INDIGNANT JOURNALISTS
Said to Have Rod In Pickle For q Certain

Star says: If current reports are true,

gress shall end.
The story has reached here that one OF
the incidents of the Sugar trust campaign
In Washington last winter was the raising
of purse by the Sugar trust people to be
given this enterprising correspondent, to
be distributed in Washington among the
press people, where lit would do the most
good" in the opinion of those who FUR
nished the money.
And that place was the pockets OF thoSe
representatives of the press Of the coun'
try here, who, with or without right, are
supposed to have influence in congress and
In the making of public opinion through
out the country.
There are intimations that q list was
furnished of the names of correspondents
to whom this fund was to be distributed,
and that the expectation was that 1t would
be expended in part in dinners and part In
ways that would be appreciated by those
for whom 1t was intended.
If there is anything in this story, ii
will be found that not one dollar OF this
alleged fund ever passed to the represents
tive correspondents orwhom it is reported
that 1t was designed. The man who I'M
dertook to disburse this fund did SO with
the full knowledge that it would not be
safe for him to approach any Of the gentle
men whose names may have appeared on
tn pretended list for any such purpose
Efforts are being made to ascertain the
truth of this report, and if it shall be vcri
fed, some of the correspondents intend
that he will hear more later, possibly in
