ministration
Says the Sun
That large areas Of the friar lands
have been sold at very low price TO
representatives of the sugar trust
that the brother OF President Taft Is
a member OF the law firm which has
several times represented the trust:
that Attorney General Wickersham
was member OF the same firm until
he entered the cabinet; that the sale
or these lands to the trust was made
possible by special ruling by the at
tofney general which the trust was so
sure of securing that ii had already
taken possession of the land that EN-.
nloyes Of the Philippine government,
Including Carpenter, secretary of the
commission, had leased friar lands to
themselves at an absurdly low rental
