New York, May 1.-THE alleged
methods pursued by the Sugar Refin-

troll Of the sugar industry in America
were described today by Julius A.
Stursburg. up to 1887, treasurer of
the Brooklyn Sugar Refinery com
pany, in the governments dissolution
suit against the so-called sugar trust.
Mr. Stursburg said that although
the refineries company trustees held
the stock of the Brooklyn company,
among many others in the east. the
Brooklyn company was permitted to
run its own affairs. with the excep-
ton of fixing it's output. This was
fixed by the trustees, he said. These
trustees also instructed other COM
panies whose stock they held as to
how much sugar they could produce,
he said.
"All Of the profits of the Brooklyn
refinery were turned over to the
trustees, weren't they?' asked Mr.
Wise.
al think nearly ell the profits
we're. know that amounts were
turned over to the trustees from
time to time"
"What became of the rest of the
profits?"
''It was used as working capital
This, so far as the witness knew,
was the course pursued in all other
refineries controlled by the trustees.

respects to Dan R. Hanna of Cleveland
and Walter Brown Of Toledo. promin-
ent Roosevelt supporters. He spoke on
the same spot where his father Al
phonso Taft, spoke in the campaign
of 1856. 81
"Mr. Roosevelt says the interests
are for me-" said the president. Don't
you think this man has a great deal
of courage considering that he is sup
ported in northern Ohio. for instance,
by three newspapers owned and run
by Dan Hanna, when his very cam
paign of denunciation Of me as repre-
senting the interests is carried on with
money furnished by Dan Hanna, who
is associated with all the great cor
porate interests that center in and
about Cleveland?
walter Browns shoulders are
sprouting with angels wings because
he is supporting Mr.. Roosevelt. If he
were supporting me, he would be one
of the most vicious bosses in the
country. There Is great deal of
sham about such a campaign"

Ell Paso, Tex, May 17.-Indications
at noon today were that if General
Orozco is beaten in the approaching
engagement at Rellano, he will find
his retreat northward to Chihuahua
very difficult. Telegraphers in Juarez
admitted that the wires south Of Chi
huahua were being disturbed and fed
eral officials here say not only wire
communication but the railroad will
be destroyed behind Orozco to pre-
vent him from retreating northward.
This gave rise to the belief that a
force of federals had come in behind
the rebel army, and, though too small
to attack Orozco, they will set up
enough hindrances to make his re-
treat northward dangerous.
Advices from the city of Chihuahua
today indicated that residents feared
a rebel retreat might mean the loot
ing of the town and terrible disorders
by panic stricken rebels. Communica-
ton with the federal army was not
attempted today as the government
troops were reported journeying north
ward toward the rebel front.

SHOOTING.

Myetnulle, Va, May ll.-Floyd Al
len, flrst OF the tiilisvllle mountain
eers tried for the Carroll county court
mouse murders, was adJudged guilty
mere today and will pay the penalty
OF mis- crime in the electric cnalr ac
ricnmond. The jury was out ali
night.
Floyd Allen was charged specifical-
ly at this time with the murder OIL
Commonwealth Attorney Foster, pros
ecutor in the Carroll county court at
lilllsville last March, when the trial
ot Floyd Alien eliminated in the kill
ing of five persons-Presidlng Judge
Thornton l.. Massie, Prosecutor viii
liam Nj. Foster, Sheriff l.. f. Webb,
Miss Elizabeth Ayres and Juror Au-
gustus Fowler.
Arrests of several OF the Aliens fol-
lowed the shooting, but i've OF the
principals escaped to the mountains.
Rewards for their arrest resulted in
three of them being taken but Sidna
Allen, leader of the clan and Wesley
Edwards, his nephew, still are at
large. The other prisoners, it is ex-
pected, will be tried Immediately.
Sentence was not pronounced on
Allen today as he may be called to
testify in the other cases. Allen
was very cheerful today preceding
the announcement of the verdict, in
expectation of mistrial, but when
the verdict was announced he relaxed
into despair.
There was barely a handful of per-
sons in court. Whether this was be-
cause of fear that the Aliens might
attempt to repeat the scene enacted
at Hillsville is not known, but there
was no reason for such fears. Armed
detectives searched persons entering
the court room.
