The fact Is, old boy the stuff is so

Sugar frauds Prosecution
Case Almost Complete.
MAY NOT GALL ". B. THOMAS
Oliver Splitter Tells How He Was
Drawn Into False Weighing--Want-
to Hold His Job" - Explains
His Desire to Confess.

New York, May 26.-Before the Unit.
ed States district court adjourns this
afternoon it is expected that the gov
ernment will complete the case of the
prosecution in the sugar frauds case.
1t is now believed improbable that
Washington b. Thomas. the new pres
ident of the American Sugar Refining
company, will be called to the witness
stand. Since Oliver Spitzer the par
doned sugar frauds convict and for
mer dock superintendent, made his
confession Mr.. Thomas has attended
the trial and watched the proceedings
with evident anxious interest.
Charles r. Heike secretary of the
sugar trust, now on trial with five
subordinateS on the charge of having
swindled the government out of mil.
lions of dollars by the fraudulent
weighing of imported sugar, will take
the stand in his own defense.
simultaneously with the announce.
ment that the prosecution will close
today came the report yesterday that
the federal grand jury may hand down
today other indictments against more
men higher up in the trust.
Splitter, explaining the manner in
which he drifted into crime, denied
that "men higher up" had instructed
him to make false reports ON the
weight of sugar. He intimated that he
w.ls merely moved by mean desire
to do something to hold his job
81 was just big fool, about the big
gest kind of fool" he said. There
was no man higher up as far as was
concerned. If any of the big bugs in
. the sugar company knew what was
going on they were too slick 10 say so
to us and much too smooth and too
wise ever to order us to do any cheat
ing. We did what we did because we
wanted to hold our jobs"
Concerning his desire to confess he
said:
Il came from Atlanta without any
hope of a pardon. l left my effects in
Atlanta. | came here to unburden my
self of the great wrongs l had done all
these years. | wanted to confess all
my sins before this court and tell what
| knew. | wanted to stand among my
fellow men once more and tell all
should tave told before.
Il wanted to go back to my family.
| wanted to be shriven of all that can
kered me those sleepless nights in At
lanta prison, where l suffered so much.
| couldn't stand it any longer.
Il told Captain Flynn of the secret
service in Atlanta that l couldn't
stand the torture: that l must tell the
truth, and l wouldn't have been behind
those bars If had taken the advice of
my lawyers. Mr.. Mackeller and Mr..
COchrane. They told me to confess if
| had anything to confess after my
conviction last February. They told
me to confess before it was too late"

STATE kUAD LAW
is UNCONSTITUTIONAL

At the election in February several
townships in different counties voted
in favor of substituting a work tax
for cash road tax, in accordance
with provision of the road law pass
ed in 1909.
A test case on the question of the
constitutionality of the law has just
been decided in Center county. Ac-
cording to the decision handed down
by Judge Orvis of that county all road
tax must be paid in cash, and cleo
tors of borough or township do not
have the right to vote on the ques-
ton of paying portion of their road
tax in labor instead of cash. His
opinion was prompted by an appeal
from a township where a majority of
the voters favored working out part
of their road taxes.
Judge Orvis cited as reasons that
there was nothing in the text relat
ing to the provision for taxpayers to
vote on the question OF work tax
or a cash tax, and that there was
nothing in the provision as to what
per cent. of the tax should be paid
in cash and what per cent. worked
out That it was in conflict with the
special law of 1905 and the general
law of 1887 and hence would cause
no end of confusion if it were con-
stitutional.
The ruling affects part of an
amendment adopted by the Legisla-
ture in 1909 to the general road law.
1t gave to voters of townships and
bOroughs the right to decide by bal
lot whether or not rs per cent. of
their road tax should be paid in labor
on the roads or streets. 1t is this
section which Judge Orvis holds as
unconstitutional, The decision, of
course, affects all boroughs and town
ships in the State.

DELANEY JOINS JOHNSON.
Jeffries' Old Manager Enters Negro
Champions Camp.

San Francisco, May 26.-Joy reigns
in the Johnson camp as a result of the
announcement that Billy Delaney, vet
eran maker of heavyweight champi-
ons, is TO coach the negro for his fight
with Jeffries. Johnson himself Is high
ly elated. He figures that Delaney is
the best man in the business to pre-
pare him for the crucial battle of his
career. This belief is based on the
fact that not only can Delaney give
him the fruits of forty years of ring
experience, but that the veteran, who
developed Jeffries, knows more about
the retired champion than anybody
else and will be able to give johnson
many pointers about Jeffries' style OF
fighting.
