SCALES
SH0WN|N COURT
METHODS USED in DEFRAUDING
GOVERNMENT IN SUGAR
SCANDAL EXPLAINED.

New York, May 20-There was
wheeled into the criminal branch OF
the United States circuit court yester-
day afternoon huge scale, an exact
duplicate of the scales used on the
docks Of the American Sugar Refining
company in Brooklyn. And while the
twelve jurors bent forward tensely, a
weight of 997 pounds was placed
thereon.
Then steel wire was thrust In a
hole drilled in the stanchion, and the
result was noted. The scales, though
accurate, registered only 9S8 pounds
nine pounds short.
Is First Court Test.
This was the governments first
practical demonstration before the
Jury Of how the sugar trust is alleged
to have cheated the treasury depart
ment out of thousands of dollars
in duty. Proving this, the prosecu-
tion hopes to convict Charles R.
Heike, secretary Of the company, and
four former employees, and send them
to the federal penitentiary at Atlanta
as guilty of conspiracy to defraud.
Albert Lambert, machinery expert
in the employ Of the postoffice depart
ment, acted as demonstrator of the
model scales. The weight-997 pounds
lis the approximate weight OF draft
of three bags of sugar as handled on
the docks.
Concluding his tests, Lambert took
the witness stand and told how he
had examined all sixteen scales OF the
company on the docks, how he had
found holes in all Of the stanchions
and how each yielded to the pressure
Of a steel spring just as he had
shown the jury. The trick, as he
demonstrated, could be worked with
no outward Indications; the beam of
the scale moved apparently free, but
always when the wire was inserted
there was the shrinkage in weight.

Chicago, May 2O.-Passage of the
earth through the tail Of Halley's com
et-scheduled by astronomers to re-
quire five hours time. but which cal
culations were turned topsy turvy by
observations yesterday probably was
completed last night
That the earth entered the tail some
time after the beginning Of the transit
Of the comet head across the suns
disk Wednesday night. continued on
its way through the tail all, raxt. Gay,
and probably is well out today on tho
further side, is the opinion Of the as
tronomers at the great observatory at
Williams bay.
Instead Of requiring five hours IL
which to traverse the tail OF the comet
thirty hours, and possibly more were
needed.
Curvature Of the tail is given by the
astronomers as responsible for the
series of surprises as the terrestrial
visitor swung close to the sun ana
then departed on its pourney to outer
space. Bewildered at first over the un-
usual phenomenon, after mature cons
sideration other similar instancea
were recalled, and the freakish con-
duct on the part Of Halley's sky tramp
was said by the astronomers to have
had frequent duplicates in the astron-
omical history Of past years.
Other Comets Do Likewise.
"It will be remembered that the
Moorehouse comet in 1908 behaved in
much the same manner" said Prof.
Phillip Fox Of the Dearborn observa-
tory. In two days 1t switched tne
angle Of it's tail from one position 45
degrees away, This has been true Of
other comets. Why the tails change
their direction thus has not been ex-
planned fully, but it is generally seen
to be true when the comets are ap-
preaching either the earth or the sun.
"It is not a case of misbehavior on
the part of the comet, said Prof. Elias
Colbert. "The tail lags behind IN
such way that 1t is impossible to tell
in advance Just when the earth would
go through it. The comet, on the other
side, is hazy, and this uncertainty OF
outline makes calculations impossibles
eve took the word OF German and
English astronomers for the houS
when the earth would go through the
tail Of the comet. They made their
observations and calculations soma
weeks ago, which was too early. ! bea
lieve if we had based our figures on
observations made night or two ago
we would not have had the same re-
suits as were given out. If. instead OF
being curved. the tail was straight
should have been mildly astonished at
our great miscalculations."

Case.

Kansas City, May 2O.-The attor-
neys for DR.. Hyde have filed a motion
for a new trial. The arguments will

than that touching directly upon the
death Of Colonel Thomas H. Swope
should not have been admitted; that
the Jurors were moved more by pas
sion and prejudice than by reflection
and the testimony; that the court
should have forced the state to give
the defense the letters between the
prosecution and it's scientists; yhat in
competent evidence was idmitSed and
competent evidence was barred.

ROOSEVELT TO
Be WELCOMED
PARTIAL PROGRAM FOR DIS.
TINGUlSHED AMERICANS
HOMECOMING.

New York. May 20.--At meeting of
the executive committee of the Roose-
welt reception committee some changes
were decided upon concerning the re-
ception of Colonel Roosevelt June 18.
These changes were made necessary
because of the enormous number of
requests received from throughout the
country asking for positions in the
parade.
At the close Of the meeting the fol-
lowing joint statement was issued by
Carnelius Vanderbilt, chairman Of the
executive committee, and Judge Ell
bert H. Gary:
Will Not Have Parade.
TN view Of the great number of re-
quests from various organizations and
distinguished representatives through
out the country to join in a land pro-
cession of some kind, the committee
has concluded it would be imprac-
ticable to accommodate them all and
has therefore decided to eliminate that
portion of the original program which
was provided for a general land
parade, and instead to give such rep
resentatives positions along Fifth ave-
nue. from which they will have ample
opportunity to see ex-President Roose-
welt as he passes up the avenue ac-
companied by his escort.
"The reception will be national in
it's character and entirely free from
questions relating to politics, creed or
race.
"The mayors committee Of 300 will
assemble at the Battery at not later
than o'clock in the morning and pro-
ceed on revenue cutter to quarantine
where the ex-president will leave the
steamship for revenue cutter, which
will head a line Of boats to be assigned
to their respective positions.
Gaynor to Make Address.
A naval procession will pass up
North river on the west side to a point
then. circle towards New York; and
will go down the east side Of the river
and land at the Battery about II
o'clock.
A reception stand will be erected at
Pier A at Battery park, at which point
the ex-president will be met by Mayor
Gaynor who will deliver the address
Of welcome; and it is hoped that the
ex-president will respond. After these
exercises the distinguished guest and
his escort will proceed up Broadway
and into Washington square and
thence up Fifth avenue to Fifty Ninth

CHARITIES AND CORRECTION
MEETING.

ST.. Louis, May 20.-Verba1 reports
from delegates of each state were
made at the general session of the Ma.
tional Conference of Charities and
| Correction today. There were sixteen
speakers on the program today.
Jane Adams, Of Hull house, Chica
go, president of the conference, de-
livered her annual address last night
The conference will continue in ses-
sion, concluding May rs.
Iowan Addresses Conference.
The tendency of many states to dis
continue the old fashioned trial by
jury in open court of insane persons,
and the substitution Of private trial by
courts or administrative officers and
commissions, was emphasized and ap-
proved in the report Of the committee
on Supervision and Administration
of the National Conference of Chari-
ties and Correction, by it's chairman,
Clifford S. Robinson Of Des Moines,
Iowa. The growth and development OF
psychopathic hospitals for the obser-
walton and treatment Of early cases
of insanity which might be cured in a
comparatively short time was given as
one Of the compelling reasons for this
change in practice in commitment pro-
ceedings.
After presenting an exhaustive re-
view Of the findings Of courts in many
states, and after carefully analyzing
those findings, the report said:
"The conclusions to be drawn may
be summarized as follows:
~ The federal constitution does not
require that examinations for the
commitment Of persons alleged to
be insane shall be in open court
or with Jury.
(2) AS a rule, such examinations
may be made by commission, saw
ing to the person accused of in
sanity, the right to formal pro-
ceeding in court or a trial by jury.
ca An insane person may be taken
into custody without legal pro-
cess but only temporarily, for
the purpose of protecting the pub.
lie and the patient, and securing
for him the care he needs. II
more than temporary restriction
be needed such proceedings must
be had within reasonable time,
fas shall constitute due process of
law, within the meaning of the
Fourteenth Amendment to JUS
tify further restraint.
(4) Provision may be made for the
temporary detention and obser-
walton Of person suffering from
mental disturbances without q
formal hearing in court or trial
by Jury, even in states, the con-
stitutions of which guarantee such
hearings or trial. The length Of
justifiable detention will depend
upon the condition Of the patient
and must not exceed a reasonable
limit.
