er Describes Trust Methods to Con-
troll Prices as "Damnable."
Washington, Nov. 1.-THE allega-
ton that the so-called sugar trust"
controls the price paid the grower and
the price charged the consumer of
sugar, the secretary Of war putting
himself on record as a champion of
free entry for Philippine sugar and
the general stand pat" attitude of
the beet sugar growers who appear
ed before the ways and means COM
mittee of the house, were the fea-
lures of the days hearing on the re-
vision OF the tariff as it would affect
sugar.
Secretary Of War Luke G. Wright
and General Clarence Edwards, chief
of the insular bureau, were present
ut the hearing. Asked IL he cared to
make any remark, the former COVER
nor Of the islands said:
From what l have just heard, the
principal objection by the beet sugar
grower to the admission free Of duty
OF Philippine sugar lies In the dan
Ger that their markets will be inun-
dated by the Philippine article. 1t
is not possible that the Philippine
Islands could supply the actual in
crease in demand for sugar year by
year in the United States. In that
case there is no reason why the Phil
ippine Islands should affect the mar
ket until the beet and cane sugar
produced within the tariff wall in
creases 100000 tons. Before the
beet sugar industry is in the slight
est danger 1t must increase from
100000 tons annually to 2, 10000 tons,
md from annual reports it would
take SO years to do this. 1 can't see
how 1t would affect the domestic pro-
duction II Philippine sugar were
placed for a time on the free list"
Much information concerning the
cost Of producing the sugar, the
profits derived, capital invested and
methods of growing and refining was
offered. Colonel ID. d. Colcock, on
behalf Of the Louisiana cane sugar
growers, said that the methods by
which the trust" names the price
which 1t would pay the grower we're
unfair and "damnable." Henry T..
Oxnard, F. R. Hathaway, G. N.
Smith, F. T. Scholes, W. G. McCor-
mick and w. H. Baird, representing
the beet sugar manufacturers of the
west asked. that the present tariff be
maintained, lor If changed, that it be
increased, claiming that the margin
OF profit on beet sugar was too small
to. permit of any competition with
the foreign refiners.
E. F. Atkins, who is testifying be-
fore the commission today, is charg-
ed by F. r. Hathaway, representing
the Michigan Sugar company, with
having mot only prophesied, but
threatened, a revolution in Cuba
which would result in the annexation
of Cuba and ultimate free trade, if
the request for reduction is not
granted"

FRANCIS J. HENEY.

The shooting of Francis j. Heney
in San Francisco will probably have,
a good influence on the graft prose-
cutions there.
When the earthquake devastated
that great California city, one
Schmitz was mayor and Abraham
Ruef now on trial was the political
boss Both the great parties had,
been discredited and the people had
elected so-called labor ticket. =
The upheaval in business and the.
Reorganization of society caused by
the earthquake and fire were the OPP
portunities for the grafters Mayor
Schmitz who rose to the occasion
during the city's great trouble could
not resist the temptations offered
The city's streets were sold to the
railroads. Previous to the fire, the
: street car company had tried in vain
to be allowed to stretch overhead
electric wires on the main streets.
In the civic confusion after the ca
tastrophe, Schmitz, Ruef and the
Supervisors sold a franchise for
overhead wires. The TELEPHONE com
pany was held up. The French res
taurants paid tribute. Nothing was
too small for the attention of the
boodlers.
They seemed firmly entrenched in
power and became reckless and de-
faint. Finally the city woke up. An
honest district attorney was in of
fee. The grand jury indicted scores.
Many turned states evidence The
citizens organized league and con-
tributed literally to the prosecution.
Francis j. Heney had been con-
aucting land prosecutions for the
Emitted States in Washington and
OREGON. He had secured convictions
against 33 men out of "a tried, among
them Senator Mitchell. The District
Attorney was prevailed upon by the
Citizens League to make Heney his
assistant.
Sohmitz, the mayor, was convicted
of extortion and compelled to resign
his office. Ruef pleaded guilty and
testified against his fellow grafters.
But the Court of Appeals reversed
the judgment against Schmitz and
thus set aside Ruef's plea of guilty.
In the meantime several so-called
leading citizens who had paid the
br1bess were also convicted. :, .,ss.;s
50 TKesfetefsa4 of the eases against
the mayor and the Boss put new heart
into the heodlers-a la the second trial
of Ruef, the jury disagreed and one
man was arrested, pleaded guilty and
confessed. that he had been offered
$4,000 to fix the jury. The third
trial is now on. During its progress,
one Haas, saloonkeeper, who had
been exposed on the second jury by
Heney as an ex-convict and forced
off the. panel, shot Heney during
recess in the trial.
: The latest information is that Hen
ey will recover while his assailant
