COMMISSIONERS TAKE NO AC.
ton FOR STREETS
LIGHTS IN LOVELOCk

At tn elast meeting of the board
of County commissioners petition
,was presented from Lovelock ask
ing the board to pass an ordinance
granting street lights to the town of
Lovelock. The petition set forth
that the lights were not to cost
more than $100.00 per month. and
were to be furnished at rate not
to exceed the rate charged forstreet
lighting in the town of Winnemucca.
The petition was laid over by the
county board for the reason that
there is not enough money in the
Lovelock town fund to meet the pro
posed expenditure. Street light is
something urgently needed by the
town and it is hoped that we may
have it sometime in the near future.

RATES IN SUGAR.
.SpreckIes Tells Trouble Of

Tricks Alleged 10 Have Been
Employed by His Rivals
interesting Testimony Before The
Congressional Committee.

New York, July 20 claus Augustus
Spre,kIes. son of the late claus
SpreckIes, of California. ami principal
ov ner OF the Federal Sugar Refining
CO. OF New York. gave sensational tes-
tintony Saturday before the Congress
sional committee which Is 1T present
il this city investigating the sugar
Trust. Besides throwing u most I'M
portdnt side light on the conference
between John Arbuekie and the late
II. O. IIavemeyer. which is believed
10 lave ended the great sugar val,
he described the yieissitudes Of an in
dependent sugar retner. He said that
before his plant in Philadelphia was
controlled by the trust il was put out
OF commission several times by per
sons who threw sand into the ma
chinery hearings ard otherwise dam
aged the plant
lie also testified that soon after he
started the Yonkers refinery and af-
Ter he had declined trust oyerutes,
dead rats were placed in barrels of
sugar which mad been prepared for
shipment to distant places. and whole
watts of LIQUID sugar were draiaeG of
in the night into sewers.
This nuisance OF dead rats, which
he bcliey ed were placed in the barrels
of sugar SO that their decomposition
would ruin the sugar and thus reflect
on tee product OF the refrerg. con-
tinued until private detectives point
ed oft number Of his employee 5
whom he discharged.
He refused to pay them their wages in
the hope that they would sue him and
thus enable him to question them under
oath as to who employed them to put the
dead rats in the barrels Much to his dis
appointment he was never sued.
Mr.. Spreckels said that H. o Have
meyer Theodore a Hayemeyer and John
Z. SearIs. all officers at that time of the
American Sugar Refining Co.. and now
dead. purchased a half interest in all of
the California redueries for ~. 225, COO in
cash to end the sugar war. and six
months later sold this interest to the
American Sugar Refining Co. for s5,o9o@g
in preferred stock which at that time
was worth $12o a share of 100000
other interesting points in Mr. Spreck-
els testimony was that in four years he
made $1,000 600 in an Hawaiian plantation
on a cash investment Of $4,000 and that
since he started the Federal Refinery 10
years ago by cash payment of $3.50 o01
for the equipment Of the plant. he has

which represents the preferred
stock and has turned back earnings
