FAILS TO SAVE HEIKE

New York, Feb. H.-Charles r. Heike.
secretary OF the American Sugar Rein
ing the sugar trust, is not 'im-
mune." He must stand trial beginning
March l next. on indictments charging
him, with other employees of the company.
OF conspiring to defraud the government
by underweighing imports OF sugar.
For weeks past counsel for Heike have
attempted to prove before a jury In the
United States circuit court that Heike
should not be prosecuted in view Of tes-
timoney he gave before the grand jury
which returned the indictments. But In
this they failed for .IIidge Marta. --iea
yesterday afternoon that in the courts
opinion the defendant was not entitled to
immunity and accordingly he instructed
the jury to bring in a formal verdict dis
missing the plea interposed in the secre-
tary's behalf.
In arguing for Immunity, counse for
Heike admitted his guilt. but maintained
that. though guilty, his grand jury testi-
mony was a bar to prosecution. This led
the government lawyers TO resent an
nouncement that IL the plea was not sus-
tanned the government would move for
immediate sentence on the ground for ad-
mission OF guilt. No action was taken
yesterday however. Heike's lawyers
changed the plea to not guilty and time
for trial was fixed.

in each case. The Review will be issued

Roosevelt and the other members
of the Smithsonian African scientific
expedition arrived here today. All are
well.
The entrance into Gondokoro of the
Americans was rudely picturesque n
nothing that British and native hos

the welcome.
The arrival of the expedition in the
outskirts Of the town was heralded
with bugle blasts by Chief keriba's
bugle band, which led the van. Chief
Keriba accompanied his musicians. The

WISCONSIN SENATOR
is INDIANS FRIEND

Washington. Feb. 18.-When Senator
La Toilette came TO Washington he was
known as an ardent opponent OF all
machine methods in politics. He was
placed, among others, on the Indian af-
fairs committee OF the Senate; and
there he presently Gun himself rated
as the political heir to the most dis
tinguished machine statesman of mod
ern times.
La Toilette, for want of something
else to do, took deep interest in all In
dian legislation. Washington is always
full Of Indians when congress Is in ses-
sion: their mission almost universally
is to keep the e~nterprising white man
from stealing something from them. 1t
was not long until the Indians discov-
cred that La Toilette was their friend.
One day a big chief from the southwest
went to the Wisconsin mans office.
Want to see La Toilette" he said to
the secretary.
al right, John; what do you want?"
Me want money. Humph!"
But La Toilette hasn't any money;
he can't do anything for YOU"
"Humph."
You want to go t the treasury"
"Ught'
Now, John, you can't get any money
here. We haven't any. Don't bother
La Toilette about it,
John sat stock still. Finally he spoke:
Quay" he said, quay, he Indians
friend. Quay, he lead now. La Fol-
lette, he just like Quay; he Indians
friend; he not dead; Indian hope him
don't die. dia must see La Fol-
lette."
After three or -four Indians had as
sured him that he was the greatest
statesman since Quay, and the political
heir to the Pennsylvania boss, La Fol-
lette got interested enough to find what
1t all meant. Quay. it developed, was a
member OF an Indian tribe, and had a
trace of Indian blood in his veins. He
was n of the greatest authorities on
Indian lore, languages and legends. He
used to go out west occasionally and
attend Indian war dances, painting up
and dancing rs well as the boldest buck
in the tribe, once he went out alone
into the Florida everglades and settled
an uprising OF the Indians when they
were threatening to "insurge."
And, in all his public dealings, he
was always square with the Indians.
and insistent that the government must
be. He killed more Indian steals than
all the other men who were In con-
gress in his time. His one tender spot
dams.
And that was why the Indians came
to regard La Toilette as his political
heir. You can find a convention of
braves in La Follette's office any time,
because he Is known to them as the
new Chief Quay"
