is no reason why a statute regulating

PIANO AND GRAGHoPHONE
ARE SPLENDID INSTRUMENTS

The Henry & S. G. Lindeman baby
grand piono which The Herald is to
give as one of the prizes in its contest
is one of the finest instruments in the
very complete stock of the Fitzgerald
Music company, from whom the piano
was purchased. 1t is perfect in every
detail. In construction, in tone, in
finsh-in all points that appeal to the
most eXacting musical critic. The
stock of the Fitzgerald Music COM
pany is the largest and most complete
piano stock carried by any firm in the
southwest. 1t comprises every style
and variety of piano, from the smallest
bungalow upright to the largest con-
cert grand, so it will be readily seen
that The Herald was not limited in
making choice of the handsome piano
which they have selected. 1t may be
seen that The Herald was not limited

will convince any one that it is a prize
worthy of the greatest effort to win.

tion of a musical instrument. This
graphophone combines simplicity with
musical efficiency, and is one of the
most satisfactory instrumnets of its
kind on the market today. No one

ST|MSON BARES
TRUST SECRETS
Reads Letters in Court Showing
Sugar officials knowledge
of Weight Fraud

NEW YORK, May 26.-Charles H.
Heike, in the federal court this after
noon, heard Henry l. Stimson, for the
government, slowly read letters in
which Heike spoke of the liberal
weights we receive from the custom
house."
AS secretary and treasurer of the
American Sugar Refining company, the
so-called sugar trust, Heike is charged
with conspiracy to defraud the govern
ment of customs duties on imports OF
raw sugar.
Counsel for Heike fought bitterly to
bar the letters, but Judge Martin over
ruled the objections and they became
part of the record.
The first was dated December "a,
1904 and addressed to Frank G. Turn
er, superintendent of the South Bos-
ton refinery. In it the writer says:
"These customs house weights are
generally taken as a basis for the
MEETINGS. To charge the MEETINGS on
the proper basis, we have adopted
system"
The system was introduced unexpect-
edly by the government and was read
from Heike's private letter book, which
was identified in court by William Fos-
ter, auditor in the company's Wall
street office
Other letters considered less signifi-
cant by the prosecution, were read:
During the afternoon session William
A. Bryon, clerk in Heike's office, tes-
tilted in March, 1909 he destroyed a
package marked Technical state
ments, 1906' at Heike's direction. This
was four days after the termination
of the government suit for the recovery
of some $2,00O,0OO in duties from the
company.
Arthur P. Wallin, clerk in the au-
diting department, also testified he de-
stroyed some technical statements" at
Heike's request.
