GIRL ASSA|LANTS
Of STOKES HELD
FOR GRAND JURY
New York Magistrate Re-
fuses to Dismiss Attempt
ed Murder Charge.

NEW YORK, July lion a charge
of attempted murder. Lillian Graham
and Ethel Conrad were today held for
the grand jury by Magistrate Freschi
in the Tombs police court. He fixed
bail at 5000 each. In his opinion,
Freschi stated that the story of the
shooting told by w. E. D. Stokes. mil
lionaire hotel proprietor and clubman,
had not been contradicted, and that he
could do nothing but bind the girls
over. He declared also that the theft
Of the Stokes letters from the fat oc-
cupied by the two girls would be care
fully investigated.
The defense scored heavily today just
before the police court examination was
concluded. A. H. Gleason. attorney for
Stokes, was on the stand, and he had
related a circumstantial story of the
alleged finding of the letters written
by Stokes to Lillian Graham by Private
Detective Cummings. The detective, he
had said, picked up the letters from
behind a trunk and handed them to
him. After examining them Gleason told
him to slip them in his pocket That
night they were turned over TO him, and
he had copies made, after which the
letters were sent to the district attor-
ney's office.
Isn't it a fact that Immediately after
the shooting Stokes sent for you and
told you that there were some very
valuable papers in that fat, and that
he wanted you to go there and get
them before the girls could secure
their release and hide them?" demanded
counsel for the pair.
Gleason finally admitted that he had
such a conversation with Stokes, but
insisted that he had not planted the
letters, in the apartment fer Cummings

House Democrats Ready
For Tariff Compromise

House Democrats stand ready tc
abandon for the time being, the effort
to revise the cotton schedule, providing
the Senate does not insist on going
ahead with general revision. 1t was
learned today that the cotton bill will
not come from the Ways and Means
Committee for ten days or two weeks.
The Ways and Means Democrats are
not specially anxious to press it,
If the Senate would show a positive
disposition to get away early, say about
August l. the House Democrats would
let the cotton schedule go over until
next winter.
A vote on the wool bill and the free
list bill will be insisted on in the Sen
ate, but it is still a doubtful question
whether the insurgents and Democrats
will be able to harmonic their. views
sufficiently to pass them.

REBATE RECORD Of
THE SUGAR TRUST
GETS AIRING HERE
House Committee Questions
Traffic Manager of Re-
fning Company.

How the American Sugar Refining
Company got mixed up in rebating and
was fined in the United States courts
in New York, and how these same re-
batting charges killed Pomeroy and
Guilford, of the New York Central"
was told by Robert NJ. Parker, traffic
manager of the American SHSar Refin-
ing Company, before the Hardwick
Trust Committee when IL re-convened
today.
Does your company not get any ad
vantage of freight rates over other
sugar companies?" asked Hardwick.
No. If found we were getting a
lower rate, I'd tell the railroad to give
that rate to everybody
Then you don't want any conces-
sions from the RAILROADS.&C.
Il don't want to go to jail"
The committee today permitted the
filing of ali affidavit of Gustav +. Kis-
sci, now dead. regarding the transaction
whereby kissel made a lean for the
American Sugar Refining Company to
Adolph Segal, Of Philadelphia. of the
Pennsylvania Sugar Refining Company
Kissels affidavit asserts the late II. o.
Haveneyer insisted the loan bc made to
ScGal in kIsseTs name. and that neither
Havemeycr nor the American Sugar
Refining Company should appear in the
transaction. Segal has been a witness
before the committee. After a loan on
his refinery it was never put In opera
tion.
Parker was asked exhaustive ques-
tiUns about freigh: rates on sugar.
He said the American Sugar Refining
Company paid the freight on all its
shipments.
why is that?" asked Hardwick.
ITO control the freight situation"
DO you really control the freight
situation?"
"Oh, no, we only get the best rate
we can. This is the legal rate, the
published tariff. Everybody can get the
same rate. You can't get a railroad to
give a rebate now"

declared Jacobs, for disbursing off,
Ger to have a Government creditor sign
blank voucher or to raise the amount
of a voucher after II had been approved,
collect the full amount, pay the cred
itor the amount due, and pocket the
difference. That was what Waterman
did. Waterman was disbursing officer of
the War Department and he raised a
large umber of vouchers. 1t was never
discovered until a Congressional COM
mittee wanted to review tn eexpendi-
lures for a certain purpose and discov-
cred a voucher for So, which had been
raised to a much larger amount
That was after Yateman's death, and
but for the recollection Of the man to
whom the money was paid II would
never have been discovered. They then
went through Yateman's vouchers and
discovered a great number in which the
sum had been erased and a larger sum
substituted"
Under the present system, Jacobs de-
clared, no such procedure is possible.
He outlined at great length the checks
and balances against accounting Off

bookkeeping arrangements.

HEALTHY
MOTHERS

Women who bear children and
remain healthy are those who pre-
pare their systems in advance of
baby's coming. Unless the mother
aids nature in its prenatal work the
crisis finds her system unequal to
the demands made upon it, and she
is often left with weakened health
or chronic ailments. No remedy
is so truly a help to nature as
Mothers Friend, and no expectant
mother should fail to use it. 1t
