June 19.—Announce ment may be made late today of ail the investors who bid successfully for the new three per cent $50,000,- 000 Panama loan. As the tabulating has progressed, it has become more apparent that most of the issue will go to individu als, trustees of estates, schools and public Institutions rather than to banks.

Although the treasury will realize about $.51,200,000 from the sale, that will reimburse the cash drawer for only about a third of what haa been advanced for the building of the Panama canal. Thep roceeds of this loan, however, will strengthen the working balance to probably $90,000,- 000 and no immediate issue of more bonds seems probable. There is still $240,000,000 of the same sort of bonds available for issue, according to law. The government will deliver the bonds at the direction of the buyers. As the bonds are dated June 1, the coupon form w’ill be delivered with the first interest coupon clipped off and a treasury check for the proper amount of interest will be mailed to the holders. Some live trading In the bonds is expected on the New York curb dur ing the coming week. One estimate is that $8,000,000 of the securities were sold during the last month for deliv ery when issued, some at prices higher than 103. With the addition of this $50,000,- 000 issue, tjie bonded indebtedness of the United States is increased to $963,000,000. Of that $731,000,000 draws interest at 2 per cent; $114,- 000,000 at 3 per cent and $118,000,- 000 at 4 per cent. Most of those bonds, with the exception of this new est issue are held by national banks and are used as the basis of note cir culation. Banks may use the new bonds as security for public deposits. There is a limited demand for them for that purpose.

' Liege, Belgium, June 19.—The avia tors N'ho accomplished the perilous first stage of the European circuit race are resting here today. Tomorrow the second flight will be attempted. Rain fell neavily^ the weather beiug in kee];>■^; ing with the spirits of the airmen, who are much depressed over the series of fatalities which marred the sport at its inauguration yesterday. New’s of the frightful accidents pre ceded the aviators here. Captain Princelau and M. Landron, were burn ed to death in midair, following the explosion of their motors. M. Lemartin was crushed to death when his ma chine became unruly and struck a tree near Chateau-Thierry soon after the start from Paris. M. Gaubert and M. Bille fell and were seriously injured. M. Loridan, Oscar Morrison and M. Morin also dropped to the ground, but were less seriously hurt. This morning word was received that a monoplane had fallen near Charleville. The identity of the pilot or the extent of his injuries has not been learned. A report from Soissons, France, says that Gaubert’s condition today is satisfactory and unles there are unex pected complications his recovery seems assured. Seven of the contestants arrived here yesterday and eight others this morning. The latter had met with temporary mishaps, causing delays. They arrived here as follows: Kimmerling, 4:54 a. m.; Tabuteau, 5:58 a. m.; Provost 6:34 a. m.; Wyn- maten, 6:40 a. m.; Amerigo. 7:42 a. m.; Bathiat, 7:54 a. m.; Gibert, 8:20 a. m.; Verrept, 8:36 a. m. The second stage of the race is from Liege to Utrecht, 210 kilometres (130 miles), which will bring the successful ones a total of 342 miles from Paris. Death of Landron. Further details of the death of Landron have been received from Ctateau-Thierry. The aviator, who was about 23 years of age, was flying at a height estimated at from 1,800 to 3,- 000 feet, over the village of Epieds, when suddenly the villagers were hor rified to to see the machine and aviator enveloped in flames. Then there was heard a faint report as of an explosion and the ball of fire pitched earthward, turning over and over as it fell. .The aviator was hurled from his seat clear of ihe flames, which streamed 50 feet behind the aeroplane. Villages who hurried to the scene with a fire engine, found Landron dead and the machine a complete wreck. The race, so unhappily begun, is to cover a course from Paris to London, and return, a total distance of nearly 1,000 miles. The prizes, aggregating $94,000. Fifty aviators started, of whom 38 are civilians and 12 army officers, assigned to aviation service. Ten of the number never got be yond the lines of the manoeuvering field, three more were killed on the first stage of the flight and several others were injured. Later word from St. Laurent throws doubt on the first report. It is now said that an unknown aviator descend ed rather roughly in a field, but that he soon afterward again ascended ap parently not much injured. THREE ILS LOS[ LIVES IN By Ascsociated Press. Washington, June 19.—With two separate committees of the house delv ing into the history and operation of the American Sugar Refining Com pany and other sugar corporations, there were brought out today surpris ing tales of riches made over night and sorbid storiea of Alleged frauds against the government. The-special ..'‘sugar trust” investiga ting committee continued its inquiry into the formation and workings of the big sugar corporations, having before it is a witness James H. Post, presi dent of the National Sugar Refinii^ Company of New Jersey. The commit tee on expenditures in the Treasury Department began work on another an gle of the investigation, that of the re cent weighing frauds at the port of New- York, questioning Oliver Spitzer, one of the dock superintendents who was convicted and later pardoned by the president. Mr. Post told how^ H. O. Hayemeyer had been rew’arded for forming the National Sugar Refining Company, of New Jersey, by stock in the refinery worth $10,000,000, stock which since had earned in dividends $2,500,000 more. Mr. Post insisted that the $10,- 000,000 did not represent only a prom oters profit. Pressed for some explanation of what it did represent, he finally an swered : “Well, there were three refineries put together.” Asked how Havemeyer got posses sion of the stock, the witness locani- cally replied:. I sent it to him a few days after I received it.” Spitzer told the committee on ex penditures in the treasury department the entire history of the sugar weigh ing frauds, describing dishonest schemes employed on the sugar docks as far back as 1885. Physicians are Gath ering For Annual State Convention The Light Rams Break Drought By Associated Press. Houston, Texas, June 19.—The long drought in this immediate section was broken by light rains this morn, ing. Advices from several points in the coast region told of good showers during the night and this morning. Teague reported a two hour rain in that section last niglat and Waco a half inch rain last night. The Waco rain came in time to benefit corn in some bottom fields. These rains all appear to have been scattered showers rather than a gen eral precipitation covering a big ter ritory. By Associated Press. Eaton Rapids, Mich., June 19.—Lela and 1-iena Stewart, sisters, aged 3 6 and 14, and Fern Hall, aged 14, were drowned yesterday when their canoe capsized in Spring Brook, a branch of Grand river, in this city. There were no witnesses of the acci dent and t’he first known of it was when the girls’ canoe was found float ing, bottom upward, on the stream. The three bodies were found close together a short distance above where the canoe was discovered. It is thought that the canoe struck a snag, causing it to capsize.

Lisbon, Portugal, June 19.—A con stituent assembly organized ' today with 192 deputies ratified the govern ment’s edict formally proclaiming the republic of Portugal, the abolition of the monarchy and the proscription Washington, June 19.—That the gov ernment has erred in its facts in the formal petition seeking the dissolution of the American Sugar Refining Com pany was the declaration of James H. Post, president of the National Sugar Refining Company, of New Jersey, when he appeared before the house sugar trust” investigation committee. Mr. Post flatly denied the allegation contained in the government’s petition that he was the agency through which an attempt was made by two great refining companies to control the sugar market. The denial came when Chairman Hardwick, of the committee questioned Mr. Post as to the alleged manner in which he, as the head of the National Sugar Refining Company in 1894, ef fected a deal by which his company and the American Sugar Refining Com pany agreed to limit the output of re fined sugar and fix prices. “There is no foundation for that,” de clared Mr. Post. “Don’t you know anything about such an agreement,” urged Chairman Hsirdwick. “I read that, but I can’t Imagine to what they refer. The organization of the New Jer sey corporation was taken up. The cap italization of th^ new company, Mr Post testified, was $20,000,000, divided equally between preferred and common stock. The companies taken in were capitalized at between $3,000,000 and $4,000,000. “And the difference was water?” in quired Mr. Hardwick. “No,” was the reply. "The companies had valuable properties. The property of the New York Sugar Refining Company, one of the compan ies bought, Mr. Post said, was worth $2,500,000 while only $2,125,000 was paid for it.

Carpenter, in the United States dis trict court today denied a motion of J. Ogden Armour and nine other Chi cago packers for a reheVing of their motion to quash indictments charging violation of the Sherman anti-trust act. This means the paclcers must stand trial. No w'^ritten opinion had been prepar ed by Judge Carpenter and he gave no reason for his finding. It is now expect ed the trial will be reached about next October. The latest motion of the packers for a rehearing of. their motion to ciuash the Indictments was based on rpc^nt decisions of the United States supreme court in the Standard Oil and the American Tobacco cases. Counsel for the packers held that there had been “no unreasonable” re straint of the packing industry. The next move in the case, it is said, will b^ for the packers to enter a plea to the charge in the indictments. KING GEORGE'S SPECIAL EDESTS AREARRIHING By Associated Press. London, June 19.—A score of King George’s coronation guests, accompan ied by their suites, reached London tliis morning and, with as many more from foreign courts the states due to arrive this evening, will complete prac tically the assemblage of foreign mis sions. John Hays Hammond,' special Unit ed States ambassador, and his suite, will be included in the later arrivals, coming from Dover on a special train. Throughout the day special after spec ial rolled into the different London railway terminals, bringing in princes and special ambassadors and their suites from all points of the globe. The streets presented a lively appear ance with a constant coming and go ing of the royal carriages with their escorts, conveying the guests to Buck ingham Palace and other palaces and the private residences given over for the entertainement of their envoys. The night long work of the army of decorators served to enliven most of the streets in the center of London. Flags gave a gala appearance, which the intermittent rainstorms could not spoil. The decorations and illustra tions are on a scale never before at tempted in England, and the demand for electric lighting is so great that the electrical companies have served public notice that their capacity to supply the current has been reached and that they cannot undertake fur ther contracts. The German crown prince and his paily, Prince Henry of Prussia, and Prince Henry of the Netherlands, were among this morning’s arrivals. The Duke of Connaught and other members of the royal family flitted from station to station to meet each new comer, undeterred by the showers of mud that their swiftly moving vehicles tossed up. The police appear smitten by the coronation fever. They throng the streets in such multitudes as to make progress anywhere in the center of fashionable London a matter of diffi culty.
