TRIAL OF MEN

 SUGAR FRAUDS

loPcClA1 OAIlCo IOSos
 New York May 16-The trial of the men alleged to have been the higher ups" in the conspiracy to defraud the government by underweighing of sugar for customs. was begun today before Judge Martin in the United States Circuit Court.
 The defendants are Charles F. Heike. secretary and treasurer of the Amer icanu Sugar Refining Company, the sugar trust: James F. Bendernagel, former cashier on the Williamsburg docks of the trust: Ernest W. Ger bracht, former general superintendent; Harry w. Walker, former assistant dock superintendent and Jean M. VOel- checkers on the sugar docks.
 Henry L. Stimson opened for the gov ernment, declaring that the govern ment intended to show that the de- fendants entered into a conspiracy on the sugar docks and at the trust head quarters, IF Wall street, to under weigh the sugar by "doctoring" the company's scales on the Williamsburg docks. The selection of a jury will probably require two days.
 Stimson will be assisted by Winfred DeniSon and Felix DankfOrter. John B. Stanchfield appears for Heike; for mer State Senator Clarence Lexow, of LeXow committee fame, for Gerbracf1t and Henry F. Cochrane for the other defendants.

London, May 16.-Today being Whit Monday furnished a striking proof of the national character of England's S grieving for her dead king Although a national holiday, it was lacking in al! or the former festive features, not Wthstanding the fact that the new King George had asked his people not to let his fathers death interfere with their usual amuSements on this day. Ordinarily Whit Monday sees the streets crowded with merry throngs and the parks and heath turned into vast amusement places.
 There was no such outpouring today and the usual rendezvouses for the public were deserted.
 The fact that tomorrow will witness the removal of the body of the late king from the throne room in Buck ingham Palace to Westminster Hall cast a spell of gloom over the entire city. The royal household and the various diplomatic corps had a final view today of the body of Edward as # lay in the coffin on a catafalque in the throne room. The scene was made pathetic by the grief of many of the old employees of the late King who wept hysterically The queen mother was greatly moved by the af- lection displayed by these old servi- tors and said that their grief, while touching, was one of the greatest solaces she has found in her own sor- row.
 Half hour changes in the details of guards around the coffin were inau-

 In connection with the police. the members of the fire department throughout the city, anxious to relieve taken up the search for the little Chambers boy, yet they have met with no more success than attended the quest of the police. Mrs. McMahOn is inclined to the belief that the chil- dren have wandered away, while the more fearful that something more se- rious has happened.
 The description of the Chambers boy given by his parents to the Farmer, has him clad in a dark blue coat, light knee pants, black shoes and stockings and straw hat with a red band. This unusual feature of his attire is expected to help in locating him. He has light hair. blue eyes and is rather stout
 Mrs. McMahon describes her son as a little large for his age, wearing dark with V-shaped collar in front, blssuk laced shoes and black stockings, and a cap of dark mixed material. He has dark hair and is "a ther thin She says she was preparing supper for the family when Joseph walked in. then started out. She told him he had better wait for something to eat, but he walked out without anything, and has been missing since
 The McMahOn boy had associated with older children considerably and was little more self-confident than the Chambers boy. who was inclined to be reticent. The children of the neighborhood told the Chambers boys parents today that the children had talked much of late about camping out, and this has led them to hope that they will be found wandering about the country rather than that they have come to disaster.
 The fire of last night was not such as would have imperilled the boys It was on the top floor of the building and it would have been impossible for them to have gotten into danger there or account of the presence of firenen and policemen on all sides, especially rear the entrances to the blazing build ing, so the police are satisfied they could not have come to harm while the fire was in progress.

Completely baffled in the search for ! two lost children, and almost forced to the conclusion that the youngsters have come to some harm, the police are unable to offer any consolation to the parents of Joseph McMahon and Frederick Chambers, each six, years old The parents are well nigh fran tic over their protracted absence. Neither has been seen since o'clock last night.
 Joseph McMahon Is the son of MT. and Mrs. Joseph McMahon, of 30 Will Ham street His father is a bridge builder, superintendent for Snare & Triest. and he is now located at Mar Alehead, Mass. He is one of eight children. Tho Chambers boys is one of four children of Albert Chambers, ing with family, at 13 William St.
 At G. last evening, the children of their neighborhood were at play in the street when the alarm of fire sounded from Middle and Congress streets, box s17. The two boys, with Eugene ter mond. son of T. A. Jermond the as- distant superintendent of the Police G Charities building, and Viola Cham bers. eight years, old, daughter of Fireman Chambers, ran with the old CT people who crossed the footbridge to ths scene of the fire. Towards. nine o'clock the Jermonds became alarmed at the absence of their little son, and sent Ethel Jermond, an older sister, to bring the children home. She re- turned with her little brother, and the Chambers girl. She saw the young esters at the ire, but did not bring them back.
 When the Chambers boys mother began inquiries, late last evening, for her children, she became much alarm ed on learning that the little McMa- hon boy was also missing, for he was given to playing about the scene of the new Congress street bridge, where his father, until very recently was employed. Fearful that the young sters had strayed up on the ironwork of the bridge and had toppled over in- to the harbor, she sent a word to her husband. who remained at home until o'clock securing the neighborhood for traces of the lost children.
