vour attention to the correspondence

iously to learn what action yon Intend
to take in this matter. t:r
"If this Is a ; correct portrayal, of
what took place there ls .certajnly .no
doiiht that a crime has been committed
under the provisions of section 412 of,
the penal code." . '
The correspondence referred to by (
Attorney White includes the governor's (
Jctter. WTttten at the time he ordered At- j
tnrnv General Webb to take steps to ,
prevent the Jeffries-Johnson fight In
California. ,-. ' 1 i
GlUetfs Definition of Frlss right.
The Question of what constitutes a
prize, fight was threshed out by; the
governor at. that time.trjn hla letter
Uillett fald: ':;.- '.'' ' . - '
"In Michigan, a prize fight exists
where there is expectation of reward
to be rpined by the contest or competi
tion, either to be won from the coptest
ent or to be otherwise awarded, coupled
with an intent to inflict, upon such
contestant some degree of bodily harm." i
The governor cited ,i decision of the
Kansas supreme court that a contest la
n prize fight where tn ere exists as ln
liiit to, inflict some degree of bodily
t arm. . He added that under the stat
utes of California the scores of so
called, 'sparring exhibitions were not
s purring exhibitions al all, tut prize
l srhts.' . v'--"". ? : '
Commenting on the governor's letter
in.', connection with' the Hlorah-Nalson
fight. Attorney- White said todays vV'v-j
. "It Is up to District Attorney Flckert
tnjtake action, t fati to see bow ho
; rt refuse to do 'so in light of. events'
; ' &t have transpired, and in view of the
governor's letter. Indictments should
i e .forthcoming,- if newspaper accounts
f the scenes in the ring are true. The
law has been violated and it is the duty
f the . district attorney to punish the
persons breaking the law." ' ' . ,' : 'e 1
GUlstt Says It Is tTp to riciert.
' Governor GiUett was told of the ao
tion of the attorney for the Church
Federation and was asked if he Intended
to take a hand in the natter. The gov
ernor replied thai he haa no Intention of
interfering. He put the whole matter
up to the district attorney and others
interested In the right game. :
"My office will take no action In re
(,'.irrl to Saturday's fight," said Governor
i.illett. "The time for me to take action
is jiatst. If the law was violated Satur
day the thing to do is for someone to
'. hwcar out a warrant $ir. White of . the
Church Federation or anyone else can
war to this warrant, .
"The punishment for the violation of
the law should be brought about
through the proper channels. I can see
no reason- for Interference now on tha
part cf , the governor. , ,
"Ulstrlct Attorney Flckert is running
his office and I am running mine. This
Is a matter foT the district attorney."

The petition s;iys the American Sugar
Refining company was incorporated in
New Jersey In 1S91 and that it haa a
capital stock with a par value of $90,
OM.OOA. . The companies comprising the
trcst, it is alleged, are refiners of both
beet and cane sugar.
One chapter of the petition details
the operations of the Havemeyers and
their associates since 1887. It declares
that in 1887 there were 23 Independent
refineries in the country. These had' a
total producing capacity of 3,000,400
pounds dally. -

meyers, ' "Doner, Atkins, Thomas or
others, . the petition . continues, "the
owners and directors of 17 competing
refineries, carrying 0 per cent of the
American sugar trade and Jointly ca
pable of dominating and controlling It,
determined to combine ; and destroy '
competition, exctude others and monop
olize the trade." - . ' :, ' .' -
The first combination operated under
a trust deed, it Is alleged, which gav4
the control of the various properties to
11 trustees. The petition continues:
"In pursuance of general conspir
acy and In order to : maintain, secure
and" retain a complete domination of
the trade and to obtain nncomtctonahle
profits to thow Interested, the trastees

Totten Case Ttrdio m Surprise. ;
The argument of the prosecution, how
ever, is that the women had conspired to
kill the first member of the Sutton fam
ily that attempted to take down the
fence. It is for that reason they urge
that the women remained out there after
they had reconstructed the fence that
was cut the night before by the Buttons,
