The Gilberts must be content with
the limited orthograph. Gilbert is
perhaps the only variation at the pres

ton, from gid or gold, and bert mean

a mineral, bright as gold, called gil
berthe.
Another theory advanced has to do
with a Norman derivation, and ac.
cording to this, the family of Gilbert
was introduced into Great Britain

The board of control today is sending

commit any patients to this institution
for the present. The hospital is crowded
and in order to make room for any more
it would be necessary to remove some Of
the chronic patients to county institu-

been exposed at Mendoza to other hos
pitfalls, might precipitate a widespread

WICKERSHAM IN DENIAL
SAYS HE NEVER WAS COUNSEL FOR
THE SUGAR TRUST.
Partner at One Time Retained in Single
Lawsuit-Answers Representa-
tive Martin

WASHINGTON, d. c., March %
Attorney General Wickersham sent to
Representative Bennett of New York
Monday a fat denial that he ever was at
torney for the sugar trust, as charged
by Representative Martin of Colorado,
who last week attacked the attorney gen
eral in the House for approving the sale
Of $4,000 acres of Philippine lands to the
Havemeyers.
Il never was attorney for the sugar
trust-by which l understand is meant
the American Sugar Refining company
and its allied or subsidiary corporations
nor have | had any professional or
business relations with it. The only
possible foundation for such a state
ment lies in the fact that one of my
partners was, some three years ago, re-
tanned as one OF the counsel for the
American Sugar Refining company in
single suit brought against it, and,
pursuant to such retainer, he assisted in
the defense of the company in that
action and on an appeal; but in that
lawsuit L was neither consulted nor did
| render service"
| The partner referred to by Mr. Wicker
sham is Henry w. Taft, the President 8
brother, and in the case the attorney
general had in mind was the suit brought
three years ago by the Pennsylvania
Sugar company against the American
Sugar Refining company, in which con-
spiracy was charged against the New
York concern. The American Sugar
Refining company made a settlement out
of court, paying over to the Pennsyl-
varia company the sum of 100000.
The nsaction by which the sugar
trust was enabled to acquire approx
mately $4,000 acres of friar lands was
made possible, Representative Martin
charged, under the terms of an opinion
rendered by the attorney general. This
opinion, Mr.. Martin alleged, was con-
trary to the law governing the case.
