SUGAR TRUST PAYS
BACK THOUSANDS
Admits That It Short-Changed
Government BY Under
Weights on Imports.
STATEMENT MADE

bPEClAL TO THE NEWS.
New 1orK, Feb. 9.-The National
Sugar Refining company, the $2OOOO,-
600 corporation in which the sugar
trust holds stock, has paid into the
United States treasury s604, 4,504.5T
which the government has proved to
the satisfaction of the National they
owed in duties on underweight sugar
imported by that company between
1898 and 1907.
The official announcement of the
refund as stated by Henry L. Stimson
and w. T. Denison, the governments
special counsel in the customs cases
involving the underweighing of sugar
is as follows:
In July last Messrs. Stimson and
Denison, as special counsel for the
government, commenced an investiga-
tion as TO the weights on whfGh du-
ties were paid on sugar landed on
the docks of the sugar reineries OF
the National Sugar Refining company
Of New Jersey at the port of New
York.
THE company voluntarily gave
them access to it's books and thor
ough investigation was made of these
books and of the books of the con-
stituent companies and Of the com
panies purchasing agents, and of the
custom house records. AS a result
it was ascertained that there had
been a shortage in the payment of
duties on importations of sugar made
by representatives of that company
and its predecessor companies between
1898, when the refineries began busi-
ness and the end of 1907, amounting to
$604.304.57.
This shortage was reported to the
Office of the company and as soon
as they had verified the government S
figures they voluntarily offered to pay
this sum without suit into the treas
ury of the United States and TO make
good the offer they deposited the full
sum in cash.
This payment has been accepted by
the secretary of the treasury with the
concurrence of the attorney general
and ON the recommendation of the So
licitor of the treasury and the special
counsel for the government.
This settlement is no wise effects
the criminal prosecution of any in
dividuals who NAV be shown to have
been responsible for any criminal
frauds
James R. Post, president of the Ma
tional Sugar Refining company, re-
fused today to discuss the situation in
which his company found itself, nor
would he say anything in explanation
of the statement made by him last
December that the stealing from the
government had been done, if done al
all, without the knowledge or consent
of any of the officials of the National
company.

HazePs mamma went to visit one of
her friends and took the little girl
along with her. There were neither
children nor toys at that house, and
the lady, seeing Hazel was wee bit
restless, said: do you like flowers,
Eyes, madam; I just love them.'
"Then come with me-"
The lady, Mrs. Bell, took her to the
door leading on to the garden, and
opened it for her.
"Oh, oh, my!" said Hazel, as she
gazed in admiration upon two beds of
different colored thrysanthemums in
full bloom.
"What do you think of that?" asked
Mrs. Bell.
"They are so pretty; will you please
to let me stay here and look at them?

are gone"
Certainly, you may stay here, and
when your mamma is ready to go
shall give you each bouquet of them" "
Mrs. Bell left her, and Hazel went
from one bed to the other, now and
then bending over to catch their per-
fume, without breaking any of them
off She did not care to go back to the
parlor. 1t was ever so much nicer out

beds, began to shake as Hazel had
seen her brother Roy shake when he
had had chill.
'I wonder If that flower could have
a chill" she said cut loud.
"a chrysanthemum with chill,
what an idea! He, he. he!" came from
the center of the bed.
'Who is it that is laughing at me?"
she asked.
''Use your eyes and you will see."
Now Hazel was frightened at that
saucy answer, and started to rise up
and go into the house, but the same
voice came again, saying, "Stop, stopi

GAVE TO A POOR OLD LADY

Dear Aunt Laurie
One sunny afternoon my aunt and
uncle came to visit us. We had fine
time that afternoon. But when they
went she left $100 for me.
She asked me what l was going to
do with it, At first I said, just for a
joke, that would spend it all in candy.
| vote a letter to them telling them
that I had made UP my mind to spend
it for something worth while having.
After a long hard thinking l said
to mamma that would put it into the
bank and save it.
The very next morning papa took 1t
to the bank.
About a week some very poor people
came in our neighborhood. / tele-
phoned to papa and told him that
there was a very poor family that just
moved in.
They had hardly enough to eat. He
knew at once that wanted the 800.
But when he came home sure enough
he had 1t.
I ran out as fast as / could to meet
him. 1 took the money from him and
gave it to the old woman who was
crying for food.
Don't you think did grand deed?

TASTES DIFFER

1t is a most mysterious thing
The way that people vary;
Some like to hear Caruso sing
And others a canary;
While others still do not deny 1t,
That what they like the best is quiet.
1 have an aunt that cannot doubt
That ice cream beats all dishes;
Her husband swears that sourkraut
Is even more delicious;
And II her son sees turtle soup,
He eats 1t all in one fell swoop.
It takes all kinds of folks to make
This hospitable planet;
'Twould be as stale as Great Salt Lake
If only one sort ran It;
You might explore from Spain to Siam
And never find one such as I am.

If my uncle or aunt left me hun

WOULD GIVE TO THE POOR

Dear Aunt Laurie:
If were left one hundred dollars by
an uncle or aunt, 1 think it would
take quite while before I could de-
eide what to do with it. There are so
many things that could do with it
and also so many things would want
to buy. But I think that would end
up by either giving some to the poor
and keeping the rest, or else, 1 might
make a present of some of 1t to my
parents, and ask my father to put the
rest in a bank. or invest it with some
of his money in some firm.

very little about the business. l would
get the most experienced men OF that

After a while my business would be
getting very big and would then nave
a hard time to find men who had ex-
perience and would have to go TO
many places to find the right men.
In this time would be getting older
and would get married and have chill

SAVES HIS NIcKELs AND DIMES

Dear Aunt Laurie:
If were left $100 by an uncle or aunt
I would put it in bank, where it
would become larger. When 1 grew
old I would not have to live off of other
people or run big bills.
1 have never had $100 left to me. I
save all the money I get and some day
1 will have $1OO, "may be-"

but that is the way they get rich. by
saving their nickels and dimes. Nickels
and dimes make dollars.
Some children get everything they
ask for, but that is wrong to let them
have everything like that. II these
children would save this money and
put it In the bank to draw interest they
would have little money to depend

parents about it they would slam the

WOULD INVEST IN LAND

Dear Aunt Laurie:
If had one hundred dollars 1 would
invest it in land and that would bring
interest and then 1 would plant trees
and sell the fruit, or nuts if they were
nut trees Then the money that came
from the fruit or nuts would pay for
the land.
Each year 1 could make quite lit
tie money, enough to irrigate, spray
and fertilize the ground so that the
ground would be healthy for the trees.
Then if there was enough money
could invest another one hundred dol
lars in land and set out more trees.
If I did not want these to be the
same kind as the others, 1 could have
these lemon or orange trees or what
ever I wanted.
If I was successful I could invest
another one hundred dollars on fruit
or nuts as fast as I paid for the
other investments. 1t would not take
very long to make fortune.
And / could say that l made my
fortune honestly 1 remain as ever,

below the flower, was a tiny creature,
with dark eyes, that were peering at
her. She was the cutest little creature
Hazel ever had seen. She had on some
kind of a gauzy pink dress that seemed
as if it might float the wearer away;
that is, as much as she could see of 1t
from where she was sitting.
"Who are your" asked the little girl.
'I am a fairy"
"But what is your name? know
fairies have names"
"My name is Num-"
"That is very queer name, think;
I am glad it is not mine"
"Are you? OF a truth, my name is
chrysanthemum, but it is so long, and
I would not like to be called Chris, so
my friends call me Mum for short,
and I like it. It sounds so friendly.

What kind of an airship is that?

Why, the people here are just getting
used to them, but 1 have never been
in one"
I'VE fairies do not follow the fash
ions. Noah had two of our kind in
the ark with him."
"Noah!" exclaimed Hazel.
Eyes, at the time of the flood. I
came here on the back. of big bird,
pairing to fly, but be did not see me;
so 1 jumped onto his back; you know L

reached land I slipped off, and do not
believe he ever knew he had me for a
passenger; so 1 kept on going till

miles without being tired. ] have been

I saw these two lovely beds of our
Japanese flower I almost believed that
I was home again in Japan. But I
hear footsteps; someone is coming; I
must be off Good byI Good by!'
Fairy Mum disappeared as Mrs. Bell
and HazeTs mamma came out upon
the porch. Mrs. Bell was saying, "Oh,
yes, in the conservatory I have half a
dozen pots of my choicest plants that
