say so and my language does not bear
that construction He told various per-
sons ha meant. if elected, to offer tne

Californian Was Probably Near
Titanic When She Went Down.

london, May 15.-At least one officer
of the Leyland Liner Californian firmly
believes that that vessel was in the vi
entity of the Titanic on the night she
went down and although he did not
know they actually saw her sink, the
lights OF the vessel they were watch
ing disappeared.
Charles Grove, the third officer of the
Californian. the man in question, so
testified in the course of today's Board
of Trade inquiry. His fellow officers
disagree with him, but from the re-
marks of Lord Mersey, the president
of the inquiry he concurs in the be-
lief of Grove. At one point, today, he
remarked:
Has anybody found out which
steamer 1t was if it was not the I'll
tanie? What is the use of asking the
opinion of witnesses who did, not see
the steamer when Grove. who saw 1t,
said he believed it was the Titanlc?"
Grove testified that he told the cap
tain of the Californian that the vessel
was a passenger steamer but the cap
tain thought otherwise. He also said
that at 11.40 on the fatal night-almost
at the moment when the Titanic struck
the iceberg-the lights of steamer
which lie was watching from the bridge
of the Californian, We're shut out.
He believed that the turning of the
steamer two points to port would ac-
count for this
Grove also said that the steamer he
saw had two masthead lights. which
gave further evidence that she was a
passenger steamer.
Lord Mersey: DO You believe the
steamer you saw was the Titanic?''
Grove: After what I have heard
since / am decidedly of that opinion"
Evans, the wireless operator on the
Californian, also testified, today. that
he told the captain on the night of

Frequent Clashes
In Sugar Inquiry.

New York, May 15-The second
days hearing of testimony in the gov
ernment's suit for dissolution of the
American Sugar Refining CO., turned,
today, into further clashes between
the opposing sides over the govern
ment's efforts to probe conditions in
the sugar industry prior to the pas
sage in 1890 of the Sherman anti
trust law, with violation of which the
defendants are charged.
Defendants counsel declared many
questions were irrelevant but District
Attorney Wise said that in the Stand
ard Oil case questions relating to hap
penings as far back as 1870 were adj
mitted. The objections went on rec
ord with the testimony since special
Examiner Wilson p. Brice made no
rulings in the matter.
Two witnesses were called by the
government. Wallace p. Willett, a
veteran publisher of a sugar trade
journal continued testimony which he
began. yesterday. as TO the production
and marketing of sugar as far back
as 80 years. Then a well known fig
ure was called in the person of Ernest
W. Gerbracht. who is under sentence
to serve two years in Atlanta peni-
Tertiary for participation in under
weighing frauds on the customs docks
at the Williamsburg refinery of the
American Sugar Refining Co.
Gerbracht, who was formerly super
intendent of the Williamsburg refin-
cry, recently appealed. but lost and
under $4,000 bail he is awaiting the
exee,1tion of his sentence.
Under examination by Assistant Dis
trict Attorney Dorr he testified to hav-
ing been in the sugar business since
1872 and of becoming superintendent OF
the Havemeyer and Elder refinery.
Twenty-seven years ago there were
numerous refineries in Brooklyn in ac-
tive competition. he said.
did you hear of any agreement in
the winter of 1856 or 1887 between
these rehneries as to output and
prices p MIR. Dorr asked the witness.
.Mr Sneff Ga director and vice pres
ident of the company told me such an
agreement had been entered into by the
Havemeycr and Elder Co.." answered
Gerbracht.
The witness, when asked If he
knew anything about the profits Of
| the fidNtfHtytf anu r<iuti iNchi'N's JN'N
prior to the formation of the Trust
agreement of 1887, said that j. o.
powney who received five per cent. Of
the profits of the company told him
that in 1885 he got sss.o0o as his share
100000 in 1856 and 100000 in 1887
After the anialgamation Downey told
him he was not doing as we'll.
did Mr. Downey ever sayNaanything
to you about the acquisition of a re-
hnery In California;"
This question caused vigorous pro-
test by the various attorneys for the
defendants on the ground that it was
prior to the supreme court decision IN
tile Knight case and therefore could
not be properly inquired into. After
the statement of this objection the
question was repeated to Gerbracht.

Be- tween the arroyo and the hills on the east'are many fine stretches of good, level land, some of them several Hundred acres in extent, susceptible of cultivation, upon some of which there had been raised crops of corn and sorghum for fodder, that had produced abundantly without irrigation, and were in the course of harvesting. The corn had been husked and laid in great piles in the fields, whence they will be conveyed to the corn crib at the house, and the sorghum had been cut when young and tender, cured and stacked, mak- ing very suculent and nutritious fodder of which horses and cattle are very fond. The corn raised was of the white flint variety mostly ears remarkably large in circumference, and of goodly length, with very large, hard kernels.
 Upon the rolling hills, and even in some places in the valley there is fine growth of goodly sized oak trees, the ground around literally strewn with fallen acorns, making fine feeding ground for drove of hogs, where the pork turned off would be we'll worth while, as we found at the evening meal when we were served with large slabs of delicious acorn fed pork that would have delighted the senses of an epicure. And in the hills what sites for peach and apple orchards!
 This region is in the same belt shown in a photographic map pub llshed many years ago by the Smithsonian Institute, which ex- tends in a northwesterly direction from the south end ot the Cananea mountains. through Arizona to the vicinity of Prescott, and is about sixty miles in width, wherein the annual precipitation exceeds twen- ty inches, embracing the Elgin and San Rafael region in Santa Cruz county, the San Pedro and Hua- chuta regions in Cochise county, the Santa Catalinas in Pima, Riverside and Ray in Pinal, and Walnut Grove in Yavapai counties.
 Up in the Jorota we4had a busy day. Neither of us had ever visited before the particular ground we were to examine. although my companion, who had been at the Cuitaca ranche some time back, had an idea of about where to look for it. Shortly we found the east line of monuments on one of the claims, and some of the monuments on the north and south ends, dis tance of about two miles between, and hard climbing in places to get over the ground. We found also the workings on one of the proper ties, which we inspected and meas ured up. We found also several good, strong mineral bearing lodges Shortly after noon our water gave out and Sanders proposed to ga down to the river and get fresh
