NO FRAUD FOUND
 IN NEW ORLEANS Government Has Lost Nothing in Sugar Weighing
FULL REPORT IS MADE
Assistant Attorney General Denison Says He Has Made Complete Ex- animation of Books-Finds
 Everything Correct

New Orleans, April 16.-That reports of fraud in the weighing of sugar at the port of New Orleans were without grounds in fact and that the government had not lost a penny in this connection. was the gist of the report which Assist ant Attorney General W. T. Denson late today placed in the hands of the United States grand jury in this city.
 Mir. Denison was one of the govern ment's special attorneys ;n the sugar fraud cases in New York, and has been in charge of the investigation instituted here by Attorney General Wickersham and the Secretary of the Treasury. The figures at New Orleans show tha; the government sugar weighing here has been for ten years on the basis of correct ness. and that it any way never ap- I preached the frauds exposed elsewhere. D l said MT Denison.
 | With the aid of Messrs Waters. Du- l bois and Taylor, the custom house experts who aided us in unearthing the facts as to the New York frauds, 1 have made a complete examination here of the sugar l company's books, and the custom house | records covering every cargo imported l since January, 1901
 1 The result is totally different from that 1 disclosed by the similar examina tio,, made by us in New York" declared MT, | Denison.
 Here in New Orleans, in the large majority of cargoes." said the agent, 'rhe governments weights were even higher than the weights of the merchants selling the sugar to the company, the govern. ment's excess being an amount whicf would be accounted for by the difference between the Spanish pound and the, avoir- dupois pound. In the compara tivety few instances where the government weights were less than the selling weights, the diff ferences were only such as migbt occur between any different scales and different weighers. and even in these instances the government weights were still higher than l the private refinery weights"
 l In New York at all the reffneries for | years prior to the discovery of the frauds in 1907 the governments weights, he as- serted were invariably far below the mer- chants and refinery weights.
 After the discovery of tte frauds in | New Yorok the governments weights l there began to run slightly larger than the other weights and reached a level
 identical with the level they have main- tained at New Orleans all the time. said he, "and it is much. to be regretted that intimations have gone abroad that sugar frauds existed her. I hope the refutations of the charges will be fully published in justice to the importers. the government officials. and to the port"

DEMOCRACY AND TAXATION

Republican agtasors are working
overtime in their attempts to preIu-
dice the people against the Demoo-

They are raising great howl about
taxes.
You should ask the voter to exam
inc his tax receipt--whas he Is pay
ing for school district tax: what he is
paying as township tax; (he voted for
improvements): what he is paying as
county tax; as city tax, etc.--calI his
attention to the heavy local improve
ments; tell him that Of all his tax he
is paying, cnly 21-2 mills Is for state
purposes or, $3.50 on the $1,000 vaIua-
ton.
Explain to him that ia mill Of this
state tax is for common schools, IA
for public buildings (reformatory at
Granite, Wiburton school of mines,

more than one Mill is to cover the
deficit caused by the non-coIleetion of

Voters should remember that al.

any statements about what they will

placed in their hands--we saw for
