Customs Official Makes Statement About New Orleans Sugar Fraud. "When he grand jury now invosi tigating 'he sampling of sugar at New Orleans finishes its work, it will be found that the frauds against the Government there have been going on for at 'east fifteen years." This statement wu? made Friday by an official of the customs service, who dec) tred all the suspected frauds would lie found in the. sampling of sugar and in the tests which determine the saccharine contents upon which the importer pays duty. An investigation of alleged "drawback "fraus at San Francisco is also imminent. Tn fact, it is known that a preliminary investigation has rurnisned evidence which loads treasury officials to believe that the frauds at San Francisco will eclipse those at New York, which the American Sugar Refining Company recently ordered to settle for $700,000. Evidence collected bv the customs service is said to show the Government has for years zeon paying "drawback" on Phillipine sugar, which came into the Fnited States duty free, was used in the preservation of California fruit and later exported as sugar imported from Java on which duty had been paid. One of the officials of the treasury department Friday said: "The troubles of the sugar importers have only begun. The discoveries of the frauds have only started." * PEACEMAKER THE VICTIM. ?

John 13. Moisant and Arch Hoxsey, aviators ertraordinary, were killed Saturday. J3oth foil out of the treacherous air currents with their machines -neither from a vast height?and Moisant's remaining minutes of life were so few as to count as naught. Hoxsey was killed instant ly. Moisant met his death at 9.55 a. m., attempting to alight in a field a few miles from New Orleans, La. Hoxsey, who went into the air early in the afternoon at Los Angeles, Cal., lay at 2:12 p. in. a crushed, lifeless mass !n view of the thousands | who were watching the aviation tournament. Thus the last day of 1910, in bringing the total number of deaths of aviators to thirty, capped the list with two of the most illustrious of those airmen who have been writing the history of aviation in the skies of two continents. Moisant, a Chleagoan by birth, alter an adventurous life in Central America, became interest*-d in aviation in France less than a year ago. After soaring into public recognition by his plucky bight, from Paris across * I* i:..u nu i ...

Arch Hoxsey. aftor a year of uniform success with the Wright aeroplanes, had gained a name for daring and competence in the air. Only within the week he had set a new world's altitude record of 11,474 feet, and then ro show his contempt for the earth, had sailed majestically more than 4,000 feet above .Mount Wilson.

From his position partly back of the main planes, Moisant was (lipped out. clear of the machine, and struck the ground on his head, breaking ins neck.

Vain attempts, these, for before sutlicient momentum was gained the frail structure was cruin pled upon the earth, the heavy engine being torn loose. Only a few farmers and aids saw ivioisant nurled to his death, but Hoxsey's end came before the horrified Raze of thousands who had come out in the pleasant afternoon to watch the birdmen darting hero and there through the air. The day's pleasure ended when an announcer, sadly lifting his megaphone, droned out the message: "Arch Hoxsey has been killed. There will be no more flying today." Mrs. (\ M. Hoxsey, of Pasadena, Cal., missed by a mere accident seeing her son meet his death. She had arranged to take her first areoplant ride with her son today. Some detail of importance in her household detained her and word of the accident was taken to her by Roy Knahenshue and Thomas Jackson, of the Wright Company. TOLL OF THE MOBS FIFTY - SEVEN PEOPLE WKUK LYNCHED THE YEAH PAST. Florida, (Joorgia, Alabama, Arkansas and Texas IxkI in Tfiis Class of Violent l>eatlis. Only 5 7 lynchings were recorded in the United States in 1910, a much smaller number than in almost any previous year in the last 16. In 1909 the total was 7 0 and in 190 8 it was 65. All but five of the 5 7 cases of lynching in 1910 were of negroes, and ten of the.^e cases were those in which the charge against the victim w.'ir nsKuiilt on white women or airls. In 11 of the remaining number the charge was attempted criminal assault. In the five cases of white men, four were for murder and the other for aiding and abetting in a lull delivery. Several of the cases in which neurons were lynched were based upon the murder, or alleged murder of white women in which the qucs'iou of assault is implied. As in previous years, nearly all the lynchings were in Southern states, Florida and Georgia having ten each, Alabama and Arkansas eight each, Texas six. The only lynching in the North occurred in Ohio, the victim j being Carl Rtherington, and agent of I the Ohio Anti-Saloon league, who| met death at the hands of a mob in ' Newark following nis imprisonment In jail on a charge of having murdered a saloonkeeper while making a raid on an alleged blind tiger. One i man has been convicted of having natieinnted ;n thin Ivncbing and givtn a 20 years prison sentence. Following is the record for t 9 1 0 t by states: Alabama, eight negroes: , Arkansas, eight negroes: Florida.

They were charged with 1 murder and with inciting the siots j during the strike of cigarniakers in Tampa. Another of the white viitiw's was a Mexican ( who was shot and, burned at the stake near the Texas border, follow ing h'^ confession that, i he had murdered a white woman. Of the 5 2 negro victims, two were women. In many of the cases the lynchings followed the arrest or conviction of the victims on the charges made | against them. In other eases thel victims met death while endeavoring to escape from pursuing posses. In two cases the negro victims were lynched by mobs composed of members of their own race. In almost every case the victim was summarily hanged or shot without burning at the stake, such as accompanied these acts of summary vengeance in former years. * 7 4 VFSNKLS LOST And Fifty-l hree People Out of Lost List Year.

Tho case was postponed In tin greatest excitement, a stomach pump was hurriedly brought into play and the sick man was carried first, to the prison hospital, adjacent, and later to Hellevue, where he lies in the prison ward. No charge of attempted sin- | cide is entered against him, and it is thought ho will recover, although the action of hyosein is slow, and much will depend on h)9 vitality. The time at which Robin took the drug is approxiately fixed by the testimony of Dr. Austin Flint, retained for Robin by William Travers .lerome. his counsel; Dr. Louise Robinovitch, his sister, and two detective, from the district attorney's ofllce: who rode with him from his sister's house to the Criminal Couvi building Dr. Flint told the Court that as nearly as he eouid judge from the symp Loms, the poison had been in Robin's | system about three-quarters 011 an | hour when he collapsed.

Dr. Roblnovitcb said her brother was In the habit of | taking hyosein in small doses, to I counteract the effects of morphine which he used to deaden the stabbing pains by which gall stones make themselves known. She kept the drug in her house and she thought her brother swallowed twelve tablets. At Rellevue the examining surgeons estimated that Robin had taken about one-tenth of a grain. Robin seemed in good health Saturday morning, better than at an> time since his troubles commenced. The first sign of illnese was when he staggered, on stopping from his automobile to the Criminal Court building. In the elevator ho weakened so ranidlv that the dotentives had to lift him to n couch. There he sunk into unconsciousness and was not revived until the stomach pump had i been worked vigorously. Its prompt | use undoubtedly saved his life. Outside the corridors of the Criminal Court building fairly hummed with excitement, but in the Court of Coneral Sessions itself Judge Crnin was transacting business as usual when Win. T.
