APPEAL Of SUGAR TRUST.
States Supreme Court and De-
nands 'sInsmunity Bath

Washington. May Fighting for
the preservation Of the Immunity
BATH the American Sugar Refining
company today appealed to the su-
preme court of the United States for
protection against the government.
The controversy arises from an inves-
tigstion by a federal grand jury OF
New York.
The jury desired to examine two
specified books of the corporation. In
stead OF issuing a subpoena TO the sec
rotary of the corporation or other Off
ciai requiring him to appear with
those books, United States Attorney
Wise procured a subpoena from Judge
Holt directed to the corporation itself
An attempt was made by the cor
poradon TO have Judge Lacombe quash
the subpoena. He declined, and when
the corporation failed to comply, fined
IL $500 for contempt
Judge Lacombe said the procedure
was no doubt a wholly novel practice.
He added that it seemed to be q log
5cal outcome of the distinction that
corporations, unlike individuals. We're
not protected by the fifth amendment
10 the constitution. which provided
that no persons shall be compelled in
any criminal case to be a witness
against himself.
Judge Lacombe said he was not pre-
pared to assent TO the proposition that
the officer producing the books is en-
titled 10 volunteer testimony as TO
what the books contain, nor was the
judge impressed With the argument
that the corporation could not physi-
cally produce the books

TRYING OUT NEW THEORY
Three Young New York Society Women
Fasting for Purpose of Improving
Their Health.

New York May 11-Three young New
York society women who are fasting to
improve their health are apparently
succeeding. At Garden City, L. J., the
fast started Monday, the trio being
Mrs Keith Trask. Miss Marion Mackel-
lar and Miss Anne Townsend. All We're
in excellent condition 10 start with
seasoned by life of much riding and
golf and healthful outdoor exercise. 1t
was just a general bracing up they
wanted and they determined 70 test the
theory lately so much exploited that
fasting fortifies the system against
most bodily Ills.
So far the most pronounced results OF
their fast is whitening OF the tongue,
which is subject to frequent inspection
before a mirror.
The weights Of the young women at
the beginning of the test were: Miss
Ma c1ellar, 102 pounds, Miss Townsend,
IL, and Mrs. Trask, 125.
Plenty of water to drink has been all
they have allowed themselves since the
fast started. All Of them insist that the
fast so far has been beneficial.

MYSTERY OF DOUBLE
MURDER MAY BE SOLVED

New York, May 11.-There was an air
of expectancy about police headquarters
today which seemed to preSage an
nOuncement of an important discovery
in the double murder uncovered Mon
day, when William Benam, the young
Hindu butler, and Margaret Mechenv,
the aged housekeeper of DR.. Mott D.
Cannon. a well-known physician. We're
found shot to death in the doctors resi-
dence in West lend street.
\ blood-stained piece of linen with
finger prints on il and German news
paper in which Jimmy or iron bar had
been wrapped, are the only tangible
clues the detectives have to work on.
Captain Kuehne of the Harlem detective
bureau is quoted as relating that ne
looked for an arrest to be made today.
Some of the experts incline to the
theory that Hindu vengeance was be-
hind the crime. Little is known about
Benam- He is said to have been a Ben
gall and a convert to Christianity.
