ROOSEVELT BEGAN
SUGAR TRUST PROBE
Former Administration Collected Evil
dence, Placed Loeb in New York
Custom House, Overturned Customs
Office and Gave Publicity to Illegal
Weighing and Rebating.

NEW YORK, Nov. 20.-The inside
story of the incidents leading up to
an investigation of the Sugar Trust
was made public today. 1t appears
that the facts laying bare all of these
frauds were unearthed by the Roose-
welt administration and that this in
formation has been available for sew
eral weeks.
The securing of evidence Of fraud on
the part of the Sugar Trust was aided
by President Rooseyel when he ap-
pointed Secretary Loeb to be Inspec-
tor of Customs at the port of New
York, where he has discovered the
short weight frauds and discharged
from the service several employees of
the department, two more having been
fired no later than Thursday. Follow
ing all of this preliminary work,
President Roosevelt caused to be pub
lished in the Outlook a story entitled
The Seventeen Holes" which por-
trays the sugar scandals to a nicely
and which has eliminated in the pres
ent investigation by the Taft admin
iStration
Attacks AtrOciOus.
A man closely in touch with both
administrations but whose position will
not permit of a personal publicity in
the way of an interview stated to the
press that the attempts to discredit
the Roosevelt administration because
the Sugar Trust was not further pros
ecuted was wholly unjust because ii
was really the former administration
which was solely responsible for the
whole investigation by the administra-
ton of President Taft. He said:
ANY one who has followed the de-
velopment of the case will realize how
unjust and absurd are the present at
tacks.
1.-THE Roosevelt administration I'M
earthed the frauds and started the
prosecutions, and the Taft adminstra-
ton is continuing the prosecutions. APP

as necessary to prevent a repetition
of the frauds.
1.-THE different prosecutions against
the sugar trust may be divided into
three heads and taken in chronological
order are:
First. The prosecution for receiv-

The gift of the flag to the Indians

the Cherokee nation lies.
Many prominent Republican clubs
had asked the president to give the
flag to them as a recognition OF tlhig

Of last year, and he was in a guam
dary what to do about it, when Rep
resentative Creager suggested to him
that the easiest way out of it would

Syhich will be utilized in the building
Of the tabernacle, thus adding histori-
cal interest to the structure.
