WASHINGTON". Dw. IS. In the mat.
tr of the eleeper trunk frauds. 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

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.
