FRAUDS AGAINST GOVERNMENT
 GOING ON FIFTEEN YEARS
Developments in Sugar Cases at New
 Orleans and San Francisco.

Washington. Dec. 3o.--''When the grand jury now Investigating the sam bling Of sugar at New Orleans finishes it's work. it will be found that the frauds against the government there have been going on for at least fif- teen years.
 This statement was made today by an official of the customs service, who declared that all the suspected frauds would be found in the sampling of su- gar and in the polariscopic tests which determine the sacchaTine contents up- on which the Importer pays duty.
 An fnVestiga ton of alleged draw back frauds al San Francisco is also imminent. In fact, it is known that a preliminary investigation has fur nished evidence which leads treasury officials to believe the frauds at San Francisco will eclipse those at New Y ork. which the American Sugar Re- lining company recently offered to set tie for $700.006.
 Evidence collected by the customs service is said to show that the gOV- ernment has for years been paying dra WDacl5s on Philippine sugar which came into the United States duty free was used in the preservation of Cali fOrnia fruit and later exported as su- gar imported from Java on which duty had been paid.

FOREST FIRES, THEIR CAUSE

Discussed i1 Annual Report of Chief
 Forester Graves.

Washington, Dec. So.--F'orest fires. thsir destruCtivene cause and pre- vention, are discussed st length in the annual report Of Henry s. Graves, chief forester, made public today. He rsws that in the organization and ad- rlinistration of the national forests the most important considera ton is their protection from fire. "In forest fully organized, with adequate means of transportation and communication. and z sufficient force of rangers and guards, tho risk from fire is very smalL" he says. "In foreign coun- srles, 9n which forests are so organ szed. the risk is so small that the for -sts ara fnsurable at q moderate rate"
 After citing the various causes of forest fires. Mir. Graves says that S4 per cent. of fires during the calendar year of 1909 were duo to the lack of preventive cHre on the part of the us- CTS of the forests and of the railroads iraverinx them" He says that the railroads. realizing the forest fires are against their own interests, have shown an admirable spirit in oper- sting to prevent them He suggests
 hat tho railroads be required either 70 use efficient spark arresters, or to burn oil.

 The Action of Hyoscin.
 Hyoscin is described in the text books as an alkaloid of henbane and in it's action a cerebral and spinal seda- tive. Cases are recorded in which dose of one-twenty- fifth of a grain ap- piled to the membranes of the eve has produced severe general toxic symp- toms. Tn large doses it is a dangerous depressive of the respiration.

 Question of Robins Sanity Still Open.
 Robins frustrated attempt today leaves the question of his sanity still open Dr. William Mabon for the state and Dr. Austin Flint for his council examined him last night and found him physically able to appear in court today, but they did not pass on his mental state. Just how his act today will bear on that decision when it comes does not appear. In the affi- davit submitted by his sister when she applied for his commitment to an asy- lum she swore that he had attempted suicide last Saturday and gave that as one of the evidences of his alleged insanity.
 Accountants at Work on Banks Books.
 There were no further developments today in connection with either the Northern Bank Of New York or the Washington Savings bank, both of which are in the hands of the state banking department, but the state de- pertinent of insurance took over the affairs of the Title and Guarantee company of Rochester, and large force of accountants is at work on the 1edgers of the many iuterWoven com panies which Robin promoted.

 His Case Postponed.
 The case was postponed in the great est excitement. 8 stomach pump was hurried into play and the sick man was carried first to the prison hos pital adjacent and later to Bellevue, where he lies tonight in the prison ward No charge of attempted suicide s entered against him, and it Is thought he will recover. although the action of hyoscin is slow and much will depend on his vitality.
 Took Dozen Hyosoin Tablets.
 The time at which Robin took the drug is approximately fixed by the tes- tfmony of Dr. Austin Flint. retained +or Robin by William Travers Jerome, his counsel, Dr. Louise Robn6vitch, his sister. and the two detectives from the district attorneys office whO rode with
 
 criminal courts building. Dr. Flint told rhe court that, as nearly as he could judge from the sym ptoms. the poison had been in Robins system about three-qus rters of en hour when he col iapsed. The two detectives were posi- tive that their prisoner had swallowed nothing on the way to court. Dr. Robinovitch said that her brother had been in the habit of taking hyoscin in small doses to counteract the effects If morphine which he used to deaden the stabbing pains by which gall stones make themselves known. She kept the drug in her house and she thought her brother had swallowed twelve tablets. At Bellevue tonight the examining surgeons estimated that Robin had taken about cne-tenth of a grain.
 Life Saved by Stomach Pump.
 Robin seemed in good health this nornng--better than at any time since his troubles came upon him-snd he made no effort to screen his face from the cameras, as hitherto. The first sign of illness was when he staggered on stepping from his automobile to the criminal courts building. In the ele- y-ator he weakened go rapidly that the detectives had to lift him to a couch. There he sank into uuconsciOusnes and was not revived until the stomach pump had been worked vigorously. Its prompt r. undoubtedly saved him from immediate death.
