The Wise Man reading the
signs Of Spring, even if he does
need magnifying glass, wants
to know what's new in Spring
Overcoats.
We're ready with more noy-
elites than many day has seen.
Spring coats with raglan
shoulders.
Spring coats with split
sleeves" " which aren't split open
at all, but give the effect of the
raglan with a more attractive
shoulder.
Spring overcoats with belted
backs, and with cuffs in the
British style.
Silk Innings to the waist in
some coats-a new and happy
medium between the old stand.
ard shoulder or full silk Innings.
Soft rolling lapels lend an
easy and distinguished air to
not a few.
Rough cheviots in new color
combinations woven for us
among the Scottish hills.
The much heralded come
back of Blue for mems coats
appears in a variety Of attrac-
tive blush cloths. ri>o
With even more than our
usual variety of weaves in Ok
ford gray and black, there is
little excuse this year for the
oft heard complaint that there
is no variety in Spring over
coats.

Promises to Testify Days Fruits.
.KISSEL AFFIDAVIT ISSUED
Son of Man Who Was Indicted
Gives Out Statement Made
on His Deathbed.

One by one documents, letters and other
material were introduced and marked for
identification or in evidence by the prosecu-
ton throughout the court session yesterday
at the trial of John +. Parsons, Washing
ton r. Thomas and the other three men
indicted for conspiracy to restrain inter-
state trade. And one by one important wit
nesses. who will play telling part later
on in the trial, were called to identify or
to submit this documentary evidence upon
which the government will apparently rely
TO prove its case.
Men whose names are closely connected
with the sugar industry of the country made
a brief appearance before the jury, with a
promise to come back and tell what they
know of the financial transaction that Is
charged to have brought about the closing
Of the new refinery of the Pennsylvania
Sugar Refining Company, a rival in the
inception of the American Sugar Refining
Company.
Horace Havemeyer, son Of the late
Henry Q. Havemeyer, builder of the sugar
trust. came on the stand TO tell Henry y.
Wise. United States Attorney, that he had
been unable to find among his fathers
personal letters and papers anything that
had the least connection with the Segal
loan and the affair of the Pennsylvania
refinery James II. Post, president Of the
National Sugar Refining Company, of New
Jersey, one OF II. .. Havemeyer's close
associates in business, produced agree
ments and other documents bearing on
the transaction under trial, and no doubt
was left by the defence that he would he
matter in case the government should not
call him

Convicted Secretary Interested.

August Sprec ckcls, president OF the Fed
eral Sugar Refining Company and foe Of
the sugar trust. was in court. ready to be
called as a witness for the government.
And among the most attentive spectators
was Charles Il. Heike, former secretary Of
the American Sugar Refining Company,
who was convicted in the underweighing
and differentiation of imported sugar and
whose case is on appeal now. He, too,
will be called by the government
William II. Whteside, former secretary
of the Champion Construction Company, of
Philadelphia, Segal's company, which built
the refinery for the Pennsylvania Company,
was the first witness of the day. Mr.. Wise
asked him to produce various papers for
which the government had issued a sub
pnna, but Mr.. Whiteside said he had been
unable to find any.
He explained that he had been only a
dummy secretary, anyway, and that he
never had anything to Go with the COM
pany's transactions. But Mr.. Wise would
not accept this explanation, and forced the
witness to admit that he had not searched
Se9als offices for the desired papers. SO
Judge Hand ordered Mr.. Whiteside to re-
turn to Philadelphia Immediately and to do
his best TO find the papers mentioned in
the subpoena
De Lancey Nicoll, Of counsel for the de-
PENDANTS, took up the opportunity offered
to question Mr.. Whiteside as to some of
Segals financial transactions. Mr.. Nicolrs
evident desire to bring out the wildcat char
acter Of Segals financial schemes led to an
argument with Mr.. Wise, who objected to
Mr.. Nicoll's jocular remarks as intended to
put the governments case in queer light
with the jury. Mr.. NicOll insisted that he
had n right to discredit Segal because the
governments charges were based on the
mans assertions. and he promised to COM
pei the prosecutor to call SegaI as witness
Judge Hand stopped the argument, rul-
ing in favor of Mr.. Wise. He said II did
not matter on what information the indct-
ment was obtained. and the Prosecutor
could prove his charges in any way he
chose and call such witnesses as he thought
best for his cause

duced a number of checks from his father

kissel acted as an agent of the American
Sugar Company when IT lent 81, ,25O. 900 10
Segal. Young Kissel declared that he
wanted all the publicity possible, and when
II became apparent that the statement
made by Gustav kissel on his deathbed
on March II. 1911, would not become part
Of the evidence in the case. young Kssel
sent for copies of the affidavit and gave
them 10 the press.
The statement is denied that Gustav Kissel
ever entered into a conspiracy with the
other defendants. 1t 3cscribes how he first
met Segal and lent him money, and finally
how Scgal wanted large loan and he,
kissel. could not accommodate him. H. O.

loan without knowing who wanted the loan,

That document which Miss Cameron
whose real name is Emma Sturges' found
in Edwin Hawley's country home at Baby
Ion. Long Island, shortly after her bene-
factors death was a letter written by the
railroad man, and witnessed by his gar
dener and chauffeur, setting forth the pro-
vision he wished made for the young
woman who had managed his household.
And in accordance with the wishes ex-
pressed IN that letter the Hawley heirs
have decided To Miss Sturges both the coun-
try place at Babylon and the town house,
at No. 10 East Goth street. and have set
aside for her a sum of money sufficient 10
provide her with an income Of $4,000 year
