ReynoIds Disputes Parr.

James b. Reynolds, formerly as
sistant secretary of the treasury, and
now a member Of the new tariff
board, declared there never had been
any attempt on the part of the So
called sugar trust" TO influence any
action of his. and no instructions had
been issued to him having any object
beyond good administration and fair
dealing to all concerned.
Mr.. Reynolds statements were
made as the result OF publications
that the treasury department, under
the administration of President
Roosevelt. displayed apparent indif-
ference IN procuring evidence of al
legged sugar trust" frauds, and that
Richard parr. special agent of the
department, in his investigations, had
encountered obstacles from the out
set.
Washington, Nov. 16.-Today S
cabinet meeting is expected to de-
vote most OF the time to discussion
of the sugar scandal. Messengers
brought well hlled portfolios OF data
prepared by Wickersham and Mac
veagh at the request of the presi-
dent.
Representative Herbert Parsons
denounces as false reports that Re
publican politicians OF the New York
customs house were removed in con-
nection with the sugar cases. He
says the only foundation for the re-
ports was the reduction TO rank of
three G. A. II. veterans. weighers. on
account of Incompetence. Regarding
the rumor that he dominated the Gus
toms bureau Parsons said he only
secured three out of thirteen places,
which was not even his proportionate
share.

Give Them Place to Playl

Plenty of room for dives and dens
(glitter and glare and SIM,
Plenty OF room for prison pens gath
er the criminals inD,
Plenty of room for jails and courts
(willng enough to payD,
But never place for the lads to race;
no, never a place to play.
Plenty OF room. for shops and stores
(Mammon must have the bestD g..
Plenty of room for the running sores
that rot in the city's breast
Plenty of room for the lures that lead
the hearts of our youth astray.
But never a cent on a playground
spent; no. never a place to play,
Plenty of room for schools and halls,
plenty of room for art;
Plenty of room for teas and balls,
platform, stage and mart.
Proud is the city-she finds a place
for many a fad today,
But she's more than blind if she fails
to find a place for the boys to
play,
Give them a chance for innocent sport
give them a chance for fun
Better a playground plot than court
and a Jail when the harm is done!
Give them a chance-if you stint
them now, tomorrow you'll have
to pay
A larger bill for darker i'll, so give
them place to play!
