New York, July 2.—The American Sugar Refining company, six of its di- rectors and two other individuals, were indicted by a federal grand jury today on a charge of conspiracy in restraint of trade and.violation of the Sherman anti-trust law. The defendants will answer to the indictments in court next Tuesday. Dates Back Thirteen Years. The thread of events leading up to today’s indictments may be traced back to 1896, when Adolph Segal, of Philadelphia, sold to the American Sugar Refining company a sugar re- finery, which he had built and for a time operated at Camden, N. J. Some years later Segal took over the old Pennsylvania Sugar Refining com- pany of Philadelphia, which had sus- pended business in 1898. By 1903 Segal had a new plant nearly com- pleted and was ready to compete in sugar refining. Meantime, however, he had engaged extensively in other rea] estate promotions and became pressed for funds. ‘| Just at this time Gustave Kissel, a | Wall Street broker, turned up with an offer to secure for Segal a loan of $1,250,000, which was accepted. The new controlling interests in the Pennsylvania Sugar Refining company forthwith elected a new board of di- rectors, and this board soon afterward passed a resolution that the Segal factory should not be operated at that time. American Company Accused. After George H. Earle had been made receiver for the Real Estate Trust company on Aug. 28, 1906, he claimed that the difficulties of the trust company were due to the pres- sure brought by the American Sugar Refining company on Segal for the discharge of his obligations, while at the same time Segal, not being per- mitted to operate his refinery, was helpless to pay. F Mr. Earle appealed to the depart- ment of justice, alleging among other things that the minority interests as- sociated with Segal in his sugar re- finery, were being defrauded and that the “trust” in keeping the refinery closed, was acting in restraint of trade and in violation of the Sherman || anti-trust law. Representations made by Earle to Justice Moody, then attorney general, and subsequently to Attorney General Bonaparte, continued, but without the '! relief sought. It is understood that .| the attitude of the department of jus- tice was that, so far as representa- tions had been made, the facts did |}not differ in theory from the Knight {| case, in which the federal courts had ;| held that the acquisition of four com- || peting refineries by the American Su- gar Refining company did not consti- tute a violation of the Sherman anti- trust law. Suit was then brought in the United States district court at New. York, the Pennsylvania Sugar Refining company seeking damages of $30,000,000 from the American Sugar Refining company. Dr THOS.

Compromise Is Effected. After a trial of two weeks, a com- promise was effected on June 8. The ‘}exact terms of the settlement have not been made public, but it is under- stood that the sugar “trust” canceled the Kissel note of $1,125,000 paid Se- gal $2,000,000 in cash in lieu of losses which he claimed he had sustained through the idleness of his refinery, and returned to him the 26,000 shares of the Pennsylvania company which had been deposited as security for the loan of 1903. It was this victory over the American Sugar Refining company which seemed to open the way for a federal suit against that corporation along the lines drawn by Mr. Earle three. years ago. D M.

Bishop Milton Wright, the proud father of the aviators, and the broth- ce, Reuchlin, who had never before seen his brother’s machine fly, were on the field. On his second flight Orville made nine rounds of the field in a few sec- onds less than eight minutes. He made another graceful landing, but flew dangerously close to the ground for some time before stopping his motor and descending. Major Squier expressed the opinion that the rounds on the first flight were approximately half a mile in length. As the machine made these GEO.

The festival began officially when a special train, carrying the famous Iola Knight Rank team of Dayton, Ohio, arrived. The Dayton team numbers 123 Knights, but there were 250 per- sons in the party. The train-was met at the Union station by members of the reception and executive commit- tee and escorted to the West hotel, where the Iola quartet gave a short concert. At noon a complimentary luncheon was tendered the Iola team at the West hotel by the executive committee. Thousands In Line. More than 2,500 were in line in the Pythian parade, which began at 1:45. All of the marching Knights wore hats adorned with bands of red, yel- low and blue, the Pythian colors, and carried Pythian banners.
