Both Change Tunes

Both Bell and Hearst have changed
their tunes and their tactics Bell
has forgiven Hearst and loves him like
a brother. Hearst has exculpated Bell,
endowed him with all the virtues that
he swore were foreign to the Bell
nature four years ago. and sent him
forth to save the state, and Incl

The softening of such ardent ma

Hearst particularized. He told of the

Hearst, through his Examiner, told the
people OF the state that Ruef wanted
Bell and that the San Francisco boss
had put all his influence behind the
Napa man.
That was before Bell was nominated
in 1906: before the attempt to make

FIVE TOWNS WANTED MILITIA.
HoIton Got 1t Because of Promise to
Own ArmOry.

Sometime ago the Hays City COM
pany of the Kansas National Guard
disbanded. The war board" of the
state announced that it would receive
applications from cities in Kansas to
fiji up the blank in the second regi-
ment. The result was that when the
board met at Topeka five towns had
organized companies bidding for the
vacancy, and three more towns had
bids in for the company.
HoltOn, Topeka, Independence,
Pleasanton and Stafford all had or
ganized companies. Olathe, Hill City
and Phillipsburg had letters on the
table" saying that they would like to
have the company.
HoIton. which finally won out in
the contest, had a company of 104
men organized. In the ranks of the
privates are such men as State Sena-
tor Myers and William T. Beck, editor
of the Holton Recorder. Devere Raft
er is captain, with First Lieutenant
Saunders and Second Lieutenant
Thompson as the other officers. The
fight finally narrowed down be-
tween Independence and Hoiton. In
dependence had seventy-six on its
list, with seventy-two on the waiting
list. Forty men of the Independence
organization had seen enlistment SER
vice in either the regular army or mil
tia. Seven had been officers, and one
had been a lieutenant in the regular
army.
The board is anxious that compan-
| les should have armories. Indepen-
dence had rented an armory. Holton
| had planned to buy one in case it got
| its company.
You will own your own armory?"
asked the board.
The Holton people retired for few
moments and came back with the an
nouncement that they had concluded
right then and there the purchase OF
a new big skating rink.
That settled the fight and Holton
won But Independence is going to
get the next vacancy.
Pleasanton presented membership
| of al men; Topeka also had a full
organization, many OF the members
of the Topeka crowd being well
known young society men. Stafford
also had good organization ready.

HEIKE IS SENTENCED.
Eight Months in Penitentiary and a
Fine of $4,000.

New York. Sept. 19.-Charles r.
Heike, former secretary and treasurer
OF the American Sugar Refining com
pany, who has been called the IMAM
nlgher up in the sugar trust, was SEN
fenced today by Judge Martin in the
United States circuit court to serve
eight months in the New York peni-
tertiary on Blackwell island and pay
a fine of $4,000 on conviction of con-
spring to defraud the United States
government by the underweighing of
sugar.
Judge Martin granted a stay of exc
cution of the sentence pending an ap-
peal to the United States circuit court
of appeals. The court also reduced
Heike's bail, which had been $25, 900
pending sentence since his conviction
last June, to $4,000.
He1ke's sentence is the eliminating
point in the federal government
prosecution of American Sugar Rein
ing company officials and employees
growing out of the extended under
weighing frauds on the WILLIAMSBURG
docks of the trust. brought to light by
Richard PARIS famous raid on the
docks in 1907. Four weighers for the
company and Oliver Splitter, their dock
boss. were convicted on the first crimi-
nal trial in connection with the frauds
and the weighers are still serving out
their sentence of a year in the Black
wells island penitentiary.
Splitter, who was sentenced to two
years in the Atlanta penitentiary. was
pardoned during the trial of Heike,
Ernest w. Gerbracht. the refinery su-
perlntendent, and four minor en-
ployees of the company for conspiracy.
He turned states evidence and his tes-
timony played an important part in
the conviction of Heike, Gerbracht and
the checkers. The sugar company,
meanwhile, had paid the government
more than 100000, out of which, it
was shown. the customs had been de-
frauded by the underweighing opera
lions.
Heike's case was long time coming
to trial as he first pleaded immunity
because of the testimony which he had
given before the federal grand jury in
another sugar company proceedings
His plea, however, was overruled by
the supreme court of the United
States.
Gerbracht was sentenced to two
years in the Atlanta prison and to pay
fine of $4,000. but was allowed a
stay pending appeal.

son, attorney for the board of railroad
his assistant E. H. Hogueland, has
gone to Chicago to attend the west
ern rate hearing until Mr.. Dawson
can complete his business in Topeka
and return there. Mr.. Dawson has
been in attendance to the eastern rate
hearing in New York city.
Epitomizing the difference in the
eastern and western cases. Mr.. Dawson
said that the hearing in Chicago tend
ed to show the need of higher rates
for dividends, while the one in New
York attempted to show the justifica-
ton of higher rates to pay higher
wages to working men.
Mr.. Dawson continued as follows:
THE contention for higher freight
rates to pay increased wages to the
railroad workingmen was weakened
by the fact that the same working
men operate passenger trains as we'll
as freight trains and passenger rates
must bear part of that increase and
in the east passenger rates have been
already raised on that excuse. No
attempt was made by the railroads to
segregate operating expense and
freight traffic.
Increase of rates as proposed af-
fects three-fourths of the freight rates
of the United States. There is a basis
