SUPREME COURT HEARS GOVERNMENTS CHARGE
Sugar Futures Dealers Arraigned and Business Is Said to Be in
 Hands of Conspirators.

Washington, Nov. 16.--Arguments were heard in the supreme court to- day in the injunction suit by which the federal government sought last spring to put an end to dealings in sugar futures on the New York Cof- fee and Sugar Exchange. The att
 tempt failed in the lower courts.
 In its argument today the govern ment charged that the exchange ''is the tool of conspirators." and that its maintenance and operations to fix the price of sugar is conspiracy. While conceding that natural causes to some extent affect the price of sugar, it was insisted that the operations of the exchange contribute to price fix- ing. The government further assert cd that the exchange was not necessary instrumentality in the mar kcting of sugar and that it should be brought under strict governmental supervision should the court be nn- willing to go as far as to restrain it from all dealings in figures.
 Counsel for the exchange and for the New York Coffee and Sugar Clearance association insisted that. the government had failed to prove a conspiracy or combination in re- straint of commerce. and that grave results would follow in the sugar trade should the exchange be forci- ply closed. They also contended that the recent decision Of the supreme court in the grain futures case brought by the Chicago Board of Trade was not a precedent which the could use in extending it's supervision over sugara exchanges. |

BELLEAU WOOD RELIC IS.
 AT FIRST THOUGHT BOMB
Souvenir Has Caused No Little Trou- ble To Owner and To New
 York Police

New York, Nov. 16-A cutting from shell-torn tree in Belleau Wood which has engaged the attention of Secretary of War Weeks and the New York police bomb squad, today start ed on the last lap of it's journey to Boston, where it will be preserved as relic of the World War.
 The piece of wood. eighteen inches in diameter and twentx1four inches long. in which is imbedded part of a three inch shell, was picked up on the battle ground more than a year ago by Mrs. John c. Spring of Boston, a niece of Secretary Weeks.
 French customs officials at Cher bourg refused to let her embark on the Majestic with the souvenir, say irg the shell might not yet have ex- ploded. So she returned to Paris and cabled Uncle John."'
 Secretary Weeks thereupon cabled Ambassador Herrick, who took the matter up with the French govern ment. The relic was declared harm less and Mrs. Spring sailed on the Majestic-two trips late.
 Arriving in New York, Mrs. Spring went to visit Miss Marcella Moline, an intimate friend,. on West Fifty-fifth street. As she was planning a trip west before returning to Boston, she left the souvenir with Miss Moline.
 In October, Miss Moline moved, but first she crated the souvenir and plac- ed 1t in storeroom to await Mrs. Springs return.
 Right afteH Miss Moline had nov ed, new ianitor was hired. He dis covered the crate and called the bomb squad.
 Detectives discovered Miss Moline, who explained it all, and today Mrs. Spring departed for Boston with the relic, hoping to deposit it on the fam fly bookcase without further trouble.

No cutting should be made from

Asparagus stores energy in its
fleshy roots during the summer and

Rhubarb is started by planting
