SMALL GLEANINGS
IN SUGAR INQUIRY
Only the Figures of Trusts
Recent Buying.
OFFICIAL KNOWS LITTLE ELSE
Cannot Tel Senator Teller Where or
From Whom Raw Material Was Pur-
chased-F Fluctuations of Prices-Other
Witnesses Summoned.

At today's meeting OF the Senate Com
nfttee on Cuban Relations for continuing
the investigation into the ownership OF
Cuban sugars and lands, Henry c. Mott.
buyer OF raw sugar for the trust, offered
statements taken from the books of the
company showing the American Sugar
Company since January l had purchased
90 126 tons of Cuban sugar, OF which 25,17o
tons had been bought in Cuba and shipped
out of the island. e. 986 tons had been
purchased in New York, and 4, $40 tons
owned by the trust is now in store in the
island principally At Havana In the
three months prior TO January l the trust
had also purchased 100 tons OF Cuban
sugar.
Mr. Mott was examined at great length
by Senator Teller with regard to the
methods Of buying sugar in New. York, the
manner Of securing quotations, and what
fixed the price The latter, Mr. Mott said,
depended on the price of beet sugar quoted
il London. although there were times
when those prices were shaded one way or
the other. The fluctuations were due
largely to the supply and demand. Any
marked drop or rise in the price of raw
sugar was reflected in the quotations for
refined sugar
Senator Teller wanted the witness to
furnish the names of the plantations in
Cuba upon which the sugar purchased by
the trust originated. with the idea Of
learning what Americans owned sugar
lands in the island, but Mr.. Mott said
he had no means of knowing. The bills
Of lading did not give the name of the
producer, and there was no way of de-
termining from the books of the company
where it originated Mr.. Mott was then
excused.

One of the bodest attempts at burg
fairy that the police of this side have
had to deal with in recent years, took
place yesterday morning. when two
men effected an entrance into the home
of Mr.. and Mrs. Wesley Thomas, 1913
Eackson street. Fortunately they were
frightened away before they succeeded
in securing the intended booty.
About 8 o'clock yesterday morning
two officers standing on the corner of
Main avenue and Jackson street heard
the persistent barking Of small dog
near the Thomas house. Beholding an
individual standing in front OF the
dwelling and peering UP and down the
street. the officers suspected that there
was something wrong. and the officers
hastened to gain an understanding or
the whole proceedings.
The guard, seeing the bluecoats ap-
pearing. gave a warning cry and then
fled as fast as his legs could carry him.
The officers attempted to capture him.
but in the darkness he succeeded In ef-
fecting his escape, as did the man who
entered the house.
The Thomas family was awakened
with difficulty which was explained
when the smell of chloroform was
noticed about the house.
