The NEW SECRETARY OF WAa
Activities and Successes of Henry l..
stiuSson Before the
Courts.

Henry L. stimson first came promi-
nently into the public eve when. as United
States district attorney, he conducted suo-
cessfuily a notable series OF prosecutions
against half a dozen of the big railroad
50 stems for giving rebates to the Sugar
trust. Those prosecutions closely followed
his appointment by President Roosevelt
early in 1so6. After he had twice con-
victed the New York Central before jury,
the Rock Island, the st. Paul and the
Central Vermont all pleaded guilty and
the Great Northern. which held out. met
the same fate as the New York Central
In a Jury trial.
There followed In close succession the
prosecutions of various paper combina-
tions, and the beginning Of the cases
against the American Sugar Refining COM
pany, which resulted in verdicts of guilty
against the trust itself. as well as against
Charles r Hieke, Its treasurer; the SUI
perintendent OF the Hayemeyer & Elder
refinery in williamsburg and various men
under himsc The Sugar trust customs
frauds cases and, other prosecutions for
violations Of the customs laws brought
s. 1853 in fines and back duties into the
United States treasury.
The other big financial case of the Slim
son regime in the United States attorney 8
office was the, prosecution of Charles w.
Morse and his conviction for wrecking the
National Bank OF North America. Mr..
Stimson was still engaged In winding up
the sugar cases when he resigned and
was succeeded by Henry A. Wise, In the
spring of 1903. He continued as special
counsel to the government until the last
Sugar trust defendant was convicted. Then
came period OF the practice of law, in
which he had been engaged from the time
of his graduation from the Harvard Law
school In 1891
When the republican progressives got
control of the Saratoga convention last
summer Theodore Roosevelt made Mr.
Stimson his candidate for governor and
brought about the nomination. which was
followed by his defeat.
Since the first of the year Mr.. Stimson
has delivered several addresses that at.
tracted attention. in which he placed him
self in the progressive wing Of the party
In state affairs he has declared himself
believer In the policies that Governor
Hughes advocated, His most recent pub
lie activity has been as head OF the new
fire prevention bugeau established by the
Citizens Committee OF Safety. This work
was put under way following the Triangle
Shirt company's disaster, and was a volun-
tary service so FAR as Mr. stimson and
the other organizers OF the bureau are
concerned.
