WASHINGTON, June 16--Half a
million dollars profit was garnered by
Oxnard Brothers, almost overnight,
when they put their Brooklyn sugar
refinery, valued at two hundred thous.
and dollars, into the sugar trust"
in 1885,, according to the testimony
OF Henry T. Oxnard. vice president of
the American Sugar Beet company
before the house sugar trust investi
cation committee today.
Had the Oxnards held their trust"
certificate until today, the witness said
the deal would have netted them
eight hundred thousand dollars. be-
sides dividends on certificates.
They sold the certificates two years
after they received them for seven
hundred and fifty thousand dollars.
The witness said the capitalization of
the Brooklyn factory was only one
hundred thousand dollars but that the
plant was worth two hundred thous-
and dollars.
He said that he did not stay with
the trust but went abroad and after
studying the beet sugar industry in
Europe returned to America to en-
gage in that business in earnest oppo-
sition to the trust.

POLICE HAMPEREO

ITALIANS
complaining Witnesses, Impelled By
Fear of Revenge. Almost Invari-
ably Gig Back On Stories When
Accused Come To Trial.
Fresh Example Furnished in Case Of
Pair Who Tried To Riddle Coun-
tryman With Bullets.

Police officers and members OF the
prosecuting attorneys stan are com
ing TO believe that 1t is next to I'm
possible to obtain a conviction In
cases where Italians are involved.
Before Police Justice Stein. Tuesday
morning, John Messina occasioned
some surprise upon the witness stand
by refuting a story he had previous
ly told police officers. He was the
complaining witness against Consul
mano Rosario and Francesca Ancona,
against whom he had sworn war
rant, charging assault with intent to
do great bodily harm. He said they
had fired seven revolver shots at
him the night of Jan. IA.
When he took the stand, he said
he was unable to identify the men
as those who had shot at him. He
declared that only one or two bull
lets had been fired, and he thought
these had been fired in the air. Pre-
viously, Detective fremont and Pa
troiman Oldani testified that seven
shot had been fired. The officers said
Messina had told them an entirely
different story; that he had been
stopped by the two men, who de-
manded money and then fired flu
silade at him at close range.
The Italian officers say IL Is easy to
understand the change of heart exper-
fenced by the complaining witnesses.
They are impelled by fear to change
their testimony so that cases cannot
be made out against those lawless
Sicilians, who go about the streets
armed with dangerous weapons at
night and spend their days connecting
schemes to terrorize their industrious
countrymen into disgorging cash.
Attorney Louis Columbo defended
| the two men in police court and made
| the statement that the newspapers are
' to blame for the majority of the Italian
troubles here. He said that as soon
as anything happened in the Italian
colony, the newspapers excited the I'd
tives by making BLACK Hand storiei
out of the cases.
Il guess the newspapers are not to
.blame," said Judge Stein. They nave
ample foundation for what they print.
The court declared he was tired OF
having Italian cases of this character
come into court. He said that some
lining ought to be done to remedy the
evil. He was unable to hold the men
for trial however. He discharged them,
but turned them over to the immigra'

Smith issued a bitter statement
blaming Gov. Wilson for "disrupting
