THE SUGAR INVESTIGATION


WASHINGTON, June 1O.-Mr. Theodore

brother, Ii. o. Havemeyer, and Mr., Searles,

He said, however, that no money had been
spent to secure or defent legislation or to
aid in securing the election Of United
States senator
The committee has decided to summon
every member of the senate before it, The
committee begunits examination of sem
ators by having the five members compos-

Lodge and Allen-take the oath and give
testimony. Each answered that he had
nothing So do with sugar speculation or
with the many attempts OF the sugar
trustto have the sugar schedule modified.
Then the other members were called in
alphabetical order.
Senator Brce was detained longer be.

PeoulIarities of the Terrible Plague Which

1 the singular plague which is now ravag-

1 most fatal disease Is really very similar to
| the black death or plague which devas-
tated London, as told by Defoe. 1t has its
origin in funnan, Chinese province
where it is epidemic. The Catholic mis-
sionaries there held that 1t was really a
! pestilentiaf emanation slowly rising in an
rquable stratum from the ground, and as
it increases in depth all animals are, as it
were, drowned in its poisonous flood-the

the turn of the poultry. After the poultry

1t often happens that the patient sud
denly, to all appearances, recovers and
leaves his bed, but in such eases the ter
mination is always a collapse and death.
