American Sugar Refining
Co. Issues Statement.
Says No Two Persons Gould
Make the Weights Agree.
Offered to Help Government Prsbs
y. w.. And Settle Duty. ~. '..''.' =, =.

New York. Nov. 1.-THE charges of
fraud in the weighing of sugar on
which the United States government
bases its suit to receiver .$3,624. 900 from
the American Sugar Refining Co, We're
denied in a statement issued by that
company today. The allegations of the
government are that it has been de-
f-auded of duties on sugar for six
years past and it asks for .$1,500,000 in
duties and the forfeiture Of sugar
valued at $2,224, 900 on which it charges
that custom duties have not been paid.
The American Refining Co. in it's
statement issued today declares that
during that six years the company
has paid nearly S300,OO0O0O in customs
duties and that the claim of the gov
ernment is for about one-half of
pei cent Of that amount The COM
pany asserts that no two persons
weighing the amount of sugar calling
for the payment of that duty could
make the weight agree within the diff
ference claimed by the government.
The charge, the company says, carries
its own refutation. and it asserts '"that
it believes that if any fair minded per-
sons would participate in the investi-
onstrated that there is nothing in. it,
The company stated also that it had
taken the position from the beginning
of the governments investigation that
it. would pay all the duty which was
proved to be omitted and would aid
in the investigation. In this connec-
ton the company made public letter
which it sent to George B. rortelyou.
secretary of the treasury. in Novem-
ber 1907. offering to put its books and
papers in the hands of the govern
ment to facilitate the investigation.
and to make an inquiry of its own and
deliver the results of it to the gov
ernment In this letter also the COM
pany stated that it had been inform
that one of its employees had been
charged with attempted bribery of a
government agent and had also been
Informed that persons acting under
the authority of the government had
stated tc. employees of the company that
there was an intention to make D
charge of fraud. but that it could
be quieted by money payment" The
company offered to investigate this al
legation, y y. a......ss ,.t.,
