Lewiston, Me-, May 26.-(SpeciaD.-The
Bates College Student Council held an
important meeting this morning and the
entire student assembly met to adopt
set of bylaws. The council delivered
it's first set of recommendations since II

to the conduct of the chapel exercises.
Hereafter the door of the chapel will be
closed at the end of the ringing of the
second bell and after exercises are over
the students are to go Immediately out
and will find .any professors with whom
they may wish to have a conference, in
the rooms outside the chapel doors.
The bylaws of the assembly contained
one new feature of Bates life, the part
which refers to the position of the
Freshman and his relation to the college.
Hereafter more distinction is to be given
upperclassmen, and a few rules of con-
duct were passed, these rules to take
effect next year.

Liberal WEIGHTS.

A Number Of Letters

The Conspiracy Trial.
American Sugar Refining Co.'S.
Technical Statements.

New York, May 2G-Charles r. Heike
in the United States circuit court to-
day heard Henry l.. Stimson, for the
government, read letters in which
Heike spoke of the liberal weights we
receive from the customs house" AS
secretary treasurer of the American
Sugar Refining Co, the so-called Sugar
Trust, Heike is charged with conspir-
acy to defraud the government of
customs dues on imports of raw sugar.
Five Subordinates are being tried with
him and the prosecution has been en-
deavOrng to prove that, he although
an executive was cOgnlZant of and in
Strumental in cheating at the trick
scales. Counsel for Heike fought bit
terly to bar the letters, but Judge
Martin overruled the objections and
theV became part Of the record. The
first was dated Dec. "a, 1904, and add
dressed to Frank G.. Turner, superin-
tendent of the South Boston refinery.

count of the other retineries y.
Il made a change in New York sew
eral wears ago when we found that
cargoes of sugar melted at our refin-
cries showed larger losses in weight
than it was reasonable to expect. That
the difference was not due to actual
losses was shown by the technical
,,I, tlxyt 10
gains in the percentage OF cryStalljZa-

"These differences are due to two
causes. First the desire of the super
intendents to make as good showing
of their working as possible; second
by the liberal weights and tares which
we receive from the customs house and
which of course. We do not undertake
to correct. These customs house
weights are generally taken as basis
for the MEETINGS. To charge the melt

adopted the following system"

NOT AMERICAN SCHOONER.
Esfuerzo Has Nicaraguan Register
No Right to Stars and Stripes.

Washington, May EFF the schoon-
err Esfuerzo, which was searched by the
Nicaraguan gunboat Venus, was flying
the United States flag at the time she
was overhauled. as has been reported.
she was carrying the Stars and Stripes
without any authority, according to
official advices received here.
The navy department has authentic
information that the Esfuerzo is not
an American schooner. She is said to
have Nicaraguan register and is en-
titled to fly the Nicaraguan flag. It Is
thought probable that she may be part
ly owned by Americans, but that in
no sense entities her to the protection
of the United States as an American
vessel. Under these circumstances the
American government would not be
justified in taking any action whatever
in her case.

Forces Shorts to Settle AMI
Down Co Prices in Chicago Market
---Patten Un|oaded 100000
Bushels September Wheat.

Chicago, May 26.-The private settle
ment of Theodore H. Waterman s
squeeze" in May wheat today caused
a remarkable decline in prices. The I'M
loading of 5000, 900 bushels of Septem-
Der wheat by James A. and George H.
Patten and the announcement of their
withdrawal from the brokerage firm
of which they have been members for
a generation and also their retirement
at least temporarily from business
came concidentally
The net decline in prices ranged from
four and a half cents in September to
more than five cents in May wheat. AL
together the day in wheat was one des-
tined to take rank with other momen-
tous periods of the history of the Chi
cago Board of Trade.
James A. Patten left his Office to-
night wearing a smile. In his limousine
he had leisure to read headlines esti-
mating his losses at anywhere between
$640, 900 to $1,200000 for the day.
Asked by a reporter if he had any,
thing to say about the market, the
speculator laughed and said:
Just say I don't know anything
about the market
in this jovial manner Mr.. Patten ad-
mitted that he had come out second
best in a contest with the bears.
The status of neither the Nav nor
the September options despite today's
developments is understood with Ger
tainty. AS to Patten it is not known
whether he and his brother George
have disposed of all their September
holdings, or still have a considerable
amount awaiting a possible steadier
market.
Daily Kennebec journal. [microfilm reel] (Augusta, Me.) 1870-1975, 1910-05-27

While their retirement was annOunc-
| ed today, it is remembered that it does
not become effective until July. Ger
| tain traders with reputation for
shrewdness profess the belief that the
| market will be called upon to Absorb
| more long September wheat during the
as to the May option. Has it all been
settled for:
Traders are assured that Theodore
II. Waterman, the Albany miller the
leading long in May, has carried his
deal through to a successful conclu
sion and forced the leading short inter-
est to settle with him at his own price,
generally believed to have been around
$1.H. ANY effort to gauge his profits,
however. is futile. 4. j. Lichstern is
said to have been the leading short in
this option, but chiefly as agent for a
big elevator concern.
Several cargOeS of actual wheat We're
delivered to Waterman during the last
10 days in an endeavor to break the
market. The latter bent. but it did not
break. That a settlement had been eff
fected became known today when a
cargo of No. l Northern wheat, con-
signed to Chicago for delivery to Wa
terman mad been diverted to Buffalo.
Ho'r many others, if any, short con-
tracts remain to be settled before the
end of the month, when the option
ceases, is a matter of conjecture.
The declines today We're five and sew
