"REsELLIoN- CHIEFS GUILTY.
Michigan Men Convicted Of Illegally
Possessing Liquor.

BY Associated Press.
Marquette, Mich, April 23.-The
three Scalcucci brothers, on trial in
federal court on a charge Of Illegally
possessing liquor in connection with
the whisky rebellion" in Iron coun-
ty. were found guilty by jury. In
imposing a fine of 800 each Judge c.
W. Sessions blamed Prosecuting At
torney McDonough for the convic-
tons.
u am satisfied you acted on some
OF his advice. and you were both mis-
directed and misadvised," Judge Ses-
sions told the brothers. adding to the
jury: IT do not believe the evidence
in this case shows premeditated vio-
lation of the law"
The Judge asserted the notoriety
given the Iron River fasco was the
most unfortunate fact in connection
with IT. "a mountain has been made
out Of a molehill and there has been
foolish and boyish conduct on both
sides" he said.
Testimony during the trial showed
that McDonough was adviser of the
Scalcucci brothers and that practi-
cally everything they did after state
police began action to seize their
wine was done under his direction.
Under cross-examination John
Scalcucci admitted a wooden parti-
ton was built in the basement Of the
store to conceal the wine upon Nc
Donough's advice. Iron River off,
Gals testified McDonough ordered
the taking of the wine from state
troopers, acting with Leo J. Grove.

peninsula
The legality Of Groves seizure Of
the liquor was not decided by the
jury. Federal agents here intimated
Maj. A. v. Dalrymple might press
charges against McDonough for in
reference with enforcement Of the
law.

SUGAR CONFERENCE CALLED.
Attorney General Palmer Summons
Refiners to Washington.

Attorney General Palmer Summons
Reflnsrs to Washington.
Washington. April 2S.-The sugar
shortage. soaring prices and reports
Of corners and pronteering caused
Attorney General Palmer to summon
tho heads Of the big sugar rehneries
to Washington for q conference next
Monday.
The attorney general, who is under
FIRE in congress for allowing the
Louisiana planters nearly three times
as much for their sugar this year as
was allowed last year. declined TO
discuss his move and con-
tented himself with stating that
he was in search OF first hand infor-
nation on the sugar situation.
Howard Figg. the attorneys prof.
teering expert who sent out the invi-
tations to the refiners, was equally
reticent.
There has been a recurrence OF the
sugar famine recently which was at
tributed at first to the interference
with ransportation caused by the
switchmen's strike. There Is practi-
cally no sugar in Washington today
where it has been selling at p cents
a pound and dealers expect it to be
25 cents or higher when a new sup
ply is obtained.
Six months ago Mr.. Ffgg thought
sugar would not go higher than Is
cents, this year.
Within the last few days much has
been heard about a sugar corner ma
ripulated by eastern dealers, and
prosecutions Of alleged protiteers
Rave been started In New York.
The cause Of the shortage and the
high prices Is generally attributed
primarily to the refusal OF President
Wilson to accede to the request OF
the sugar equalization board last
summer that II be empowered to
purchase and distribute in this coun-
try the new Cuban cane crop, which
could have been had then for less
than cents a pound.
Cuban raw sugar is now selling at
1914 cents a pound. Representative
Tinkham of Massachusetts, at whose
instance the house undertook the In
vestigation of Attorney General
Planners responsibility for the high
prices, says the Cuba raw sugar at
1871 cents means a retail price OF
from 80 to s5 cents when the re-
fined product reaches the market.
