crS While the collector did not make
public the reason for the dismissal of
the men. it is rumored that they were
connected with the proceedings in the
case against the American Sugar Re

tion that probably will result in
charges being brought against about
twenty of the heaviest importers. The
collector is getting evidence to prove
that the government has been annually
cheated out of thousands of dollars by
the dishonesty of public officials. Mr..
Loeb announced when appointed to the

he is keeping his word.
