LET TER Of DENIAL
FROM W|CkERSHAN

Washington, D. C., March 2e.-The
charge preferred In the House last
Friday BY Representative Martin. DEM
ocrat, Of Colorado, that the former
attorney for the sugar trust is now
the head of the Department of jus
tice of the present administration"
brought forth letter of denial from
Attorney General Wickersham, adj
dressed to Representative Bennett OF
New YORK, and read into the record
I'm order that such statement may
not gain any currency" says Mr.. WICK
ersham in his letter. 81 should like "a
state through you that never was
attorney for the sugar trust-by which
understand is meant the American
Sugar Refining Company. and its al
lied or subsidiary corporations--nor
had any professional or business re-
lations TO II.
The only possible foundation for
such a statement lies in the fact tina,
one OF ny partners some time ago
was retained as one of the counsel
for the American Sugar Refining Com
pany in single law suit brought
against It, and pursuant TO such re-
tainer, he assisted in the defense Of
the company in that action and an APP
peal taken from judgment in It's favor
but In that law suit | was neither con-
suited nor did | render any service.
VIII Continue Fight.
Mr.. Martin announced that ne in
tended TO carry his charges against
the Department OF Justice to definite
conclusion Ifo now has resolution
pending for an investigation of the
ACQUISITION of friar lands in the Phil
ippines by the Havemeyer interests.
Mr.. Martin said in an interview:
THE Attorney General, you Will OBJ
serve, carefully avoided making denial
Of the principal feature of my charges
to wit: That his decision gave the
sugar trust $1,000 acres of friar lands
for price less than the government
paid for 1t. and that there was no
warrant of law for such a decision
MIR Wickersham says that his part
ner. whom | understand was Henry w
Taft. brother of the President, and
not he, was the attorney for the su-
gar trust. This form of disayowal
Will not carry much weight.
II shall continue to show BY my et-
forts what | believe is but the begin
ming Of gigantic grab of tho fria1
lands of the Philippines by the sugar
trust, all made possible by an unwar-
ranted decision OF the Attorney-Gen-
eral. ] shall decide upon further
