-Heike's name was signed to a report
Of the board of directors which was
made last Wednesday to the stock
Holders of the corporation, a report
which contained this statement:
DiscIaimed All Guilt.
X"No attempt whatever has been made
to shield any one. Your board has no
reason to believe and does not believe
that any executive officer or director
Of this company had any knowledge of
or participation in this fraudulent I'M

The grand jury finds that Secretary

Eft also finds that Heike endorsed sew

ter of fact, the checks represented a
gain to the sugar trust in duties stolen
by underweights.

BENSON. special counsel employed by
the government, have been working up
Secretary Heike's case for months, but
itswas only recently they obtained evi-
dence which warranted them going be
fore the grand jury
ssSomething concerning Heike's knowl-
edge of the striking discrepancies be-
tween the invoice weights and the
weights obtained by tampering with
g0vernment scales and by other shady
tricks was brought out last year in the

trust to recover the stolen duties.
20. H O. Schneider, who had been
confidential clerk to Henry o. Have
meyer, testified that Mr.. Hayemeyer
on one occasion asked him to make
out a list showing the difference in
two weighers' weights, and that he
did so, but that Havemeyer never ask
ed afterward to see them.
Implicated by Schneider.
sSchmelter testified he spoke to Heike
about the comparison OF weights, tell
ing Heilze what they were. and the latter
said Schneider had better go on max
ing them. Thereafter, at the end Of
each year, Schneider tabulated the dis
crepancies. and Heike made brief ex-
animation of them.

Federal Action Framing Against the
BurIey Tobacco Society.


Cincinnati, Jan. 15.-President
Taft is determined that law and or

belt of Kentucky where murderous
bands of night riders have been for
years destroying farming property

numerous tobacco growers who de-
clined to enter the farmers pool,
namely, the Burley Tobacco society.
Evidence has been gathered through
a secret investigation ordered by At

reported here that the first move will
be a bill in equity demanding the
dissolution of the Burley tobacco

antitrust law.

that Nicola instigated this move on
the part of Stewart.

ed any payments for any purpose what

nothing. Once / pitched a winning
game and was paid two pitchers un-

to pitch baseball professionally and
accepted 1t. Several fellows from the
university team had made good in the
major leagues and they boosted" me.
The result was / jumped right into
the major league and began to forget
my other profession.
1 never have regretted 1t. I have

to and lot of pleasant memories to

OTTO HESS is SUCCESSFUL
Delivery of Leading Pitcher In South
ern League Deceptive to Eaters
Has Fine Control.

Otto Hess Is the most successful
twirler in the Southern league this
season. In fact, there are several rea
sons for the Dutchman's wonderful
success, reasons known to the bali
players and to the fans and to nearly
every one.
The main reason of his wonderful
success is his fine control. Otto has
been singing them across the plate
this year with reckless abandon. He
has been walking very few men for a
ieft-hander and this has had lot to
do with the majority Of winnings that
he has accumulated.
But there is one reason, known only
to the ball players, to which his big
success can be attributed. Hess, as
every fan who has seen him in action
knows, is no small man by any means,
In fact, he is a six-footer, and this has
aided him greatly In foolfng the bat
ter.
To use the expression of the ball
players, they have been Swinging at
his motion" Probably the fans don't
realize what this means, Hess height
is an answer to the question, though
a meager one. To be explicit, Hess
is SO tall that when he winds up to
deliver the ball, the batters have be.
come accustomed to catching this mo.
ton and not the bail when it is de.
livered.

CONVICT WHO ARE IN
PARTNERSHIP.
BOXING MIXED With BIBLE
Game Is to Get Toughs In to See a
Match on the Square, Then the
Preacher Pelts Them With Gospel
Truths-scheme Is Successful.

London.-While the worlds pu1pits
have been ringing with denunciation
OF the Johnson-Jeffries fight, a South
side London parson has been blending
p1ety with pugilism. Everybody in
London has heard of Rev. "Tom" Col
lings and his muscular Christianity.
But many stafd members of the ultra
respectable Church of England were
shocked to their depths when he went
into partnership with an ex-convict in
boxing saloon and chose for his es-
adjustment the disused chapel Of the
famous preacher, Rowland Hill.
Rowland Hill built his chapel in a
complete circle, in order, as he said,
that the devil should not have cor
ner in 1t" For long while it was a
noted center of religious activity.
Today the district just south of
Blackfriars bridge, spanning the
Thames. within sight of st. Paul's ca
thedral, is the abode of the tough ele-
ment, redolent of fried fish, stale beer,
vttriolic whisky and variegated speech.
Only man who could combine phys
tcal force with moral suasion could
shepherd flock like that. Hence the
reelection of tom" Ceilings as local
parson.
Before long his influence began to
be felt. Also the fame of his fist
spread round and inspired respect; for

taken In hand by the new cleric, de-

had the distinction of being the best
utility man living, but he wanted to be
IN the game all the time, and yet
Cnance wouldn't put him there.
Chance maintained that Rabbit SIagle,
with his ability to negotiate bases on
balls as well as timely hits, would be
the goods for the regular center field
er. But after slagle passed and Hof-
man took up the regular work in CEN
ter 1t was evident that he ought to
have been there long before. He hit
harder than Slagle, he made more
runs, he covered much more ground
with his long strides, and his throwing
arm was infinitely Better. In short,
the Cubs had been keeping star bats
man and magical fielder In utility roles
for years, and never realized that
they were neglecting an element of
power. Queer how baseball works its
ways, isn't It?

The raisin growers Of Fresno coun'
ty, California; are trying to promote
the consumption of raisins by estab.
fishing ''raisin day." on which all
patriots who believe in patronizing
home enterprise and consuming home
productions are expected to indulge in
raisin cakes and buildings, raisin
bread. etc. The boys and girls will
fall in line for this, and as they are
the best consumers of things sweet, 1t
would seem to be good policy to
awaken the enthusiasm of young eat
ers. Parents are now busy striving
to get enough of things more staple
than raisins, which would be adopted
generally If they could be made to
take the place Of meat, eggs and other
products. Moreover, it is suspected
that If all were to do as the raisin
growers desire there would be boom
in the price as result of the boom in
the demand.
