Handling Of Them by Banks
in North Dakota Frowned
Upon by Federal Court
kAAM0OSE NATIONAL BANK Was
FIRST VICTIM AND MADE plea.
Officer of That Institution Appeared
In Observation-Disclosures Greatly
Elated Over the Action-In Line
With Recent G. 0. D. Express
Ruling. @

Fargo, N. d., June 15.-For the first
time in the history Of North Dakota,
a national bank has been indicted for
the violation of the interstate laws in
connection with the shipment of liquor
into North Dakota. The First National
bank Of Anamoose is the victim and
one of its officials pleaded guilty to-
day to one count Of the indictment, the
other fifteen being dismissed.
The action will be severe blow to
the outside liquor interests in the
state. Some years ago ruling was
made that the fake c. o. d. packages
could no longer be sent. Whiskey
shipments can be made but cannot be
collected for by the express com
panies. This led to a transfer of the
collections to the banks, the bills of
lading with the drafts attached being
sent to the bankers.
The present action knocks out that
part of the traffic, and hereafter liquor
shipped into the state must either be
on straight credit proposition or on
paid in advance deal.
Prohibitionists of the state are great
ly elated and figure that North Dakota
has again blazed the way for another
big crusade against liquor shipments
into prohibition territory. The action
is all the more effective as it is
brought in the United States court.
United States District Attorney Enge-
rud, prior to assuming his official
duties, had given the bankers associa-
ton a written opinion opposed to the
handling of liquor collections.

Head of the Norman Church to
Appear in Sugar Trust Inquiry

Washington, June 15.-Joseph F..
Smith, head of the Mormon church,
has been summoned to appear before
the house sugar trust investigating
committee to tell what he knows of
the formation of the Utah-Idaho
Sugar companies combinat Sem
ator Smoot of Utah made an unsuc-
cessful effort to have the Norman
president excused.
Resolution adopted in 1898 by di-
rect orders of the American Sugar
Refining company authorizing their
committee to fix the price of sugar
and to buy "outside refineries at
terms to be fixed at their discretion" !"
confronted the officials of the COM
pany today when they appeared be-
fore the house committee. The res
olution had been found in the min
ute books Of the company that the
committee had required them to
produce.
Five HOurs-NOthing.
Five hours was spent yesterday by
Charles r. Heike, former secretary Of
the American Sugar Refining COM
pany, in telling the house sugar in
vestigation committee that he knew
nothing about the policies or inner
story of the company, particularly in
the years when H. o. Havemeyer was
its president.
The witnesses described his posi-
ton with the company as that Of a
stock transfer man, bookkeeper and
letter writer"
He said the government had picked
him out as the mischief maker" in
the alleged customs frauds charged
to the company, simply because it
had to have some one to fasten them
on.
What matters the committee tried
to find out about, but concerning
which Mr.. Heike claimed to know
but little, were many.
One of the things was the interest
Of the American Sugar Refining COM
pany in the National Sugar Refining
company. He said the former owned
$5,0O0,000 preferred stock in the lat
ter, or a little more than one-half
but he had 40 idea of why just a
little more than one-half was pur-
chased. Neither did he know wheth-
er the American Sugar Refining
company was cognizant of the claim,
now under litigation, that $10,000,000
common stock in the National was in
existence, at the time it purchased
the preferred stock.
Little of the inner history Of the
Pennsylvania Sugar Refining COM
pany deal was obtained from the wit
ness. He admitted that the American
Sugar Refining company loaned to
Adolph Segal through Gustave A.
Kissel of whom Mr.. Heike spoke as
Segal's agent, s1,250,000 and that a
majority of the stock Of the Penn
sylvania Sugar Refining company
with the voting power thereof, was
given as collateral security.

Of Hale Voucher Not
Cleared Up By Secretary Knox

Z washington, June 15.-The mys-
terry that surrounds the sudden dis
covery in the state department of
the Day portrait voucher, found, a
week ago on the floor of the office
OF Bfsbursihg Clerk Morrison
not cleared up when Secretary Knox
appeared yesterday before the HAM
line committee of the house. The
secretary explained the payment of
$1,000 to Frederick Hale, son of for
mer Senator Eugene Hale Of Maine,
for services in connection with the
Canadian boundary negotiations.
Knox produced sections of the treaty
in 1908 which authorized the negoti-
ations with Canada to establish a
line through Passamaquoddy bay.
Hale was employed for this work.
Hale was not employed to actual
ly locate the boundary, but for the
diplomatic work of agreeing on the
line through Passamaquoddy bay"
said Nnox. when he failed to reach
an agreement with Great Britain, the
matter aw patically went to arbi-
tration. g Sress then appropriated
! sat In my 6e one day and settled
the matter, ~ regarding it of
enough value t. to the expense
Of arbitration. " reduced our
agreement to writh It became a
treaty between the UlA States and
Great Britain, and as 40 was rati-
fed by the senate" e y
AS to the voucher signed by Albert
Rosenthal, the portrait painter, call
ing for $2,450, of which sum Rosen-
thai got but $3.50, Knox could give
no new facts. He only knew that he
had started search for it as soon
as he heard about the case and that
search failed to reveal any trace of
the voucher or letters, that were sup
posed to be with it.
A week ago, said Knox, Carr, chief
of the consul bureau, brought a
voucher and papers to him, saying
that they had been found on the
floor Of Disbursing Clerk Morrison's
office.
The evening times. [volume] (Grand Forks, N.D.) 1906-1914, 1911-06-15

Knox added q new element to the
mystery.
"You will be interested in another
receipt from Rosenthal that is at
tached to the papers," he said to the
committee ut was signed January
1s, 1904, and is for $3.50, with q no
tation that $50 for the frame of Sec
retary Days picture had been paid
to Washington picture dealer"
Where did this second receipt
come from?" demanded Hamlin.
i found 1t with the papers; that
is all know Of It," said Knox.
Members of the committee, upon
examination, found that it was not
actually dated January 1S, 1904, but
read: Received January 1S, 1904,
the sum Of $780, with an explana-
tton of the purpose.
Hamlin declared he believed there
was something wrong about the re-
ceipt. He intimated. that he believed
It had been fixed UP, at least as to
the explanation written in ink across
the bottom, after the present 'investi-
cation began.
DO you mean that you suspect
some one in the state department is
guilty Of committing perjury?" de-
manded Knox with heat.
There is no intention to reflect on
you personally, secretary" returned
the chairman, "but am strongly of
the opinion that this was prepared
after this inquiry began
"Then you think that Rosenthal
has written at least part of this re-
ceipt since the time indicated in it,"
asked Knox.
Hamlin replied that he thought it
was a curious receipt, and that he
intended to probe the circumstances
t. the bottom.
Il will welcome such an investiga-
tion," said Knox, "and If you can cor
roborato your theory and can show
that any one in the state department
was cognizant of such an act, there
will be some vacancies in the depart
ment." ..

REGENTS EMPLOY
OWN DETECTIVES
University Board Takes Ac-
tion in Bren Case-short-
age Now Only $500

Minneapolis, June 15.-Private de-
tectiyes have been employed by the
board Of regents of the university to
investigate the Bren case. When the
Bren case is taken up by the grand
jury S. H. Breedon, 1927 Pillsbury
avenue, who for twenty years was q
bookkeeper at the university, will be
a witness. Breeder left the office
seven years ago. He has since charg-
ed Irregularities in the finances of the
institution.
The private detectives have called
upon Mrs. Breeden, but she has re-
fused to talk. Both she and her hus-
band say they could tell things, but
she says she will talk to no one but
a member of the regents. The Bree-
dens say the alleged "high financier-
ing" at the "U" started seven years
ago.
With the discovery of $4,950 in the
untversity vault and the subsequent
return of $40 by former Treasurer ].
D. Bren, the total shortage of the
cashier, according to the report Of An
drew E.. Fritz, filed with Governor
Eberhart late yesterday will be lit
tie more than $4,000. or less than $500
more than Bren says he was robbed of.
This, in brief, Is the significance Of the
report ON Bren's cash fund, written
by Assistant Public Examiner ]. A.
CederberH Deputy r. N. Stacy is
writing his report, and it Is likely that
both Of them will be incorporated in
one comprehensive report on the in
vestgation Of university funds up to
date.
WIN Not Give Out Fun Report
Governor Eberhart will not make
public Mr.. Frits's report until after he
has conferred with representative of
the board Of regents and a member of
the county attorneys Office. The re-
port Is to be thoroughly censored by
the county officials In charge of the
prosecution of Bren for alleged misap-
preparation Of state funds. Nothing
will be given out which will in any
way injure the case Of the state against
Bren.
It was learned, however, that with
the discovery of the $3.50 and the
$40 voluntarily turned over by Mr..
Bren that the shortage In Bren's ac-
counts beyond the $13.826.79 Of which
he says he was robbed II small.
Friends Of Bren are said to have Of
fered to make up any shortage over
and above the amount Of which Bren
says he was robbed.

He could not remember that the

loan"
"Do you know anything about the
suit that was filed growing out of
the TRANSACTIONS" persisted Mr.. Gar
rett.
II cannot explain positively"
Mr.. Heike was unable to explain
why President Havemeyer had such
a control over the American if he
only held in his own name a COM
paratively few shares. Again Mr..
Heike interrupted to suggest that
possibly more shares were held in
the name of brokers, as was some
times done in New York.
"The stockholders were apparently
satisfied to re-elect the directors
from year to year." said Mr.. Heike
in explanation to Mr. Havemeyer's
power.
"Did he secure the proxies Of

The witness responded that he did
and when asked the manner in which
the proxies were collected said:
Il sent notices out every time to
each stockholder. l would say, the
term expires of three directors, if
you please, be present to vote. If
you have no time to come We will
vote for you and unless otherwise
directed We will vote for the three
whose Office expires"
And they always wrote you to go
ahead and do that?"
Precisely"
Forgot Reserve.
Then forgetting, seemingly, the re-
serve which had characterized his
testimony, Mr.. Heike launched forth
into a defense Of the corporation.
The occasion of the divergence was a
remark that there are 10000 stock
holders in the American Sugar Re-
f1ning company.
There are about 4,s0O stockhold-
ers with dividends of about $3.50 a
year or 81 a day. The company also
has between 10000 and 1000 labor
ing men; they get about 81 a day
or more. Consequently We have
about 10000 people, of which there
are 10000 capitalists who get dol
lar a day and the rest laborers, who
get two dollars day. And yet they
are down on the corporations"
