BEFORE
JURY

The government sugar trust
prosecution under the Sherman
antitrust law has been trans.
ferred from New York to Colo
RADIO. Forty subpoenas have
been served upon sugar company
operators in Colorado, Utah and
Idaho, summoning them to ap-
pear before the grand jury in
Pueblo. The man who is doing
all the probing is j. II. Knapp,
special assistant to Attorney
General Wickersham. Mr.. Knapp
reached Denver yesterday, says
the Denver News.
1t is said the independent dealers
have furnished the government the
evidence upon which the government
will attempt to prove restriction of
trade. The three Western states
were selected because of the large
sugar industry that has been built up
here. 1t is claimed the manufactur-
ers In Colorado, Utah and Idaho ship
to Missouri river jobbers, who return
the commodity to Denver and under
sell local retailers and wholesalers.
Among the sugar men served with
subpoenas were C. s. Morey, head of

Charles w. Waterman, Denver at

of Holly. Among others subpoenaed
are Joseph F. Smith, Dacid Eccles
and c. w. Nibbley of Utah and Idaho.

companies that operate in Colorado
operate separately, and there is keen

Boulder, Colo, April 1.-THE reg
ular schedule of the University of
Colorado baseball team opens Satur-
day at Colorado Springs, when the
state school will line up against the
Tigers in the first game of the inter-
collegiate series. The first team has
been chosen from sixty candidates
and Coach Castleman will spend the
week putting finishing touches upon
his team,
Many of the drawbacks which were
anticipated at the beginning of the
practice have been worked out and
within the last week the team has
developed wonderfully, particularly
in stickwork.
Under the guidance of Wally Was
son at least three prospective slab
artists are in condition to make good
showings against the Tigers. Bailey
probably has distinguished himself
more than any other because of his
hitting ability and GOODNESS in the
box. Swartzlander, Brock, Garland
and Nelson are doing good work and
the selection of the pitcher for the
opening game is still a matter of con-
lecture.
Bond or Bonner will catch. Nc
Neil at first, Matthews at second
Cowell at short and Fawcett at third,
are practically certain of places. The
outfield probably will be made up of

Newport News, Va, February 16---
Acting under Instructions from Mayor
Marquis Jones, representative Of the
city called at the plant of tho Newport
News Gas Company to-day and watched
the cleaning of the purifying apparatus
of the plant The Mayors order was
issued in accordance with request
contained in resolution adopted last
night by the Board OF Aldermen.
For the past month there has been
quite stir here over the gas situa-
ton. Some weeks ago 1t was noticed
that the Illuminating gas furnished by
the Newport News Gas Company
burning. Several prominent physi-
clans. including DIR. w. r. Aylett, DR..
r. IT. styll and the health officer, DR..
T. j. Pretlow, declared that these
fumes were Injurious to health. and DR..
Styll went so far as to declare that q
spell Of pneumonia from which he had
Just recovered was directly attributable
to the gas. The health officer called
upon the company to take some step
toward remedying the evil, and it was
then announced that the company had
placed an order for new purifying ap-
paratus, to cost about $4,000, and that
pending the arrival of this equipment
the product of the plant would be kept
| pure and harmless by daily cleansing
of the purifying boxes now in use.
This announcement seemed to satisfy
the public, and nothing more was heard
about the matter until last night. when
Alderman C. D. West announced during
the meeting Of tho Aldermen that he
did not believe the gas was being kept
pure; that he did not care anything
about the promises of the gas compa-
ny's officials, and that he believed the
public would be better satisfied If an
employe of the city actually saw the
purifiers cleaned every day.
After this announcement the Alder
men unanimously adopted the resolu-
ton requesting the Mayor to designate
some city employe to supervise the
cleaning process at the plant
