II is asserted by the defenders OF
trusts that in almost every instance
the formation OF trust has been fol-
lowed by a decrease in the price Of the
product. This is true, but in most in

by interfering with the operation Of the

there is no conspicuous instance o;

ALLEGED SUGAR ADULTERATION.
4 Matter That Promises to Develop
Considern bic Interest.

Apropos the investigation which the
chemist of the District has begun to de-
termine whether impure foods are being
sold by merchants of the city, officials OF
the general government are interested in a
fight going Oh in Ohio. The government
has already had something to say in the
case So has the Netherlands government.
Three grocers of Columbus, Ohio, were
recently arrested and are soon to be tried
on the charge of selling Dutch sugar al
legged TO be adulterated with ultramarine
blue. The arrests were made at the in
stance of the pure food commissioner Of
the state. These sugars enter in
to competition with the product of
the American Sugar Refining Company. A
New York firm of importers of Dutch
sugar complained to the charge d'affaires
prosecutions were instiga:ed by the sugar
trust with a view of dri yilg Dutch sugars
out of the market. The Netherlands
government last month asked the State
Department TO investigate the matter, if
possible Assistant Secretary Adee commu-
nicated to the governor of Ohio request
that n United States treasury chemist be
permitted to assist in making an analysis
OF the sugars claimed to be adul;erated.
After considerable correspondence be-
tween the pure food commissioner of Ohio
on one hand and the State and Treasury
Department on the other, with the Neither
lands government urging Justice for the
sugars from that country, the Ohio COM
missioner sent samples to the Treasury
Department AT the same time the Ohio
commissioner, however, hin.ed that the
treasury chemists might act in the interest
of the sugar importers of New York, and
stated that he had five competent chemists
under him.
OF the two samples which were sent here
one was turned over to the Department of
Agriculture to be examined by it's chemist
and the other was sent 20 the government
chemist attached to the office of the United
States appraiser at the port of New York.
The Ohio commissioner has insisted on a
prompt report being made, and this has
been promised. Should the reports Of the
chemists he adverse to the sugar the mat
ter will be referred to the Secretary of
Agriculture, who has the power to take
steps looking to the destruction of food
products known to contain matter in
furious to the public health. report
favorable to the sugars may not end the
matter as the importers of Dutch sugars
and the sugar trust appear to be ready
TO fight each other to the bitter end The
representative of the Netherlands views
the matter with deep concern. as he can
not afford TO have the trade Of his country
injured.
