Way To Settle Big Debts.

The investigation of the Sugar
Trust discloses some interesting in
formation Little of the inner history
of the Pennsylvania Sugar Refining
Company deal was obtained from the
witness. He admitted that the Am
erican Sugar Refining Company loan
ed to Adolph Sega1 through Gustave
A. Kissel, of whom Mr.. Heike spoke
as Segals agent, $1,250,000, and that
majority of the stock of the Penn
sylvania Sugar Refining Company
with the voting power thereof was
given as collateral security.
He could not remember that the
stock was voted so that the Pennsyl-
vania refinery was abandoned imme-
diate1y, nor could he remember how
the deal was closed.

end we got payment of the loan by re-
turning our collateral and paying
s75O.000." he declared. sIt cost us
S2.000,000. That is a new way of re
ceiving payment of a debt" He ex-
planned the $750,000 was equivalent
to a penalty under the Sherman Anti
Trust Law.

Month For Renewal of Licenses OF
| Automobiles.

Raleigh, N. c., June 15.-This is the
month for the renewal of the licenses
and registrations of automobiles in
this State and it is estimated that
there will have to be not less than
10000 entries of one sort and anoth-
er in the Department of State before
this work is over. There are 1886
automobiles registered and all of
these will have to procure renewals
before July 1st or be subject to pen
alties. The number of the last ma
chine registered was 2,697, this be-
ing issued yesterday. However, the
number started at 100 and there is
one number-1313-that was Cancelled
for an automobile owned in Charlotte
and another and more '1ucky" mum.
Der substituted after the machine had
killed one person and happened to a
number of other serious mishaps
What made the number 1913 more
Objectionable to the gentleman to
whom it was allotted was the fact
| that the registration was made and
the license issued on Friday.

Denies Poisoning Her Husband.

New Bern, June 14.-Mrs. Leona
Casey, wife of Burril1 Casey, both of
whom are now confined in Craven
county Jail awaiting the action of the
grand jury on a warrant charging
them with poisoning her former hus-
band, Mr.. Joseph Whitty, of Lanes
Chapel, in an interview denies that
she contributed in any way to his
death. That sc did not know at
the time of her arrest that her hus-
band was in jail on the same charge
and that since her Incarceration here
she had not been allowed to see him
or to communicate with lin in any
way That she was not in the least
afraid; that if the case was ever
brought to trial that they would not
be convicted, because there could not
possibly be any evidence that either
of them had caused his death.

The Tobacco Case.

Raleigh, N c., June 15.-T1e evil
dence in the Ware-Kramer case is
too voluminous for publication. They
consist Of depoSitions, briefs, &c.
The complaint and answer were
read by sections alternately and con-
sumed two hours of the morning ses-
sion, the jury having been selected
within two hours time. TIE cim-
plant sets out series OF acts On the
part of the American Tobacco Com
pany to destroy the plaintiff as . COM
petitor, an especially notable aiega-
ton being the substitution of Am
erican Tobacco Company goods for
several carloads of cigarettes shipped
by the Ware-KramGr Company to
China, the Kramer goods never
having reached their destination and
the American Tobacco Company
goods being found in their Istead
supplying the China trade the indo-
pendent" goods were intended for.
However, the Ware-Kramer Company
set out that their check for their
shipment came in due time and they
would never have known Of the SUBJ
stitution had not a representative e
fund the American Tobacco Company
on sale
General trust methods of sitting
competition constitute the principal
charges made A notable feature is
the charge that, through a con-
spiracy between the American To-
bacco Company and w. M. Carter.
the latter, who had been long in the
employ of the American Tobacco
Company, secured stock in the Ware
Kramer Company and was put IN
charge of the sales department and
| set about destroying the trade Of the
Lei "a q
shifting statesmen from their well
established trade to new territory
and by circulating reports detri-
| mental to the Ware Kramer Com
pany.
The American Tobacco Company
sets up a general deliad OF the
charges and alleges further that the
Ware-Kramer Company was guilty
! of as bitter and unfair methods IN
! furthering trade and slandering the
defendant company as they charge
committing. Also the answer sets
up the defense that many of the
| things charged are alleged to have
been committed more than two years
prior to the bringing of the suit ana
are barred by statute of limitation.
The dispositions presented during
the afternoon were by G. A. Hubbard
and w. P. Moore, Norfolk; A. M.
Martin and William Farrant, Rich

"The storm as bad as expected.
Cyclone accompanied by heaviest

miles and g half through the heart of
the plantation, stripping the cotton Of
every vestige of branch and leaf. To-
bacco all broken off close to the
ground, and corn blown down and
looking like it passed through a
shredder. Oaks torn UP by the roots,
and the avenue of elms looks like a
logging crew has just finished with
it. The roof of sixty-foot cotton
shed lifted off, and twisted like a
fire.
"Storm practically confined to the
plantation. Neigabors suffered some
loss, but storm not so fierce as here.

Fitzgerald of Nye introduced a bill
in the assembly to amend the present

ing number of games that are play

makes II misdemeanor instead of a
felony to participate in a gambling
game. The penalty for so doing to be

offense.

fore vote could be taken on the
resolution, Hackner of Nye offered
an amendment To the effect that
Round Mountain be also placed on
the list of cities wherein the federal
court should hold sessions. This
amendment was made for the pur-
pose of killing the bill, as there was
no possibility that the Washington
authorities would consider holding
court in so many different points in
the state. The principal objection
offered to the original resolution was
that Carson is the only city in the
state having law library that would
be required by the federal court.

ALPHA ORE BODY NOT
MENTIONED IN REPORT
BIGGEST ASSET OF GIROUN COM
PA<l II NOT INCLUDED IN
PARTIAL REPORT PUBLISHED
THIS WEEK.

partial report of the Giroux
Consolidated Mines company was
published during the week. and to
those who did not give proper atten-
ton 10 its reading. IL was a disap-
pointment. II is not disappointing
II Is misleading for e does not deal
/ with the biggest ssat of the proper
~, the Alpha orebody. II contem-
plates only the porphyry orebodies
TO the east of the Alpha which are To
be worked with steam shoveis.
In all that has been written here
tofore: In all that has been said by
those To whom was accorded the
privilege of going UNDERGROUND the
great Alpha deposit has been the
theme of discussion; the steam shov-
ell pit was a side proposition. Not
an engineer who has looked over the
Alpha orebody has ventured any
thing but the most enthusiastic
opinion as 10 the outcome of the
work going on there; and the com
pany, itself. while the public has
never known the actual extent of
the ore in sight, has shown its con-
fidence in that part of the property
by the vast amount of money spent
In improvements.
The report states that there have
been developed by the churn drills
9,626,000 tons of ore exclusive of
the Alpha; and that this ore Will
average 1876 per cent copper. The
estimated total production of copper
AT this percentage is 262, 1000, 600
pounds. The average of the gold
and silver in the 1926 ,000 tons is
80 cents ton, which in addition to
the copper content means S5,772,-
600. Give a profit of four cents a
pound to Giroux, and its red metal
would yield better than 10000 600
net which would make dividends for
the stockholders of $15,772,000 and
the story not by any means half
told. The advance of copper in
price to IA cents a pound, not at
all unlikely proposition, would In
crease this To more than 500, 600
net profit.
The report says in regard TO the
Alpha that ii Is expected that the
erosscut at the 200 foot level will
fearn the ore DN MdItu l, anu Ahdt
shipments will commence within
three or four months. Negotiations
are now in progress with the rail
roads with a view of securing favor
able freight rates until such time as
the company can erect Its own re-
duetion plant. The ore deposits of
the Alpha, believed by many to be
the largest high grade deposits in
the United States, (the report says
this). will be developed as rapidly
as possible. officials of the COM
pany express the belief that large
tonnages of high grade as well as
commercial ore will be developed on
the contacts which have never been
prospeeted to any great extent.
The financial condition of the
company is of the best, the showing
being cash resources amounting to
S6S6,000 In the treasury. This
means that developments can con
tinue indefinitely until such time as
they are ready to produce.

AFFAIRS IN BAD SHAPE.
Receiver Wise Makes Report of Con-
ditions of Herrick-Kerin Inv. Co.

Herman Wise, receiver for the
Herrick- KERN Investment company
has filed his report in the district
court and the showing of the COM
pany's affairs Is certainly poor one.
On its face the report shows a de-
ficiency of $7,943.99, but an analysis
of the accounts will determine that
things are even worse.
The report shows that the COM
pany owes to its clients 28,620
shares of Ely Central stock; 705
shares of Giroux: 100 Ray Consoli-
dated; 1000 shares of Boston Ely
and 100 shares of Success. The re-
ceiver says that there is no stock in
his hands to satisfy the claim of the
firms clients. There is little chance
of collecting anything on accounts
receivable for the reason that the
majority of the money is due on
stocks which have no existence as
far as the receiver can determine.
With regard to the real estate the
latter is covered by a mortgage in
favor of the Ely National bank. The
report is as follows:
