SUGAR TRUST TRIAL
BEGINS IN EARNEST

NEW YORK. Nov. 30-The actual
trial of the former employees of the
Sugar trust for conspiring TO defraud
the Government, defrauding the Gov
eminent, and certifying false sugar
weights was begun today when the ten
tative jury selected yesterday was
sworn in and Wnfred T. Denison, as
sistart to Special Prosec Itor Henry L.
Stimson, presented the Governments
side Of the case.
He declared that the Government
planned TO prove that the Havemeyer
and Elder refinery defrauded the Gov
eminent of portion of duties on every
cargo OF sugar it had ever brought into
the port Of New York. The defrauding
had been continued oy the American
Sugar Refining Company, which took
over the old concern until November 90
1907. when the frauds were discovered
and stopped.
Denison then launched into a lengthy
discussion OF the methods of weighing
sugar on the docks for the collection Of
duties. This weig hing, he said. was
done by weighers in the Government
employ.
He declared Splitter was responsible
for the selection Of the men who manip-
ulated the springs and that he received
two sets OF TALES on every cargo.
The true weight was thirteen pounds
per LOO more than the false Thus the
Government was defrauded Of duties on
100. 900 pounds OF sugar on each cargo.
Splitter, be said, sent both the true and
false weights TO Cashier Bendernagle,
and the latter paid the checkers for
their crooked work.
80 great was the influence OF these
men" said DenisOn, both with the
higher officials of the Sugar trust and
with the officials Of the United States
that II a Government weigher who, by
honesty or astuteness discovered the
Of the scales, sought to in
vest EsIe, he was Instantly transferred
from the docks and placed in some po-
siticn where he could not prevent the
mammoth frauds"
Denison then went into each Of the
ten cases. of unloading, on which the
men were Indicted. In some Of these
the Government was defrauded Of az
niuc1 as twenty pounds In every thou
sau9 weighed. he said.
C'is renee I4exow. for Splitter, objected
TO tfe statement that these frauds had
from the very beginning Of
the company. declaring the charge could
only be made on the cargOes specified
in the indictments.

sary to permit customers to visit the
women's department In relays Of about
twenty. the first floor doors were closed
on a line that stretched from Ninth
street and Pennsylvania avenue along
the latter tnoroughfare to Eighth street.
The discontinuance of the sale OF
women's furnishings was decided upon
by MesSrs. Parker and Bridget several
weeks ago. The entire stock. which has
occupied the second floor, will be COM
pletely closed out at greatly reduced
figures. Upon the completion Of the sale
Parker & Bridget will utilize the entire
second floor for the sale Of boys fur
nishings.
After the first crush on the opening
day Of the sale-even the most sanguine
hopes Of the management were vastly
exceeded-the prospective buyers good
naturally allowed themselves to be
grouped in scores and sent I'D in re-
LAYS after their more lucky fellow pur-
chasers had bought and gone away. II

story is satisfactory.
Admiral Melville was the only
one of the American explorers an
swering the United Press messages

Possibly yes and probably no."
This shows that he is less skep-
teal than at the outset, when he
seriously questioned all of DR..

The replies of the Englishment
are non-committal, which, accord.
ing to the American view, is
strictly in keeping with the jealous
spirit manifested by the English
people ever since DR.. Cooks first

The hearty acceptance of DR..

scientists as the best endorsement
possible on account of the Danes

HANDED A
GOLD RRICK?

Members of the city council,
after reading the article in The
Press last night telling of the deal
whereby ]. T. O'Brien resigned
from the board of public works
with the understanding that he is
to be made purchasing agent by
Mayor Pratt, say that OBrien has
been handed a gold brick.
The city charter, it is claimed,
provides that the city council shall
appoint the purchasing agent, and
that heretofore the filling of this
place has gone to the secretary of
the board of public works as a
courtesy and not because of pre-
cedent in the law.
The city council, it is announced,
will appoint the purchasing agent.

BONE very good ideas of why
Spokane's property owners will be
compelled to dig up $4,000 more
a city taxes alone next year than
they have in 1909 can be secured
by a peep into the manner in
which the street department is be-
ing managed. At present, that part
of the department especially which
is entrusted with the work on the
streets seems to be a place ar
ranged for the ease of some of the
minor political supporters and
their friends. In fact the large
sums of money being paid to a por-
ton of this department virtually
represents pension or premium
roll instead of payroll on the
square.

CORONER
MUST NOW
TAKE NOTICE

A way has been found by the
county commissioners by which
they can force the coroner, DR.. H.
L. Schlegel, to permit the commits
sioners to have charge of the
burial of the bodies of the dead
coming under the coroner's official
notice.
A statute has been found that
requires the coroner to hold his in
quest where the body is found, and
that when no relative appears, the
county commissioners shall take
steps to bury the body.
Under this law the coroner is
supposed to report the case imme-
diately to the sheriff, who is to
