Result of the Work of the Sugar Investi-
eating Committee.
WASHINGTON, Aug SENATOR Gray,
chairman, presented the report of the
sugar investigating committee to the
senate and asked that the committee
be discharged. The main report is
signed by all the members of the
committee, but Senators Lodge and
Davis present a supplemental re-
port and Senator Allen also pre-
sents his own views on some
features of the case. The report,
which has the approval of the full
committee, recites the causes which
led up to the investigation and quotes
the article from the Philadelphia Press
on which the charge against SEN
ators was based. Secretary
Carlisle is exonerated, and the
parts of the article rejecting on
him are declared to be without
foundation, except that it is a
fact, according to Secretary' Car
isles testimony, that he did, at
the request of Senator Jones, of
the finance committee, draft an
amendment to the sugar schedule, d
copy of which as described by Mr.. Car
Isle is attached as an exhibit to the

wards, says the report, in publishing
specific charges against public men
without having personal knowledge of
the facts calls for the serious reproba-
tion Of the senate.
