absolutely false and made of whole cloth.p
 He then detailed the classes of in formation the commission had col lected, and said the United States Steel Corporation alone had spent from $20OOO to sS0,0oO to gather in- formation which had been placed at the commissions disposal.
 MT. Bennett declared the commis- sion had broken up the white slave traffic and had taken steps to exclude alien criminals which he said, alone was worth all the money the comms- sion had cost.
 MT. Patten Is in the city of Wash ington,' said MT Macon when MT. Bennett had concluded. "and suppose he will remain here, and if he has lied about the New York man, as the gentleman from New York says. want to say he is not of my making and his blood does not cross mine if the city of Washington is able to hold both of them"
 "l am not going to accept every thing the gentleman from New York has said to this house as gospel" con tinued Mir. Macon. "It is question of veracitySand one of these gentle. men has as much credence on the part of this house as the other unti; one of them shows himself to be liar, and the other shows himself to be saint, and the gentleman from New York Is not a saint"
 Mir. Macon admitted that Mr. Pat. ten was his informer, following statement by MT. Bennett that he be- lieved he had given the member from Arkansas the information.
 Macon explained that Patten was a nephew of a deceased member of fihe commission and was in a position to know.
 T am not here tv take back any part of my statement that the trip was a junket," exclaimed Mir. Macon.
 Thus the incident was closed with cut Mir Macon having receded from his position, but not until after MT. Mann of Illinois had secured unani- nous consent to MT. Macon's request for permission to revise his remarks in the record
 MT. Macon explained that he merely wanted to correct the bad English" but Mir. Mann re-orted that it was Unnecessary to obtain consent for that. and that both parties to the controversy would have to go on rec ord for Uhat they had said.
 It-was thought fer time that Mir. Mann's statement indicated that MT. Macon might have been called to ac. count by the rules committee for us- ing unparliamentary language. but it developed there was no such intent. It was argued that Mir. Macon had not called MT. Bennett "a liar" as some members construed his remarks.
 Mir. Bnenett made general denial of the charges voiced by Mir. Macon during his absence yesterday and as- serted the member from Arkansas had made them without taking the trouble to asceriain if they were true. He said the commission had spent only s1S,0OO of the peoples mon- ey on fheir trip abroad, but had gone down into their pockets for more than that amount
 MT. Bennett said the immigration commission had accomplished much sood since it was created. having broken I'D the white slave traffic. taken steps to exclude alien criminals and greatly improved steerage condl- tions on immigrant ships. He insist ed the commission did not deserve the abuse which had been ieaped upon il.

u. s. TO GET 100000
MORE FROM SUGAR TRUST
Drawbacks Recovered by Gov
ernment to Total Nearly
100000

NEW YORK, Dec 24-The Ameri-
can Sugar Refining company will short
ly hand to the United states govern
ment a check for 100000 in settlement
OF a further series Of customs frauds,
according to a morning newspaper here.
This will bring the total amount recov-
cred from this company up to nearly
$1,000 600. This latest settlement Is in
connection with the so-caled draw
back frauds which have been under
investigation since the original customs
frauds were detected two years ago, as
result of the disclosures made by
Richard Parr. The draWback cases
grew out of abuses of the tariff pro
vision whereby the government pays
back to importers all but 1 per cent Of
the duty paid on imported raw sugar
when the sugar is imported after being
manufactured.
1t was alleged that the government
has been paying back to the company
more than it should during the last
nine years. 1t is expected that formal
offer from the sugar company Of the
500, 600 agreed upon by Collector Loeb
will be forwarded to the treasury de-
partment following a meeting Of the
sugar company directors next Tuesday

NAVAL OFFICER DISPLAYS
SKILL IN THREE ELEMENTS
Lieut.. Ellison, Submarine Expert,
Will Manage AeropIaneS

WASHINGTON, Dec. 24.-Unless he
first breaks his neck, Lieut. Theo G..
Ellison soon will be in a position right
fully to claim to be the first naval Off
Ger who is equally at home in each Of
the three elements-earth, air and
water.
Acting Secretary winthrop has as
signed the young officer to a course of
training in the management of aero
planes, under the instruction of Glenn
II. Curtiss at the training park at Los
Angeles, Cal. The lieutenant has al
ready mastered the submarine and can
navigate the underwater craft like a
fish. OF course he is an expert pedes-
trian as a result Of the physical train
ing orders, and now he Is to become an
air pilot. He sought the assignment
TO the training course, though it is
probable that he thereby vitiated his
life insurance. 1t is expected that his
familiarity with the use of gasoline
engines in submarines will prove to be
of value in handling the motors of the
aeroplane.
