WASHINGTON, May 30.-The senate Sug-
ar trust investigating committee contin-
ued its inquiry and examined Senators
voorhees,, Jones and Vest OF the finance
committee in regard to the allegations
made concerning the efforts Of the Sugar
trust to influence legislation. They made
a general denial of all the charges made
of the exercise of influence by the Sugar
trust and specifically contradicted the sto-
ry that Secretary Carlisle had made secret
visits TO the committee and demanded that
the sugar interest be protected because Of
the Democratic party's indebtedness to
the Sugar trust.
They agreed that Mr. Carlisle had new
er made such a visit to the committee,
and that no such demand had been made
upon the committee for the reasons given
in Mr. Edwards letter or on any other ac-
count. They also denied the report that a
meeting had been held by the committee
on the Sunday before the tariff bill was
reported for the consideration Of the sugar
schedule and said that if the sugar people
had been together in an adjacent room
while the committee was in session at any
time they were not cosnizant of the fact.
Senator Vest denied emphatically that
he had informed Joe Rickoy of the prog
ress of the committee in considering the
sugar schedule while the bill was In com.
mittee The committee adjourned ovei
until Thursday. The examination OF
members of the finance committee will be
resumed at the next meeting.
