Mr. Parr states that on the eve of
the sugar trial he was sent on a trip
to the west, thus preventing him from
carrying on the investigation and this
was done to hinder the investigation.
On the contrary, 1t was to help this
work that he was ordered to make this
trip. 1t was at the direct request of
District Attorney Stimson.
"Mr. Parr has something to say In
regard to the releasing of the vessel
Strathyre in November, 1907, after he
had seized it. There is no information
In any of the reports of the department
tending to show any violation of the
customs law by said vessel or master
or owner.
"Mr. Parr makes the statement that
in the summer OF 1908. Mr.. Bates, the
regular sugar examiner and expert of
the department, was allowed to take
part in the investigation in opposition
to his (Parr's) wishes. Whether this is
true I do not know, as l was in Eu-
rope at the time and had no connec-
tion with the alleged incident
This disposes of the specific charges
IF Mr.. Parr.
LAS to any general implication that
the office Of the assistant secretary in
charge Of customs was somehow In
league with or under the influence of
the sugar trust, can only assert most
positively that In the four years and
a half of my tenure OF this office, /
saw no indication that the said trust
attempted to exercise such influence"

VIZ ITH the opening of the Los An
w geles District Federation Of
" Women's clubs in Pasadena this
afternoon comes the announcement
that Mrs Russell J. Waters has re-
fused to serve another year as presi-
dent. There are many conjectures
concerning the identity of her sue
cessor, but every one in touch with the
situation processes entire ignorance,
beyond the positive statement that the
office must be filled by a Los Angeles
woman.
Los Angeles district possesses many
capable women, both in the rank and
file, who would grace the office, but
many are excluded from nomination
because they reside outside Los An
| geles, which by reason Of location Is
| the executive center. 1t is also a ne
cessity that the majority Of the board
live either in Los Angeles or so near
| that they may easily and quickly re-
| spoud to the presidents call.
But the question Immediately arises,
"Why will Mrs. Waters not serve
again?"
A natural leader, an experienced
executive keenly intellectual and OF
marked social attainment Mrs. Waters
is pre-eminently fitted to fill the office
of state executive and her name will
undoubtedly be placed at the head OF
the Southern California slate at the
next state federation. Mrs Waters has
a large following, not only in this sec
ton, but also among the northern wo-
men who have met and admired her.
and already in their secret thoughts
Southern California clubwomen are
claiming the state leadership during
the next term, and they see the gaNel
in Mrs. Waters capable hands.

DENIES SUGAR TRUST HAD
INFLUENCE OVER OFFICIALS S

WASHINGTON, Nov. l5-James B.
Reynolds, a member of the new tariff
board, declared today there never had
been any attempt on the part of the
so-called "suger trust" to influence
any action of his while assistant sec.
retary of the treasury, and that nc
instructions had been issued by him
having any object in view beyond good
administration and fair dealing to all
concerned.
Mr. Reynolds statements were made
as the result of published reports that
the treasury department, under Presi-
dent Roosevelt, displayed apparent in
difference in procuring evidence in
connection with alleged sugar trust
frauds, and that Richard Parr, a
special agent of the department, in his
Investigations, had encountered OBJ
stacles from the outset.
He promised to go over the state
ments fully and "make the reply they
deserve"

INQUIRY EXPECTED TO EQUAL

Collector Loeb Of New York States
Investigation and Prosecution Of
Trust Due to Influence
of Roosevelt
GBy Associated Press.l

WASHINGTON, Nov. 15.-While the
legal machinery of the government
moves slowly, the air of uncertainty
surrounding the so-called sugar traud
cases" is Interpreted to foreshadow an
inquiry which may rank with the IN
surance upheaval of 1905.
Boston and Philadelphia were
brought within the scope of the lnVes-
tigation today with the report the gov
ernment would attempt to obtain back
duies on sugar in those cities, while
investigation went on in New YORK
with repeated rumors of reaching
"men higher up"
Henry L. Stimson. special attorney
for the government in the cases, de-
clined to discuss this phase of the
matter. William Loeb, jr, collector OF
the port. also was inclined to be reti-
cent. but he repeated it was through
the influence of Theodore Roosevelt
the investigation and prosecution of
the sugar frauds was undertaken. Ac-
cording to Mr.. Loeb, he' had talked
over the matter with Mr.. Roosevelt
before he took charge of the custom
house here.
Parr Makes Denias
The denial from Washington today
by James p. Reynolds, former assist
ant secretary OF the treasury, that he
had opposed the investigation was fol-
lowed by a statement by Richard Parr,
through whose alleged statements Mr.
REYNOLDS actions and motives We're
criticised, who said he had been mis-
quoted. Parr, who is still engaged at
the custom house, issued the follow
ing statement:
"In regard to the statement that j.
B. Reynolds, former assistant secre-
tary of the treasury department, or
dered Special Agent Parr first to Cuba
and then to San Francisco for the
purpose of preventing Parr from pur-
suing the sugar investigation further
MIR. Parr stated there was a misap-
prehension; that he did not charge Mr.
REYNOLDS with ordering him to Cuba
or to San Francisco for any improper
purpose, and that the reporters had
misunderstood his statement. The trip
to San Francisco was ordered by Mr.
Reynolds, but it was so ordered at the
request of United States District At
torney Stimson. who feared that Har-
ris' health was being undermined by
the continued strain of the investi-
cation.
Rest of Interview Approved
"As to the remainder of the inter-
view, Mr.. Parr states that 1t is alb
solutely true and correct, as printed
and that he will produce the necessary
evidence in support thereof at the
proper moment"
Declines in stocks of the American
Sugar Refining company, the great
corporation under fire, were recorded
today as the investigation proceeded.
This company not long ago paid back
to the government more than $2,0O0,000
as reeompense for short weight, While
later it settled out of court civil suit
brought by the Pennsylvania Sugar
Refining company. small rival winch
1t put out of business.
The settlement is now undergoing
final adjustment, and it was on the
strength of evidence produced at the
Los Angeles herald., 1909-11-16

trial that the government brought an
antitrust suit, only to be checked by
4 ruling on the statute of limitations
There is an added feature in the sit
uation In that the city of New York
now has pending against the company
suit charging the corporation with
surreptitiously taking great quantities
of water from the city mains.

TORONTO, Ont, Nov. 15.-Just as
the convention of the American Fed
GRAFTON of Labor was about to adjourn
for the day telegram was received
from Washington announcing that the
stay asked by the attorney for Presi-
dent Gompers, Vice President Mitchell
and Secretary Morrison in the pro-
ceedings against them for contempt Of
court had been denied by the court Of
appeals of the District of Columbia.
President Gompers plainly was sur
prised and as he read the message to
the convention delegates sat as though
dazed.
THAT means that the resources Of
the lawyers have been exhausted,
doesn't it?" asked one of the delegates.
1.-The chair is not in a position TO
state" replied President Gompers.
Then as he read the message stating
"the mandate goes down Saturday
morning the faces of himself and his
fellow officers betrayed the anxiety
under which they were laboring
A telegram signed by the three de-
PENDANTS was sent to their counsel IN
Washington asking when 1t would be
necessary for them To put in an ap-
pearance to avoid forfeiting their
bonds. which amount to $4,000, and
stating that they would like to remain
in Toronto until the close of the con-
Vention Saturday night.
Not Certain of Appeal
'I am not certain whether under the
law of the district of Columbia we can
appeal" said Mr.. Gompers, after ad-
iournment "but if we do go the con-
vention must STAY here and carry on
its proceedings in dignifled and Or
derly manner
1--WE will charter train and all go

"And even the seceders will join
YOU" added ]. ]. Reid, president of
the seeding faction of the electrical
workers.
The suggestion that the convention
be adjourned to Washington in the
event of the departure of Gompers,
Mitchell and Morrison was taken serl-
ously by many delegates, and it was
| said a resolution to that effect might
be prepared. Pending a reply from
Washington, the executive council held
a long session tonight. at which plans
for meeting the situation which con-
fronts the three labor leaders were
| discussed,
MANY delegates have expressed dis
approval of the plan suggested by the

that two weeks general strike be or
dered as a protest against the con-
tempt imprisonments.
The question of including organiza-
