SUGAR TRUST AND
 CAMPAIGN FUNDS PRESIDENT THOMAS IS INTERRO- GATED BY REPRESENTATIVE
 BAKER ALONG THAT LINE.
PROVES BAD WITNESS
Former President Roosevelt Will Be Called to Testify at the
 Investigation.

l New York, July 1S.-"Did the Am erican Sugar Refining Company con tribute to the campaign fund raised in New York in 1904 by E. H. Harri- man?"
 i ''I don't know"
 i Could you find out from the con- pany's books?"
 i q don't know"
 l Did the American Sugar Refining Company make a political contribu- tion in 19OS?"
 "It did not We contributed not one cent to either party or to any person for any party. Nor were we asked to do so. Had we been asked we would have sternly refused think such things ought to be damn ed"
 The questioner was Representative John E. Baker, a Democratic member of Congress from California and a member of the special committee of the House of Representatives charged with the investigation of the Sugar Trust The person who answered his questions was Washington B. Thomas, who succeeded Henry o. Havemeyer, as president of the Sugar Trust, soon after the sudden and mysterious death of MT. Havemeyer in the late fall of 1907.
 President Thomas was the only witness at the first days session of the committee hearing in New York He was on the stand altogether four and a half hours-two and half in the morning and two in the after- noon He will resume the witness chair tomorrow morning. 1 In the opinion of the committee men, privately expressed, he did not make a good witness for his own cause. His attitude was reluctant and at times defiant. By his side sat two of the counsel of the big Sugar Trust, Messrs Crawford and Fuller. His gaze wandered wistfully towards them whenever a particularly pert inent question was asked them. Ere uuently they admonished him with waves of the hand or inaudible whis- pers not to reply until they had held secret conferences with Chairman Hardwick and other members of the committee. This was especially true when Representative Baker, who for nearly two hours had the successor to Havemeyer in hand and subjected him to a gruelling cross examina- ton. touched upon the methods en- ployed by the Trusts ill stifling com petition by purchasing small rival concerns. shutting them down and holding them in reserve as means of frightening would-be competitors from establishing refineries at strage- tical points in the sugar trade.
 Suppose" inquired BaKer, tdfae the American Sugar Refining Com pany should purchase two refineries in San Francisco and close one Of them up, would that act effectually as a threat to frighten an independ- ent company from establishing re- finery there to compete with you?'' ct would not in my opinion,' re- sponded President Thomas somewhat surlily." This closed his examination , for the day.
 If is expected that ex-President Theodore Roosevelt will be called as
 witness later in the investigation

 BURIED IN rOITER'S FIELD.
LITTLE ROCK PRELATF
Body Was Sent to Pensacola, Florida, For Interment-Member of
 Bessemer, Ala., Lodge.

Memphis, Tenn, July 18.-The body of Father Hughey O'Brien, of Little Rock, was snatched from the mouth of the grave in the Potter's field at al- most the last minute, when the iden- tity of the dead man was disclosed and it was learned that he was a member Of the Bessemer, (Ala.) lodge of Elks.
 The body had lain in the morgue for three days awaiting identifica- tion, when the Sisters of St. Joseph's Hospital where Father O'Brien died. discovefed from the papers left with the institution that the body was the {, Little Rock prelate. They eommuni- catcd with the Alabama lodge of Elks, which ordered the body prepared for burial. The body was forwarded to Pensacola, where a sister of the dead priest lives
 Father oBrien came to Memphis unheralded.
 Pensacola Report. j
 Pensacola, Fla, July 1S.-While iur vestigating the effects of an uniden5 tified patient who died and whose body had been prepared for burial in the Potter's field, Sisters of St, Jos eph's Hospital at Memphis, Tenn, i learned that he was an Elk and a member of the Bessemer (Ala.) lodge. This led to the discovery that he was Father Hughey O'Brien of Little Rock, Ark. Father O'Brien was a na- tive of Pensacola and had been an as- sistant priest at St. Andrews Cathe- dral in Little Rock. The body was forwarded here and the funeral will take place today.
 Can't Explain It. Little Rock, Ark, July 1S.-Father Hughey O'Brien, formerly assistant rector at St. Andrews Cathedral, who died in Memphis Saturday, should have been well known to the Catholics of that city, according to Father Aretz of the Bishops House here. The Lit tie Rock priest states that Father O'Brien left Little Rock about 10 days ago and that he was not feeling we'll at the time. He was en route to his Alabama home and when he reached Memphis he was too ill to go further. He went to St. Joseph's Hospital, un- der the direction of the Sisters of the church, where he died and Bishop Morris was notified on Sunday. Father Aretz is at a loss to under stand how reports of inability to iden- tify the priest came to be sent out. Father O'Brien is vel known and there should have been no trouble in knowing who he was.
 Local priests are under the impress sion there is some mistake relative to the report that he was about to be buried in the Potter's field at Mem phis.

SAVAGE SPORT.
sIsppins Game Of the 6ontoc isorrotse
Uriuue Contest.


a Unique Contest.
Every nation has its own idea OF
sport. That OF the wild Igorrotes or
northern Luzon used 10 consist prin-
cipally OF head hunting. a grisly ana
bloody recreation which the American
occupation discouraged. But not all
the pastimes OF the lgorrotes are as
horrible as this. One rather amusing
game of which they are fond is thus
described by Dean q. Worcester In tho
National Geographic Magazine:
A constabulary officer tells us that
If we want to see n unique contest we
must ask for the slapping game or the
Bontoc Igorrotes. We want to see all
there is going and say so.
A wooden bench is brought out, ana
two 1.-THE and muscular young men
step forward. One of them squats on
the bench, grasping his right thigh In
his hands so as to tighten the muscles
as much as possible.
The other stands beside him ana
stretches out his right arm. He
throws his arm back and then sweeps
it forward In full round arm swing.
The blow falls on thin air, close to the
frightened thigh muscles of his oppo-
nent
He now swings his arm back again,
his whole body turning with 1t; rises
on the toes of his left foot and puts
every ounce of strength which he pos
sesses into a blow delivered with the
fiat of his hand upon the rigid thigh
of his opponent. Knots of muscle
spring out on his arm, back and legs
as he strikes and the blow cracks like
a revolver shot.
The recipient endeavors. sometimes
with poor success, to preserve an ex-
preston of contemptuous indifference.
The judges examine his thigh. IL the
blow has been hard enough blood Will
show just beneath the skin and he
will not have the stisfaction of taking
n whack Mt his opponent. but II this
result has not been achieved the other
must take his seat on the bench ana
submit to be smitten.
The contest continues until one sue
ceeds i'm producing the bloody marx
on the other.
