today. began its work of taking testi-
mony in its suit for the dissolution of
the American Sugar Refining Co. by
introducing statements of the former
head of the company, Henry Q. HAY
emeyer, five years dead. The question
of admission of this testimony as evil
dence brought about clash between
the government and council for de-
fence, who declared that the testimony
was privileged. immaterial. incompe-
tent or irrelevant. United States Dis
trict Attorney Wise insisted that the
testimony was material to the suit, as
supporting the governments conten-
ton that the company sold its product
at Improbable prices until it had van
quished opposition and then recouped
its Losses by selling at exorhitant
rrices.

was that given by Mr.. Havemeyer be-

winner over Johnny Waltz of New York
in a bout characterized by remarkable
display of gameness by the defeated
fighter, at the opening of the Marieville

awarded to Bergin in the 18th round OF
what was scheduled to have been a 10
round contest, after Waltz had been
knocked down 10 times. The New York
er was the favorite and appeared to be
the better man in the opening rounds,
but after the fourth round 1t became
evident that he was in poor condition
and was repeatedly fioored. Bergin's lack
of science and his inability to land q tell
ing blow alone saved his dazed adversary
from a knockout.
