SP|TzER SAYS He
LIED FOR A TRUST
Thought Sugar Company So Big
Nothing Could Harm It.
NE IMPLICATED HAvEMfYfR
The Frauds Against the Government
Were Going on When Ne En-
tered Their Employ 20
Years Ago.

New York, May 26.-oliver Splitter
former superintendent Of the docks Of
the American Suger Refining company
explained why he did not confess dur
ing the trial which ended last FeDru'
ary with his being sentenced to two
years at Atlanta. Such q confession
he declared on the stand, would have
carried him to a cemetery" In other
words. he would have implicated the
late Henry o. Havemeyer, former
head of the sugar trust.
Splitter was under cross-examlna'
tIon by the defense at the trial OF
Charles r. ,Heike, Secretary-treasurer
OF the American Sugar Refining COM
pany. who with ave subordinates Is
charged with conspiracy to defraud
the government by underweighing
sugar. He repeated that he had made
HIS confession not with hope Of par
don but to ease his conscience, and
added that after his conviction his at
torneys, now appearing for several OF
the defendants, had urged him to tell
all he knew.
Why He Did Not Confess.
"What did you say when advised to
confess?" asked Clarence Lexow, for
the defense.
II said the only confession l can
make will carry me into a cemetery
and Mr.. Stlmson (the government
prosecutor) doesn't want that"
"You are referring to Henry o.
Havemeyer?" asked the lawyer.
Eyes, | am" answered Splitter.
This closed the court incident, but
Splitter talked more freely after ,leav'
ing the stand. He said he had met j..
O. Havemeyer two or three times and
that Ernest W. Gerbracht, former re-
tinery superintendent, another OF the
defendants, had made his reports d.
rect to Mr.. Havemeyer.
The frauds he insisted had begun
before his time, although he worked
on the docks twenty-nine years. He
admitted that the steel springs used
to manipulate the scales on the docks
were his invention.
"Why did you not tell the truth IN
the first placer" he was asked.
EVERY time look In a mirror | see
a damn fool, was the answer. II was
a fool not to do 1t, but I was ashamed
to let anyone know that did these
things. My credit was good; | could
get anything and did not want peo-
Die to know that was fool enough
to do these things for nothing. ! got
nothing out of 1t.
Another reason why I committed
perjury was because thought nothing
could happen to the sugar trust. We
all thought the trust was so strong
that the government could not do any
thing with It."

ACCIDENT THAT MEANT RUIN
Simple ovsrturnIns Of an lnkpot re-
suited In the Bankruptcy Of
Great Firm.

The mere motion Of hand ruined
Goblet & Co., one Of the largest and
wealthiest Of English engineering
firms. They and an American hrm had
rendered bids for the building OF inc
great Kaura bridge for the Russian
government.
Jacob Goblet, who was the brains
and center Of the business. spent el1
months in designing and contracting
and had all his plans ready. His pld
was accepted and material was bought
In enormous quantities. A time limit
had been set for both commencement
and finish, and Goblet was perfecting
his plans and making sure Of the
smallest details, with all the formula
spread out on the table before him.
when he stretched out his hand, over
turned an inkpot and drowned the
most important Of the papers In q
black sea.
Goblet had a poor memory. In
fever Of anxiety he tried to recon-
struct his plans from stray notes. It
was impossible, and he called on the
Russian government for more time.
Time was refused and Russia re-
pudiated the contract on the ground
of delay, as the agreement allowed.
Goblet could not get his work
through In time. and the Yankee firm.
which now advanced a cheaper tender.
with cut and dried plans, got the JOB.
The loss drove Goblet 8 Co. to
bankruptcy. and the great Kaura
bridge In Russia is American built.

BEEF TRUST CLAIMS
TO Be IMMUNE
Argue That Statutes Of Limitation
n Have Run.
EXISTED OVER THREE YEARS
While Government Contends That Vic
Iatlon Of Law 10 Continuous
Judge Takes Demurrer
Under Amusement.

Chicago, May 20. Astonishment
struck the government attorneys in the
prosecution of the alleged Beef trust
when counsel for the indicted Nation
al Packing company and its ten sub
sldIaries advanced the claim that even
though the combine was . trust the
federal authorities would be powerless
TO prosecute 1t on a criminal charge.
Arguing before Judge Lands In sup
BORT Of demurrer to the indictments,
Attorney George T. Buckingham de-
clared that any trust after three years
from the date Of Its organization was
immune from prosecution under the
statutes. The statutes Of limitation,
he asserted, tied the governments
hands and made 1t impossible to pun
fish the National Packing company for
entering into combine on March Is,
1908.
Government Makes Denial.
The government contends that the
statute Of limitations cannot run
against an illegal trust; that Its viola
tion Of the law 10 continuous thing;
and that its very existence Is CON
trary to the Sherman antitrust law
Such was the argument made by AS
siStant District Attorney Wilkerson
IN reply to Mr.. Buckingham.
Judge Lands did not announce his
decision on the demurrer but took the
case under advlsement.
II the courts were to uphold Mr..
Buckingham's reasoning 1t Is declared
II would be impossible to reach any
trust more than three years old by d
criminal prosecution. The only relief
would lie in chancery proceedings tt
cause the dissolution OF the combine.
