u. S. PROBES TO
SHOW SUGAR PLOT
Director drilled by Federal At.
tOrney BareS Secrets of
Deals Made.

Testimony that was regarded as favor
able TO the government was given yester-
day by Henry +. Niese, manufacturing
director OF the American Sugar Refining
Company. in the governments suit TO dis
solve the alleged sugar trust. The gov
eminent contended that the combination
bought up refneries and dismantled them
TO shorten the supply and raise prices.
Mr.. Niese admitted under cross-eXam-
nation by James r. Knapp attorney for
the government. that the American had
two refneries. capable Of producing 800
900 pounds daily, lying idle when II pur-
chased the Camden. n. j.. refinery. with
inadequate shipping facilities and the
buildings in need OF more than 500 900 for
repairs. The witness admitted that a new
plant would have cost only $4,000.
The witness also said that in 1886 the
American had three reserve" plants ly-
ing idle. whose daily capacity WAS 3ooO. 90
pounds. The purpose OF the reserve"
refineries. he said. was TO maintain out
put in time Of fire or accident TO other
plants For example. he said, the De
Castro and Donnar plants were Idle until
the Dick and Meyer refneries burned. IN
1889.
Mr.. Knapp tried In vain TO make the
witness admit that he had been instructed
to buy land adjoining an independent re-
fnery which was in course of construc-
ton in Longmont, Col.
The witness said however. that he got
an option on the best available site in
Longmont. which was next to the new
refinery"

The Republican defeat Of 1872 Senator
Cummins declared, had been the result Of

said. because some Of the men clothed

SMALLPOX EPIDEMIC
NOW A POSSIBILITY
Two More Cases DiSCOv-
cred Here-Health De-
partment Worried.

with the discovery Of two more cases
OF smallpox in this city yesterday, off,
Gals of the Department OF Health
sought in no way 10 conceal their be-
lief that an epidemic may develop.
They were the more worried because
one was directly traceable TO a case
that developed here recently.
Both the new cases were negroes.
Charity Jones. twenty-five years old,
of 9 West 18th St, and John Lubbock,
thirty years old. of 34S West 4lst st.
Charity Jones was laundress for fam
lily at AS Central Park West, which
was visited recently by a Mrs. Oldham.
Of Jacksonville, Fla. When Mrs. Old
fering with smallpox and she had been
exposed TO the disease.
After she arrived here Mrs. Oldham
was stricken, and is now In the Kings
ton Avenue Hospital, Brooklyn. She
had visited several department stores,
big drug store and a well known
place OF amusement when the disease
was in It's early stages. DR.. Goldwater
has had all employees in these places
vaccinated.
On Wednesday evening Charity
Davis, the laundress, was stricken.
Vaccinators Immediately went through
the house where she lived.
DR.. Mowry, of 800 West 42d st. re-
ported yesterday morning that Lubbock
had smallpox. He was Immediately re-
moved to the Kingston Avenue Hos
pital. In the house where Lubbock
lived were twenty-five families. There
were FIVE persons in his own family
and the negro had been Ill for three
days. Inspectors vaccinated all. The
source Of the disease in this case could
not be determined.
Smallpox IS now in evidence over a
widespread area in this country.
There are many cases in Pennsylvania
and in sections OF the South. Niagara
Falls and several other places upstate
have been the scenes OF outbreaks

made it's appearance at Dongan Hills,
Staten Island
Investigation has given the milk and
water supplies a clean bill of health. In
the Baysde region 1t was found that
large percentage Of the disease was
among the foreigners. In many instances
parents had failed TO call in physicians
when children we're stricken.
Since the latter part of 1918 there have
been thirty-thTee cases reported from
this section Of the city. OF that number
one-third have been among children in
Public School 81. Three stages that are
used to transport the pupils to their
homes have been disinfected and the

In the Dongan Hills section Of staten
Island there were twenty-three cases OF
scarlet fever up TO April 4 Thirteen OF
these developed in February and twelve
in March. 1t was found that parents had
let their children return to school too

Snow Crv,tals.

The wonderful variety of form Of
snow CRYSTALS has been known only to
modern times To the ancient weather
observer snow was snow and nothing
more. 1t sometimes fell in broad,
fluffy flakes. sometimes in q powdery
consistence. sometimes with an edge
us keen as a razor. These few varia-
tons. however. enabled the weather
wise To make certain representation
as to the severity and probable length
of storm, the continuance of bad, or
the approach of good weather. In the
Book of Job "the treasures of the
snow" are spoken of but that glittering5
generality fades into insignificance
when the real beauty of the snow
particles is disclosed by the micro
scope. With some exceptions the
snowflake figure is stellar, q star OF
six arms or points forming angles of
60 degrees. 1t frequently happens that
the spicular arms of the figure are
featured with other and smaller spic-
ul;e. all meeting their respective stems
at an angle of 60 degrees or loaded
with heXagonal ,prisnls, all of which
have, of course. the same angles. The
srst observation of the forms of snow
Particles was made by Scoresby, the
nrctic explorer, about the year 1920,
and for time it was supposed that
they assumed these remarkable figures
of which Scoresby noted Hbout IL
only in the polar region Later OBJ
elsewhere have discovered
many more of these paragonN Of geo.
