"Sugar Trust Attorneys" AS

WIckERsHAM IS ACCUSED
H. w. Taft, J. N. Beck and J. E.
Parsons Included in Attack-Lat-
ter's Son Defends Father.

A row broke out in the House late
this afternoon, when Representative
Rainey of Illinois. in his speech today be-
fore the House, made a violent attack
upon Attorney General Wickersham,
Henry w. Taft, brother of the President
John E. Parsons, father of Representa-
NJ. Beck, former assistant attorney gen.
eral, for their alleged connection with
the sugar trust as attorneys of past or
present record.
Mr.. Rainey first stigmatized Attorney
General Wickersham as sugar trust
attorney" Upon being corrected by
Mr. F'assett, he declared that he is not
now the sugar trust attorney. but was
formerly a member of the firm which
represented that trust.
Charges Against Taft and Beck.
He said that Henry w. Taft is now
the attorney for the trusts, that Mr.. Beck.
familiar with the government proceed
ings, has become an attorney. and tina,
the facts eembarrass President Taft
unless he be given an opportunity te
explain them as provided by the Fitz'
gerald resolution.
Mr.. Rainey declared that John E.. Par
sons is now under indictment and has
pleaded the statute of limitations.
This brought Representative Parsons te
his feet. who said he was proud to say
that John E. Parsons is his father ano
that he has not pleaded the statute OF
limitations.
What has he pleaded?' asked Mr.
Rainey. mot guity?''
Mr.. Parsons said he has pleaded moi
guilty and the case will be tried on its
merits, and that if his father is found
guilty of anything he will take his pun
ishment like a man.

LEE AT APPOMATT0X.
One of the Most Notable Scenes In tbs
History of the War-Ths
Parting of Comrades.

Men who saw the defeated general
when he came forth from the chamber
where be had signed the articles Of
capitulatiOn say that he paused mo-
ment as his eyes rested once more on
the Virginia hills, smote his hands to-
gether as though in some excess Of
inward agony, then mounted his gray
horse, Traveller, and rode calmly away.
If that was the very Gethsemane
Of his trials, yet he must have had
then one moment Of supreme, If chas-
tened, Joy. As he rode quietly down
the lane leading from the scene OF
capitula ton he passed into view Of his
men-of such as remained Of them.
The news Of the surrender had got
abroad, and they were waiting, grief
stricken and detected, upon the hill
sides when they caught sight Of their
old commander on the gray horse
Then occurred one Of the most notable
scenes in the history Of the war. In
an instant they were about him, bare
headed, with tear wet faces, thrOnging
him. kissing his hand, his boots, his
saddle; weeping, cheering him amid
their tears, shouting his name to the
very skies. He said: Men, we have
fought through the war together.

AN AFRICAN TlTBIT.
Hippopotamus Meat Has a Strong
Odor and Flavor of Musk-is
Liked by the Natives.

To the African traveller the hippo
potamus is a species Of game particu-
larly desirable, for it's ivory and it's
hide are both valuable, while the not
incopsiderable danger involved in its
pursuit provides the delicious emotion
without which every kind Of hunting
Is tame and insipid. Moreover, the OBJ
legation under which the leader Of the
expedition lies to feed his servants and
carriers adequately makes one of these
enormous beasts. twelve feet long or
so and disproportionately wide, a per
feet godsend. Not only does the hippo
potamus furnish a formidable amount
OF meat. but that meat has the ines
timable merit Of keeping fresh much
longer than any other, principally ow-
ing to the fact that dies seem to have
an insurmOuntable horror Of It, /
must admit that for a long time l
thoroughly sympathiZed with the flies.
Alive, the hippopOtamus has a peculiar
Odor, somewhat resembling musk.
