WAS THE JURY FIXED?
Verdict in Rutherford Case Causes
Intimaiion That Grand Jury win
BE Asked to Investigate.

Hot Springs, June prosecuting
Attorney Wood today intimated he
will go before the grand jury and
seek to prove crooked work in the
Rutherford jury which yesterday
returned a verdict of acquittal.
Never in the history of the county
has a jury been so thoroughly con-
demned by the public in general as
has the Rutherford jury.
The states attorney hints that
the jury was fixed and he will seek
TO prove this fact. Some ugly ru-
mors are current anent the work in
the jury chamber while delibera-
tions were being made on verdict,
and these are to be as thoroughly
investigated as was the killing of

WICKERSHAM WAS
WITH BIG TRUSTS
United states Attorney General
Talks Before House Committee OF
His Former Connection With
Steel and Sugar Corporations.

Washington. May 81. - Attorney
General Wickersham was placed on
The grill before the House commit
tee investigating his department to-
day.
Among the admissions made by
Wickersham were that, on several
occasions before his appointment as
attorney general, he had personally
advised the United States Steel cor
poration on legal matters.
Answering further questions, Mr..
Wickersham admitted that his firm
had been counsel for the New York
Cotton Exchange and he said he
thought Henry w. Taft, the vice.
president and also a member of the
firm, was still acting in that ca
pacity.
Mr.. Wickersham admitted that
Henry Taft had once represented
the Sugar trust, and said that the
fee Taft received had been turned
into the law firm and that Wicker
sham had received his share, about
$26, 900.
Representative Beall then de-
manded to know why the depart
ment OF Justice and the treasury
had accepted million dollar set
tlement from the Sugar trust fol-
lowing the New York customs
frauds, instead Of enforcing the PEN
alties provided by law.
Wickersham's explanation was
that his department did not believe
that it had sufficient evidence, al
though he said that the restitution
was made by the Sugar trust, prob
ably because it feared that the PEN
alties would be enforced.
Questioning Mr.. Wickersham fur
Their as to his failure TO collect the
large penalties from the Sugar trust,
Representative Beall asked the at
torney general il the department did
not nave access to all records of the
New York customs house and that
if these were not sufficient to justi-
fly an attempt to enforce the penal
ties.
Il think that 2 million dollar
settlement was the best possible ar
rangement," answered Mr.. Wicker
sham. There was a probability OF
failure to enforce large penalty
Mr.. Wickersham said the govern
ment had not relinquished its right
to criminally prosecute those re-
sponsible for the frauds. In the
Sugar frauds, however, he said thai
only Charles r.. Heike, now under
prosecution, and Henry Havemeyer
now dead, could have had actua

just why the greatest mobiliza-
ton of the American naval

at the end of this month on both

On October 81 and November 1
there will be modified in New

aggregation of fighting ships ever

flag. 102 warships. At the same
time the entire strength of the
Pacific fleet will be assembled at
Los Angeles.
The purpose of this mobilization
almost unprecedented in Amer
lean naval history-is two-fold.
Primarily it is to show the pre-
paredness of the fleet in personnel
and material.
The mobilization was ordered
with the comparatively short no.
tice of less than 80 days. The

ships are scattered, after a year OF
hard work, and many are under
going repairs. Making all ships
ready for this great assembly will
be splendid test of the ability
of the organization to answer re-
quirements which would be i'm
posed upon them in case of emer-
gency.
Secondarily the mobilization is
for the belief of the nation. We
want to bring the navy close to
the people and | want as many
citizens as possible to see the fleet
assembled at it's greatest strength.
1t is due the nation that 1t be
shown, what the navy really is.
