Judge Hand
 Admits Thomas
 Letters To Trial
(Speciai from United Press.)

Especial from United Press.)
 New York, March 21-The govern ment scored distinct victory in the trial of the sugar trust officials today, when Judge Hand reversed himself and permitted the introduction of letters written to President Washington B. Thomas of the trust, by his cousin, David B. Stetson, of Philadelphia. These letters, which were first made public at the Congressional investiga- tion of the sugar trust, show that Thomas appealed to his relative, who was a member of the Manufacturers Club of Philadelphia, to which Adolph Segal also belonged, to get him the exact facts on Segal's financial condi- ton.
 AS a result of this information, the government alleges, the conspiracy to get control of the Pennsylvania Sugar Refining Company resulted
 Samuel Tntermyer, the noted corpor- ation lawyer, testified that he had call ed ;ofA~Xohp E. Parsons, attorney for thf on behalf of Segal, who W to open his refinery. He said he Parsons Segal could not repay thu if he were not allowed to earn the money by operating the refinery. Parsons told him, Untermyer said, when the s1,250.000 loan was exchang- ed, the trust would turn over the property to Segal. Untermyer said that he had suggested that Segal would willingly limit the output of his refinery to one-third of it's capacity if he could get permission to operate.

Good Roads Needed

There is no section of the state
of Kansas, where little work on
the roads will accomplish so much
good for so many people, as 1t
will in Seward and adjoining coun-
ties. While there is no good roads
organization here, We believe that
when the matter has been brought
to the attention of the people OF
the community, that the work will
be done. This year two of the
townships have asked for a road
tax. While this will not bring in
a great revenue, it will help some.
1t is. true, however, that the funds
for doing this work are not, and
will not soon be, adequate for the
demands. 1t will devolve upon
the citizens to show their loyalty
by getting out again this year and
donating considerable work for
the benefit of the farmers who
have long hauls to market, for the
purpose of giving a farm favor
able advertising because of the
good roads around it, and for the
purpose Of making 1t less difficult
to drive from one neighbors to an
other, there is nothing quite 50
good as fine roads. The social, as
we'll as the business life OF any
community is affected by the roads
in that vicinity. There is no ex-
ception. With the present crop
prospects, we will have a great
deal of hauling to do this fall, and
this is the time, right now, to gel
busy and fix them. In several
communities, there will be work
done on the roads within the next
ten days. How IS it in your neigh
