These claims have been oottiea by
payments Into tho treasury and by re
leases. The W. J. McCnhan Sugar
Refining company paid ?100,000, the
Franklin Sugar Refining company paid
$124,3S0 and a, release from liabilities
arising from excess collections of coun
tervailing duties on sugars Imported at
Philadelphia and New York amounting
to $22,000.
The Franklin Sugar Refining com
pany Included In its sottlcmont tho
claims against Itself and tho Sprocket
Sugar Refining company, both compa
nies having operated virtually as one
under the so called trust
The findings of tho grand Jury failed
to show evldenco that tho officers or
directors of any of tho company or any
of the higher officials In tho customs
servlco were participants in tho frauds
or that there was any bribery of gov
ernment weighers. Tho frauds aro ac
counted for largely bocauso of lax dis
cipline. This, according to tho treasury de
partment statement, made It possible
for the refinery employees to get the
better of tho government agents. Pos
sibilities for such further Irregularities
have been eliminated. The methods of
weighing sugar will bo improved by
the Installation of automatic electric
scales.

Democrat, has introduced a bill In tho
house authorizing the secretary of tho

Mr. Levy declared, which would bo
augmented by tho salo of Panama ca

HER WALK PSYCHOLOGICAL
Woman Tramps From New York to
Chicago to Prove Certain Theories.
Mrs. Clara Mitchell has Just com
pleted a walk from New York to' Chi
cago, made as a psychological experi
ment. She had ideas different from
certain pedestrians regarding tho num
ber of miles to bo traveled each day,
diet and other tilings.
Mrs. Mitchell said threo theorIo3 liad
boon proved by tho trip first, that
physical endurance docs not dopend
on diet or musclo; second, that tho
power of Intuition is a safeguard and
a guido and, third, that motor action
ceases to bo effort when It becomes a
habit
"Thero was not ono unpleasant ex
perience during tho trip," said Mrs.
Mitchell. "When noon arrived my in
tuition would guido mo to a houso
whero I would bo welcomed and caus
ed mo to shun places whero I might
havo mot with a rebuff. Tho walk
proved my threo theories to my satis
faction and was a successful experi
ment from a psychological standpoint"
By ESTHER VANDEVEER
My name Is Arietta Hope. I consist
of 400 pages, with a good deal on a
page. I nm of two kinds, printed mat
ter and girl. The girl part Is heroine
and tho paper part Is book. Hut since
the heroine part Is the living half 1
consider myself Arietta Hope.
My maker Is a woman of thirty-five,
nn ago at which one may be expected
to have attained to a correct knowl
edge of her sex. Yet since she did not
Issue mo under her own name, but the
assumed name of a man, Edgar Har
ding, she Is not only unknown to those
who havo read me, but unless sho Is
betrayed by certain feminine traits
displayed hi mo she Is supposed to bo
Marcellne. When my maker had fin
ished me she sent me tho round of
publishers through the express com
panies, so that she did not make her
self known t them. However, she re
quested as an especial favor that they
would send her tho criticisms of their
"readers," these persons being employ
ed to read manuscripts and report to
tho publisher whether each In their
opinion would bo a profitable book for
them to publish. The publishers usu
ally paid very little attention to my
maker's request, though a few did.
These criticisms were almost always
where tho "reader" had made some
facetious remark about tho story. The
first one ray maker received was as
follows:
"Mr. Harding has written a long
story purporting to portray a womau.
The author must have written the
book with a mirror before him. Wheth
er ho has portrayed himself or not is
not apparent, but certain It Is that
he has painted a man in petticoats.
Arietta nope gives every evldenco of
having been constructed by one of tho
male sex. I would decline It."
Long after the receipt of the criti
cism my maker made tho acquaintance
of this critic and found him to bo a
young man still In his 'teens.
My maker, having spent two years
upon inc. at the same tlmo studying
different women from whom she drew
certain feminine traits which she In
stilled into me, was much discouraged.
If the representative of a prominent
publishing house had mistaken her
heroine for a pettlcoated man, what a
dreadful failure she must havo madel
She put me in a closet and looked me
up with the intention of never taking
me out again. But some one told her
that Dodson & Co. were rooking for
novels not of the flashy type, but stud
ies of character and she decided to
submit me to them. So I was sent by
express, a letter going by mall beg
ging the firm to give her some Jdea of
the merits and demerits especially the
latter of the story. Tho manuscript
was returned to her, accompanied by a
letter, in which tho writer courteously
explained to her that more than 90 per
cent of tho novels published were read
by women. Women required stories
that showed the feminine touch. Mr.
Harding had shown high literary ex
cellence, but he had not succeeded in
portraying a woman.
My maker determined that when she
sent me out again she would adopt a
feminine nom de plume. She made a
new title page, with Edith Granger on
it instead of Edgar Harding, aud dis
patched me to the Parklngton Publish
ing company. She was again success
ful In eliciting a courteous reply, which
included the reader's report. It was as
follows:
"Tho author has given a picture of a
woman who is sure to antagonize her
own sex. Arietta Hope is altogether
too feminine for a heroine. In reading
about her we would surmise, did we
not know to the contrary, that sho had
been drawn by a man, so many of
those volatile traits common to wom
en aro found in her traits that men
lovo to ridicule."
"Good gracious!" exclaimed my mak
er when she rad this. "Then I've
Jumped from the frying pan into the
flrer
My maker determined upon one more
effort, and If that failed she was re
solved to burn me. She sent me to
Littleton Brothers. Within a few days
she received a letter from the firm
stating bluntly that they would not
care to publish me ut their own risk,
but If sho would pay tho cost of pub
lication tlioy would put their imprint
on tho title page of tho book, publish
ing it as their own.
My maker having nil a woman's cu
riosity, desiring to discover who was
right about the book, accepted tho con
ditions. Sho sent tho publishers u
check, and they published me.
I was a long whllo getting before tho
public, but I succeeded in tho end.
Certain mon recommended mo bocauso
they said I was a man's woman, and
rertalu women spoko well of mo bo
causo they said I was a woman's wo
man. This at lost gave tno a start
and as I pleased both mon and wo
men I took In all there was except tho
children. Anyway, I kepi growing and
growing in popular favor till I was
pronounced what publishers call "phe
nomenal." Littleton Brothers wero very, angry
because they must pay a larger royalty
than usual, having published mo for
my author instead of thomselves. Nov.
orthcless, they made a fortune out of
mo, and whem congratulated on their
foresight they look wiso and say noth
ing. I am now In my fourth hundred
thousand, and tho demand for mo con
tinues. My maker has built a country
place, whero lw has re"tirod, spending
much of her time In declining requests
of publishers that sho write for thorn.
