HeikE MUST HAVE KNOWN
About Underweighing of Sugar for the
Sugar Trust.


New York. May 2O-Henry H FaIk-
stem formerly 4 checker employed by
the American Sugar Refining Co., waS,
the chef witness called by the gov
eminent today in the trial of Charles
X. HeIke, who with five subordinates.
IS charged with conspiracy to defra nd
the government by under weighing
imports of sugar. Through this wit
ness the prosecution brought out that
records of the weights taken on the
oocks-so many of which are alleged
to have been fraudulent-were sent to
the main office of the Sugar Trust in
Wall Street, to the office of James E.
Bendernagel, one time cashier and to
the former refinery superintendent,
Ernest F. Gerbracht, both of whom
are defendants. On the strength OF
this the government hopes to show
that Heike as an executive of the
company must have known of frauds.

he has been convicted of wrccking, was

Hale Sounds a
Note of Warning.

WASHINGTON. May 20-That as d ma
ton the United States has gone wild
IN the matter of armament, especially
IN TIE construction of battleships was
asserted by Senators Hale, Clay and
GallinTer in the Senate today. These
statements were made during the con-
sideration of the naval appropriation
bill which occupied the attention OF the
Senate throughout the day. The bill
carries 1888, 900 900, and Hale predicted
that within five years the annual naval
appropriation would be not less than
$175. 100000. Consideration of the bill
was not concluded.
In the course of the same discussion
tho opinion was expressed freely that
the promised reduction of expenditures
would not take place during the pres
ent session of Congress and Hale and
Gallinger. both members of the com
mlttee on appropriations, united in the
statement that for the next fiscal year
the expenditure would exceed the rev.
enues. Another feature of the debate
was the citation of EX- President
Roosevelt as an advocate of reduced
armament.
This was al; brought about by an
amendment introduced by Burton pro-
viding for one battleship OF the Dread
nought type instead of the two author
lied by the bill as passed by the House.
The amendment offered n basis for
speeches by Clay, Hale. Gallinger, Bur-
tor. NeWlandS and others.
Senator Clay asserted that the appro-
priation for the navy proposed for the
present year averages 81 per head for
each man, woman and child in the
country.
BY quoting Hale as authority for the
statement that each of the proposed bat
tleships would cost not less than $4,000 =
600, Clay aroused general interest. Gal
linger expressed doubt and adduced fig
ures to show that the cost would not ex-
coed 100000.
Hale not only sustained Clay, but add
ed to his figures. He spoke of vessels as
completed, armored and equipped, and
said the total cost of putting one of these
vessels in the water would probably be
nearer $1S000,GoO than $16.00O,OOO
He declared that the falibility of the
naval board was such that there could
be no guarantee for the future.
That board never has been able to
make recommendation of type in these
ships that he been good for two years in
succession he said.
After estimating that there would be a
deficit at the end of the year, Hale said
"All this talk of the possession of a
surplus revenue places US in fools par
adse."
lie declared the United States had
caught the infection from England. where
the conditions are different.
Both Hale and Clay referred to the ad-
dress made i'll Christiania by. Mr.. Roosc-
Velt IN which he expressed the opinion
that there would be dminution of arm
