TAFT OPPOSES SUGAR PROBE
President Writes Special Message In
Which He Declares Congressional
investigation Not Advisable.

Washington Taft sent a
special message to the house OF repre-
sentatives on Monday to telI why he
considers a congressional investigation
of the sugar frauds in the customs
service inexpedient.
1t is, he said, because "a congress
sional investigation at the time would
embarrass the executive department
In the continuance and completion OF
the investigation of the appraisers and
other officers of the customs service. "
The presidents reply was to reso'
luton passed in the house April IA
calling on him to state his reasons for
not wishing congressional investiga-
ton as he had intimated in his mes
age at the opening of the session.
The president did not lose an op-
portunaty to tell the house when a
congressional investigation was neces.
sary.
THE necessity for congressional in
vestigation," he wrote, ARISES when
an executive investigation is either
not in good faith or lacking in yigor
or when additional legislation is need
ed to prevent recurrence of the
frauds.
The primary duty, with respect tC
frauds in the executive service falls
on the executive to direct proper exec
utivo lnpiclatiop opd unop tho 1iccoy
cry of fraud and crime to direct jude
ial investigation to recover what Ia
due the government and to bring I'd
justice the guilty persons.
The report of the secretary of the
treasury and the attorney general
shows beyond question the utmost
vigor and effectiveness In the investi
cation and prosecution up to this time
and the achieving of exceptional re
suits in the recovery of moneys oil
which the government had been de
frauded, the indictment of participants
in the frauds and in the reformation
Of the customs service with view tc
lie prevention of such frauds in the
future"
The danger OF granting immunity to
any offenders, through congressional
investigation, the president pointed
out, was still grave He referred to the
case of Heike, secretary of the Ameri
can Sugar Refining company who was
summoned before the grand jury dur
ing the sugar company's alleged con
nection with combination violating
the Sherman antitrust act, and plead
ed immunity.
While the supreme court refused tt
pass on the question, claiming 1t die
not properly come before it, the presi
dent indicates that the point Is lief
to be raised in the event of convic
ton of Heike. If congress was to in
vestigate the weighers' and appraisers
offices it would have to go about get
ting such expert evidence as Is nov
being gathered, the president said, anc
will be sent to congress as soon as
the present investigation is al al
