Cit! Drug Store N. FRENCH & CO,, 118 Third Street Phone 52 New York, Dec. 11.—That the gov- ernment weighers. were directly re-| = 7 sponsible for the underweighing o | S sugar on the Havemeyer and Elden Y docks in Brooklyn and that the under- H I ' I w 1 l ' . weighing was due to bad scales and} Our o e e CO e not to manipulation on the part of the checkers will be the contention of the former officials and employes of the sugar trust, now on trial for com- spiracy to defraud the government. In his opening address to the jury chiet counsel for the defense, Henry F. Cochran, made that point very plain. “We propose to show,” he said, “that the scales upon which the sugar was weighed were unreliable and had a tendency to underweigh. The sealers of scales have never vouched for their reliability. The policy of the govern- ment was a liberal one and that the scales were defective was well known to the officers in charge.” SEQUEL TO DOUBLE DIVORCE Jeweler Kills Physician and Then Ends His Own Life.

Just before the shooting Wood rode into the heart of the business district in an automobile with Mrs. Jacobs. ‘While hundreds of Christmas shop- pers crowded the streets Jacobs ap- proached the auto and shot the physi- cian to death. Jacobs then fired two shots at his wife, neither of which took effect. As policemen rushed around him Jacobs turned the revolver upon himself and fired~a-shot into his brain, dying in- stantly. ‘Will be one you can look forward to with much delight if, upon returning all fagged out from your day’s work, your wife can have ready for you a bottle of BEMIDJI'S PILSENER BEER Then you will most fully appreciate this strengthening brew.
