TRADE KILLED IN BALTIMORE
Trust Got Hold of q New Rennery-In-
dustry Dead There.

dustry Dead There.
BALTIMORE. Nov. I6.-The sugar trust
exposure has recalled how the trust
destroyed the sugar industry of Balti-
more. which was one Of the leading i'm
porting ana refining cities on tho Allan
tic coast After the formation of the
trust the refining Of sugar gradually
ceased there. then the Importation OF the
finished material followed. until to-day
scarcely q pound Of the finished product
passes through the local custom house
The raw material ceased to be imported
here years ago.
The loss Of business by the old refiners
was believed to be due to lack OF modern
facilities, 80 about fifteen years ago
several Baltimore capitalists. inciudin q
Senator Rayner's father. built a large
refinery at Curtis Bay. 1t was admir-
ably situated and was equipped with the
best machinery. but soon after it was
built the trust secured IL and shut it down
The trust officials said il was inadequate
in size. although it had a capacity OF
900 to 200 barrels a day. 1t was after
ward sold to a fertilizer concern. Efforts
were made later to revive the industry
here but it was found impossible to COM
pete with the trust.
An attempt to use the refinery was made
by Francis X. Carey, the owner Of large
tracts of land in the West where he raised
sugar beets. IL was Mr.. Carey's idea to
finance a local company for the manu-
facture Of beet sugar and to take over tn
old refinery at Curtis Bay for that pur-
pose. He found his task difficult. When
cold figures were placed before those in
terested it could be seen readily that
there was no chance to compete with the
trust.
There was no doubt in the minds of
local fnanoiers that the trust received
rebates from railroads. from steamship
companies and from every source that
in the sugar refining business in this city
House broker, was Paul Mason. Con-
cerning rebates Mr.. Mason said to-day:
There was no doubt in our minds that
the trust received rebates, and il for
no other reason than that it was impos-
sible to compete with IL. One of the re-
bates it received and may receive to this
day Is that of three to four cents a hun
dred pounds in 'lighterage. The steam
ship companies would allow the trust that
amount Of rebate for the hghterage OF
sugar in New York harbor.
Now the trust did not own these light
ers, but 1t received the rebate just the
same, and when an independent company
was compelled to pay that amount out OF
it's own pocket IL really meant a difference
on the hundred pounds of six or eight
cents. With such conditions existing
the trust did not need to defraud the
Government out OF q penny in order to
out competitors out of business"

during which each appointee was under
going probation in his work. At the end
OF the probationary period his services
were continued or discontinued as he had
shown himself worthy OF employment
to the appointing officers.
-If. during the probationary period
or at any time after the expiration Of the

Ger had or believed that he had ground
for the removal OF any such employee.
the power VAS vested in him OF making
such removal. The civil service rules
now in force. and as they have been in
force for years, limit the commission
in its right Of inquiry into removals to
cases in which it is alleged with some
show Of support that the removal has
been for political or religious reasons.
The commission has no right. no power
and no desire to investigate a removal
made for any disciplinary or departmental
reason. This is a matter which rests
wholly with the appointing power from
which the commission is barred by tho
rules"
Tho commissions statement shows
that the commission Itself could have
had nothing to do with the appointment
of dishonest men to places as assistant
weighers in the New Yorl: Custom House.
But there was no accusation against the
commission. The paragraphs quoted
from the commissions Official statement
show, however. that It was possible for
the Treasury Department or the Custom
House in New York to ignore men who
had passed high examinations for places
under the civil service at the Custom
House and TO APPOINT men from the eli
gible list who have not passed such high
exsmina tons.
In conclusion the commission says:
The commission is not in the conf
dence of the Treasury Department and
has no information in regard to these
cases other than as stated herein. The
matter of investigation is wholly with
the Department, and we understand that
they are not only investigating with a
view to the clearing up OF the public
service but with view OF the prosecution
of the offenders.
What the commission desires TO EN-
phasize to the press is that it has used
not only all OF the precautions possible
in the selection OF its eligibles but it has
left in the departments unimpeired the
power OF sitting such appointments whan
once made to the bottom and exercising
the power or removal at any time that the
interest OF the public service requires.
1T interposes no objection to removal
for cause. and ts processes instead OF
impairing the right OF an appointing
officer to make inquiry into moral fitness
has supplemented them to the fullest
extent that ordinary human vigilance can
exercise

The Government got tip yesterday on
the method OF checking the weights of
sugar importations through three suits
brought in the United States District
Court by the Hogarth Shipping Com

Federal Sugar Company OF Yonkers.
The three suits are Of similar charao-
ter and were brought to recover full
freightage on three cargoes Of sugar
landed In June. 1908, at the Federal COM
pany's docks. The sugar company
refused to pay the freightage demanded
In accordance with the freight charter,
alleging there was a shortage on delivery.
One OF the cargoes. brought In In the

ing to the report of the checkers.
The Hogarth company now asks for
Judgment FOR S03.4o, with interest from

As the customs weighers are unable
to explain the differences between the

Government will levy duties on the find

at the port OF New York. Mr.. Parr had
a specific case for comparison, the COM
plaint made that there had been under
weights on the steamer Dunbar at New
York amounting to per cent. He was
directed to ascertain what the percentage
OF underweights had been at Philadelphia.
He discovered that IL amounted to only
.4s per cent.
PARIS discoveries bore out the con-
tention OF the carriers and steamship
agents that the sugar trust was receiving
its importstions at New York because
1t enjoyed a more profitable system OF
weighing at this port. He learned that
the trust would direct its sugar steamers
to the Delaware Breakwater. there to
receive further orders. The further orders
sent them to New York to get their car
goes weighed.
But Parr did not know about the evil
dence that the Philadelphia steamship
agents and carriers had referred to At
torney General Bonaparte. He was not
aware that they had submitted evidences
OF fraud and promised other proofs IL the
proofs were requested. The carriers
