ISSUE TO
SUGAR TRUST MEN
(By Clyde II. Tavenner.)

Washington, Oct. 13.-Now comes
the remarkable announcement that the
| president has pardoned Edward A
| Doyle, John r. Coyle, Patrick J. Hen
nessey and Thomas Kehoe, four form
el government employees who were
serving sentences in New York for
connection with tae S2,0N0000 sugar
trust frauds.
This &C ion has raised in the minds
of many the following query: Did the
fact that these men hoped for early
pardons deter them from fully expos
ing the men higher up?
By placing steel springs in seven
teen pairs of scales, the trust robbed
the government of more than $4,000
600, and after being exposed admitted
the crime by returning the plunder.
The secretary and few minor EN-
ployes were sent to prison, and four
of them have now been pardoned.
The multi-millionaire sugar barons in
to whose pockets the 100000 would
have gone had not the cheat been dis
covered, have so far gone scot free.
Democrats and progressive repuD-
licans sought in the last congress to
bring about a congressional investlga-
lion of this fraud, believing it ridicu-
lous for the administration to assume
that a few SIS week sugar weighers
would steal $2,OO0O00 for someone else
and lay themselves liable to penllen-
tiary sentences, unless they had been
bribed by the men or agents Of the
men who would secure the proceeds OF
the fraud.
President Taft himself prevented
the congressional investigation by rec
ommending it in his annual message
to congress. He took the view a probe
might give immunity" to the men
higher up"
Rep. Henry T. Kainey of Illinois
led the fight for the probe of the
swindle, contending that instead of as
suring immunity" for the big thieves,
an investigation would only bring out
their identity.
1t developed that the president rec
against investigation upon
the advice of United States Attorney
General George c. Wickersham. Mr.. |
was particularly qualified |
10 give the president advice in mat
.ers pertaining to the sugar trust. At |
he time of his appointment TO the Of
ice of attorney general-a position
which places him in absolute charge OF
he prosecutions of trusts-he was a
sugar trust attorney
Mr. Wickersham and Henry w. Taft,
,rother of President Taft, were mem
,ers of the firm of Strang & Cadwal-
ader of New York For services rem
lered the sugar trust Attorney Henry
". Taft received $26,750. which he
urned over to Strong & Cadwallader,
nd the last thing Mr.. Wickersham did
,efore starting in to represent the
,eople was to draw down and pocket
lis share of the sugar trust fee.
Nine resolutions providing for an
Investigation of the sugar trust were
Introduced in the last session of con-

FAMOUS SINGERS
LOSE VOICES

Paris, January 1.--(Special)-It would
be useless to name the number of prima
donnas and famous singers We hear of
who have experienced extravagant pros
perity only to be followed by poverty
due to having lost their voices.
This fact gives unusual interest to an
extraordinary discovery recently dem
onstrated by Dr. Morage, a French scien-
fist, before the Academy of Science,
showing that dead dogs can be made to
bark and howl as when they We're alive.
The learned doctor has made a spe-
cial study of voice physiology, and is
known for his curious researches. Among
other things he had succeeded in photo
graphing the vibrations of the voice.
He has also demonstrated by various
experiments scientific truth generally
admitted that the voice sounds are pro-
duced exclusively by the larynx and that
the cavity of the mouth is only an ac-
cessory, which reinforces the sound.
Whilst studying this very point he hit
on the curious fact that dead animals,
by means of electric action on the larynx
can be made to emit the same sounds
feebl electric current to certain muscles
of the throat of the dead dog which i'm
mediately caused 1t TO bark.
The sound was produced evidently by
the series of simple contractions of the
larynx causing q vibration.
Various kinds of bowls and barks can
be produced at will by changing the cleo
trio current.
These experiments served to demon
strate that what is called by singers
the sudden loss Of ones voice is not
due to the vocal chords of the larynx
itself but the paralysis and inertia of the
muscles which cause the vibrations.

PURSUIT OF THE CARIBOU.
May Be Called by Experts Same as
Moose-Coior of Antlers.

From Fry's Magazine.
In caribou hunting as rule the open
countries are travelled on fne warm days
and tho green woods during the stormy
spells. It is the unanimous opinion Of
those who have followed the sport for
many years that a lengthy trip should
be planned to insure satisfaction.
In the country at the headwaters ~
the Tobique and Nepisiguit rivers, New
Brunswick. several weeks or a month
are desirable If you want u record head.
Should, however, one be hampered for
a time, steady hunt regardless Of
hardest kind of work, but is not salts
factory. Many time have hunters
stalked herd in the greenwoods. Fin
ally they picked out the apparently best
head and brought 1t down.
As the report echoed throughout the
wood the balance of the herd scattered
only to reveal as they passed an opening
that more than one larger head could
have been procured. This after hours of
wet drenching work rather rankles the
most sublime temper. For this reason.
If for no other reason, is the late fall
fall preferred by experienced men to any
other time 1t may take longer, but
there on the hillsides in the clearings Is
the game in full view, and though re-
quiring hours to stalk, few mistakes are
apt to be consciously made.
Each year adds some knowledge to the
pursuit Of caribou. They are generally
found in herds of from three to 20, and
some experts can tell them the same as
moose. This, however. is for short dis
tances, such as hundred yards or So
the call is very high and hard to imi-
tate-when they will leave the herd I'M
der their charge to investigate.
The color of the antler is governed
more or less by the nature of bush on
which they clean them of the velvet
The big bulls do not lose one antler as
early as the larger specimens of the
Newfoundland caribou, though many will
drop one antler about the first Of No
vember.
Like all creatures bearing antlers their
growth of such blood vessels is regulated
by the temperature of the winter and
the fall of snowfall of which affects the
food supply. If the winter is open the
summer warm, you may look for record
heads. They differ from the Newround-
land caribou In that the big bulls here
always keep the lead and do not follow
in the rear.

he had seen a piece of made ice'' a
foot thick. His church stood for purity
and was strong on discipline. He was
promptly dismissed from the pastorate
for lying. Shortly after member .oc
the discipline committee visited the~tcity
and saw the same miracle. On returning
he preached the matter cautiously By
saying. that they might have been too
hasty in turning out their preacher
Forthwith action was brought against
him and he escaped by paying the fare

testimony OF five men that mountain

his balance, plunged headlong down
the elevator shaft improyisad for
carrying material to the top Of the

against the cross-piece Of the scat

carried to a nearby house anr physic-
fans responded quickly and did all In
their power, but their efforts did not
avail, for concusslon OF brain, induced
from the many blows upon his head in
falling, did It's work and in three
quarters Of an hour he expired.
The death Is viewed In the city as
possibly the saddest in years. Mr.

Last Wednesday Henry Virgins
and his brother. Oscar Virgins, two
white men who live near Pelletier,
Careteret county, were arrested by
United States Deputy Collector J. E.
Cameron, for operating an Illicit still.
The neu were brought to this city
and arraigned before United States
Commissioner c. B. Hill on the chage
Of Illicit distilling. but waived ex-
animation and gave bond for Their ap-
pearance at the next term OF the fed
erarl court held In this city.
From what could be learned In re-
gard % the affair II seems that r Mr..
Samuel Lilly. who lives near PeIle-
der. was instrumental in bringing
about the arrest OF the Virgins broth
ers and he came to New Bern In COM
pany with the deputy and his prison
ers. and they remained In the city
that ngiht.
Samuel Lilly, returning home from
New Bern, found his house had been
burned down. His suspicion was that
owing to his action In the illicit cap
ture. an incendiary had set fire TO his
house, and he at once made effort to
secure the arrest OF certain particles
living near PelletIer. As yet no ar
rests have been made so far as heard
from.-New Zern Journal.
