Losi'lngeles, July 23. When, court

opinldhs of Darrow s guilt bo
ore being called for -4ury service, and
hsfc he had attempted to cause the Jur

PRESS CLUB
Trnlled Presr f mei Wlre.
San Francisco, July 25. Not alone
was the California sugar consumer com
pelled by the surar. trust to pay all
the traffic would henr, but that he
was arbitrarily charged more than the
consumer of any other slate, due to col-
lusion'between the American Sugar Re
fining company and Its local subsid
iary companies, was brought out at the
hearing hero today of the dissolution
suit before Special, Examiner Brlce.
The testimony was In the form Of let
ters exchanged between H. O. Have
meyer, late head of the trust, and W.
H. Hannam, secretary of the Western
and, the Spreckels Sugar Refining com
panies, and Havemeyer's personal repre
sentative in California.
Paying to Close Plant.
Further light was shed on the clan
destine negotiations whereby the Cali
fornia-Hawaiian company was per
suaded for a sum of $200,000, paid an
nually by the Western, to close Its plant
at 'Crockett, thus giving the trust an
absolutely clear field.
The Hawaiian people, It appears from
letters Introduced In evidence today,
were becoming dissatisfied with this ar
rangement and,'were anxious to resume
operations. - The trust-found difficulty
in dictating terms which would keep up
the market and allow full exploitation of
the western field, according to the tenor
of the letters. '
In a communication addressed to
Havemeyer by Hannam, dated November
23, 1905, he wrote:
Afraid of Publicity.
"The question of the Crockett plant
resuming will Inject additional expense
In the business, which seema wholly
unnecessary. The question of both pro
ducersnamely, the Western and the
California-Hawaiian turning over their
product to a third company, a selling
concern. Is objected to very strongly
by our attorney, Mr. Morrison. He says
this course of action would immediate
ly publish to the world what we are
doing, and might he the cause of con
siderable difficulty. The same result
could be accomplished In a little dif
ferent way without any agreement as to
price."
Hannam and Havemeyer were alarmed
lest the Hawaiian people should deter
mine to go ahead Independently, ajid
bring dgwn the price of sugar on the
Pacific coast, particularly In California,
where under the trust schedule the high
est tariff was to be charged. Hannaui
staled lii-Ms-letieja .-lluLt-. John iXj.
Spreckels had been consulted before the
matters touched on had been proposed.
Trust in Control.
The Hawaiian concern wanted to open
Its Crockett plant on a basis of handling t
one inira or uie lsiana sugar output, nut
this was not satisfactory to the trust.
That half the stock of the Western
Sugar Refining company, the Spreckels
firm, was controlled by the American
Sugar Refining company, was confirmed
in a letter by Havemeyer to Hannam
and placed In evidence.

COMPLAINS S. P. DAMS

A motion of dismissal of the suit of

Willamette river near Harrlshurg was
filed In the I'nited States district court
yesterday by the attorney for the com
pany. The motion will be heard later
when transcripts of deposition in tlu
case have been completed and filed.
In the complaint Cartwrlght claims
that the dams nave changed the course
of the current In a northwesterly direcr
tion with the result that 28.18 acres of
his land has been cut off from the re
mainder of his 4no acre farm, 19 acres
have been taken up wlth.the npw chan
nel and 1.5 acres is now a slough. In
all 48 acres have been damaged, and
204 more acres are in danger of being
washed away. Trie damage to his lands
at tho time of filing the suit he placed
at $lfi,IU4 The removal of the dams
he declares will cause the channel to
return to thp old place.
In addition to the other damages he
claims that the damage due from incon
venlcnce caused by the cutting up of his
lands is Ifi'ift and from drift, brush and
logs deposited ,,n his lands amounts to
Jinon tie ralhwul company built the
four datns In 19i5 and they vary from
2'm to 500 feet in length. Rock was also
dmnp"(l about the peis in quantity to
protect thun from the wash of the cur

measures were necessary to protect the
approach to the bridge from the current
as the water washed the foundations
away continually.

Cornwall's Advice.
(I'nited Frost Leerl Wire.)
Twma. Wash July 25. "Treat the
logger like a human being."
That was the advice of George Corn
wall, secretary of the Pacific loggers'
congress, In his annual address at the
opening of the session here today.
He said It paid, that some companies
had tried It and will never go back to
old methods. He urged better homes,
getting " man led men with wives in
camp, hauling the men to Mie woods In
heated cars and giving them lunch at
10 o'clock.
J. P. Van Orsdel of Portland favored
utilizing oil In donkey engines. He said
to pump it to the high places.

Much stress Is being laid on modern

Alexander Custer Is not Mrs. Hulda
Custer's Ideal of what a husband should
be. This much Mrs. Custer makes clear
In papers Hiking for a divorce which
were filed in the circuit court today.
Once when she saved up money and
bought her husband a gold watch as a
birthday present, Mrs. Custer asserts, he
took the watch and slammed it on the
floor. On another occasion she tells of
his having smashed nearly all the dishes
in the house, while still again, she says,
he came Into the kitchen where she had
her bread dough all ready for the oven,
picked It up and dumped It on the floor
or spattered it on the walls and finally
broke a .catsup bottle against the side
of the kitchen. Besides all this, Jie
drank to excess, gambled and sometimes
stayed out all night, she says.
Declaring that his wife. Ada Hall, de
serted him Jiwie 22 of last year, J. C.
Hall has sought a divorce. They were
married In Astoria In April, 1R9S. f
His arrest in Portland and extradi
tion to Dowiag, Mich., on a charge of
deserting his wife, which he declares
was unfounded. Is one cause cited by
Harry Keene against Minnie Keene In
his prayer for a divorce. He accuses
a Fred Cleary of having caused his ar
rest. Mr. and Mrs. Keene were married
In Dowinr, on July 1fi, 1 898. The plain
tiff Is willing to give his wife the cus
tody of Iheli children.
Charging abandonment, Ida Richard
son Is asking a divorce from William A.
Richardson. She was married in Se

band left her March 1. 1009, she says.

Andrew Kan, the well known Portland;
Chlneae-merchant-'who- is at -present in -China
on a visit, Is having troubles ga,
lore in fulfilling a contract to deliver
250 pairs of Chinese pheasants from,
their native wilds to this country for
State Game Warden W. L. FlrUey ae
cording to a letter Just recejirea from
him. Primitive me.liods of catching
and the heat, which is Intense' in, that
country at present, are the main diffi
culties encou ntered.
Mr, Kan wwte that the game nienTTan
easily bag -male pheasants' and , can flU
the order for them at onte, but that'
the females are very scarce. .The males
are caught by staking a female in the
open and catching the males when they
come wooing. Seldom can a herv' be
caught by this method. The only way
to catch members of that sex is to wait
until after the harvest season and catch
them around the stacks of straw.
On his. arrival, Mr. Kan was told that
the game men would not keep the birds

It is hoped by the commission that
the release of these blr3s and the broods
which- they will raise will booo com
pletely fill the fields as they., were be-,
fore the wholesale slaughter of them
made them scarce. Small aluminium
tags will be fastened around their legs
that their movements may be traced and
growth determined when they are later
killed. All tags are numbered.

received from sources outside-1 -he-stats- -and
a recent order from IIDnolulu asked
for 120i. Only birds for release fa
this state are raised, however. The
scale on which the birds are being
raised at Corvallis Is far more exten
sive than in other states and even bet
ter rrsufls will be sought next year.
