HEPBURN GETS
A LITTLE NETTLED

In the tariff debate in the senate Sat
urday Senator Hepburn of Idaho made
speech and spirited appeal to all
republicans to get together, stand low
ally by the party and stop the agita-
ton of the tariff, and when Senator
Cummins sought to interrupt him
Senator Hale, who sat directly behind
the Idaho senator, said, loud enough
to be heard all over the chamber;
Don't wind him up again."
Senator Hepburn overheard the re-
mark and denouncing it as "insolent -
said he did not intend to "allow it,
and added: "I am quite capable of re-
sentlng it in any way on earth" Sen
ator Hale made no reply, except to Join
IN the general laughter.
Finding his opportunity Senator
Cummins said that he had heard Sena-
tor Hepburn make a more severe at
tack upon the republican party than
any he had ever heard from any one
in the senate chamber. He referred TO
the Idaho senator's attacks on the land
and forestry reserves, and the admin
lstration of the latter by Clifford
Pinchot. Senator Hepburn declared
that the land laws were local in their
application.

SUGAR OFFICIAL
rs FOUND GUILTY
OF LARGE FRAUD
Charles R. Meike Convicted by Jury
in New York Court as Indict-
ment Charged.

Charles R. Heike, secretary of the
Sugar Trust, and Ernest w. Gerbracht,
secretary of the Williamsburg Refinery,
were found guilty in the federal court,
of conspiring to defraud the govern
ment out of millions in sugar duties.
The jury disagreed as to James F.
Bendernagle, cashier of the refinery,
on trial with them, and after his Sec
ond inconclusive ordeal, that official,
in all likelihood will go free.
The verdict of the jury, brought
after IL hours elaboration, was not
the same in both cases. Heike was
convicted on the sixth count in the
Indictment, which was a blanket
charge covering general conspiracy to
defraud. Conviction in his case car
ries with it maximum of two years
imprisonment at Atlanta and $4,000
fine, either or both.
Gerbracht was held to be guilty on
all six counts of the indictment, which
included not only general conspiracy,
but score or more of overt acts in
the case of particular cargoes. Con-
viction in the case carries with it
maximum imprisonment of 10 years
or fine of $4,000, or both.

PINCHOT AGAIN
HAS A FEW THINGS
TO SAY ON EVERYTHING

st. Paul, Mimi, June 12.-Gifford
Pinchot; former chief forester, Satur-
day night brandished the 'big stick y
over the special interests, castigated
congress, roasted machine politics, ap-
plauded insurgency and preached a
sermon before the Roosevelt club of
this city.
He began with defiance to those
who sought to belittle conservation, and
ended with a philippe against Gun
clean politics for revenue only.'
because the special interests are
in politics we, as a nation, have lost
faith in congress-" he declared.
"This is a serious statement to
make, but it is true. 1t does not APP
ply, of course, to the men who really
represent their constituents and who
are making so fine a fight for the con-
servation of self government. AS
soon as these men have won their
battle and consolidated their victory,
confidence in congress will return.
"But in the meantime the people of
the United States believe that as a
whole the senate and the house are
no longer representing the voters by
whom they are elected, but the special
interests by whom they are controlled.
They believe so because they have SO
often seen congress reject what the
people desire, and do instead what the
interests demand.'
Continuing, Pinchot nominated Sen.
ator Nelson W. Aldrich, titular head
of the senate, for membership in the
Undesirable citizen club" declaring
that Sat the very time the duties on
manufactured rubber were raised the
leader of the senate, in company with
the Guggenheim syndicate, was organ.

Lincoln, Neb., June 13.-Clyde Heikle,
an Is year old Lincoln bay, made a ter
rifying 5000 foot ballon ascention Sun
day afternoon, cGRging for a part of
the time to the clutch rope of the air
craft. He landed half an hour from

makes parachute jumps at the resort,
had made preparations for his regular
trip and young Heikle, with others, was
holding the rope.

to let go, Heikle, with knife, severed
the two rops holding the parachute, and
as the airbag leaped forward he grasp
ed the clutch rope of the balloon. Wei
berg, with his parachute, was left on
the ground.
For possibly 1000 feet Heikle went
upward like rocket, clinging only with
his hands. Then he managed to swing
himself astride the clutch rope, and
after an ascent Of more than mile,
