Gatherlng OF Facts Begun by Govern
ment Last December and Federal
Grand Juries Have Examined At.
fairs Of a Hundred IndiWdusI Con-
Germs Gince That Date.
Suits Will be instituted within a
short time, under the Sherman anti
trust law, having tie purpose in view
of breaking up tae American Sugar
Refining company.
This corporation is popularity
known as the sugar trust, and the
litigation in prospect is entirely in
dependent Of the criminal proceed
ings just concluded in New York,
which grew cut OF the theft of over
100000 through false weights on
| customs scales.
The pending action is the most i'm.
portant of any of the prosecutions
undertaken by President Taft against
the sugar trust, and has been in
course of preparation since last De-
cember. IN it the government Will
ask that the trust be dissolved as a
monopoly operating in defiance of the
antitrust laws Of the nation.
The extent of the evidence which
has been obtained against the trust
is not disclosed. In report made to
the president by Mr. Wickersham and
Cacrntary NacNaoUh If 10 Stotad tb OF
since December grand jury investiga-
tions have been held in New York,
Colorado, California and other states !;
hundreds of witnesses have been ex-
amined, and the corporate history of
over 100 individual companies has
been examined minutely.
The sugar trust suit will be upon
grounds similar to those alleged
against tae Standard Oil company in
the suit now before the supreme
court. The government will charge
that the American Sugar Refining
company has absorbed individual
companies ard destroyed compet!-
ton to such an extent that it has
ll4Sltti pO4lHSu llLC SlllllC u lOC anu
commerce CT the United States.
Upcn this ground the dissolution
of the comDany will be asked for,
under the Sherman antitrust laws
and the government will insist tnat
the individual companies taken over
by the American Sugar Refining con-
pany be restored to their original in
dependent status.
Criminal prosecutions of the sugar
trust officials On this charge OF mo-
nopoly also will be attempted The
department OF justice, in it's search
for evidence against the trust. has
protected itself against granting i'm
munity to any officials Of the trust
who may be liable to criminal attack
for willfully ignoring the federal laws
against trusts.
Officials of the sugar trust under.
took two months ago to gain immuni
ty from criminal prosecutions in the
new federal proceedings. They re.
fused to obey subpoenas issued at
the instance of the special attorneys
who have been investigating the
trust. and attempted to have these
subpoenas enforced through methods
that would grant them immunity from
criminal prosecution If they gave
their testimony.
The government declined to be
caught and obtained subpoenas di
rected against the corporation itself
under which the officials were obliged
to appear and produce their books
Repeated efforts have been made tc
head off the investigation in various
states, but the attorney general be
lieves he has evidence of a convinc
ing character and upon which a for
midable suit can be launched agains
| the sugar trust.

TAKES BRYAN's SIDE.

In all Ohio there is not a
more persistently Democratic
publication than the Athens
Journal. That this journal
z should have openly espoused
; the Bryan demand for a sena.
I torial Endorsement came as
B distinct shock to the Harmon
z managers, who are hopeful Of
) evading the issue.
In its issue of June IA, 1910, in
; bold, black-face type across dou-
BILE columns of the first page, the
? Athens Journal prints the fol-
: lowing:
} "The Democrats will have
I chance to carry the legislature

vance senatorial candidate who

Letter from California.

The weather is cool for thi
time of year; the cause is W
have a cold planet to rule thi
year. But this is fine weathe
for southern California crops
which are doing well. Harves
is all done, with the exception O.
alfalfa, which lasts all summer
Hay baling is the order nova
days.
No contagious diseases in oul
locality now and health in gen
eral is good, although we had a
sad death in our High School last
Tuesday morning. AS the in
structor, Mr.. Sturgis, was Civ,
ing his lecture to the pupils, a.
bout 200 in number, he dropped
dead before them all. 1t was q
sad occasion, as he was a man
beloved of all, a good Christian
man and had been in school work
here for fifteen years.
We are glad to learn that DR..
Brown of Portland, Ind, is i'm
proving and hope he will soon be
able to again contribute to the
columns of the Journal.
The Sunday schools are taking
turn about having picnics at Ur-
bita Springs, a fine place for
such affairs. The Salt Lake
train is bringing train loads from
all over the county and state to
this resort, noted as one of the
finest places for bathing, boat
riding, base ball, play ground,
etc.
The public schools will soon
close, then they will all want an
outing. 1t takes about all sum-
mer for all to get a chance. 1t
is amusing to see those young
people taking good swim after
being in school eight or lime
months and it is fine to see the
teachers take their pupils for a
picnic "a jolly crowd in the
plunge.
Our court is still grinding a.
way at those divorce cases-some
are getting it right and some ov-
er the left.
We still have plenty to ham,
mer stone, in our workhouse, for
our roads, as the whiskey king
gets the advantage and then
they go to the rock pile.
San Bernardino's centennial
celebration was a great success.
We had a great display of In
dians, fine stock, etc. Thousands
of people came from all over the
state and other parts of the coun-
try. 1t resembled the Worlds
Fair at Chicago.

Washington Letter.
Washington, June %.

Washington, June %
With the adjournment of Con
gress, a brief review of what leg,
. islation has been accomplished
will be in place, and it will be
found that the record of the
present Congress has seldom, if
ever, been excelled in the num-
ber and in the Importance of the
bills passed. Thirtysix thousand
bills were offered during the ses-
sion-twentyseven thousand by
the House and nine thousand by
the Senate, to say nothing of
hundreds of resolutions on a va
riety of subjects. In no previous
session have so many bills been
presented.
With reference to those reform
movements which have become
known as the bills of the presi-
dents program, there are many
instances of accomplishment.
Perhaps first in Importance is
the establishment of postal saw
ings banks.
Then a revision of the railroad
laws involving the creation of a
commission court.
The admission of the states of
New Mexico and Arizona as sep
arate states, raising the number
of sovereign states in the Union
to fortyeight.
A very important bill was that
giving to the president unlimited
authority to withdraw public
lands for conservation purposes.
Under this act the president was
E.granted power to withhold lands
from settlement and to conserve
the water power, and at the same
time the act provided for the ag-
ricultural entry of coal lands
which will open to settlement, it
is said, as much as sixty million
acres, reserving at the same time
the coal right to the government.
The increase of the Navy,
while not including many ships
of the first class, was significant
in the fact that there were ap-
preparations for two battleships
of 1900 tons each. These are
to be armed with 14-inch guns,
which, it is said, will make them
more formidable than any battle
ships on the seas. There were
appropriations also for four tor
pedo-boat destroyers, two colliers
and four submarines, and an in
crease of three thousand seamen,
was provided for in the bill.
The publicity campaign bill is
considered one of great import
ance in that candidates must,
within a short time after elec-
tion, publish the amount of CAM
paign contributions.
A bill authorizing an appropri-
alton of twenty millions in GER.
tifcates of indebtedness to con.
tinue reclamation projects was
passed.
Also a bill creating a Bureau Of
Mires.
A bill appropriating $3.50, OO(
for the support of tariff boarC

pected. They put Harmon a
the head of the ticket. Their
was very little choice in the Sc
lection. There was no other MAI
seeking the place, and Governor
Harmon was nominated by &C
clamStiOn. 1t is well; for he is
safe man in the position he oc.
cupies. And he may win again,
and he may not. The state is
safely Republican on a straight
issue. Two years ago the Dem
ocratic candidate for governor
won because so many Republi-
cans were hostile to Harris, and
they voted for the Democratic
Harmon rather than for the Re-
publican nominee, who had sign
ed the county local option bill.
There is no side issue this time.
If the Republican convention will
put in nomination a good ticket
victory will be theirs, it is pretty
sure.
It was somewhat of a surprise
when Creamer was put in NOM
ination again. The Democrats
had said so much about grating
and had shown such horror of
peculation, that one supposed
that a CRATER would have no
chance for nomination. Cream
er got in all the same. The gov
ernor seemed to favor him, not
withstanding the petty grating.
To be sure, Creamer's graft
ing did not amount to much, on
ly a few dinners and railroad
rides, which he charged to the
state when out on private busi-
ness; but the principle is the same
whether much or little be graft
ed. Creamer will be elected to
stay at home, we think.
Harmon and Bryan are not in
harmony about the election of
senator. Bryan wanted the state
convention to designate the can
didate so that the people might
know what was going to happen
in case the legislature would be
= Democratic, but Harmon thought
it a better policy to reveal moth
ing until after the election was
over. In this instance Bryan
had the right of it. 1t is better
to be honest with the voters.
But it is better politics to con-
ceal the choice unless the choice
would happen to meet the ap-
proval of the people generally.
If they mean to slip in some
crooked fellow, it is a good poll
cy not to make it known in ad-
vance. Harmon is a good politi-
clan, but Bryan is straight out
and conceals nothing.
The Democratic convention
spurned the counsel of the Nigh
ty Bryan. They hurled defiance
at him. It was a courageous
thing to do, but hardly wise.
Bryan's influence may be on the
wane, but still he remains the
most popular Democrat in the
United States, And although he
can not be elected president he
can defeat any man not accepta-
BILE to him.
Harmon, we predict, will not
