Of sugar at this port by false weights.
An UpheavaI Threatened.
New York, Nov. 16.-While the le-
gal machinery of the government
moves slowly, the air of uncertainty
surrounding the so-called sugar fraud
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 inves-
tigation today with the report that
the government would attempt to OBJ
tain back duties on sugar in those
cities while the investigation went on
in New York with repeated rumors
of reaching the men higher up"
Henry l.. Stinson, 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
reticent, but he repeated that it was
through the influence of Theodore
Roosevelt that the investigation and
prosecution of the sugar frauds was
undertaken.
According to Mr.. Loeb, he had talk
ed over the matter with Mr.. Roosevelt
before he took charge of the customs
house here.
