TELLS JUDGE BARBER DIDN'T
TRIM WHISPERS PROPERLY.

Judge Joseph B.. Bray, of the Orange
Police Court. had a p~erplexing problem
in hirsute adornment ethics this morn
ing that proved too much for the court
and he passed along the mooted propo-
sitioil OF What constitutes an artistic
shave to higher authorities. Nicodemus
Beskin, Of 213 North Fifth street, New
ark, attached to the local Salvation
Army barracks, hurried into h curt
room at 10 o'clock, and called Judge
Bray's attention to his "sidcboards,'
which projected in varying lengths on
either side OF his face.
He said Fred Smith, q barber at Us
Main street. Orange. after trimming his
wh.sker authorizations left one side two
inches longer than the other.
And when ! demanded, after viewing
my face, that he finish the job by MAX
ing the whiskers of equal length, he re-
torted he was not a Jew nor a saliva
ZIONIST, and was an authority on my
facial appearance said the man.
Careful examination with a foet-rule
convinced the court of the discrepancy
on one side of the mans face, II he
sent for Smith.
Tn too busy was the answer sent
back by Smith, and the court said he
had no jurisdiction.
Very WELL" said the angry salvation
Army man I'll go to q civil court,
where I know my uniform will be
treated with respect and honor
The court told him to go ahead, and
with a sigh of relief he took up a fam
lily row between members OF a negro
family which resulted in a hospital ex-
perience for one of the members.

INSURANCE TO PAY
 DEFAUlTEh'S DEBTS
Former Public Administrator at Kan sas City Insured Life to Meet
 S5O,Oo0 Loss in Wall Street.

Kansas City, Mo-, June 3.-Reuben $. Crohn, fcrmer public administrator of Jackson county, who ended his life after confessing he was $50,000 short in his accounts, did so, it is said that the insurance on his life might be used to pay his debts immediately. His death will not stand in the way of the payment of S59, 800 insurance which he carried.
 Respected and trusted by many of the wealthiest business men of Kan sas City Crohn became a secret plunger on Wall street. First his losses were few and then he was crushed by a heavy loss. He had to make good and he used the money trusted to his care. He made known his losses to a few friends, but the aid he expected did not come
 Members of his family refuse to believe Crohn's 6efalcaticns Will reach S50,OJ).

DEFRAUD SUGAR GROWERS
Trust Falsified Grading of Imports, According to Testimony of Former
 Refinery Superintendent.

New York, June 3.-That the sugar trust was founded in fraud, in which not only the government of the United States but the growers of sugar in Cuba, Java and India sui fered, was the deduction dragged from Ernest W. Gerbracht, former super intendent of the Williamsburg retin- cry of the American Sugar Refining company, on trial for defrauding the government of custom duties.
 T was ordered by the late H. O. Havemeyer to falsify polariscopic tests of sugar, so that we would have to pay less to the sugar grower" said Gerbracht, as he writhed before the merciless cross-eXamination of Spe- cial Assistant Attorney General Hen " Stimson.
 Sugar is purchased from the sugar planters on weight and grade, the lower the grade, the less paid by the trust. To cheat the owner of the sugar by underweighing was not as easy as cheating the government by underweighing, for the owners usual ly had men to check against the com pany weighers. So a new scheme. that of reducing the grade of the

RICH PRIZES TEMPT
 AViATORS TO RACE
America and Europe, Reused to a Frenzy of Enthusiasm, Offer Rich
 Prizes-$215,coO Sum Total.

New York, June 3.-Aviation prizes totalling S215,000 are either now standing or about to be put up. Dis patches show several notable addi- tions to the rich rewards recently of fered for aerial conquests and, if the craze keeps up few days longer, it is probable the total will be largely increased
 That the possibilities of the aero- plane are practically unlimited is shown by tentative conditions that surround some of the prizes. The longest route proposed is that from New York to St. Louis or from St. Louis to New York, though this does not appeal to the imagination any more than the proposed triangular flight from Indianapolis to St. Louis 10 Chicago and thence back to Indian apolis, a distance of l,650 miles, for which it is proposed to raise a purse of $40,000
 These rich prizes are arousing as great enthusiasm for aviation in this country as has been manifested in France, where aeroplanes are almost as common as automobiles. Even the Wright brothers, who heretofore have held alOOf from contests. indicate desire to enter for the flight between New York and St. Louis. Glenn Cur tiss, winner of the Albany y-toNew York $10,000 prize, will try for sev- eral of the new prizes, as will J. c. Mars, Clifford Harmon, Charles K. Hamilton, Charles F. Willard and oth CTS who have already won renown as Gviators.
 Louis Paulhan. who has more dar- ing achievements to bis credit than any other aviator. with the possible exception of Glenn Curtiss, may bring over his Farman biplane, with which he won the $50,000 for his flight from London to Manchester and go after some of the big stakes on this side. Paulhan was so disgusted with his re- cent trip to this country be announced he had enough of America, but the latest word from France is that the slze of the American purses appeals to him.
