TRUST LAUGHS AT
$230,000,000 SUIT
BUT FEARS PRISON
Civil Action Fails to Scare Sugar
Magnates, Who Have Been
Through Fire Before
WALL STREET NOT FLUTTERED
Operators Cite Recent Failures to
Collect Big Fines as Cause
for Safe Feeling
(Special to The Herald)
NEW YORK, Nov. 29.—Barring a
flutter on the stock exchange there
was practically no aftermath today to
the filing yesterday by the government
of a petition asking for the dissolution
of the American Sugar Refining com
pany and twenty-nine other companies I
••■imposing the so-called sugar trust
and having a capitalization of $230,- !
nnn.ono. The action has proved a ono
rlity sensation in the newspapers, and
its effects on Wall street have resulted ;
in nothing like the effects a similar j
prosecution would have evoked a few j
years ago. The general market tone,
in fact, shows improvement over that
of a week past and Sugar is holdtns
its own, despite yesterday's action of
the federal authorities.
Tho utter lack of excitement in finan
cial circles following the bringing of a
suit of such vast proportions and in
volving the very existence of one of
the largest corporations of the country
was the cause of general comment
both on the stock exchange and in |
legal circles today. The opinion seemed
settled that the large corporations have
little to fear from civil actions Involv
ing merely fines and dissolutions, as
In no instance has this procedure by
the government brought any radical
results., The failure of a similar action
heretofore against tho sugar trust and ■
a recent failure in a civil action
against the Standard Oil company
were widely cited and had much to do
with the calm way with which news
of the government suit was received
on the stock exchange.
One prominent operator in speaking
of the matter today said: "Sugar is
firm under the latest government at
tack because the action begun yester
day is merely civil and all similar civil
actions have failed of their purpose.
The opposite has been true of the
criminal prosecutions, and the sugar
trust is one of the corporations which
has the greatest experience In this
fact. The prosecutions of Heike and
others by the government are too re
cent to need recalling. At the time
of these prosecutions sugar stocks
slumped heavily, the big men in the
trust were badly frightened and con
siderable results, both financial and
moral, were obtained. Wall street and
the trust magnates are shy of that sort
of prosecution. But when It comes
to fines and dissolutions—well, no
fines have been collected yet, and
Standard OH and the rest are still do-
Ing business at the old stand. They
can afford to laugh and are laughing
at civil prosecutions."
SAN FRANCISCO DAILY SUN
SETS FOR LACK OF FUNDS
Publisher Hopes Newspaper Will
Be Resumed Soon
(Special to The Herald)
SAN FRANCISCO. Nov. 29.—The
San Francisico Sun, launched Immedi
ately after the primary election as a
Democratic morning newspaper, set
tonignt, like its prototype, hut unlike
it, will not rise I morrow. Formal no
tice of the suspension of the news
paper was made this evening by the
publisher, H. J. Bartlett.
For somo days past it. had been
known that the end of the enterprise
was imminent. The funds subscribed by
State Senator Caminetti and the other
stocknolders had been exhausted and
lack of advertising contracts together
with failure to obtain a circulation of
rr.oro than 10,000 rendered the. out'ook
critical. The management was unable
to pay salaries last week, and the
staff had been cut down to a nominal
number/
"We have decided to suspend pub
lication for the time being," was Bart
lett's statement this^vening, "but we
hope to be able to resume within a
short time." Others, however, aie not
ko sanguine, and believe that the
eclipse is total.
DOCK CONTAINING 300 MEN

ASTRAKHAN. Russia, Nov. 2!>.—
During 1 a sudden tempest in the Cas

which were 300 Persian dock workers
was dragged from Its moorings and
swept out to sea. The storm was so
violent that attempts at rescue were
futile, and all hope that any of the
men will he saved has been aban
doned.
Scores of ships, spveral with th^lr
crews on hoard, were sunk at Uwlr
moorings at different Caspian coast
towns.
Seven towns along the roast were
flooded, hundreds of inhabitants tak

PEKING DOUBTS AMERICAN
LOAN WILL BE CONCLUDED
PEKING, Nov. 29.—Serious doubt
that a projected loan of $50,000,000 to
China by an American financial syn

in Peking. Difficulties have arisen
among them owing to the unwillingness
of China, to accept a foreign advisory.
Without such control, it is said, the
promoters are unwilling to supply the
loan.

SAYS FOREIGNERS
HAD LOBBY IN U.S.
Former Congressman Testifies to
Efforts to Kill Ship Sub
sidy Legislation
NEW YORK. Nov. 29.— Testimony
that steamship companies owned
abroad control American shipping ab
solutely and have spent money freely
to foster legislation against an Amer
ican merchant marine was offered to
day before the congressional commit
tee holding sessions here to investigate
charges that a sttamship lobby was
rnaimained at Washington.
William H. Douglas, who formerly
represented a New York district in
congress, was the witness who made
these statements.
"As conditions are now, ' Mr. Doug
las testified, "the American merchant
is handicapped. The foreign steam
ship owners make a rate at Hamburg,
London and Paris that' controls the
export shipment of an article to this
country. Even if the American should
charter a steamer for his own freight
he would not be able to obtain addi
tional freight to make up a cargo."
Similar conditions govern trade be
tween the United Ktafs and youth
America, Mr. Douglas said, as all the
lines plying between the two countries
are owned abroad..and foreign steam
ship companies, he asserted, had spent.
money freely to influence sentiment
against American shipping.
■While you were a member of con
gress did you ever know of money
being spent thero by agents to Influ
ence legislation through the giving of
dinners or anything else?"
"I think there was."
Mr. Douglas added that although
loreign companies had used whatever
influence they possessed in influenc
ing shipping legislation and had paid
men to represent them in Washington,
he believed that, strictly speaking,
they had not violated any law.

KIDNAPING CASE IS
BEHIND BOMB OUTRAGE
Explosion Wrecks Saloon of an
Italian Who Refused to
Pay Ransom for Son
NEW YORK, Nov. 29.—The kidnap
ing ease, originating five years ago,
in which the late Lieutenant Petro
sino, who was murdered in Italy,
played the. part of investigator, is
believed to have led indirectly to a
bomb explosion in the early hours to
day which shook up one of the most
thickly populated blocks in New York,
did extensive damage and created a
panic hi the neighborhood. The bomb
exploded in the doorway of BeiUt
Trlnaorla'i saloon In the heart ot the
Sicilian .settlement in Elizabeth street,
It completely wrecked the saloon,
the front of which was blown Inward;
badly damaged adjacent floors, hurled
sleepers In the tenements above from
their beds and cracked windows for
blocks around. The police lvserves
had their hands full quieting the panic
stricken foreigners who flocked to the
streets by hundreds. Francesco !.»<•
blarbera is the owner of the saloon.
He had left the place about an hour
before the explosion. Today he grave
the police his theory of the animus
behind the outrage. Five years api,
he said, his son Pietro, 6 yeais old,
was kidnaped and he has not heard
from him since. The police were no
tified and Lieutenant P<?troslno worked
on the case. Leblarbera received
many letters threatening his life if a
large sum of money was not paid for
the return of the boy, but paid no at
tention to them, and It is believed by
him that the kidnapers are now start
ing in their revenge.

More Witnesses Stamp Proposed
$27,000-000 Increase
as Unjust
WASHINGTON, Nov. 29.—Five ox
perts for shippers testified today be
fore the interstate commerce commis
sion in its investigation of proposed
rate increases.
On adjourning, the commission an
nounced arguments of the eastern and
western increase cases, consoldlated,
would be heard December 9.
Today's testimony tended to show
that the proposed increases which the
roads claim will involve a net addi
tional revenue of $27,000,000 in the of
ficial classification territory, extend
ing from New England to the Missis
sippi river and nortli of the Ohio and
Potomac, were unjust and unfairly
distributed.
C. O. Ives of Boston, representing
shipping Interest! in New York, Now
Kngland, Pennsylvania, New Jorsey,
Maryland and Virginia, and said thn
rebate had been abolished effectually,
but that when the practice txistert the
rebates rearhed 35 or 40 por rent.
Mr. Ivos maintained the railroad
men were sincerely trying t<> do away
absolutely with preferences.
"The preferences that exist today are
in those tariffs themselves?" a. feed
Chairman Knapp.
■•Absolutely." replied Mr. Ivea,
Contending that it was unjust to at
tempt a blank advance in class rates
from the seaboard to western territory,
lie maintained that a 20 per cent ad
vance from Chicago to Illinois and
Wisconsin and west of the Mississippi
would not equalize a 20 per cent ad
vance from seaboard to Illinois.
Mr. Ives called attention to lake and
rail advances aggregating from 10 to
25 per cent In'the last decade in addi
tion to the changes In classification.
He claimed the proposed horizontal in
crease, is arbitrary.
Tho 20 per cent advance on the first
five classes, declared Mr. Ives, while
an excessive Increase, is not the max
imum contemplated, for, he said,, large
additional burdens are laid upon the
lake transportation, which does not
even have the justification of any ex
traordinary Increase In wages.

(Absociated Presat
LONDON, Nov. 20.—Politicians of all '
parties are straining every nerve to
crowd into a few days work that In
ordinary elections Is spread over weeks
or months. Nearly all the heavy guns
were in action tonight.
Arthur J. Balfour, leader of the op-
position in the house of commons, bo
fore a meeting in Albert lia.ll, when;
he warmly supported the referendum,
described the government as puppets,
dancing to tho tune of John Redmond
and his American paymasters.
The issues are narrowing down daily. -
The conservatives make much of the
menace of home rule. They proclaim
the plan of the liberals for the reform
of the house of lords means a single
chamber government, ,and put to the
front their new policy of referendum.
There is a great fervor among the
Liberals, a feature being the sudden re- .
forming zeal of the present lords who
claim ,that Lansdowne's referendum
scheme Is a snare because the part Its
would be unequally yoked together un
der it, that conservative measures
would always sail smoothly through the
house of lords while the referendum
would be Invoked only for Liberal bills
distasteful to the peers.
Moreover, they estimate the cost of
each appeal to the people at $10,000,
--000.
SPLIT ON TARIFF
An Interesting factional cleavage has
occurred in Balfour's party over the
tariff reform. The Spectator, the
spokesmen of the unionist free trad
ers, has proposed that the tariff re
formers plodge themselves to submit
the question to a referendum if the
party wins, it not being a leading is
sue of the campaign.
The moat ardent tariff reformers,
led by the Morning Post, contend that
it is the foremost principle "of the
party. , , .
"The Unionist party breaks into
fragments," says the Post, "if a Union-'
ist victory does not mean tariff re
form."
Mr. Balfour tonight announced his
willingness to leave it to a referen
dum In the meantime, the leaders
are making every appeal to the Inde
pendent vote, believing it controls the
issue.
The Irish unionists sent a message
of defiance of home rulers to Mr. Bal
four's meeting and deputations from
