Startling Expose of Methods Of
Sugar Trust
Fortune Of $1O,OOO,OOO Made

Another Committee Hears More
Of Customs Frauds

washington, June 19.-With separate
committees of the house delving into
the history and operations of the
American Sugar Refining Co., and
other sugar corporations, there were
brought out today surprising tales Of
riches made over night and sordid
stories of alleged frauds against the
government.
The special sugar trust investigat-
ing committee continued it's inquiry in
to the formation and workings of the
big sugar corporations having before
it as witness James H. Post, presi-
dent Of the National Sugar Refining
Co. Of New Jersey.
The committees on expenditures in
the treasury department began work
on another angle of the investigation
that of recent weighing frauds at the
port of New York, questioning Oliver
Splitter, one OF the American dock
superintendents, who was convicted
and later pardoned by the president.
Post told how II. o. Havemeyer had
been rewarded for forming the Nation
al Sugar Refining Co. of New Jersey
by stock in the refinery worth 100000
OOO stock which since had earned divi-
dends of $2,500,000 more
Post insisted that the S10,0O0,000 die
not represent only the promoters pro-
fits. Pressed for some explanation OF

together
Asked how Havemeyer got posses
sion of the stock, the witness laeonical.
ly replied:
II sent it to him few days after
received it,"
Splitter told the committee on ex-
penditures in the treasury department
the entire history Of the sugar weigh
ing frauds, describing dishonest weigh
ing schemes employed on the sugar
docks as far back as 1885.

morning Judge Barnett piled ques-
tons at Jones which introduced some
startling testimony, mainly that Of his
being an eye witness to the alleged
murder.
Jones stated TO the court that he
had been in the house of Newman with
Conklin for about two hours when
Newman entered. AS the defendant
came into the house he began looking
around the room and finally went over
behind a door where he pulled down
an old gun, forty -four, from its rest

of Jones. who was in the room, New

few moments afterwards.
Newman did not utter a sound nor
make any show or demonstration, not
as much as even saying a word.
In his testimony Jones stated that
he then took Newman over to the
house OF Newmans father, about fifty
yards away, where he placed Newman
on bed. Shortly afterwards Newman
left the house and started out across
the county without a coat or hat. He
was not seen for some hours later
Attorney Lowell cross examined for
some time this afternoon and piled the
chief witness of the prosecution with
questions. However the testimony Of
Jones was shaken very little from the
cross examination ana 1t is believed
that his evidence Will have a great
deal to do with determining what the
jury win do.
With the introduction OF such tes-
timony as Jones offered, 1t is now un-

BIackened Bones From the Maine

Havana, June 20-The first human
parts to be recovered from the wreck
Of the battleship Maine were discov-

moving mud and debris from. the spar
deck just forward from the after
superstructure discovered the black
er1ed and coral encrusted bones of
left forearm and right foot.
The bones were taken in charge by
an undertaken and placed in recep-
tacle. Of course, there is nothing 20
suggest Identification, but it is hoped
that this may be established by the
subsequent discovery Of other objects
in the immediate vicinity.
The water in the cofferdam enclos-
ing the wreck had been lowered 13
feet below normal last night, reveal
ing considerable more of the craft, es-
pecially amidships.
A superficial examination Of the
most recently uncovered portions has
tended somewhat to revive the hope
that it will prove possible to float the
after-half or fore-reef.
The total number killed in the ex-
plosion which destroyed the Maine
was two officers and $50 men.
The bodies Of one officer and Of 191
men were recovered. Sixty bodies
were not found. The bones Of many
Of these are supposed to be still in
