SUGAR CASE GOES ID THE JURY TODAY Judge Charges Jury This
 Morning
WAS A DRAMATIC DAY
District Attorney Wise Compares the Defendant to a "Buzzard" and Charges That He Did Not
 Tell Truth on the Stand

New York, March 29.-The fate of John F. Parsons, Washington B. Thomas, George H. Frazier and Arthur Donner, officers of the American Sugar Refining company, on trial for alleged violation of the criminal clause of the Sherman law, will be in the hands of the jury tomorrow. After day of dramatic and impassioned pleading by the opposing attorneys, Judge Hand adjourned court until tomorrow, when he will give his charge to the jury.
 Arguments Bitter
 The arguments today of the attorneys were characterized by bitter denunciaton. John F. Parsons, the octogenarian law yer former counsel for the sugar trust" broke down and wept after Delancey Nicoll had pictured him "bowed down into the grave with shame and sorrow if convicted
 District Attorney Wise compared the de- fendants to "buzzard," and accused MT. Parsons of not telling the truth in regard to certain letters alleged to be missing from the files of the American Sugar Re- lining company and supposed to relate to the s1, ,2500O0 loan made by Gustave Kis- sell to Adolph Segal, by which the "trust' is accused of obtaining control of Segals refinery.
 Parsons says he knows nothing about them," shouted MT. Wise. "I tell you that Is not so."
 What if Adolph Segal did promote many enterprises using dummies? D con- tinued the prosecutor. Every big cor poration was organized with dummy direc- tors and officers. The steel trust, the railroads and others It is the case of these men sitting in their luxurious of- fees rolling in wealth, reaching out their greedy hands and choking to death com- petitor who may take some of their profits away. That is what you have to consider and that alone.

Sample of Competition

"Oh, yes, they cried cut throat competl- tion.' They said Segal set up cut throat competiton.' Here Is a sample of cut throat competition Here is a letter from the manager of the Spreckels plant to the American Sugar Refining company. In this letter it points out that the new re- finery in Philadelphia is about to open and as they already have a number of good men it would be wise to tie up our good men with contracts so they can't leave us and go with the Philadelphia plant. That was honorable business, wasn't 1t? That's what I call cut throat competition. It's worse; it's highway robbery. Even before they thought of con- spring to get control of the plant they were taking steps to hinder them. Oh, yes, the sugar trust played fair with it's competitors. It robbed them, that's what it did
 The prosecutor accused the defendants of putting all the blame on dead men. Every bad thing that was done was done by somebody now dead" he said sarcastcally.

Millions for tuberculosis Work
 Money to the amount of over SI4,- 500,000 was spent in anti-tuberculosis work during the year 1911, according to the third annual statement of ex- penditures in the war against con sumption issued by the National Asso- citation for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis. The statement is based largely on reports received from anti-tuberculosis agencies in all parts Of the United States.
 By far the largest item of expense was that for treatment in sanatorta and hospitals, and for the erection of institutions of this kind, over S11,80O,- GOO being spent for this purpose alone. Dispensaries for the examina- tion and treatment of tuberculosis spent sS50000, and associations and committees In their educational cam paign against tuberculosis spent s500,- 900. The remaining s1,300,O00 was spent for treatment in open-air schools, prisons and hospitals for the insane, and also for the work Of state and local boards of health against tuberculosis.

NOTED CAREER ENDS
John BigeloW, a Famous DipIo-

Fame Won as Editor and Representa-. tive of America in France Dur Ing Civil War-His lifs's
 Span 94 Years.

New York.-John Bigelow. Sr.. dip- lomatist and author, died at his home in this city, aged ninety-four years.
 MT. Bigelow, sometimes termed the "hrst gentleman of New York" was almost the last connecting link be- tween the great men of the first half or the nineteenth century and the present day. Born at Maiden, Ulster county, N. r., in 1877. of a well.known Family. he was prominently associated with the great men and the determin. Ing movements of the country during his entire life.
 n ls49. at the invitation Of William Cullen Bryant. MT. Bigelow became an editor of the New York Evening Post, in which position he continued until 1860. Under his editorship the paper came to a great influence.
 Sainte BeuYe's critical letters were published under his supervision. Walt Whitman was a reporter and later a War correspondent under Mr. Bigelow. Artemus Ward worked for the paper at the time; and it was at this period that Bret Harte was remarkably regular at the office on pay days"
 MT Bigelow's series Of articles on the effects of slavery in the West h. dies worked up some of the feeling which made Lincoln't election DOS sibe in 1860, and at the emancipator's urging the editor went as minister to France during the trubGlous times of the civil war.
 In France Mir. Bigelow succeeded to much tho same power and position that Benjamin Franklin and Thomas Jefferson had held more than 50 years previously.
 It was at this time that Mir. Bige- low discovered Franklin's "Autobiog- raphy, of which he edited the author itatiye edition. Later Life of Ben jamin Franklin" was written and edited.

PlTIFUL SIGHT WITH ECZEMA

"A few days after birth we noticed an intlamed spot on our baby's hip which soon began spreading until baby was completely covered even in his eyes, ears and scalp. For eight weeks he was bandaged from head to foot. He could not have a stitch of clothing on. Our regular physician pronounced it chronic eczema. He is very able physician and ran.s with the best in this locality, nevertheless, the disease began spreading until baby was completely covered. He was losing flesh so rapidly that we be- came alarmed and decided to try Cuti- cura Soap and Ointment.
 Not until l commenced using Cuti- cura Soap and Ointment could We tell what he looked like. as we dared not wash him, and had been putting one application after another on him. On removing the scale from his head the hair came off, and left him entirely bald, but since we have been using Cuticura Soap and Ointment he has as much hair as ever Four weeks alter We began to use the Cuticura Soap and Ointment he was entirely cured. don't believe anyone could have eczema worse than our baby.
 Before We used the Cuticura Rem- edies We could hardly look at him, he was such pitiful sight He would fuss until I would treat him, they semed to relieve him so much Cuti- cuHa Soap and Ointment stand by themselves and the result they quick ly and surely bring is their own rec ommendation."

 Considerable rivalry has been eX' cited among the farmers of this neighborhood in ability to grow prodigies in the various agricultural products It was started early this fall when Frank Kuhl produced some enormous ears of corn. Others sprang up from time to time to claim recog- nition. but Rev. Mir.

PUBLIC FUNDS AID THE WORK
Gratifying Sign That the People Are Awake to Value of Fight Against
 Tuberculosis.

Compared with the expenditures for tuberculosis work in 1910, those of the past year are practically the same fin the aggregate, but they are almos. double those of 1909. The National Association for the Study and Proven uon or Tuberculosis, in it's third an uual statement, points out, however. what It considers more significant than the aggregate expenditures, namely, that the percentage of money spent from public funds Is greater in l9ll than ever before, being 662 per cent Of the total In 1909 only 53.5 per cent of the total expenditures was from public funds, and in 1910 1t had increased to GAG per cent. In 1911 over s9,60Q,00 of the $14.500. .O00 spent was from federal, state, munici- pal or county funds. Since the chief work of the anti-tuberculosls associa- tons Is to urge the public authorities to provide for tuberculosis patients. and thus to assume the responsibility for stamping out this disease, the in- creased percentage of public money IS regarded as very favorable sign of progress.
 Appropriations of over $10.00O GOO for tuberculosis work in 1912 have al ready been made by state legislatures and municipal and county bodies. Of this sum about s4,700,000 is from state appropriations, and about s5,- 100000 for county and municipal Tr,
 the federal government spends about $1,o00,000 every year supporting it's several special tuberculosis sanatoria.
