The Michigan senator charged that

establish Il reputation for fair dealing
by pretending to be in alliance with
the beet sugar Industries, which, he
said, WAS not the case. He asserted that
a reduction Of duties would destroy the
beet industry and thus render it neces-
sary to send $100,000,000 d year out of
the country for sugar.
Br BriStoW, the new senator from
Kansas, was the only advocate of a

the so-called Progressive" senators.
Mr.. !}ristow declared that instead of
wanting to destroy the sugar industry.

DIRECTOR NORTH RESIGNS.

Washington, May 26.-S. n. .. Mort n
| director of the census. has rendered his
resignation to President Taft and it
| was accepted.
| E. Dana Durand, deputy commission
succeed him. North's resignation is a
direct result of his recent controversy
with Secretary of Commerce and La
Dor Nagcl.
The following statement in connec-
ton with the case was given out at the
White House:
"DirectGr North rendered his resig-
nation as director of the census 1t was
accepted and the name of f. Dana Dur
aud. now deputy commissioner of cor
porations, has been sent into the Sen
ate to succeed him. Mr. NOrth's resig-
nation ~ director of the census was
based on the ground that on account
of conditions existing and likely to
continue. his administration of the
census office would not probably be
SucceSsful'
Mr.. Durand is from Florida. He has
been in :he bureau of corporations for
some time and it is believed will work
in harmony with Secretary Nagel.
1t had been supposed up to within
the last few days that the controversy
between Sec. Nagel and Director North
had been amicably adjusted. The fric-
ton between the two continued how
ever, and at last Sec. Nagel put the
matter Suuareiy up to Pres. Taft, say
ing that either he or Mr. North would
have to leave the service, as existing
conditions between them were impOs-
sihle Director North held to the belief
that the census bureau was an indie
pendent institution and that he was
responsible only to the President. A
congressional enactment put the cen
sus bureau under the department of
commerce and labor. however, and Sec
rotary Nagel felt that in spite of the
great powers conferred by Congress
upon the director. that official should
be subordinate to the cabinet officer
in charge of the department.
In connection with the retirement of
Mr.. North it was announced that he
has been sustained as to the necessity
for the government removing itself from
control OF the so-called calculating
machine trust" After going into the
question of, the machines, Sec.
Nagcl has directed that bids

by Mr.. North. The plans of these ma
chimes were submitted to Director
