SUGAR COMPANY NOT
IN COURT CONTEMPT
Corporation Refused to Show
It's Books Before the Grand
Jury.

New York. April 6.--United States
Judge Lacombe today refused to pun
ish the American Sugar Refining COM
pany for contempt of court.
The government had asked that the
corporation be, declared In contempt
for refusing to produce its books be-
fore the grand jury investigating the
sugar underweighing frauds in response
to subpoena directed to the company
and served upon its secretary. Charles
r. Heike.
Heike refused to produce the books
unless sworn before the grand jury.
The government, believing that ground
for claim Of immunity might thus
be established, declined to put him I'M
der oath and the grand jury conse-
quently did not obtain possession Of
the books.
Judge Lacombe said he regarded the
subpoena served on Heike as far too
sweeping to be reasonable. A second
subpoena, however. which was served on
the president and resident agent Of
the company and restricted to specified
books was upheld by the court, which
denied the application of the COM
pany's counsel to set II aside.

INDIAN ROMANCE WINDS
UP IN ALIENATION SUIT

Kansas City, Mo-, April 6.-The ro-
nance of an Oklahoma town that led
to Kansas City is ended. An 18-year
old girl, the daughter of the vice-pres-

allowed to see her. A young Cherokee
Indian, who left his rich father to
prove he could make a living for HIM
self and his bride. has filed suit for
$4,000 against the father and uncles of
the girl for the alienation Of his wife's
affections. He does not ask for a
divorce.
Geraldine McCluskey Is her name.
Her father, C. b. McClusksy, vice-presi-
dent of the National Reserve bank,
formerly was president of the Okla
homa State bank In Muskogee, OKLA
In Muskogee, Miss McCluskey met John
Zufall the son of a blacksmith who
had grown rich. He fell in love with
the girl and she with him. The girls
parents objected to the match. but their
talk did not influence her.
Last September Mr.. McCluskcy sent
his daughter to Belmont college, Nash
Vile, Tenn. hoping that she would for
get her Indian sweetheart. Zufall went
10 Nashville, too, and Thanksgiving
Day they were married secretly. The
bride went with her husband to Mus
kogee.
For one month the Zufalls lived in a
small apartment. Then motor car
came for Mrs. Zufall. The chauffeur
gave her a message that her mother
was i'll in Ardmore. Okla. She was
taken to the depot.
Now the Indian alleges his wife was
taken away from him by the persistent
efforts of her family.

BLO0DH0UNDS AFTER
MURDER0US BURGLAR

Springfield, April G.-With awards
aggregating $4,000 offered for the muir
derer's capture, the trail Of the mys-
terious burglar who killed Miss Martha
B. Blackstone Thursday evening in the
home of Miss Harriet p. Dow, whom he
also wounded tonight, ends at a troll
ley car post on Bliss road, Long Mead
ow, two miles from the scene Of the
murder on Round Hill. Two famous
manhunting bloodhounds today tracked
the murderer's course from the window
by which he entered the Dow home
stead down Main street nearly through
the heart of the city to the trolley post
where the slayer evidently had board
ed an electric car. Attempts to pick
up the trail again at Thompsonville,
Conn.,, and at Warehouse Point, two
places at which 1t was thought the fug-
tive might have alighted, were made
without success. The police express
entire confidence in the work of the
bloodhounds, which showed no hesi-
fancy In following the trail in Spring
field.

HERE IT Is; SCALES WEIGH
BIG FISH THAT GET AWAY

Winsted, Conn.,, April 6.-Tired Of
telling to unappreciative and, in too
many instances, skeptical audiences
his true stories Of the big fish that got
away, Edward j. Weldon, mechanic,
has added to the Joy of living by in
venting a combined fish pole handle
and weighing scale.
With the aid Of this simple but effic-
acious device fishermen who are quick
enough will be able to tell the weight
Of the fish that get away after being
hooked.
They are able to tell the weight now,
but this Is such a suspicious world that
few persons believe them. With the
exact weight registered on the scale 1t
will be impossible to go back of the
records.
Mr.. Weldon has had the felicity Of
seeing his invention meet with the ap-
prevail of Professor Stone, local in
ventor of some note. and he has been
encouraged to have a foot rule inserted
in the handle Of those rods which trout
fisherman use.
Weldon is so much interested in his
great discovery that he is thinking Of
inventing some appliance to be used on
golf sticks which will make II possible
for the solitary but sincere, golfer re-
turning to the club house to be believed
concerning his destruction Of bogy
without being accused of suborning
perjury on the part OF some caddy

New York, N. Y. April g.
Nine. Lima Cavalieri. in a wonderful

having made his farewells earlier. But
lot of other friends saw 1.-The most
beautiful woman In the world Off.
Her light colored frock was cut very
low In the front and very low In the
rear, and 1t brought gasps from fellow
passengers and pier attendants. She
seemed to enjoy the sensation she
caused. She was accompanied by her
sister, Oreste.
"Is it going to be yes or no for "Sher-
;ff Bob? everybody asked her.
WHO knows? / do mott" Nine. Cav.
alieri laughed.
The American sent a wireless mes
sage to her when the Lusitnia was well
out to sea and got this reply:
IT will cable my answer to Monsieur
Chanler on April 10. 1t may be yes or
may be no."
Sheriff Bob" as soon as he heard
the ship had gone, quit work in his
studio all Of sudden, and with his
characteristic briskness Of talk and ac-
ton, announced that he was going to
put his hat on and go up to Pough-
keepsie for while.
Long whtle-to-wait," he said. Got

March.
When old Boreas is blowing DER the mere
With a frosty touch that softly nips your
When your ha. slkips off alone
For to travel on its own.
Like a bird that blithely sails the at
mosphere;
When the air is filled with objects rich
and rare.
Awnings, signs. and parasols off on
When the ust-heaps all arise
And go scooting toward the skies.
Spreading pretty little sun-motes every
where:
When the loyal son of good old sainted
Puts a little sprig of shamrock In his hat.
And his manly chest is seen
Decked in ribbon brightly green.
And the Orangeman finds business rather
fiat;
When the millinery centers all are gay
With the coming styles to bloom on Eas-
And the shops the whole day long
Hold a struggling, striving throng
OF the ladies seeking head-gear distingue;
When the dummies in the windows are ar
In a fashion to make Solomon afraid.
In such gowns beyond compare
AS would make the anctents stare,
dismayed;
When one day is mild Of manners as
And the next is like a copper fastened
ram,
And nobody ever knows
Just what sort of underclo'es
VIII turn out to be a mockery and sham;
When the mercury is nervous as a colt
And your furry overcoat begins to moult-
It's pretty solid bet
At such odds as you can get
That the merry month Of March Is taking
holt!
