to show the effect of heavy selling.
The pressure, which was directed par
ticularly against United States Steel,
quickly resulted in general set back

dropped 75 points during the morning,
or to 425. The losses were extended
during the second hour. Union Pacific
fell 81 points and Reading 31s points
below their opening prices and United
States Steel dropped to 3 points be.

the Camfield Development company
of Greeley, Colo, in preparation loi
the immediate resumption OF WORK Oh
the big irrigation project on the Las
Vegas land grant, for the conslruo'
tion of which the company was
o,,,orded contract several months
ago. It is asserted that no more ue-
laws will be encountered and that tne
nroiect will be carried to compietlop
as speedily as men and money ana
modern machinery can do the work.
F. B. Gibson, secretary and treas
nrer of the Camfield company, is IN

putting all of his time and energies
in tbe work at hand and expects TO
he able to make some important an
nouncements within the next lew
days.
If is understood that the company
is disposing of all Indebtedness IN
Cured by the sub-contratcor, y. b.
Underwood, in the work that has been
done up to the present time. Inc
Camfield company also is paying such
bills as are owed by it in Las vegas
according to the report. When these
matters have been attended to, the ap-
pointment of F. H. Pierce OF this
city, as trustee and local representative
of the Camfield company is expected
to be announced. Mr.. Pierce Will
have general direction OF the con-
struction work and assume the re-

ing to the contract.
Though work has been delayed on
various occasions though unforeseen
obstacles which have arisen, the Cam
1ield company is not discouraged. IL
is understood it has made arrange
ments to provide plenty of money for
financing the project, new plans hav-
ing been made necessary since work
was begun, due to technicality which
was overlooked by the company when
it first formulated its scheme for car
rying on the work.
Several weeks ago construction
work at the damsite practically was
abandoned, but it has been announced
repeatedly that activities would be re-
sumed. The Camfield company, from
the action now being taken by 1t,
evidently is working in good faith
and will complete the irrigation pro-
iect according to schedule. This will
be good news to every citizen of Las

ATTEMPT TO SECURE coNvIc-
TIoNs TO FOLLOW RECENT
COURT DECISIONS
ADMITS ACCEPTING Big FEE
ATTORNEY GENERAL GOT $4,000
FOR SERVICES RENDERED
AMERICAN SUGAR co.

Washington, May S1.-The recent
decisions of the Supreme Court of the
United States in the Standard Oil and
American Tobacco cases will result in
sweeping attempt to secure criminal
convictions for violations Of the Sher-
man antitrust law. according to At
torney General Wickersham, who ap-
peared today before the house com
mittee on expenditures in the depart
ment of justice investigation.
The attorney general in the course
of his examination before the COM
mittee testified that he had advised
the United States Steel corporation
on several occasions from 1901 to
1909, during his connection with the
law finn of Strong and Cadwaller, and
also that he had received his share
of the fee turned into the firm for
services to the American Sugar Re
filming company, personally attended
to by Henry w. Taft, brother of
the president. Mr.. Wickersham said
his share was about $4,000.
Mr.. Wickersham said that after he
became United States attorney gen
eral, John Henry Hammond repre-
sented Strong and Cadwaller as coun-
sci for the so-cailed Sugar trust in
the purchase of the Friar lands. He
added that at the time he gave his
opinion, permitting the sale of these
lands. he did not know Hammond rep
resented the president of the Ameri-
can Sugar Refining company, Mr.
Havemeyer.
When asked about the connection
CT the firm with United States Steel
affairs, Mr.. Wickersham said:
Il personally have advised the
United States Steel corporation in
one or two matters"
Did Strong and CadwalIer ever
represent the New York Cotton Ex-
changer" asked Chairman Beall.
Yes, Henry w. Taft was counsel
for the Exchange Mr.. Wickersham
replied, and think he still continues
in that capacity.%>
The chairman of the committee
sought particularly to learn of the
attorney general why the department
of justice and the treasury depart
ment accepted two million dollar
settlement from the American Sugar
Refining company as restitution for
undervaluations at the port of New.
York, rather than enforce the severe
penalty provided by the law.
Mr. Wickersham replied that the
department felt the evidence at hand
was not sufficient to support claim
for penalties, though it was his be-
lief that restitution was made be-
cause the corporation feared penal
ties would be imposed.
Then it was your Judgment sug-
gested Mr.. Beall, that notwithstand-
ing that the government had access
to a memorandum book, showing the
real weight of sugar imported and TO
books showing fraudulent weights, if
the government had attempted to col
lect the penalties there would be
strong probability of failure"
Yes" Mr.. Wickersham answered,
Il think the $2.OOO,OOO settlement was
the best possible arrangement"
The attorney general denied that
there was any agreement preventing
criminal prosecution.
'That right" he said, was special
ly reserved by the government"
