D. S. TO PUSH SUGAR SUIT
NEGOTIATIONS HAVE COME TO
ABRUPT HALT.
Department of Justice Officials De-
cline to Discuss Points on Which
Proposed Adjustment Failed.

Washington, d. C.-Negotiations
between the American Sugar Refining
company and the department of JUS
tice have come to an abrupt halt, and
unless the so-called trust agrees to
meet demands for a reorganization,
the pending suit to dissolve it under
the Sherman antitrust act will be
pressed with vigor.
All week officials had been hopeful
recent conferences between Attorney
General McReynolds and Snowden
Marshall, United States district attor-
ney at New York, would result in a
peaceful settlement of the suit, filed
more than three years ago.
This hope was shattered when word
came from New York that the nego-
tiations had failed. Department Of
ticials declined to discuss the case and
the exact points which failed of adj
justment.
Although the department can do
nothing except continue it's prosecu-
ton, it is not denied that an about
face by the sugar company and a de-
sire to meet the government require
ments probably would elead to a re-
opening of negotiations. -.
This is the first failure of negotia-
tons Of this sort since the American
Telephone and Telegraph company
pointed a way by which "big bust
ness" might avoid long litigation in
the courts.

MORSE ASKS CLEAR NAME

N. Y. BANKERS.
Former "Iee King" Urges Senate Com.
mittee to Investigate Why He
Mas Sent to P~enitentiary.

Washington, d. C.-Charles w.
Morse. the former ice king, one of
the most spectacular figures in mod
ern American finance and the princi-
pal actor in a drama that lasted for
a half dozen years and carried him
from the banking regions of New York
10 the Atlanta penitentiary, is about
to write another chapter to his his
tory.
After months of patient investiga-
ton and labor, Morse is trying 10
launch an investigation by a congress
sional committee of all the circum-
stances which led up to his conviction
six years ago for violation of the ma
tional banking laws. Although his
plans have not been announced, it he
came known here that he also con
templates suit for damages against
prominent New York bankers and
other persons connected with his trial
and conviction.
Morse was in Washington for a few
hours. He had a talk with Senator
Borah of Idaho, and suggested to him
the need for an investigation of his
case by a senate committee The
Idaho senator refused to press the
matter.
Morse was sent to the Atlanta peni-
Tertiary to serve a 15-year sentence.
After a persistent fight, led by Mrs
Morse and backed by prominent per

sl0,000,l00 FOR CHARITY
CARNEGIE DONATES soNps TO
SCOTTISH SOCIETY.
Iron Master Further curtails His Per.
sonal Fortune Instead of Calling
Upon New York Corporation.

New York.-Andrew Carnegie re-
Gently reduced his fortune by
$4,000, 900, it has just become known,
in making a gift of that amount to
the Carnegie United Kingdom Trust
in Dunfermline, Scotland.
At a recent meeting of the trustees
of this trust the fact was disclosed
that C%arnegie's gift of $10,000,000 in
bonds of the United States Steel Cor
%poration, designed for the fund, had
been registered in the name of the
Carnegie Dunfermline Trust, which is
distributing Carnegie's benefaotions in
his old home town. Steps were taken
to have the bonds transferred to the
United Kingdom Trust.
This means that Carnegie further
curtailed his personal fortune to the
extent of $40, 900, 900. instead of calling
upon the Carnegie Corporation of New
York, in which he has set apart mil.
lions to supply benevolent funds. Car
negie said he felt the gift would be
appreciated more if it came from his
W pocket than from the New York
corporation.

Aurora, Ill.-A murder mystery
is believed to have been solved
when a Maltese cat escaped from its
cage at the Aurora cat show, bit and
scratched several women and men and
frightened spectators into a panic be-
fore being captured by the police.
The cat belonged to John Jenkins, a
hermit of Bald Mound, who was found
dead in his lonely shack. A coro-
ner's jury examined the wounds on the
victims throat and face and returned
a verdict Of murder. Mrs. Elsie
Shackley of Lombard took the cat fol-

Attorney General to coIls.s Fines.

Jefferson City-Attorney General
John T. Barker, while not in posses
sion of the details Of the opinion OF
the attorney general Of nibIois that
the fines assessed against the lumber
companies by the Missouri suprems
court are not eoIlectible in that state,
is convinced he must be laboring un-
der a misconception Of the character
of the suits. He made the following
statement:
"AIl 'of the states recognize judg-
ments Of sister states. This is ac-
cording to the doctrine of comfy.
There can be no question but that a
judgment of the Missouri supreme
court can be collected in any state
In the Union"
He is at a loss to understand upon
what theory the attorney general of
Illinois could arrive at the conclusion
that the judgments against the lum-
Der companies are not collectible in
that state.
Such a conclusion is entirely at va
rance with the doctrine OF comfy ex'
listing in the relations of the states
with each other, and without which
there would be a bar to a great deal
Of litigation that is going on all the
time, he says.
1t is an easy enough process for an
individual litigant to collect a judg-
ment rendered against a defendant
who has removed to another state
after judgment has been filed against
him, and, according to the view of
Attorney General Barker, it is easier
still for a state to collect a judgment
In its favor in a sister state.
There is no certainty as to the date
when the court en- banc win meet to
pass upon the motions for modifica-
lions and ~rehearing.

SEPARATE FROM INCOME TAX
All Corporations Are Divided Into
Five Classes for Convenience in

Jefferson City.-The prosperity of
Missouri during 1913 is, to a large
extent, shown by the gain in number
reporting and those assessed over last
year in Missouri corporations subject
to the special federal corporation tax,
and the increase In their annual net
income, announces Commissioner
John t, Fitzpatrick of the bureau of

In Missouri, 1855 made returns to
the United States for the year 1913, as
compared to 12,437 for 1912, a gain in
number reporting of 378.
For corporations, every dollar in ex-
ces of $4,000 in actual profits is now
taxed by Uncle Sam.
The net increase of the Missouri
corporations which made returns for
1913 to the federal authorities was
$~124,722,375, as compared to 1912,
when it was $105, 1857, a gain in IL
months of s19,533, 1853. This increase
in earnings occurred chiefly for. the
corporations of st. Louis, Kansas City,
st. Joseph, Hannibal, Springfield, Jop-
lin, Sedalia, Carthage, Cape Girar-
deau and Jefferson City, but those OF
small towns and the rural sections got
a share OF 1t.

Glass d. Mercantile companies.
Glass e. Miscellaneous companies.
The income tax on individuals
whose annual income exceeds $4,000
has been assessed and is being col
lected by the federal revenue officers
assigned to the two revenue districts
which compose Missouri--the First and
the Sixth. Just how much the mil
lionaires of Missouri will pay into the
United States treasury for this tax
has not been definitely determined,
but it is estimated it will not fall short
of 81, 900, 900.

Preside, Tex.-About $500 Mexican
federal soldiers, six Mexican generals,
200, 900 rounds of ammunition, two
cannons, four larfge field pieces and
1900 civilian refugees are in the GUS
tody of the United States army border
patrol as the result of the federal
army's evacuation Of Ojinaga. Mexico,
its flight to American territory and
the occupation of the Mexican village
by Gen. Francisco Villas rebel forces.
The distress of the refugees is in
tense. They have scant food and no
shelter. Men, women, children, dogs,
chickens and cattle are packed to-
gether in a space covering several
acres. About them are scattered all
the wreck and turmoil which they
brought in fleeing from the Ojinaga
battle.
The rebel victory places Gen. Villas
army in ~undisputed control of a vast
section of northern Mexico.
Federal Generals Mercado, Castro,
Orpinal, Romero, Aduno and Landa
are in custody of the United States
troops awaiting their disposition by

Gen. Pascual Orozco ana Gen. Ynez
Salazar, federal volunteer command
ers, escaped along the border to some
point remote from Preside. Salazar
was wounded. They were accom-
panied by Gen. Caraveo and Gen. Ro-
jas and 800 cavalrymen. Salazar and
Orozco are being watched for in the
United States on indictments charg.
ing them with violating the neutrality
laws.
Gen. Landa said he was certain all
the federal generals escaped the
rebels.
Charges of co~wardize we're made
against Orozco. Salazar and Rojas.
Gen. Mercado said these generals
abandoned their troops at the begin
ming of the battle and thus weakened
the federais' defense.
The only generals who quit the bat
tlefeld with honor, Gen. Mercado said,
were those who accompanied the fed
eral army across the Rio Grande. Gen.
Mercado reiterated that the federals
were compelled to evacuate because
of lack Of ammunition. He said at the
retreat his soldiers had an average of
only rs cartridges.
Camped in Oiinaga, for the posses.
sion Of which he had been fighting
less than "a hours previously, Gen.
Villa started the work of establishing
a rebel government. He telegraphed
to Gen. Carranza: Il have proved my
ability to capture Ojinaga."
After the confusion incident to the
evacuation of Oiinaga by one army
and it occupation by another, the
battlefield over Preside reveals a
scene of desolation.
