SENTENCES HEIKE
FOR SUGAR FRAUD

retary to BIaCkWeITs Island
for Eight Months
A FINE OF $4,000 IS IMPOSED

Scandal Caused by Under
weighing Of Cargoes
A FINE OF $4,000 is IMPOSED
.CAssociated Pressl

NEW YORK, Sept. 19.-Charles r.
Heike, former secretary and treasurer
of the American Sugar Refining COM
pany, who has been called the "man
higher up in the sugar trust, was
sentenced today by Judge Martin in
the United States circuit court to serve
eight months in the New York peni-
tentiary on Blackwell's island and pay
a fine of $4,000, on conviction of having
conspired to defraud the United States
government by underweighing OF
sugar.
In imposing sentence Judge Martin
said that as Heike had been convicted
on only one count of the indictment
charging him with aiding the conspir-
acy. instead of all six counts, as the
other defendants had been, and taking
Heike's age (66 years. and his accus-
toned mode of life into consideration,
he would be inclined to suspend SEN
tence altogether But as punishment
must be inflicted as an example, he
could not follow his personal 1ncl1na-
tion, Judge Martin added, ana ne
therefore added the eight months
prison sentence to the $4,000 fine.
Judge Martin granted stay of exc
cution of the sentence pending an ap-
peal to the United States circuit court
of appeals The court also reduced
Heike's ball. which had been S25,OOO,
pending sentence since his CONVICTION
last June. to $15,00O
CONSPIRACY BY WEIGHERs
Heike's sentence is the eliminating
point in the federal governments pros
ecution of American Sugar Refining
company officials and employees, grow
ing out of the extensive underwe1gh-
ing frauds on the Williamsburg docks
of the trust, brought to light by Rich
ard PARIS famous raid on the docks
in 1907. Four weighers of the com
pany and Oliver Spitzer, their dock
boss. were convicted in the first GRIM
inal trial in connection with the frauds
and the weighers are still serving out
their sentence of a year In the Black
wells island penitentiary.
Splitter, who was sentenced to two
years in the Atlanta penitentiary, was
pardoned during the trial of Heike,
Ernest w. Gerbracht the refinery su-
perintendent and four minor employees
Of the company, for conspiracy. He
turned states evidence and his testl-
mony played an important part in, the
conviction of Heike, Gerbracht and
the checkers.
IMMUNITY PLEA FAILS
The sugar company, meanwhile, had
returned to the government more than
50, 600, 900 out of which, it was shown,
the customs had been defrauded by
the underweighing operations. Heike' s
case was a long time coming to trial.
as he first pleaded immunity because
of the testimony which he had given
before the federal grand jury in an
other sugar company proceeding. HIS
plea was overruled by the supreme
court of the United States. Gerbracht
was sentenced last week to two years
in the Atlanta penitentiary and to pay
a fine of $4,000, but was allowed stay
pending appeal.

element of the British upper mouse lot
Centuries The occasion of the 1atel VI

resolution dealing with the reform Oh
the house
The mouse had agreed that reform
and reconstruction was necessary. The
complementary resolution Which was
nassed bv the lords was that nee
essary preliminary TO such reform ana
reconstruction is acceptance of the prin-

should no longer of itself give the right
to sit and vote in the house of lords
1t is significant that fewer than 200
Of the SIS members of the house of
lords shared in the fatal division. Many
CT the absentees were reluctant to sane
ton the extinction of the heredity prin-
ciple Nevertheless they so far recog-
nized its expectancy as not TO oppose 1t.
Not a few, indeed, of the majority
who supported the resolution would fain
have retained their heritage right but
recognition of that expediency guided
their votes. The resolution might have
been carried unanimously but for the
resolute pugnacity Of two tenacious old

has been actively identified for many
years with volunteer soldering and
with the national rifle association and

that often statesmen from Ell Paso

In speaking of conditions elsewhere
Mr.. Bernard referred to Paris as the
