Let me offer that stuff for sale and I'd

I took enough money from the purse in
the bag to buy a breakfast at a farm
house. and I was made to see that
there were folks who weren't honest
when they didn't have to be. The
glass Of milk set out for me to drink

cause I didn't make one the woman
said to me:
"Fellow. you had better be getting

the governments purpose being to
prove that each of the companies is a
trust in itself and has endeavored to
monopolize trade and commerce. It
will be contended that the three com
panies have %conspired illegally to form
and effort will also be made to show
that Henry o. Havemeyer acted in de-
f1ance Of the law when he secured pos
session of certain shares Of the Ma
honal Sugar Refining Company Of New
Jersey. the Utah-Idaho Sugar compa-
ny, the Great Western Sugar company
and the Continental Sugar company.

$50. 100000. the amount named in the
original incorporation papers on Jan.
II. 1891. to $75.OOO,O 900 in March, 1892,
and again to 0 1000. 600 in October,
1901.
Suit was fled by the government on
Nov. %, 1910. Answers to the indict-
ment were made by a number of de-
PENDANTS last February. In these an
swers 1t was denied absolutely that the
American Sugar Refining company was
now a monopoly, inasmuch as it refined
no more than 40 per cent Of the sugar
manufactured in the United States.
Large Independent refneries have been
started since the date of the American
company's incorporation, and these, ac-
c0rding to the answers fled in Feb
Fuary, do no less than As per cent Of
all sugar manufacturing in the coun-
try. In addition. Independent beet sug-
n factories have been set up whose
output, it is, alleged. equals at least IA
per cent of the sugar manufactured in
the country.
The government lawyers will have
sixty days Ia which to develop their
case. and chances are that 1t VIII be
well toward the middle of July before
the final presentation Of the govern.
ment's side Is made. After that the
defendants will have 1O5 days in which
to present their case to the referee.

afternoon made plea for more recogni-
ton of the police officer at the hands OF
Congress. before the District branch OF
the National Congress OF Mothers. a.
their monthly meeting at the Raleigh
Hotel.
I'VE have i'm the District 400 patrol
men," Maj. Sylvester said. After de-
Quoting the number necessary for duty
at the White House, courts and other
special details. this allows the great city
OF Washington but LOO patrolmen TO
guard 1t during the day and twice that
number during the night.
Il wonder how IL is that We have such
a small criminal: record here. with SO few
patrolmen to guard us and our property.
This is. L often think. an exceptionally
good community.
Appropriation Refused, He Says.
Maj. Sylvester pointed out that the
Washington police officer receives during
the first eight years of his service but So
a month about the same wages that are
paid to street car Conductors and that
the Washington patrolman must know
the 800 sections of the District code and
all the other laws of the District. He
said that millions of dollars are appro-
priated annually by Congress for the forest
reserve, for preserving the life OF the
buffalo. for holding back the waters OF
the Mississippi and for other purposes.
but that when the police department asks
for small appropriation to study man Il
Is refused.
