Against the utah-Idaho Sugar Com
pany, Three Instances Of Excessive
Charges Being Alleged.

Salt Lake City.-Charges of selling

price are made against the Utah-Idaho

with the clerk of the Second judicial
district court OF the United States

ed before Henry v. Van Pelt, United

bond In the amount of $4,000.
The complaint, which was sworn to
before Mr.. Won Pelt by Floyd II. Jack
son, acting special agent Of the de-
partment of justice, accuses the sugar
company of selling and delivering to
the Anderson-Taylor company 100 bags
of sugar at $23.838 a bag on May /,
and 125 bags at $22.75 a bag on May 4.
1t is set forth in the complaint that
this sugar cost the Utah-Idaho Sugar
company approximately $3.50 to pro-
duce and, therefore, the price at which
it was sold to the Anderson Taylor
company was an unfair, unjust and
unreasonable rate, and In conse-
quence the manufacturer, by making
this sale at the prices named violated
the federal act prohibiting an uR-
reasonable profit on foodstuffs.
The sugar company is charged in
three counts with violation of the Lee
yer act. In the first two counts the
company is accused Of knowingly,
Wilfully, unlawfully and feloniously
making an unjust and unreasonable
rate and charge in handling and deal
ing In sugar" by selling to the Ander-
son-Taylor company 100 bags of sugar
at the rate OF $23.s3S a hundred
pounds. In the third count the same
accusation is made on the sale of 125
bags at $22.75 to the same company.

hurler, and when the hurler gets into
a tight place Ivy tries to think of all
the kind things he can say, instead
OF yelling at the finger and otherwise
exhibiting a full-grown peeve.
Praise From Toney.
Fred Toney OF the Giants recently
declared he lever saw such a patient
receiver as Wingo, and this confession
was made before Ring or Ruether
broke into print with a good word for
Ivy. In every assignment In the re-
cent worlds series Wfngo acquitted
himself with great credit, exhibiting a
grand throwing arm, directing his
pitchers with rare judgment and re-
spending with a wallop as often as
such could be expected from the ordi-
nary receiver.
Umpires are all strong for Wingo be-
cause he fusses about decisions.
He fights for everything he thinks ii
his, but he withdraws from the battle
when a verdict is rendered. Pat Mo-
ran has a pair Of stars in Wfngo and
Rariden, and a genuine conner In Allen,
who had little chance TO show his abil-
fty last yea.

Ivy WingO, Cincinnati catcher, may
not be regarded generally as q star

speed.
Just as the train neared a curve
beyond the station limits, which swings
around a high bank, the outbound
train from Portland came in sight two

emergency brakes applied on both the
trains, they met head-on, with speed
