WASHINGTON, June S.-The committee
investigating the sugar trust resumed its
session to-day. H. L. Terrill, who repre-
sented thesrefners here while the tariff
bill was under consideration in commit
tee was examined. It is understood Ter
rill said he had no knowledge of any
statement published concerning alleged
improper sugar-trust influences in franz
ing the tariff schedule. When asked as
to the report written by Edwards of the
conference at the Arlington Hotel, over
heard by CASTOR. Terrill said he spent the
evening in his room at the hotel with
gentlemen whose names were given by
Edwards, namely, Senators Brice and
Smith and h. O. Hayemeyer and Henry
Breed of the sugar trust. He said they
discussed the schedule on sugar and had
referred TO the probability of tariff legis-
lation in the interest of sugar, but he de-
MED the conversation had been of the
character represented by Edwards or that
there had been any references to the en-
hancement Of sugar stock for the purpose
of influencing legislation. Terrlll ac-
knowledged being present at Senator
Camden's rooms opposite the Arlington
when Jones met Havemeyer.
Mr.. Terrell admitted that he had como
to Washington last March at Havemey-
er's request; that he knew of no purchase
of sugar stock made by Senators. He was
before the committee an hour and half.
He denied that any such meeting as that
described by Schriever and CASTOR had
ever occurred.
T. E. Roselle was examined especially
concerning the reports OF occurrences at
his hotel, the Arlington. He was asked
as to statements made by previous wit
ness that he had said he was sending
Senators up back elevator to the rooms
Of the gentlemen. He declared there was
no truth in this.
A. II. Chapman, of the brokerage firm
of Moore IL Schlyef. New York, declined
to answer the first material question put
to him by the committee, which was to
the effect that his firm had dealt largely
in sugar. When this question was asked
he desired to consult his counsel and
he was given until tomorrow to do
so. He declined to state whether his
firm had acted for Mr.. Brice or other
Senators in the purchase of sugar or
other speculative stocks. He said since
he had consented to act as Havemeyer's
attorney he had talked sugar" with all
the Senators he knew-Senators Brice,
Camden, German Oems.J and Aldrich
(Rep). He talked with them with view
of keeping Havemeyer advised of the
situation and of impressing Havemeyer's
views on them.
He had sometimes gone to the houses
of the Senators. He frequently took din
ner with Brice at the latter's home, and
saw Camden at his rooms. He had also
seen German at his rooms and he had
seen Aldrich at the hotel. 81 had no de-
signs on Aldrich or any one else.' he
said. 81 never said word to them ex-
cept in the line of fair argument. and
never made proposition that was not
proper one" He was not certain whether
Havemeyer had ever seen German while
in Washington, but thought he had. He
maintained that he could not tell the
tenor of the conversation at the Airing
ton. He was sure Havemeyer concluded
his talk with Brice before Senator Smith
appeared.
