kind of cooperative joint enjoyment
of everything which is the ideal of So
cialism.
1.-The institution of private property
in my Judgment has done more to bring
about the modern progress and civil :
Zation thar any of our institutions, ex-
cept that of personal liberty. The de-
velopment Cf modern industrialism, the
concentration of capital and it's abuses,
the tendency toward monopoly and the
suppression of competition may all
Justify a regulation and a greater re-
StrictiOn upon the use of private prop
crty than has been necessary hereto
ft re; and it is in that direction that
the needed reforms in my judgment
lie.
when, however, the right of private
property is taken away, when the mo-
tive of enlightened selfishness disap-
pears in modern society and there is
an attempt to substitute therefor the
motive of disinterested unselfishness on
the part of every member of society
toward every other, as q practical
force in the progress of civilization, it
will be failure, and the result will be
a substitution Of a tyranny of govern
ing committees in the distribution of
theoretical rewards instead of a self
acting system in which the industrious
and the prudent and the far-sighted
are rewarded and the lazy and the un-
attentive fall behind

The salient features of the railroad
bill as it passed the Senate may be
described as follows:
The bill provides for the creation of
new court of commerce" for the
consideration exclusively of appeals
from orders of the Interstate Commerce
commission. The court is to consist of
five Judges, to sit in Washington, their
powers are to be Coordinate with the
Judges OF the federal circuit court to

and are to be appointed in the first in

by appointment by the chief Justice OF

UPON THE DEAD
Heike On Stand Seeks to
Shift the Blame
Says Late Chief Was in Con-
troll Of the Refinery.
Declares He Acted at the Direction
OF Mr.. Havemeyer.

New York, June 3.-Testimony which
led direct to the grave of Henry o.
HaVemeyer, late head of the American
Sugar Refining Co, was given on the
witness stand today by Charles X.
Heike, secretary of the company, who
is charged with conspiring to defraud
the government on lnder- weights Of
sugar. Heikes defence opened today
and his counsel. tried to Shift all re-
sponsibility for the conduct of the COM
pany'S affairs upon it's late president.
Hitherto, in the defence of Ernest w.
Gerbracht, superintendent of the COM
pany's Williamsburg (Brooklyn) re-
finery, and James F. Rendernagel, for
mer cashier, who are also on trial, only
hints were made in Havemeyers die
rection. But Heike's story put the di-
rect responsibility upon his dead chief.
George S. Graham. who made the
opening address for Heike, said he re-
gretted bringing discredit upon a man
now dead, but circumstances OF the
ease demanded it. Heike, he said, was
at q period in life when 4 prison SEN
tence, even if short, would mean a life
term.
On taking the stand, IeiEe immedi-
atelv rat responsibility for practically
all his acts upon Havemeyer, saving
the latter was in direct control of the
Williamsburg refinery. Time and again
in explaining his business dealings he
declared he acted lat the direction or
Mr.. Havemeyer." 1t was also brought
out through Il letter written by Have
meyer to Gerbricht that Heike called
Havemeyeis attention to the "liabil-
ity' of the government sugar Weighers.
He denied any knowledge of the trick
scales on the docks and said he did
not even know the company had scales
there but thought they belonged to
the government.
One by one. the witness took up his
letters previously offered in evidence
by the government and explained their
meaning, always as having no relation
to the frauds.
Only brief time was allowed today
for cross examination but Heike was
not shaken by the gruelling by Henry
l.. Stimson, the federal prosecutor. He
will be recalled on Monday for fur
ther examination.
From present indications the sum-
ming up will begin Tuesday or Wednes-
day of next week.

IN THICK OF FRAY.
La Toilette Gets In Trouble All Arounc
In the Senate.

| Washington, June Ex-senator La
Toilette was III the thick of the fray
| IN the Senate today. He first got INTO
| hot water unintcntionally with the
Vice President and afterwards was
! taken to task my other senators with
| regard to his practice of detailing the
| records of his colleagues on public
| questions before his lecture audiences
The Senate session had been dragging
along for two or three hours discuss
ing the railroad bill in the committee
OF the Whcle when apparently debate
was exhausted and there We're 10
more amendments to be presented. AS
with original measure the Vice Presi-
dent announced the transfer Of the bill
from the committee whole to the SEN
ate proper.
Are there other amendments to be
offered in committee of the whol"?''
he asked, No one responded.
If not" ne added. tine bill will he
reported to the Senate" Still there
WAS no response and after moment
AIRY pause he said
The bill is in the Senate"
f}y this time Senators Bacon and La
Toilette had become aware Of the sit
uation. both having Deen temporarily
engaged in other duties. Both had
amendments which they still desired to
| ctfer in committee. Bacon was soon
molitied with the assurance that his
amendments could be presented in the
Senate as such. but La Toilette did not
get so far.
Stating that his attention had beer
distracted, he was proceeding to say
that he had not had Proper opportuni-
ty to present his amendments" Tie
was not permitted to proceed further
when the Vice President interrupted
him with a sharp rap of the gavel.
The Chair" said the Vice Presi
dent, deprived no senator Of any OPP
portunity that belongs to him and the
Chair resents such insinuations."
Evidently taken by surprise La Fol
lette responded that the Chair had GER
tainly misunderstood the spirit of his
remark, which had not intended in any
sense as a structure on the course ol
the Chair
BY unanimous consent the bill was
restored to the committee of the whole
and the Wisconsin senator presented
his amendments One Of his amend
mentS would prohibit the appointment
or designation as a judge of the coul1
of commerce of any person who hold:
stocks or bonds or is otherwise inter-
ested in any common carrier subject tc
the proposed court.
This provision had scarcely been
read when Hepburn took the floor. He
denounced the suggestion in the
amendment as infamous" and said
that in his public lectures the Wiscon-
sin senator called attention to the
votes of his colleagues on a simila,
measure presented at previous ses-
sion, apparently with the purpose OF
charging that the senators who had
voted against il were favorabl, to the
appointment OF Judges who might r.,
their own railroads. The idaho sen
ator complained Of such ccrrse ane
