Special to the EVENING NEWS
New Brunswick, Nov. 17:-While
the new Board Of Freeholders has
not got together to discuss plans for
the organization Of that body after
the first OF the year, some idea OF
what may be expected can be gained
from the talk among the party lead
ers. The newly elected members are
not likely to do anything until the
recount asked for by Garret Brod-
head is settled.
As the present Board of Freehold
ers reelected officers recently, 1t is
expected that the men SO elected Will
claim that their term does not ex-
pire until year hence.
1t is understood that John A. Coan,
of South Amboy, will be chosen to
succeed Alan H. Strong as county
solicitor II is stated that his name
Will be presented by Alfred Kerr
County Collector Grovesg term
does not expire for another year
Elmer ]. McMurtry, of New Bruins
wick, is slated to succeed Irving
Demarest, as clerk Of the board. q
1t has been practically decided to
have an expert go over the accounts
as soon as the new board takes hold
and Il Is probable that new system
of bookkeeping will be installed, as
the newly elected members are dis
satisfied with the present method Of
keeping the books. s

Men Guilty Of
The Frauds.
GET ALL MONEY

Washington, Nov. 17.--As a result OF
the cabinet meeting called by Presi-
dent Taft to consider the gigantic sug-
ar trust frauds every available force
of the government is now at work
seeking to bring to justice the guilty
sugar trust and custom house officials
and to compel the payment into the
United States treasury Of every dollar
Of the many millions Of which 1t has
been defrauded.
Criminal prosecution Of every re-
sponsible official Of the trust and Of
every government employee who had
o share In underweighing sugar and
falsifying samples is now the pro-
gram.
Congress to Order Inquiry.
Congress win undoubtedly make In
quiry into the charges concerning the
manner In which the sugar trust has
been bleeding the government. Five
Republicans members Of the house of
Representatives and three Republican
United States senators have declared
that a congressional investigation is
Inevitable
Such an Investigation necessarily will
include probing into the rottenness In
the New York custom house. Accusa-
tions involving government employees
at the port Of New York cannot be
ignored.
The records of the department Of
justice show that Charles ]. Bona
parte, President Roosevelt's attorney
general, had startling evidence of the
sugar trusts frauds offered to him by
the United States district attorney In
Philadelphia In February, 1908, but
Mr.. Bonaparte took no action.
The proffer Of evidence was made
after Special Agent Richard Parr had
caught government officials sQuarely
IN the act of stealing for the sugar
trust when 1t was supposed that the
administration at Washington was de-
sirous of getting all the proof possible
against the American Sugar Refining
company
Bonaparte Had Evidence
After Parr had obtained evidence of
the weighing frauds the Philadelphia
carriers and steamship agents became
convinced that they had indisputable
evidence that would back up the gov
ernment in its efforts to nail the trust.
The Philadelphians had list of
steamers entered at the New York
custom house that carried cargoes on
which the sugar trust had stolen from
4 to 8 per cent of duty out Of every
thousand pounds Of raw sugar. They
had a list Of steamers entered at the

HOUSE REPORT

Inspectors Of the State Board of
Tenement House Supervisors have
practically completed their canvass
OF this city and as result, have
their inventory almost complete, al
though there is yet some work to be
done In certain parts OF the city.
Halsey r. Brant, inspector No. IL,
has had the work in charge here
abouts and he reports conditions fair
He has found them much improved
over the shape In which they were
found at the time Of the inspection
held about two years ago. Numer-
ous alterations were demanded fol-
lowing that inspection and it tend
ed to improve conditions wonderful

pecially in and about North Amboy
are conditions such that alterations
will be demanded In several cases. he
says.
The purpose OF the inventory now
being secured is to improve condi-
tons in accordance with the tene-
ment house act. with respect to a
stated amount OF room, light and
ventilation for each apartment. The
work was started here in the early
part Of October and will be continued
for few weeks.
An excellent feature which the In
spectors have observed is that lo-
cal architects have conformed with
the act to such a. degree that less
room is found for improvement up
on structures put up during the past
few years.
