SUGAR TRUST WORSTED
Supreme Court Decides Il Can Bs
Prosecuted For Violating Sherman
Anti. Trust Law.

Washington, Dec. 13.-Through a de-
clsion OF the United States SUI
preme court, which was handed
down yesterday, the prosecution of
John E. Persons and live other direc.
tors of the sugar trust under the Grim
inal section of the Sherman antitrust
law is made possible.
The prosecution will be under in
dictments already returned against the
seven directors, charging them violat
ing the Sherman law in the acquisi.
ton and suppression of the Pennsyl.
vania Sugar Refining company of Phil
adelphia, the controlling interest in
which was held by Adolph Segel.
The decision Of the supreme court
yesterday was a reversal of that Of
Judge Holt Of the circuit court for the
Southern district of New York in the
cases of Gustav f. Kissel and Thomas
r. Harmed, two agents of the trust.
Kissel and Harmed were indicted
with Mr.. Parsons and the other d.
rectors on July /, 1910. They inter-
posed plea in bar to the indictment
reciting that a conspiracy such as
charged in the indictment was not con-
tinuous and that the statute of limita-
lions had intervened to prevent prose
cution. Judge Holt sustained this plea.
The supreme court held that the con-
sriracy was continuous and the stat
ute of limitations could not be pleaded
in bar. The five directors indicted
made no plea but the prosecution of
their cases have been held up pending
tine outcome of the appeal to the SUI
preme court by Kissel and Harmed.
At the department of justice last
night. Attorney General Wickersham
and United States District Attorney
Wise of New York-both of whom
were in court when the decision was
rendered--said that this decision
meant the prosecution not only of Kls-
sci and Harmed, but of Mr.. Parsons
and the other directors
