Relatives and friends of Mr. Shriver beiieve that death may have come ac- entally as the result of a leakage of gas, which overpowered Mr. Shriv- er, who was alone in the house. Tt is known, however, that sickness in Mr. Shriver's family has caused him great worry recently. Both he and Mrs. Shriver have Leen unwell.

Made Assistant to Chairman Republican Committee. 1 of Sumner Curtis, well known Wash- n_pewspaper man, has been ap- nted assistant to the chairman of the republican national committee, acoording to an announcement by Chatrman John T. Adams today. Mr. Curtis has had wide experience in the newspaper fleld, and was recognized as a writer of ability on national and ‘political subjects. From 1906 up to the time of its sale in 1914 he was hington corre- dent of the Chicago Record- 4, and during that tour of duty was in touch with political leaders of ihe oation. GUILTY HELD SAFE ‘N U..S. SUGAR WAR (Continued from First Page. instrument of the conspiracy. It would seem that {n order to be effec- tive the action should have been brought agalnst those who have been gambling in sugar and artificlally enhancing its price, and not stmply against the proprietors of the alleged gambling house. “If the Department of Justice and the administration,” he continued, are in earnest in their desire to check ispeculation and price mantpulatio { they will not stop with this injun { tlon, but will proceed at'onee against those ‘higher up' who control the sugar supply of the United States, including both cane and beet Sugar. In order to do this effectively, it will be necessary for the Attorney Gen- eral to make his investigation much broader and more searching than it has been In the past. He must im- mediately subpoena _the original books of the sugar brokers and carry on searching Investigations, both in the United States and in Cuba, which will cover not only the 'blg sugar producers, but also those American banks that now absolutely control the production and sale of Cuban sugar. He will investigate all meet- ings held in Cuba and in New York during January and February of this year and participated in by those who control the sugar supply of Cuba and the United States. Basis for Criminal Action. “If this is done quickly and intel- ligently, he will discover thowe who are behind the conapiracy‘to enhance American_sugar prices and will have a soynd basis for effective criminal action.” Action by the Department of Jus- tice, however, following that in New York yesterday, it was learned today, continues In the form of a searching investigation into all phases of the sugar situation, with the poseibili- ties that there will be no step taken in the court until after the hearing April 30 on the government's applica- tion for & preliminary injunction. In the Interim the Department of Justice will not be inactive. Its agents are preparing further groundwork to be used by the government in case the court should decide on April 30 to grant the preliminary injunction. Such thorough study has been given the whole subject, however, by Attor- ney General Daugherty himself and all branches of his department con- cerned that there was considerable confidence today in administration cir- Cles that the court would grant the temporary injunction, contrary to cer- tain reports that Attorney General Daugherty, who went south with the President to reeuperate from lliness, had_not been in touch with activities of his department. It was learned that the Attorney General personally has long been studying what move the government could take, and at Asheville, N. C.. where he {s now sta; ing, he has been giving vigorous a tention to the matter and has kept in constant touch by long-dlstance tele- phone and correspondence With de- velopments. SUGAR MARKET NERVOUS. Trading Unsettled as Result of Government Action. NEW YORK, April 20.—Trading in sugar futures in the New York coftee and sugar exchange was nervous and unsettled today as a result of the filling vesterday by the government of & suit to enjoin trading in futures uniess backed by actual suger on hand. Overnight selling orders based on the sult forced prices off from 7 to 17 points, representing a decline of 57 to 60 points from yesterdar’'s high level reached before the suit was filed. Supporting orders appeared at the decline, however, and prices Tallled 10 to 15 points from the low figures, July suellm: at 6.19, and September at_6.30. In the spot market a2 small lot was s0ld by an operator to a refiner at 6% cents, cost and freight, or only 34 cent below the season’s high point. Seek to Enjoin Tradiag. United States Attorney William Hayward filed a civll suit for the government vesterday to enjoin the New York Coffee and Sugar Bxchange and its clearing assoclation from further trading in sugar futures un- less backed up by actual ownership or_control of the sugar dealt with. Subpoenas were issued for twenty- three members and officers of the ex- change and its clearing association for u hearing April 30 on the ap- plication ©f the government for a preliminary injunction against trad- ing in sugar futures pending a final hearing. Investigators of the Department of Justice, who prepared the ground for the government's action, refused to discuss the statement of Assistant Attorney General Seymour in Wash- ington that there was a possibility of criminal proceedings in the course of the government's investigation of the high price of sugar. They were only going to attempt to do one thing at a time, they said. ‘War Against Gamblers. Tnited States Attorney Hayward, in a statement announcing the action of the government, said: “This is a united effort on the part of the United States offictals, charged with the en- forcement of the law and protection of the people of the country, to make the gamblers in sugar remove their roulette wheel from the American breakfast table.’ The raw sugar futures market, which opened 7 to 10 points higher today than yesterday's close, broke badly when news of the government's injunction proceedings reached the floor. Quotatlons for September raw futures dropped perpendicularly 89 points, from 6.79 to 5.90, within a few minutes after the news became known: May futures broke 50 points and July futures lost 76 points. There was a rally later, and the mar- ket closed from 21 to 33 points lower than yesterday's quotations. LONDON SEEKS RELIEF. i LONDON, April 20.—The Londen press displays prominengly news of the United States government's action agatist sugar epeculatiom, which is £a1d here to be mainly remponsible for the high and continually increasing retall price for that staple. The dis. satisfaction caused by the fallure of the budget to provide reltef ifrom high sugar prices may be partly offset by the hopes which have beer aroused by the American injunction petition. Meanwhile the British pulllic faces the prospect of a further imcrease in the price of the commodity. Crushed sugar rose a shilling a hundnedweight on yesterday's market, and the in- crease to the consumer of & penny a pound is accompanied by the threat of a corresponding boost in the price of candies and sweetmeats. Many dealers increased the price of jams and confectionery yesterday and the prediction is made that sugar, which now sells at abouy 7 pence & pound retail, will refch 9 pence, or even a shilling, by the end of the year. The traders repudiate the charge of profiteering, saying that ‘the in price is a matter of aheer neces- sity. They point out that they are paying L ings more per hun- Sredweight than. they ~wers two months ago and that the Increase in'| the cost to the consumer will recom-. pense them by less than half of that, amount.

Jame M. Beck, solici- tor general of the United States; Judge Alton B. Parker. and Cecil Ar. den of the Mctropolitan Opera Com- pany acted @s nerve-giuleters during - | the suspense. There are little red and blue lights {on the speaker's platform for the checking of addresses which threaten to .exceed the time HNmit. But the lights are so placed that it must be hard for an enthusiastic orator to T.0te the warning blue and the “stop- speech” red bulb light up. The rail- ing around the platform obscures the lights. At times delegates ocenter more attention on these lights than do the speakers. Methods by which Capt. Colin E. E. Flather and & squad of metro- politan police, as well as a getall of park policemén have been handling crowds near Continental Hall have attracted much more than passing attention. At every crossing from Pennsylvania avenue to the hall on 17th street and at the intersections in the park opposite the building & policeman has been established to safeguard pedestrians.
