DENYING EVERYTHING
Senators Kidding the Edwards Sugar
Trust Stories.
Senator Cafery and Ben. Lefcvre
Have Something TO the
Point to Say.

Yesterday afternoon Senator Caffery and
ex-Copgressman Ben Lefevre were brought
the Senate investigating committee. Both
witnesses volunteered their appearance.
Their names had been connected with the
operations of the sugar trust in its sup
posed efforts to influence legislation by Mr..
Edwards. in his letter to the Philadel )hia
Press, In which he asserted that Senator
Caffery had drafted the sugar schedule in
committee room of the Capitol, in the pres
ence Of Mr.. Havemeyer and others friendly
to his interests. including Mr.. Lefevre " lille
the finance committee was waiting in anoth-
er room. The committee was represented
as anxiously awaiting the action of these
representatives of the two branches of the
sugar industry, the manufacturers and the
growers. and Mr.. Havemeyer was pictured
as standing over the shoulders of Mr. Caf-
fiery, while Mr.. Caffery put the sugar
amendment in shape for the committee
Both Senator Caffery and Mr.. Lefevre de-
MED the story. Mr.. Lefevre said that he
knew neither Mr.. Havemeyer nor Mr.
Searles. nor any of the other reported mem
oers OF the sugar trust, except Mr.. Terrell
He said. also. that he had never dealt in
sugar stocks, and, in general. denied any
knowledge of efforts to control legislation
by that company.
Sduefy also was questioned con-
corning the efforts made to provide protec-
ton for sugar in the tariff bill now pending
and II Is understood that while he confessed
10 general interest In that direction and
admitted that he had worked in that behalf
he disavowed any effort TO promote the in
terests Of the trust
Apropos OF Mr.. Edwards refusal to civ.
the name OF his authority for the state
ment that Secretary Carlisle had cared
before the tariff subcommittee of the Son
ate committee on finance and had demand
ed that sugar be taken care of because OF
the assistance the trust had afforded the
democratic party in the last campaign-
senator Jones was asked what founda tion
there was for the story. None" he re-
Piled None whatever. 1 think / have at
tended every meeting of the tariff subcom-
mittee and of the finance committee this
session, but no such scene as Mr. Edwards
describes was ever enacted, nor a demand
made by Mr.. Carlisle for the protection on
sugar With reference to the other charge
that Secretary Carlisle prepared the sugar
schedule, added Mr.. Jones' Il would SAY
that my recollection is that / prepared tba
sugar schedule in the bill as first report,d
The schedule in the last bill reported was
put in shape at the Treasury Department
at my request, in order that the admin
istrative feature of the schedule should be
In correct form. The suggestion of the
rate and all the essential details of the
schedule were from me-"

by the students in the other departments
OF the university and their guests. Prof
j. l.. Ewell, dean of the department pre-
sided. The regular choir of the church
under direction of Prof. J. T. Layton open

wORkINGMEN PROTEST.
A Committee Objects TO the CommfsS
sfoners Conclusions on Wages.


An address to the public has been pre-
pared and issued by a joint committee OF
the Federation of Labor and District As
sembly. No. 90. respecting the action OF the
District Commissioners in reporting Q sub
stitute for Senate bill 1851, entitled q bill to
provide work for the unemployed persons
within the District OF Columbia by provid-
ing for a comprehensive system of sewer
and street improvements. and the employ
ment of laborers thereon at a daily wage OF
$50 for eight hours work. and proposing
an appropriation OF N.OvU.Vo0 for the pur-
poses OF the bill
The report calls attention TO the fact that
the Commissioners disapproved the bill and
substituted one which the report character
lies as an insult to labor and highly vicious
IN principle. Ii is stated that the two as
sociaticns therefore protest against the
adoption of the Commissioners substitute
ana deem 1t heir duty Ia publicly question
the statements made by the Commissioners
in their letter transmitting the substitute.
The Commissioners. the report sets forth,
object TO $50 per day for eight hours
work being paid laborers on the improve
ments. because. in :heir opinion. lit would
result in great hardship to the employers
Of labor in the District"
The report says: 1T is apparent that
these gentlemen have not the slightest con-
sideration for the thousands who are suffer-
ing great hardships." imposed upon them
by an industrial condition which forces upon
wage-worker idleness or the very restricted
opportunity to work long hours at a rate OF
NaEe-workers idleness or the very Restricted
the operation of the vagrant law. 1t is this
condition the Commissioners would have
legalized at this time. because, as they
state, thousands Of idle men would be
glad TO work for 81 for ten hours IL oppor-
tunity We're given. This is simply an argu-
ment for vicious legislation. which takes
advantage of the necessities of the thou
sands OF worthy working residents of this
District; IL is an attempt TO befoul the
statutes by legalizing an Industrial condi-
ton which is neither credltable TO the state
nor our civillza ,ion."
The report is quite long and is signed by
the following members of the two organi-
cations: Milford Spohn. +. J. Rea, E. +.
Pywell. William L. Dewart Geo. +. Butler,
s. A. Clements.

a sharp contest had been waged and where
the prohibitionists' reform ticket triumphed
over the straight democratic organization
by a majority of from 1000 TO 800 The
reform ticket was also chosen at Basic
City, over the regular democratic nominees
by a majority OF a. An unusually large
vote was polled at Charlottesville. though
there was no excitement there. The cleo
ton in Richmond was a mere form to con-
firm the result OF the democratic primary
Of some weeks ago. Ii was for all the gem
eral offices. a full council. half the alder
men and justices of the peace. There were
no candidates other than democrats. except
in jackson ward, the negro stronghold.
where the republicans had triangular
fight for justice and councilmen. They
made no opposition 10 the general ticket,
and the election of their ward ticket was
a foregone conclusion. The vote was very
light Generally the result was simply
ratification of the will OF the democratic
majority already expressed.
