In which a number, of indictments have been found throughout the country, the district attorneys, Mr. loeb said, were waiting- for word from headquarters be fore maltlnff arrests. It is said there are between- 35 and 40 persons and firms against whom the Government contemplates' taking ac tion in connection with sleeper-trunk frauds. Thirty of these are said to be In New York. Estimates are yia.Je that the treas ury lias been defrauded out of approxi mately $2,000,000 through the operation of the sleeper-trunk methods, and. as in most of the cases, the persons and firms suspected are believed to be responsible financially, the expectation of the Gov ernment is that a large portion of this Will be recovered. Collector Loeb, of New Tork, who was again at the Treasury Department to day, expressed satisfaction at the out come of the sugar-fraud trial In New Tork. "Very satisfactory; fine thingr," Mr. 3eb remarked. He was disappointed over the failure to convict BcndemageU There are two men "higher up"-' than h, however, whom Mr. Loeb said ths department was after, one of them, Gerbracht. who had been superintend ent of the sugar refining docks at Wil liamsburg, and who Is now under in dictment, and another whose name he did not care to make public COURT TEjLAYS SEJiTEXCE Convicted Men Expected to Aid In Other Convictions. NEW YORK, Dec 18. Oliver Spltzer, the Williams dock superintendent and the four checkers found guilty last night of conspiracy to defraud the Government by underwelghing sugar Imported by the American Sugar Re fining Company, were not sentenced to day. Instead' the criminal branch of the United States Circuit Court allowed then) freedom under bail until January 8, when they will present arguments for a new trial. Henry L. Stlmson, special counsel for hte Government, announced that he would oppose bitterly any attempt, to place the convicted men on ball after entence had been passed. It is be lieved the Federal attorneys welcome the stay In the sentence because they hope that some of the Indicted men may give them valuable information on the chance of thus lightening their punishment. Patrick Hennessy, a white-haired veteran of the weighing desks and one of the convicted men. talked earnestly In court today with Special Prosecutor Stlmson and the latter was heard to say: "I will be pleased to see you in my office." In granting the delay of sentence Judge Martin intimated that confessions involving superiors might win the con victed men lighter sentences. "If these men," he said, "were led to do wrong through the Influence of stronger minds they are entitled to the full benefit of the mercy of the court. They should not now be shielding per sons who might have controlled their actions at the risk that the courts may not take Into consideration the recom mendation to mercy." APPEALS ADVANCE IS ASKED Government Anxious to Prosecute Sugar Trust Officials. WASHINGTON". Dec. 18. Application is to bo made to the Supreme Court early in January by the Department of Jus tice to advance for hearing the appeal of the Government from the decision of Judge Holt at New York, practically ex empting from prosecution certain of ficials of the sugar trust because their acts are barred by the statute of limitations.
