UHCLE SAr.l TACKLES SUGAR TRUST
AMD BRINGS SUIT TO DISSOLVE IT
ITS PRAXES ILLEGAL
ITS MEliS 'CRIMINAL
ITS "AGREEMENT" A FRAUD
The Complaint Alleges That the Companies, While Pretending
to Be Engaged in Competition Are Controlled by the Same
Management and the Whole Scheme Is a Monopoly, a
Fraud and a Crime, an Organized Piracy on the Business
Sea, Flying the Black Flag, Destroying Competition and
Plundering the Public. .

New York, Nov. 28. Designating
the "sugar trust" as a 'ruthless mon
ster," the department of justice to
day asked the United States circuit
court to outlaw the alleged combina
tion. The governrent calls upon
the court to dissolve the trust by
means of a "receiver or otherwise."
The complaint alleges that the trust
agreement Is a fraud and constitutes
a monopoly.
United States Attorney Wis eineti
tuted the suit, which Is directed
against the American Sugar Refining
Company, and 27 companies that, ac
cording to the complaint, "either
through force or persuasion,' were
absorbe dby the combination.
The government says that "they"
(the Havemeyers) and their associ
ates managed and rlrected the affairs
of former competing concerns, whose
shares tbey held, destroyed competi
tion, fixed prices that prevent others
from entering the trade and forced
the retirement of many plants already
so engaged, enormous profits resulted,
and the public was damnified.
Twenty-seven individuals also are
made defendants. Including directors
of the trust and pther companies.
Among the defendants are: '

Fourteen Miners Killed.
McAlester, Okla., Nov. 28J
Fourteen miners were killed in
the Jumbo asphalt mine, near
Antlers, according to a message
that reached here today. The
cause of the explosion Is un-
known. The dead miners were
all Americans, it Is said. .
The mine Is operated by the
Choctaw ' Asphalt Company
News of the accldent'has been
received by R. W. Church, state
Inspector of mines.
tht Illegal practices were used by the
trust. The methods employed to gain
control of opposing refineries are
describe daa illegal. The petition of
the government asking that the trust
be dissolved alleges that underhand
methods and false pretenses 'were re
sorted to. As in the case of the
Standard Oil Company, the govern
ment alleges that companies pretend
ing to be engaged In competition were
In reality controlled by the same
management, and the whole scheme
was Intended to 'get complete control
of the sugar trade.
Price firing was one of the ques
tions of the combination that was
built up. It Is alleged, and price jug
gling was, according to the govern
ment, one of the means employed to
enable the trust magnates to get bold
of the sugar Industry.

The Sudden Termination of the Sea
Hlon if rarliament Was Hi-ought
About by the Liberals, .Who Are
Keeking to Destroy the Veto' Tow
er of the Lord. '
London, Nov. 28. King George
V. today prorogued parliament,
thereby precipitating a . battle be
tween the lords -and the liberals.
The two houses met jointly and lis
tened to the formal speech of the
king.
The monarch thanked both houses
for their services and then an
nounced his Intention of proroguing
parliament and calling a general
election.
Tbe address was read by Lord
Loreburn. high chancelor. '
The members of the cabinet were
not present, being engaged In an
executive session concluding neces
sary business before the end of the
sustilon.
The sudden termination of the
parliamentary session was brought
about by the liberals, who ware
seeking to destroy the veto power of
the lords.
The king's address referred In
touching terms to the death of King
Edward VII.
"I am determined to follow In my
dear father's footsteps," said Win
king.
The address referred to the fact
that England Is at peace with the
world. .In referring to the New
foundland fisheries' dispute recently
adjudicated by a tribunal at The
Hague, Ills Majesty said the cauuc
which had been a source of contro
versy between America, England
and Canada for nearly a century,
was finally settled, be believed.
"It Ib cause for special sat Inflic
tion," he continued, "that It has
been possible to solve by arbitration
problems of such intricate and diffi
cult nature, and that the award has
been received on both sides of tbe
Atlantic In a spirit of good will."
In concluding, the address says:
"We regret that the conference
called with a view of arriving at
some settlement of the situation
arising from the recurring difficul
ties between the house u parlia
ment fallud to agree.".
Tbe next general election proba
bly will decide tbe fate of the house
of lords, or the power of King George,
himself, according to leaders of the
liberal party. It Is assumed that

Looking fur m Firebug.
San Diego, Cal., Nov.
28. 4
The police are searching today
for the firebug who was Been to
set fire to a big vacant building
in National City Saturday night,
and then to beat into lnsenulbtll-
ty Fred Peterson, who turned in
the alarm.
The culprit is supposed to
have started other Incendiary
fires during the last few weeks.
The police had no clew, except
a general description of the al-
leged firebug.
King Oeotge already has assured
Premier Asqulth that he will create
enough.. liberal peers to outvote the
present conservative majority In tlta
house of lords, provided that thi
liberals win at the polls. fcihould
George refuse to create the peers, it
would mean, practically, liberal lead
ers say, a royal defiance of the popu
lar verdict In tbe event of a liberal
victory.
When King George ascended the
throne, a truce of several months
was agreed upon. Early in Novem
ber the liberals took the aggressive
and at the coming election will en
deavor to secure a strong liberal ma
jority. If they win, and the king
refuses their demand. It is more than
likely that his obstinacy may cost
him his crown, if some of the more
"progressive" of the liberals are to
be believed.
Incidentally, the Irish question
depends on the result. The upper
house always has Btood In, the way
of home rule for Ireland. It 1b a
question whether a majority of En
glishmen are more anxious for the
overthrow of the aristocracy than
they ere to see Ireland sett ruled.

Washington, Nov. 28. Ad vices
received today nay that tbe incipient
uprising la Hrazil -which threatened
when men aboard the dfeudnnnghis
of the Brazilian navy mutinied, is at
an end.
The people are quieted, and the
fear that the mutineers might bom
bard tbe coast cities has been dis
pelled. Though the government was
censured for treating with the men
the adjustment has been satisfactory
and the big warships are In the
bands of government officers today.
It is reported here.

. Washington, Nov. 28. With the
opening of congress only a few days
away, unusual internet is being man
Hosted here In the coming message of
the president. Old politicians say
that It will be apt to contain some sur
prises. Not since President Harrison
awoke to find himself with an un
finished legislative program and a
Democratic congress on his hands In
the middle of a term bus a president
faced the situation that confronts Tafl
now.
Tbe situation la complicated. It
has been known for a long time that
the president, realizing the possibility
of defoat, was planning to rush the
rtwt of his program through during
the short session. It Is believed in
political circles bere that the pro-
cram will be somewhat mouimxi. ii
Is certain that Taft will try to bavo
the most important measures rushed
through.
To do this the full strength of the
administration will be neceesary, It
is intimated. , But whether this will
be powerful enough to bold in line a
number of Republican congressmen
wbo were defeated at the November
election is a matter that Is causing
some speculation. It is generally be
lieved tbat a number of the defeated
ones are disgruntled, and it is inti
mated tbat they may lead a revolt
among the regulars.
Politicians bere are predicting tbat
the president will ask for tariff re
vision. Whether the demand will be
made that the revision begin at onoe,
or whether It will merely be discussed
as advisable and tbe real tariff mes
sage put over until tbe tariff board
makes Its first report is problematical.
It Is generally believed tbat the
president's message will outline with
much directness tbe things that the
president wants done, and will indi
cate the policy tbat will be followed
by tbe administration. ,
