AFTER SUGAR TRUST.
Philadelphia ReceiUer Sends EOi-
dence to the President.

Philadlpha Sent 25-President Roosevelt is IN
possession of evidence furnished by Receiver Earle
of the wrecked Real Estate Trust Company which
is expected to result in proceedings by the Depart
ment of Justice against the so-caled Sugar Trust.
One of the assets of the Real Estate Trust Com
pany is the sugar refinery in this city, built by Adolf
Sega the promoter, whose borrowings from Frank
X Hipple the dead president of the bank, were re-
sponsibe for the collapse of the institution. The
American Sugar Refining Company holds con-
trolling interest I'm this refinery. which has never
been operated and Receiver Earle hopes to show
that it was tied up result of conspiracy IN
which the Sugar Trust was involved
Recently Receiver Earle communicated with the
Department of Justice. and in response Chiet
Wilkie, of the Secret Service Department came 10
this city and held conference with Mr. Earle.
The receiver held a protracted conference to-day
with c. E. HotChkiss of New York, a lawyer, rep
resenting the American Sugar Refining company;
several directors of the Real Estate Trust Com
pany and counsel for Adolf Segal. Mr.. Earle said
the question of whether he should proceed against
the so-called trust under the provisions or the
Sherman act or under the state law was discussed
but not definitely settled. further conference
will be held Tomorrow The receiver evaded a
question as to whether criminal action would be
instituted against the Sugar Trust. Mr. Earle to-
night issued a statement to the creditors of the
Real Estate Trust Company. bearing upon his
contemplated action. 1t is in part as follows:
In the first PLACE: It is true that have &c com n
the conduct of the Sugar Trust.
That communication however, is now his prop
erty, not mine, and l cannot say more than that 1
outlined what / understood TO constitute COM
pete against the organization and some OF It's
officers.
Whatever the President may do. l feel it my i'm
perative duty, having accepted this trust, TO pro-
ceed in this matter. l fully understand the risks
that l incurring, personal and otherwise. and
yet the matter, my MIND is clear that
would be derelict TO duty should 1 hesitate.
have wished to go ahead until felt that
with a moral that would convince anybody,
could myself give legal testimony to make out the
prima facie case, and l am prepared to say that
while no one can predict the result OF such con-
ct. | convinced If live can supply enough
evidence. matter what the trust may do.
Adolf Segal and his counsel have taken the posf
ton that he a solvent man. ruined by the
Vaccinations of this trust. that he is acting in the
best of good faith. and will II he gets justice, be
enabled to liquidate his Indebtedness. l do not
wish to pass upon this question now but in this
fight | do ask that they be given opportunity
to demonstrate their good faith by the assistance
that they render the creditors of this institution in
obtaining Justice.
