chased some Sugar stock in October and
November and had sold it in December
when Congress convened. Questions put
by Senators Allen and Davis developed
the fact that Senator. A1cPhersons son

stock bought on the 22d and sold on the
Goth of February. Closely questioned by
Senator Allen, of Nebraska, Senator Nc
Pherson stated that it was in the power
of the Sugar Trust to put up or down the
price of its stock, and he knew this before

and his son that the telegraphic order for
Sugar stock of February ID was not to
be sent, and that his son went to New
York the night it was written. He
thought the order had been carelesslI left
on the desk and had been inadvertently
sent by Il servant.

was examined on the basis Of Il newspa-
per statement that an effort, which had
been instigated by men of great promi-
hence in the Democratic party, had been
made to cause Mr.. Warner to cease his

was pending in the House. Mr.. Warner
said that the suggestion had been made
to him that if there was not Il duty on
sugar. the Sugar Trust would beat the
bill, but he declined to state from whom
the suggestion had come; it was from
members of the House of Representa-
tiveS.
Regarding the alleged campaign contri
buttons by the Sugar Trust, Mr.. Warner
said he had often heard it charged that
there was one. possibly amounting to
$500 900, but he knew nothing about it.
