The Congress sman Confirms Gaston's
Story About the Conference.
Washington, June 6-Under pressure
from the sugar scandal investing com
mittee, Mr., CASTOR, the wire manufac-
turer, today told the committee that it
was Representative Cadmus, of New
Jersey, to whom he had told the story of
what he overheard at the Arlington
hotel Representative Cadmus was sent
for and appeared promptly.
Mr. Cadmus said that Mr. CASTOR had
met him in the hotel corridor on the
morning following the night of the con-
ference, and had slapped him on the
shoulder with an evident show of salts
faction, saying: "Cadmus, l don't be-
lieve the tarin bill is going to pass" He
then related TO the congressman how the
loud discussion had continued throughout
the foregoing night.
The details as given by Mr. Cadmus
were cOnhrmatory of those already given
by Mr. Castor. The main point of them
was that they appeared to have led Mr.
Castor to the conclusion. which he fire.
quently repeated, that he felt satisfied
the tariff bill would not pass
The committee asked Mr.. Cadmus to
give the names of those present at the
conference. He answered that he did
not recall that Mr.. CASTOR mentioned the
| names of any public men or others pres
ent. Mr.. Cadmus added, with emphasis,
that if he had learned any names he
would positively decline to give them to
the committee.
