In one case, a boy with bandaged eyes on whose brain the surgeon was at work, nsked Jilra when the operation was to begin, and then walked to the cot after it was over.

Congress Likely To Be Asked In Message to Make Investigation of Trust Misdeeds. Washington, Nov, 30. There a kettle heating in the White House for the managers of the Sugar Trust. Unless something akin to a miracle happens to change President 's convic tions the men who have been di recting the affairs of the American Sugar Refining company will receive an excoriation in his mes sage to consress the like of which no corporatVn ever has had be fore. The knout is being prepar ed and there are likely to be a few extra knots tied in U.S.

i Presidential wrath is not. going to be wasted on the agents of the trust who have been sticking corset springs in the scales and slip ping lulls into the pockets of small salaried employes of the government. The men who will hour the swish of White House lash will be those who have been drawing big salaries and who are suspected by the presi twirof iJielvhoIe disgraceful su gar scandal. hat Colonel Theodore Roose office of the trust must have unloaded. It develops that sixty per cent of the stock of the trust is owned in New England, and tKstiA lifld Knnn finniMliinrr tt A panic among the representatives and senators of that section at the prospect of what may follow.

Practically one half of the trust stock, according to the result of the government's investigation, is held' trustees for widows and tho legatees of estates. Tho president is suspicious of tho situation under which it is found that the menia control of the great trust hold so small a percentage of its stock and of the distribution of it which appears to have occurred during a com paratively short time. Something Wayne So you think you wmild like to make a Journey to the North Pole? I'ayn Yes, 1 think I would. It must' be restful to get to some pace where nobody carra whulhcr the snow Is olsaned. oft er not.

of the power and vier of expres sion which hide behind the president's smile is likely to make itself felt when he says what he has in mind to say of the operations of the officers of the trust. This determination on the part of the president will operate to the defeat of the campaign of the department of justice to prevent its evidence beir opened through an investigation by congress. Unless this fact can be brought to bear upon the president with sufficient force to bottle his wrath the action of congress in the sugar investigation will come with a rush. Some of the men in Congress who" are least infcae uhlir dent 4 to admit velt used to say of corporations is confidently expected to sound like an extract from a rhythmical tract when placed beside the personal opinion of President William II. Taft as to the acts by which the Sugar Trust corrupted the employes of the government.

He has decided opinions as to where tho blarao should be laid, and he will make no reservations in his1 drafting of the English language to make his meaning plain. Investigation on the part of the government has developed the startling fact that the men who now manago the affairs of the American Sugar Refining company own but a comparatively small percentage of its stock. Just how this change was brought about and when will bo an in teresting phase of tho congres sinnal investigation. It has come to the knowledge of Tresidnt Taft that the Havemeyers, supposed to be heavily interested in the Sugar Trust, in reality now hold its stock to the extent of only about one thousand shares. Similar deductions have been reached in the case of other men who were believed to be heavily interested in this business.

Curiously enough, it appears to be the careful New Englandcr jwho has acquired the sugar stock I which the men close to the main that they would not dare place themselves in the position of voting aainst an investigation, even though they doubt its wisdom during the pendency of the trials. HEIRS CLAIM SHARE IN Al GOVERNMENT JUDGMENT. O. W. Goad has returned from Washington, D.

where he argued a case for the descendants of Alexander Brown, a half blood Cherokee Indian, who claimed their share of the $5,000,000 judgment against the govern ment. The court held that as the children of BrownindT their descendants were not enrolled that they would not be allowed any part of the money awarded the tribe. Mr. Goad said yesterday that the decision of the court would not affect the minor children of Brown or their descendants as Brown was enrolled at that time. It is thought that an appeal will be taken to the supreme court of the United States.

The plaintiffs in the case reside in the north part of Greene county, the south end of Polk and the east end of Dade County. DEMOCRAT GETS OFFICE BY THE TOSS OF A COIN. Frankfort, Nov. JO. A novel um of a coin to decide an election came to light here today.
