$25O,OOO IN FINES
FOR SUGAR FRAUDS
GOVERNMENT FINDS, HOWEVER,
THERE IS NO OCCASION FOR
ANY CRIMINAL PROSECU-
TION.

Washington, ID. C.-Alleged sugar
frauds in Philadelphia, under ~investi-
cation by Secretary of the Treasury
MacVeagb II Attorney General
Wickersham for the last year, have
been settled by payment of nearly a
quarter of a million of dollars by the
sugar refinery companies involved.
This announcement was made by the
treasury department today. The
frauds in question cheated the gov
eminent out of large sums in import
duties.
The Investigations of the alleged
sugar frauds in New York and New
Orleans, it was reported, are APP
preaching a conclusion. These con-
stitute the conclusion of the nation
wide inquiry begun in Washington.
Philadelphia, Pa.-The alleged
sugar frauds of this port which We're
settled To-Day by the payment of Lear
ly a quarter of million dollars have
been under investigation here since
last summer. Two federal grand ju-
ries investigated the subject but
found no indictment, the disclosures
not w%arranting criminal prosecution
in the opinion of the government Of
flcials.
The terms of settlement include
the payment of 100000 by the w j.
McCahan Sugar Refining company
and $124,33S.29 by the Franklin

Great Cardinal Caval-
lari Publicly Scores
lmmodesty
POPE
Sends Autograph to Patriarch
Protesting Against Inn
modest Tendencies

Rome, Italy,-The church has
from time to time raised it's voice
in no uncertain over the
present day fashions. with, it must
be confessed, little appreciate eff
feet.
Now the great Cardinal Cavallari,
patriarch of Venice, a personal
friend of Plus X, has taken up the
question, and in a discourse i'm the
cathedral of the Queen of the Adri-
attic, he told the women of Venice,
and, through the press, the women
of all Italy, what the church thinks
of those who dress in the present
extreme styles.
His scathing denunication must
have caused some searching of hearts
in many of his congregation. 1t was
noticeable that day that confession
ais were overcrowded with women,
although they appeared in the OBJ
jectionably cut garments, and have
not yet discarded them.
Says Attire Disgusts Men.
The cardinals discourse is inter-
esting even outside Italy. He re-
called what St. Peter said on the
subject of women's greatest adorn-
ment and asked the pertinent ques-
ton whether such was the leading
idea among the ONE of the present
day. Then he went on:
To-day the immodesty of the mode
of the dressing of many women has
arrived at such a point that even
men who are naturally virtuous are
Disguised and repealed. Where is
the modesty of those who wear the
present day costumes? What does
that impudent nudity mean but lack
of virtue? declare now, publicly,
that at the first Sunday Communions
at my house / shall moi allow any
n dressed in that way to appear
with children. l am at home there
and shall assert my authority"
Clash Over Question in Naples.
The cardinals discourse recalls the
situation in Naples last year in re.
gard to the same subject. The clergy
had been preaching against the i'm.
modesty of the fashions, and Il cam.
paign had been begun when the
question was taken up by the anti.
clerical clements. who declared in
favor of tight skirts.
Plus x. has not publicly supported
the patriarch's criticism, for the
reason that not long ago he issued q
statement himself on the subject, but
he has sent to the cardinal ar
autograph letter of approval, ant
caused it to be known that although
he has not himself seen the obnoxious
garments, he thinks every priest ant
every man should fight against the
immodest tendencies of the day.

PLUNCES IN HIGH
FINANCES ARRESTED
GEORGE KNITTEL OF TRIP
COUNTY OBTAINS POSSES.
SION OF TWO AUTOMO.
BILES AND FLIES
NORTH.

Sioux Falls, S. D.-His sensational
plunge into high finance has resulted
in an individual named George Knit
tel being lodged in the Platte Jail on
charges that, if convicted, will land
him in the Sioux Falls p~enitentiary.
After committing the series of crimes
charged against him he fled north
ward to make his way into western
Canada, but was captured in the
extreme northern part of South Da-
kota. One of the kilograms ordering
his arrest was sent to Leola, McPher-
son county, being received there be-
tween one and two O'Clock in the af-
ternoon. Between three and four o.
clock the same afternoon the fugi-
tive drove up to a Leola garage in an
automobile. He did not have any
state number on the machine and
was arrested while he was endeav-
orlng to purchase some figures.
The first that was known of his
plunge into high finance was when
himself and wife and child arrived at
Bonesteel under the assumed name
field, Trip county, where KNITTED
had resided some time. While at
Bnesteel he under the assumed name
" ". Il. IdppeF mOFtSaSeu a farm
near Clearfield to Frank Nunamaker,
OF Bonesteel, for $1,000, taking in
the trade an automobile at $1,000
and receiving the remainder of the
amount of the mortgage in cash.
Within a short time after the tran
saction was concluded Nunemaker
became aware that the name affixed
to the mortgage was forged, and,
hunting up Knitted, who had not
yet left town, made him disgorge all
but about $50, and taking a bill of
sale for the balance on an automobile
which KNITTED claimed to own.
Before leaving Bonesteel, Knitted
cashed n or two checks at local
banks. One of these was for $1OO
and was signed Wagner. After Sc
curing the money on the checks Knit
tel hired an auto and with his wife
and child departed for Geddes.
Mix county. Soon after ar
in Charles Mix county he sue
in mortgaging the Taper
for $1,000, and after securing
the money purchased a new automo-
bile from a Geddes dealer for 5000.

London, England.-Mr. Won Kram-
er, in connection with Professor Kapp
of Birmingham University. will to-
day give to q selected number of
scientists a demonstration of the all
most incredible possibilities attach
ing to the invention which he has
just about completed, which he
claims will make railway accidents
practically impossible.
1t is called the "railophone" and
has attracted a great deal of atten-
ton since the railway world first
heard hints of it's existence. The in
strument renders possible telephone
communication with a railway train
in motion and by its use it is pos
rents which are received by the
train and to relaS them up into
stronger currents to operate electric
bells or hooters, or even to put or
the brakes of trains, or to stop them
at the will of the signalman at the
stations"
Thus a signalman ten or twent,
miles away may press a button anG
the train stops automatically. An.
other feature of the railophone is
that trains equipped with it can au.
tomatically bring back their signal.

Pierre, s. D.-According to the
monthly state treasurer's statement
of July /, the net state debt amount
ed to $5S,881.93, as against $780,
1898 a year ago. At present there is
outstanding against the state $780,
900 of funding warrants, due April
L; with $441,16S.O7 cash on hand.
This is the lowest the state debt has
ever been. At statehood a million dol
lars in bonds was inherited from the
territory, which have been cleaned
up, and il the next legislature is con-
sentative before long the state will
be working on a y%ear-round cash bas-
is. 1t is likely that the next few mon
thly reports will show a greater debt,
as the state must be run on the cash
on hand until the October tax collec-
tions begin to come in.

EXT|NGU|SHER
SAVES BIG LOSS
ROOMS OVER AUSTIN PLUMBING
SHOP FILLED WITH FLAME
FROM Exploded GASOLINE.
STOVE

AS is usually the case when there
is no water to be had what might
have been a serious fire broke out
yesterday afternoon, when the gaso-
line stove in the rooms over the Aus
tin plumbing shop. occupied by Hank
Lewis exploded, filling the entire
apartment with flame. Mr.. Lewis
who was uninjured by the explosion
called for Mr.. Austin working in the
shop downstairs. Selling a chemi-
cal fire-extinguisher Mr.. Austin
rushed to the fame filled rooms and
with several we'll directed applica-
lions of the extinguisher put out the
fire.
While no serious results attended
the fire excepting some badly scorch-
ed rooms it is easy to contemplate
what might have happened had the
chemical fire apparatus not been at
hand. The city water supply was
shut off while some necessary work
was being done on the mains and
thus had the fire obtained a good
start it would have had things at its
mercy. Almost the entire block &C
cupied by the Austin shop is COM
posed of frame structures.

AN EXAMPLE
OF JUDGE HANFORD
THIS is WHY PRESIDENT TAFT
WON'T ACCEPT RESIGNA-
TON OF THE SEATTLE
JUDGE

Washington. D. president Taft
won't accept the resignation of Fed
eral Judge Hartford of the state of
Washington, and the reason for this
action on the part of the chief execu-
tice is believed to be that he wants
to make the Seattle Judge an object
lesson to illustrate the eXpediency of
tn impeachment method, as contrast
ed with the recall system which Taft
opposes. 1t is surmised that the pres
ident regards Hanford's resignation
in the midst of the investigation
started by congress into his record is
to avoid impeachment and that the
executive wants the proceedings
against him to continue to the con-
clusion.

After entering a plea of not guilty,
the police official was remanded
without bail and taken to the Tombs.
The gamblers whose statements
are said to have caused the indict-
ment of Becker pleaded with officials
not to be taken back to the Tombs
last night, declaring they would be
killed if returned to their cells.
Agents of the police department,
they asserted, would make way with
them in retaliation for their testi-
mony if they were returned to the
prison. So real was their fear that
they were allowed to sleep in the

of eight detectives.
