PLEAS OF GUILTY
IN SUGAR CASES
AROUSE INTEREST
Heike, the Secretary, Is Put on
the Defensive in Federal
Court Today.

NEW YORK, May 31.-With three
terest in the proceedings heightened
rather than diminished by their with
drawal, the resumption today of the
sugar conspiracy trial in the United
States Circuit Court was accompanied
by rumors that the governments long
search for men still higher up" In the
alleged conspiracy might shortly be re-
warded. The rumor arose chiefly out
of developments said to nave followed
the arrest of James o. Brzezenski, the
former special treasury agent, on a
charge of perjury in connection with
the sugar cases.
AS the result of pleas Of guilty last
Friday by the three government check
ers on trial there remained the big man
in the case, Charles r. Heike, secretary
of the American Sugar Refining Com
pany, and two of his former subor-
dinates, Ernest w. Gerbracht, superin-
tendent of the eompany's Williamsburg
refinery, and James It. Bendernagel, the
refinery cashier.
When the government had finally
rested, Harry r. Cochrane, attorney for
Bendernagel, opened the case for the
defense, telling the jury that it would
be shown that Bendernagel never had
anything to do with sugar weights,
false or true.
B~endernagel was put on the stand as
the first witness for the defense. He
said he had ben employed by the Sugar
Company forty years, and as cashier
had received &c. 900 q wear. He landed
about 4 200, 900 a year

Rain Does Much Good.

The rain of the past tw enty-four
hours has been general throughout
this section and has done much for
the hay crop. During the past few
days there has been a number of
fires between Crookston and Red
Lake Falls and some hay has been
burned. In Red Lake county and
in Roscau and other sections where
immense quantities of hay had been
stacked, the hay was practically all
in danger from fires, as despite past
experiences, many farmers persisted
in taking great chances. The rain
has stopped all fires and immediate
danger is over, but all stacks should
be plowed around at once.
