ANOTHER CHAPTER
IN SUGAR FRAUDS
Alleged Abuse of Drawback" Priv
ileges Principally in New York to
Be investigated.

Washington, ID. c., Dec. 22.-Customs
experts from the treasury and special
agents of the department of justice
are making an investigation which
promises to add another chapter to the
story of sugar frauds.
An alleged abuse of the drawback
privileges, principally at New York, is
under investigation and one officia
says the revelations promise to put
the government in a position to recover
nearly as much as in the underweigl.,
cases when more than $3,000,000 was
paid to the treasury.
When sugar is imported it pays a
duty, unless coming from the Philip
pines, and when it is manufactured
into produce and in that form ex
ported the duty is refunded in the form
of a drawback" except l per cent
which is retained to defray the cost
of tariff administration.
Under this arrangement sugar is i'm
ported raw and exported as syrup and
many other by-products of sugar On
each of these the treasury makes
drawback" refunds. About $1,000, ,000
is paid in that way each year and hall
that amount is drawn back on exports
of sugar and tin. Officials say that
frauds in sugar extending over several
years could easily run into large
amount of money.
Some of the investigations are said
to have shown that the government
has been defrauded in the draw
backs" it has allowed on syrups. Il
is charged that the refunds have beer
paid on high grades of sugar com
manding high duties, while in fact &
very low grade of sugar was used
Under the system of examination the
customs authorities are confronted
with the probability that they may
have been paying drawbacks" on ship
ments which were not sugar at all
but might in fact have been sawdust
as far as the usual inspection develop
ed.
United States District Attorney Wis,
of New York has had extended con
ferences with Attorney General Wick
ersham and Assistant Secretary Cur
tis on the question and the investiga
tors have progressed to a point where
some action by the government ma!
soon be taken.

ORIENT CHARGED
WITH FAVOR|T|sM
Allege That Delays Make it Impossible
to Ship Cattle to Oklahoma City
Packing Houses.

Guthrie, Okla, Dec. 22.-The Okla
homa Traffic association has filed a
complaint with the corporation COM
mission charging that the Kansas City
Mexico & Orient Railway company is
discriminating in rates and service
against the packing house at Oklahoma
City and in favor of the packing in.
dustries of Fort Worth, Wichita and
Kansas City. The complaint alleges
that through lay-overs and delays it
virtually is impossible to ship cattle,
hogs and sheep by way of the Orient
and connecting lines to the stock yards
at Oklahoma City. The complaint also
alleges that the Orient has made a
joint rate from Arapahoe, Okla, and
points south to Fort Worth, Tex, via
Chillicothe, Tex, of 20 cents hundred
for 2S2 miles, or LAP cents a ton mile
To the complaint is appended a
schedule of rates which the traffic as
sociation asks the commission to put
in force. Chairman Jack Love states
that number of complaints have been
made to the commission involving 9th.
er roads, complaining of alleged dis
examinations in rates on live stock
against Oklahoma City and in favor OF
Kansas City, st. Joseph, Wichita and
Fort Worth, which almost has stopped
the shipment of live stock for slaugh
ter to the Oklahoma City market. The
lcomplainants charge that the packing
industries in cities outside the state
are given the benefit of interstate
rates from points in Oklahoma which
are cheaper than the intrastate rates
from these points to the stock yards
at Oklahoma City.
Chairman Love said that when the
corporation commission put in force its
last freight rate schedule, live stocl
was placed in the schedule, but the
traffic bureau and shippers in Okla
homa asked the commission not to pu
this rate in force, stating that they
could get better results through vol
untary rate than from the railroads
1t seems now that the traffic bureau
however, has thrown up it's hands ant
has called on the corporation commits
sion for help. Chairman Love says h'
will fix an early date for the hearing
and that if some roads actually are
discriminating the commission will or
der a readjustment of rates on live
stock on intrastate shipments so tha
the Oklahoma packing industry cal
compete with the interstate rates

BIG ROW EXPECTED WHEN
RED|STR|CT|NG BEGINS

All would be well if the apportionment
would be such as not to take away
from some of the states some of their
members. To maintain the present
number of congressman in the house
the unit would have to be 235, ,223. I'm
der such an apportionment Oklahoma,
California, Washington and New York
each would get two more representa-
tives; Oregon, Utah, Idaho, Montana,
New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Texas
would gain one each, but there would
be large number of states who would
be losers.
Thus, Indiana, Iowa and Missouri
would lose two each, and Illinois, Wis
consin, Kansas, Maine, Maryland, Ne
braska, Tennessee, North Carolina,
Ohio and Virginia each would lose one.
Naturally the thirteen states thus af-
fected will oppose the movement to
cut down their representation in con-
gress. They doubtless will wage a
bitter fight that will so seriously in
wade their prestige and strength in
the nation for not only would they lose
in congress, but also in the national
conventions, ad that is mighty import
ant when it comes to nominating a
president.
There is a lot of politics in it, too,
for the insurgents claim that the larger
the unit Of representation the larger
the gain of congressman west of the
Mississippi river With ratio of 215,-
900 the east would gain twenty, while
the west would only advance sixteen.
Under the 100000 the west would gain
six and the east one.
At different times New York and
Virginia have lost six congressman as
result of reapportionment bills and
Pennsylvania and Maryland four.
Maine has had as many as eight CON
gressmen, but today has but four;
Maryland had nine, compared with six
at present Massachusetts once had
twenty, as compared with fourteen
now, and Virginia once had twenty
three, but now has only ten.
But you can't keep Oklahoma from
having seven congressman the next
time.

THIRTEEN KILLED
BY FALLING WALLS
Police Believe Fredander Leather
Factory Was Set on Fire-AII of
the Men Are Accounted For.
By Associated Press.

by A66OCldJtu toos
Philadelphia, Pa, Dec 22.-Thirteen
known dead, twelve firemen and one
policeman, and more than fifty injured
is the record of last nights fire, at
the Friedlander leather factory here.
At one o'clock this afternoon the Off
cials believed all of the men working
in the ruins when the walls fell on
them were accounted for The dam
age will not exceed twenty-five thou
lsand dollars. The police are making
an investigation on the belief that the
factory was set on fire by an enemy of
Friendlander, who says strange men
have been lurking about the place.
After all night searching the ruins
of the Friedlander leather factory, de-
stroyed by fire last night, it is thought
twenty firemen and policemen were
killed while fighting the fire. The fire
was nearly extinguished, when at an
early hour this morning Chief Daxter
was standing on the roof of two story
building, directing the firemen. Just
inside the building at Bodine street, a
group of firemen were throwing water
on the ruins, when suddenly the wall
fell inward, burying all the men within
and carrying down a big ladder, on
which were six men. The work of
rescue is slow. At eleven o'clock
groans of men still living in the ruins
could be heard.

A Great Play.

"The Climax" is one of the greatest
plays from playwright's pen, and Ed
ward Locke, the author, may be sure
of his fame were he to do nothing
else. The music, specially written for
the play by Joseph Carl Briel, is ex-
quisite. It is replete with classical
arias, music you drink into your soul
and wonder how anything on earth
can be so beautiful so heavenly.

MORRIS EASILY
WINS FROM HART
Big Frisco Engineer Proves a "Real
Hope" in First Fight With
Recognized Fighter.

Sapulpa, Okla, Dec. 21.-Carl Nor
ris, of Sapulpa, the white mans hope,
defeated Marvin A. Hart, ex-champior
heavyweight of the world, before -four
thousand people in the Robinson arena
here last night.
Groggy and weakened by the ter
rife blows Morris shot to Hart's jaw
and continuous hammering on his kid
neys, the old champion could scarcely
rise from his chair when the fourth
round was called, and his seconds
then threw up the sponge.
It was Morris fight all the way.
Early in the first round he lifted the
former worlds heavyweight champion
with terrific left to the head. In
the second round Morris hard drives
to the mouth had Hart groggy and
he continually clinched to save him.
self They clinched when the gong
sounded at the end of the second and
Hart was in distress.
Hart suffered even more punish
ment at the end of the third than in
the former rounds. Morris continued
to hammer Hart's kidneys and the ex-
champion continually clinehed to save
himself from sinking to the floor.
Both men were bleeding badly from
the nose and mouth. Hart weighed in
at 212 pounds and Morris at 235.
Hundreds If spectators were turn
ed away from the doors of the ar ena
and it was estimated that fully five
thousand people were on hand to see
the fight, many of whom were disap-
pointed in not being able to get into
the arena.
It was Morris fifth victory and the
engineer moved big step forward in
the world of pugdom. He is now in a
position to command the attention of
the powers that be in the pugilistic
world, his mastery over the former
champion having plainly shown the
rugged merit of the engineer. 1t would
not be surprising to hear that James
j. Corbett, Gentleman jim" one of
the greatest handlers of fighters, would
take charge of Morris.
1t is said that bout will be ar
ranged soon between Miles Mcleod,
the Missouri giant, training under Joe
Choynski, and Morris. Such bout
has the support of Corbett and others
and the victor of this fight will then
be put into active training for the
much desired bout with Jack Johnson,
whose goat is badly wanted.
Hart was powerless before Morris
and the match was unequal, Morris
beginning his heavy hammering from
the minute he stepped into ring. Hart
entered the ring confident of his ability
to whip the unframed engineer, but a
Jolt to the head made him vince and
at the end of the first round the ex-
Cndulp SGCnCu W ICe1llHC thclb llC W as
