RUM AND SUGAR
BASIS Of NEW
EXPERIMENT
Natives to Share Profits $3.50;
Plan May Spread to Puerto
Rico; Even United States
Copyright. 1894, by International
News Service)

News SerNlce)
Using the Government-owned
Virgin Islands as proving
ground, President Roosevelt IS
launching program OF Govern
ment participation in business
which eventually may be tried IN
the United States. =.
At the Presidents orders, and
backed with $1,000,000 initial
capital, the United States is set
ting up a Government monopoly
Of all Virgin Islands industries
in which the native workers will
share so per cent of the profits
Studies are under way in
Puerto Rico, adjoining the Virgin
Islands, preliminary to trying a
similar Set-up there as a solution
for Puerto Rico's economic dis
treSS.
Rum Soon on Market
Government business ventures
IN the United States proper,
based on developments in its
West Indian proving grounds,
will be confined to a possible
Government cement industry, to
offset what Secretary Of Interior
IckeS and other Presidential ad-
viSers consider is a monopoly in
that business, and establishment
Of certain industries among
tribes of Indians.
Observation-Disclosures Vir-
gin Islands rum will be on the
American market this fall, &C
cording to present plans, as the
first challenge to an American
industry which, in this instance,
is the whisky ring" blamed by
Government officials for high
prices and poor liquor.
The first scene of any Govern
ment business establishment on q
large scale probably will be the
Tennessee Valley. This would be
apart from encouragement Of
municipally-owned utilities such
as light and power, being fin
anced by public works funds in
certain areas.
Cummings OEiniOn Asked
An opinion has been asked Of
the Attorney General as to the
legal phases Of the initial set-up
in the Virgin Islands.
Originating with Oscar Chap
man, Assistant Secretary Of the
Interior, in collaboration with
Gov. Paul Pearson, of the Virgin
Islands, the plan was approved
by the President and recently
the initial $1,0O0,00O capital was
provided from Government
sources.
The President appointed an ad-
visory council for Governor Pear
son, including, besides Secretary
of Interior Tckes and Secretary of
Agriculture Wallace, George Foster
Peabody, philanthropist; Prof.
Charles w. TausSig, economist;
DR.. Mordacai johnson, dean of
Howard University: Walter White,
secretary Of the National Associa-
ton for the Advancement of
Colored People, and Alfred K.
Stern, Chicago business man,
Professor Taussig has just re-
turned from the Virgin Islands
and Governor Pearson is expected
in Washington soon to complete
business arrangements.
Opposition FOreseen
Extension Of the plan to Puerto
Rico is expected to be opposed by
American interests in the island.
Prof. Rexford Tugwell, and Mrs.
Roosevelt are now in the islands
Investigating the situation.
The United States has options
on 5000 acres of the small area
of available land, at most 10000
acres, as the islands are very
mountainous. The Government
also has acquired the plants and
other equipment.

"Of course it was false"
Fisher suddenly grew accusing.
He stood with his feet spread
apart. His big frame seemed to
rcrouch, as though ready to spring.
His right arm was extended,
flexed at the elbow. His right
forefinger pointed accusingly at
the girl and was held less than a
foot from her face.

only to show your good faith in
this matter. Do you know any

Her eyes lost their glittering
assurance. She was no longer
sure of herself. She spoke with
a voice that quavered.

Ancient Secret Revealed

p Why Christian Serbs in the Petch
district of JugoSlavia have for CEN
turtles placed lighted candles in the
cemeteries OF an old MOSlem
mosque, known as st. Georges col
umnS has been revealed by eXcava-
tionS Those who followed the Gus,
tom did not know why 1t was done,
and had never heard satisfactory
explanation from their ancestors.
The excavations show that the
mosque was built by victorious
Turks on the site Of an ancient
Christian monastery dedicated to
St. George. 1t is evident that
even after their monastery had
been removed the defeated Serbs
continued to place the lighted can
dies.

Iyou that this man cashed a large
check at the hotel where he was
staying. The check was drawn
upon the bank in RivervieW
where Mr.. Cathay keeps his &C.
count. The check was signed. ap,
parently, with the signature OF
Frank B. Cathay. 1t was clever
forgery, an excellent forgery
forgery which had been long re.
hearsed.
"This impersonation was no
casual matter, no idle vagary OF
a common crook. 1t was thing
which had long been planned in
this mans mind, something that
had been carefully thought out.
We know of that check which
was cashed. We do not know
what else was done. There may
have been other checks cashed.
There may have been other
frauds perpetrated. 1t is even
possible that this man had, on
previous occasions. represented
himself as being Frank B. Cathay
and sowed the seeds of crime
which have yet to make them
selves manifest. Therefore, young
woman, you have definitely plac-
ed yourself beyond the pale of
the law"
Fisher glowered at her. "But,' u
she said, 81 was entirely inno'

"You were not innocent, the
lawyer interrupted. "You were
technically guilty. You were both
an accomplish and accessory aft
er the fact. You assisted a felon
to violate the law. Therefore,
the law says you yourself are
guilty"
"But l didn't know that about
the law" she said.
Ignorance of the law excuses
no one" Fisher told her. "Now,
under those circumstances and
with a complete knowledge of
that which has happened, | am
going to call upon you to make a
complete and accurate statement
of that which occurred. There
can be no ignorance on your part
of the law now. You understand
what it is, do you not?"
"Yes," she said.
"You understand if you tell
any lies now you are making
yourself an accessory after the
fact and that that is just as seri-
Gus as though you had committed
the crime Yourself"

will give you one of my cards."
He pulled card case from his
pocket, flshed out card, whip
ped it about in flourishing half
circle and presented it to her,
holding it in front of her face.

COLUMBIA had pointed for the Corneil
~ game all year in 1890, and when Ralph
Hewitt stepped back 10 yards from the
scrimn,age line, with the ball at mldheid,
and booted a6O-yard drop kick that crossed
between the goal posts, cohorts OF the
Lions were jubilant.
But not for long! Cornell came back
with a terrific drive that soon pushed over
seven points-and the poor Lion was due
to take its annual sock on the chin.
Then occurred one of the most dramatic
plays of the season. Hewitt, on his own "
yard line, caught the Cornell KICKOFF. IN
the dead run he sidestepped and sum
armed his way down the field 80 yards 1or
