in our
Federal prisons.
Every day in the year since it
was organized, the sugar trust has
violated the criminal laws passed by
congress to protect the American
people against these unlawful and

SENIOR CLASS
GIVES THEATRICAL
Produces ''SWeet Girl GPadu,
ate" Before Appreciative
Audience.

The high school senior class play,
1.-THE Sweet Girl Graduate, was Civ
en- last evening at the Blackwell pa
vilion. The members of the class
had labored hard to perfect their diff
ferent parts, and those who attended
the performance last evening express
ed appreciation of their efforts in
the highest terms or praise. The
event had been eagerly looked for
WARD to, not only by the members of
the class, and their relatives, but the
students of the high school, and the
citizens of hte city in general, and the
pavilion last evening was crowded.
Miss Corinne Robertson represent
ed Maud DeSmythe, the girl grad
uate, in an excellent manner, and her
mother, Mrs. DeSmythe, was also ex-
cellently represented by Miss Kath-
crime Dunleyy. The father of Miss
DeSmythe was represented in a clever
manner by Earl Shoup, and Frank
McGovern played well the part of her
lover Mr.. Jack Hamilton. Miss Lou
Kilgore's part in the play was the
sweet girls aunt and a maiden lady,
and Miss Brigitte Paulus, her dear
est friend, and both were made the
recipients of many compliments OF
their friends for the effective manner
In which they represented these two
characters. Miss Myrtle Seymour APP
peared in the play as Madam Sateene,
a dress maker, and Miss Viva Bald
win as Madam Rantum, an elocution
teacher, and performed both parts in
a splendid manner. Professor Grin
dem, principal of the high school, was
represented by Dwight Leeper, Mr.
Chinese Bulbus, the florist, by Ed
Budlong Katherine, the maid, by
Miss Helen Noble, and each acted
their part in an effective and clever
way to the satisfaction of the audi
ence. The music by Fahringer's or
chestra was of a high character and
very pleasing.
