Purpose of the Government.

To show criminal knowledge OF the prac-
tice of fraud has been the aim OF the
prosecution. and about this TO gather evi-
dence that this knowledge was part OF a
concerted conspiracy. spitzer's confession
fell fat as 20 the conspiracy. His evidence
regarding the steel springs had been given
in the confession of Frederick Schvert-
feger, a former checker on the docks. The
whole interest in the Heike defence will
centre in the cross-examination. Mr.. Slim
son has taken the testimony Of Benderns gel
and Gerbracht and turned much Of il
against them.
Gerbracht had a strenuous morning yes
terday. His grilling by the special prose
cutor had begun the day before He went
on the stand yesterday with a resigned air.
but throughout the ordeal fought pluckily
to stick TO the story he told when exam
ined by his counsel. It was brought out
early that the reports on the polarization
or quality tests of raw sugar were changed
Mr.. Stimson called 1t "falsifed."
Il think you said that H. o. Havemeyer
directed you to falsify the reports on the
tests of raw sugar. remarked Mr.. Slim
son as a question.
NO: 1 did not never said any such
thing" was the vehement answer
He told you TO make the tests of raw
sugar low" and the question was gently
instnuating.
mo, sir: he told me to keep them low"
LAS a matter OF fact, did not this amount
to direction to affect the price paid TO
the sugar merchant from whom the sugar
was bought"
Gerbracht declared with warmth that il
referred only to the cost of refining sugar.
He denied that he had withdrawn any test
figures or that he had made the tests per-
sonaliy. Then Mr.. stimson asked sud
denly:
Didn't Mr.. Havemeyer tell you to make
the tests lower than their true figure?"
The witness said he did, but when Mr..
Stimson asked him whether he still OBJ
jected to saying that he had been directed
to falsify the figures Gerbracht refused TO
acknowledge that the orders amounted TO
that There was difference between falsi-
flying tests and keeping the tests lower
than their true figure. he said.

Upon Return of Senator Flint, 1t ls
Probable That Another Meeting
viii Be Called.

Chinago, Ill.-Six Republican men,
bers OF the Ballinger investigating
committee condemning the action of
the four Democratic and one Republic
an insurgent members, who delivered
a report demanding the retirement
from office of Secretary Ballinger.
Those present were Senators Mel
son, Sutherland and Root and Con-
gressmen MCall, Olmstead and DENLY.
They declared the action Of what they
term the minority" at Minneapolis
TO have been according to the worst
methods of ward politics"
The evidence in the Ballinger case
was discussed, but in the absence OF
a quorum they stated no action on the
case itself was possible. 1t was said
that Senator Nelson had authority to
vote for Senator Flint, who is a men,
Der of the committee, but who is in
Europe.
AS the minority declined TO at
tend today's conference and took their
adjournment at Minneapolis until the
next meeting of congress, it is prob
able that Senator Nelson will not call
another meeting until the return of
Senator Flint, who, as the seventh
member, would make a quorum.

30 GO DOWN TO DEATH
SO SURVIVE FOUNDE RING OF THE
PERE MARQUETTE VESSEL.
Wireless Brings Aid, But Not Soon
Enough to Save All of the Crew.
Eight Bodies Recovered.

Ludington, Mich.-Thirty lives were
lost when Pere Marquette CT ferry
No. IS, bound from LudingtOn to Mil
waukee, went to the bottom OF Lake
Michigan, half way across the lake.
The dead include Capt. Peter Kitty
of L%udington, s. F. Sezepanek, purser'
and wireless operator, whose signals
of distress brought assistance to the
sinking steamer, and two members OF
the crew of car ferry No. II, who lost
their lives in an effort to rescue the
crew of the No. IS.
The steamship company issued a
list of thirty-fve names OF survivors
of the wreck, all members of the crew.
The sum total of the catastrophe is
told in the loss of tw%enty-nine lives
and a financial loss exceeding half a
million dollars.
The story of the loss of car ferry
Perre Marquette No. 12 constitutes the
most tragic and thrilling chapter yet
written in he hisory of the Lake Mich
igan marine.
Leaving LuQlnStOn unuer d lar Dut
stiff wind, and tw%enty-nine loaded cars
on deck, the ferry made good weather
for five hours on its course to Mil
waukee. At 4:30 o'clock word was
sent to Capt. Peter Kitty that his boat
vas rapidly taking water aft and that
ne pumps were unable to keep within
flow.
With great difficulty nine railroad
cars were dropped Off the stern of No.
IS, but this gave the vessel only tenn
pOrary relief, for the ship was doomed.
Not withstanding this apparent fact,
and in the hope of saving both crew
and craft, the captain crowded his
ship to the utmost limit, hoping to
reach shoal water, but the effort was
futile.

Arkansas Adopts Initiative and Refer.
endum Amendment.

Little Rock, Ark.-Incomplete re-
turns from throughout the state show
the proposed amendment to the con-
stitution, No. 10, providing for the mi
tiative and referendum, has probably
carried.
The indications are that proposed
amendment No. II, providing for the
exemption from taxation of money in
vested in cotton manufacture, has car
ried if amendment No. 10 carried, as
both to be running together.
In the state the whisky vote seems
to have remained about the same as
it stood two years ago with the ex-
ception of ST. Francis county, which
has gone dry. Pulaski county, in
which Little Rock is located, is also
threatened. With returns in from
about one-third of the city and coun-
ty, the vote stands ST. for license and
719 against.
