Stepchild Accuses
Brothers ON Trial
I'm Woman's Death
Girl, Is, Tells of Mothers
Outcry Against Operation
Which Husband Is Said
to Have Forced Upon Her

Emanuel Psaki, of zoos Bay Park
way, Brooklyn, and his brother, DR.
Constantine Psaki, who has Offices in
Manhattan, were placed on trial yes
terday in Supreme Court, Brooklyn
before Justice Cropsey and a jury
charged with manslaughter in the first
degree.
The charge resulted from the death
Of Mrs. Emanuel Psaki last March, de-
clared to have been the outcome of an
operation performed by DR.. Constan-
tine Psaki on demand OF the husband
and against the will of the wife. Mrs
Psaki pleaded that she be permitted
to give birth to child, the prosecution
asserts. but was overruled by Psaki
who with three men to aid him, it is
charged, forcibly compelled her to sub
NIT to the operation. DR.. Edward Leon
beim of East Seventy Street
Manhattan, also accused of having as
sisted at the operation, demanded a
separate trial. which was granted.
Herbert 7. Warbasse, Assistant Dis
trict Attorney, in his opening state
ment to the jury, charged that Psaki
had told his wife he did not want any
more children. The Psakis had one
old, Mrs. Psaki's daughter by previ-
Gus marriage, The daughter was the
first witness called. She related a con
versation she had overheard between
Mr.. and Mrs. Psaki in which Psak
said, she declared, that her mother
had "better get away with this child
and the sooner the better" The girl
said her mother replied: Emanuel
it's no use talking-I Will not have an
operation performed"
Miss Canto then told of her fathers
attitude toward children. She declared
she heard him say:
"Children are no use in the world
l haven't done a thing for my mother
Children are nothing but trouble. We
have enough trouble as it is"
Describing the circumstances sur
rounding the operation, Miss Cantc
said she was in her room last February
26 when she heard a piercing scream
from her mothers room, which was
next door. She ran there and beat or
the door with her fists, demanding tc
know what was being done to hen
mother. She said DR.. Loenbeim came
out of the room and led her away, say,
ing:
Don't worry. We are just perform
ing a slight operation. A little girl
should not be here
DR.. Psak took the stand and denied
having attended Mrs. Psaki on the day
mentioned. He offered evidence that
on the date named by Miss Canto he
was busy all day in attendance on othe,
patients. The trial will continue to
day.

Decree Ending
Sugar Trust
Suit Approved
Dausherty Holds American
Refining Co. Has Reformed
Since 1910 and Is Not
Trade Monopoly To-day
Says Public Is Guarded
Federal Court Here to Act
Soon on Recommends
ton of Attorney General

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2o.-A draft of
decree to be submitted Immediately
to the United States District Court in
New York, finally disposing of the
pending antitrust suit against the
American Sugar Refining Company, was
approved to-day by Attorney General
Daugherty.
The decree, Mr.. Daugherty said, fully
safeguards the interests of the public,
and it is believed that the consumer
now may rest assured that the price
he pays for his sugar in the future
will be the result of natural, unre-
strained competition.
The suit against the American Sugar
Refining Company, it was explained,
was begun by the Department of Jus
tice in November, 1910, the taking of
testimony proceeding over q period of
several years. Some months ago an in
vestigation was instituted to ascertain
existing conditions in the industry,
which resulted in the action taken to-
day.
Recognizes Reforms
In substance the Attorney General
says the decree finds that combina-
tion in restraint of the trade and COM
merce in refined sugar existed at and
prior to the fling of the petition in
1910, but recognizes the changes which
have taken place in the industry which
may be largely attributed to the pend
ency of the suit. The company, he
continues, has sold the stocks of many
corporations, it's ownership of which
was challenged by the petition, and in
other companies has divested itself
of portion of it's holdings and of
control of these companies. so that
it no longer occupies the dominant po-
sition in the industry which it held
at the time of the filing of the pc
tition.
"The Decree" he continues, "fully
safeguards the interests of the public
by prohibiting the American Sugar Re-
timing Company from taking any part
whatsoever in the management of the
National Sugar Refining Company, the
Great Western Sugar Company or the
Michigan Sugar Company, being impor-
tant companies in which it now owns
a minority interest, and further pro-
Company, directly OR indirectly, from
increasing its proportionate interests
in any OF such companies
"The decree further enjoins all of the
defendants from in any manner what
soever continuing to carry on the COM
bination in the marketing of refined
sugar, which was the subject matter
of the petition.
at is believed that the American
Sugar Refining Company is no longer
q trust or monopoly. At the time the
suit was commenced the American and
its allied interests controlled about 72
per cent of the refined sugar industry
OF the United States. At the present
time the control of the American has
decreased to the point where it now
controls about "a per cent of the
interests"
