According to the Testimony
Given by Claude Angus

New York. July 22.-An inside
Job" by which the Sugar Trust was
skinned out Of several millions OF dol
lars by Its own officers was the sem
sational feature OF today's develop
ments in the congressional inveStiga-
ton when Claude Augustus Spreckles.
son OF the late Claud Spreckles, the
San Francisco sugar king, testified in
"a plain straightforward manner.
Spreckles detailed the negotiations
which led up to the agreement be
tween the elder Spreckles and the
American Sugar Refining company to
sufle competition in the sugar bus
mess. \ fortS-1ive per cent intereset
in the Philadelphia refinery of Spreck-
les was sold 10 Theodore Hayemeyer,

for S2,25o,0oo. These gentlement, &C
cording to Spreckles testimony, a few
months later sold the forty-five per
cent interest to the American Refin-
ing company and received $4,000, 600
preferred stock and S5,000.0Oo max
ing handsome rakeoff Spreckles
said he was afterwards forced to
leave the Philadelphia company be
cause the trust wanted him to curtail
the output in order to force up prices
which was contrary to his policy OF
running the refinery to full capacity

HINES WAS CALLED
AS WITNESS AGAIN
Asked About Conversations
with Judge Gary and
President Brown.

Washington. July pa new sensa-
ton developed in the Lorimer case to-
day when Hines, the millionaire lum-
Der man. was recalled and questioned
regarding the consultations he had
in New York with President Brown of
the New York Central railroad and
Judge Gary of the Steel Trust.
Hines testified that he was in New
York at the time specified and after
considerable lodging and evident re-
luctance admitted that he saw Judge
Gary and Brown. He didn't consider
it fair to the latter to tell what the ma
ture of Their business was and did not
think it would enlighten the commit
tee in any way.
Hines finally admitted the name of
Lorimer came up in the conversation
just incidentally. and Brown spoke
highly of Lorimer and said he would
make good senator.
Hines denied anything was said
about making up fund to pay the
expenses of Lorimer's election.

Stockholders of the Hawkins park
project will meet on Tuesday evening
at the Commercial Club rooms at
which meeting the officers will be ell
ected and the organization perfected.
At the meeting OF the committee on
Friday the name "Fleecydale Park

leCt. but so far the name has not been
chosen as the title for the park or
the lake
Just as soon AS the first payments

the company will close the option on
the Hawkins property. This will be
done in the near future. At the meet
ing on Tuesday evening method OF

by the sale of park bonds. will be con-
sidered. With the funds raised the
company will proceed With the con-
struction of dam which will make
an artificial lake of more than a milo
in dimensions and very deep: con-
struct a pavilion and make other i'm
provements. Lots will be sold in the
addition
Articles of incorporation of the
Fleecydale park company will be filed
with the secretary OF state next week
The capitalization will be fixed at
$4,000 according to these articles At
torneys Garnder and Jessup are now
drawing up the articles of incorpora-
ton. There are 1G7 stockholders.
The popularity of the project has
not diminished the more it has been
investigated. With the promise of the
traction company that it will build a
spur into this part of the town and
the possibilities OF the proposition as
an amusement, convention and resort
center, make the prospects of the
company a very bright one.

REAL "COME BACKS"
ON THE NAP TEAM
Ball and Birmingham Of
Cleveland Are Playing
Remarkable Games.

Cleveland, July 22.-Columns have
been devoted this season to Jimmy
Callahan, the come back" marvel and
Joe Birmingham and Neal Ball have
been overlooked. Both of these Maps
are come backs" in every sense of
the word, and their work on the dia-
mond this season has sparkled They
are not come backs" in the sense that
Callahan is. having never retired from
the game. But they are playing such
a better brand of ball this year and
doing so much better than was ex-
pected of them that they belong to
the marvel class.
Little, frail, nervous Neal Ball is
one of the biggest surprises of the sea
son. If any one had predicted last
spring that "Trip" would hit at 31S
clip this season an insanity inquest
would have been held forthwith But
that is what he is doing now and his
fielding is just as sensational.
And Neal came back" just at the
right time. When Larry was hurt the
Maps were in sore straits for a second
baseman. Ball was showed in the
breach and the fans laughed But
Neal made good, and it's a big under
taking to attempt to fill Larry's shoes.
Birmy a Great Help.
When the Maps went south last
spring Birmingham was merely thou
ght of as a utility outfielder. The out
field was all doped out and Graney,
Jackson and Easterly had their posi-
tons clinched. Birmys wise base ball
head made him valuable asset to the
team. But Easterly fell down and
Griggs wasn't star, so the only alter
native was "Dode." And 'Dode" de-
ivered
He is hitting $3.50 now, much harder
than he usually did, and his fielding
and throwing have been all that could
be desired. He bolstered up a weak
spot in the Outfield and his presence
in center has been helping Jack Ora
ney settle down and hit his real stride.
New Orleans Maps Hit Hard.
The New Orleans Pelicans, alias
the Nap Yannigans. are cutting a wide
swath in the Southern League and it
is due to large extent to the former
Maps. Dave Callahan, former Nap
outfielder, is leading the league with
a 32S average. Nagle, once a Nap, is
clouting at 1916 clip and Henry
knapp, heralded as the best short
stop in the Southern League, is rap
ping the horsehide for 315 average.
Otto Hess, elongated Dutch twirler, is
singing 'em at a 81 rate, and Walter
Doane .273

OLD GUN FIGHTER
BECOMES SWINDLER
(National News Association

Los Angeles, Cal, July 22.-Wyatt
carp, one of the most picturesque
characters of frontier days and a
dreaded gunman, was arrested with
Walter Scott and E. Dunn at the Aud
itorium hotel last night by police Off
GERS and the three We're booked at
Headquarters as suspicious charac-

changed to to one of grand larceny.
The arrests were caused by the COM

The trio were released on 800 bail
