OXNARD BROTHERS OF BROOK LIN CLEAN UP $50o.000 IN
 ONE NIGHT.
FORCED TO SELL OUT
H. r. Oxnard Studied Methods in Europe and Afterwards Ap piled Them Against
 the Trust.

Washington June 17.--tialf a mil the Oxnard brothers almost over aight when they put their Brooklyn sugar refinery. valued at $z00,000 into the Sugar trust of 1887, according to the testimony of Henry T. OXnard, vice-president of the American Beet Sugar company, before the house in vestigating committee. Had the OK nards held their trust certificates until today, the witness said, the deal would have netted them $S00,O0o. be- sides the dividends on the certificates They sold the c4sfficates two years after they received them for $75O,OOO.
 We were rather glad tC sell out, said Oxnard. "Cut-throat competition existed in those days. and unless the beet sugar business turnedout as we thought it would, it was little doubt full about our keeping going
 Plant Worth $20o,00o.
 The witness said the capitalization of the Brooklyn factory was only sl0O 900. but that the plant was worth S20O,000.
 You would have been satisfied to get out what you had put into It. wouldn't you?" inquired Chairman Hardwick
 Well, I don't know" was the re sponse.
 On this little transaction you clean ed up half million. Now how much water was in the other deals? How much did Captain Thomas made? q do not know. We were probably treated little better than the oth' ers'

Great Big Salaries.
Now comes the big item-the salaries
Of the principal actors. Before Mr.
Waller came to America it was an
noUnced that he had been offered the
biggest salary ever paid an E1glsh
actor to play the part OF Boris There
is little reason to doubt this. as Mr.
Waller is one Of LOndOn's most sue
cessfu actor managers, and would nat
urally require an iTducement of sub
stantial proportions to quit his London
theater, with its profitable clientele OF
confirmed Walerites, for even single
season.
Then there is Mary 8Iannering, an
actress of great personal popularity,
recently married and seriously conSid-
ering permanent retirement from the
stage. Mr.. PlymptOn, too, has tasted
the pleasures of rural life, and was
enticed from his Berkshire farm with
considerable difficulty. Nine. Faddmas
the Algerian dancer in the play, has
an international reputation, and with a
little clever exploitation, might easily
command q weekly salary running in
to four figures from the vaudeville
houses.

vide between them $4,000 dollars every

the authors, Mr.. Hichens and his more

point nearer $4,000 than $1,000
The royalties, 1t is understood
amount to 10 percent Of the gross re-
ceipts, necessitating weekly receipts Of
$4,000 in order to avoid loss
That these figures are not far from
those to be found on the treasurers
weekly statements Of expense may be
inferred from the remark Of one Of the
members Of the firm Of Liebler & Co,
producers of the play, TO the effect
that II would take three months OF the
present record breaking business to re-
pay the original cost of the production.

LEAGUE COMPLETES SO, 1000 CAM.
PAIGN FUND.

The Anti-Saloon League OF Mary
land has received subscriptions in
sufficient amount to complete the
special campaign fund of $4,000,
and thereby secures the 5000 offered
by five friends of the cause.
The money will be used for adver-
Using and the circulation of literature
by mail. Part of it will be spent be-
fore the primaries to arouse the peo-
pie to insist upon the nomination OF
local option candidates of both part
les. The rest of it will be spent in
helping elect temperance candidates
against those controlled by the liquor
interests, regardless of party.
This is the first time in the history
of Anti-Saloon League work in the
country that SO large a campaign fund
has been raised SO long before cleo
ton. The League feels that it indi-
Gates an overwhelming demand on
on the part of the people for the pass
age of the local option bill, and Incl
dcntally shows general confidence in
the League as an effective agency for
securing it.
The League has not and will not
enter into any deal or alliance with
any political party, hut deals solely
with individual candidates. Even
in the unlikely event that some party
should put the local option question
into its platform the League will not
support any candidate Of such party
who has not made u satisfactory per-
sonal declaration. and where candi-
dates of both parties are equally sat
isfactory the League will rem ain
neutral.
