ough President Haffen's Removal.

The Civic League of The Bronx. which filed
charges two years ago against Borough President
Haffen with Governor Hughes has a letter TO
the Governor urging upon him the removal of Mr..

of President Hafen that he has held office in The
Bronx for sixteen years. and that perhaps not in
the United States has man been retained for so
Ions consecutive period as the chief executive of
a local government the letter TO the Governor
says
We respectfully submit that this IS a strong
corroboratiVe argument in favor of his removal
Rotation in office is fundamental principle in a
republic distinguished from life tenure under a
monarchy. II it be true that he has obtained his
election by the expenditure of thousands of dollars
upon his political opponents. he has struck a blow

The SECRET OF One
OF SUGAR TRUSTS
STRONGEST PULLS
It's Friend Aldrieh Repre-
sents us in the Senate,
and Is the Trusts Bust
ness Partner.

WASHINGTON. u. c., Dec. io.-
The secret 81 the strong political
Influence which has saved The sugar
trust during lis long career Of crime
is explained by the trusts assoeia-
ton with Nelson W. Aldrich. They
are business partners.
As long ago as In 1898 the con
nection between Mr.. Aldrich and the
"suwar crowd was made a matter
OF official record In that year
Aldrlch organized. and the sugar
trust crowd financed. the United
Traction 4 Electric company. cor.
poratl0n to take over the franchises
and properties OF the Providence. r.
l.. street car company.
Aldrieh Is Traction Head.
The president Of the Y. 4, 8 ~
was Nelson w. Aldrich It's vice
president was John T.. Searles tot
the sugar irusN The bank which
furnished the money and handled
the securities WAS the Central Trust
company OF New York. which Is the
sugar trust bank. The treasurer Of
the L. r. q =. was p, + Olcolt of
the Central Trust company. Others
associated with Aldrich IN the pro
motion Of the concern were MaFsden
J. Jerry of New York lnow a large
holder In electric power corpora
tonsi and William J. Rocker Of
Providence and New York,
The u. r. 4 r. issued bonds 20
- a. fsu ssuU ns.f
to an equal amount The sugar
trust bank took the bonds and
loaned the $4,000 600 Aidrich and
bis friends retained the s. .0eo 900
stock. aud this Is where the Rhode
Island senator laid the foundation
OF his fortune
There were numerous reorganiza-
tons and consultations OF the cor
poration which started as tho Y. r..
a T.. and it was several years be
fore Aldrich had the Rhode Island
legislature grant 20 the corporation
franchises for gas. electric power
and traction monop0lies for the en-.
tire state OF Rhode Island for 500
years hut in time all this was
banded over 10 What had become
the Rhode Island company. and the
whole was sold 70 the New York.
New Haven & Hartford railroad a
few years ago for s3s. 10000.
Each Helped the Other.
Thus did the sugar trust make
money for Aldrich. while AldFich
made money also for the sugar
trust
But this WAS not the only con.
nection between the two Aldrschs
first big service To the sugar trust
---one which netted that corporation
ss.010.a00 a year over and above
steailngs was Aldrich's personal
contribution TO the Wilson tariff
faw.
An excellent explanation 0f this
affair was given b. Col. Alex. K.
Mcclure. editor OF the Philadelphia
Times. In a speech delivered In Bos.
