DAIRY BUSINESS PAYS.

on the farm and marketed in that way
instead of feeding into fat cattle as Is

of hogs and about 600 bushels OF wheat

Another Contention.
The government also contends that
10 procure immunity the testimony
given at the investigation must be OF
an discriminating character.
The conviction of Ieike was the
outcome of a series of proceedings
growing out of the sugar weighing
frauds. The government established
that holes had been bored into the gov
eminent scales on which the American
Sugar Refining Company's sugar was
weighed at the Havermeyer & Elder
dock in Brooklyn so that a wire could
be pressed against the beam and the
weight of the sugar cargoes reduced.
The company was required TO pay the
government ovcr 81 600 in customs,
out of which II had been defrauded-
The government claimed that Heike,
a. secretary and treasurer. could not
have possibly been ignorant of the
frauds. because he not only had before
him the government weights but the
weights of city" weighers on the same
docks BY whose weighing the sellers
OF the sugar imported insisted their
goods must be sold.
