ARBUCKLES ALSO
CHEATED CUSTOMS
Sugar Trust Not Alone in Fraudulent
Acts.
THEY HAVE PAID BACK S695,50s
This With the Amount Received From
American Sugar Refining Company
Brings Restitution up to
$2,s3o,573.

New York, Dec. l6.--Arbuckle Broth
ers, generally credited with being the
largest independent rival Of the Amert
can Sugar Refining company, have &C
knowledged that from 1898 to 1907
they, too, failed to pay the government
all the money due as customs charges
on imported sugar. In settlement Of
all civil claims against them, the
Arbuckles have offered and the treas
ury department, with the concurrence
Of the attorney general, has accepted
payment of $6S5,573. But criminal
prosecution Of those responsible will
In no wise be hampered by this 40
ceptance.
The government has now received
the following voluntary resolutions
and fines from importers Of raw sugar:
The American Sugar Refining com
pany (voluntary), 100000; the
American Sugar Refining company
Zine imposed by the COURT, S1S5,OOO;
Arbuckle Brothers voluntary, $685.
SIS. Total, $2,S30,57S.
The announcement Of new irregu'
larities In the sugar industry ramifyins
into quarters never suspected by the
public, was made in recess Of the
criminal trial Of six employees Of the
American Sugar Refining company.
Mr.. Simson and Mr.. Dennison, spe
cial counsel for the government, then
gave out a statement in part as fol
laws;
Last June we commenced an in
vestigatIon as TO the weights on which
duties were paid on sugar landed on

voluntarily gave US access TO thelI
books and a thorough Investigation
was made Of those books and Of thu

a shortage was reported to the mem
bers OF the firm, and as soon as they
had verified the governments figures

sum, without suit, into the treasury o.

theIess, done much to swing public
opinion against Cook. The comments
appearing on his statement show that
It is one of the most important factors
in alternating from Cook those who
formerly upheld him.
While the University of Copenhagen
committee is in session on DR.. Cooks
records this latest attack, coming on
top of the accusations made by Capt.
Loose and George H. Dunkle Of New
York, has turned much of the popular
sympathy against Cook. Nansen's 40
tion has sent many over the Peary

Nansen's statement is strsightfor

simple declaration Of his doubts Of
Cook and faith in Peary.
