Three Flags to Be Given Away.
EDWIN C. RILEY

Wednesday is flag day and Augusta
will witness an unprecedented obser-
vance of the day in connection with the
meetings of the patriotic organizations.
as no less than three flags are to be
given away during the day. Two flags
will be presented at the campfire
Wednesday night at City hall, one
from the Woman's National Relief
Corps of the Department of Maine to
the G. A. r. and the other to Cony
High school. The flag presentation at
4.30 p. NJ. at the Penney Memorial
church by the Ladies' of the G. A. r.
to the Free Baptist Sunday school is
public and all friends are invited Sing
ing by the pupils of the Sunday school
will add to the interest of the obser-
vance.
But few of the members of the Di-
vision of Maine. Sons of Veterans had
begun to arrive Tuesday night as the
preliminary meetings of that body and
the Ladies Auxiliary connected with
it will not be held Wednesday fore
noon. The advance guard of the Sons
of Veterans, who were at the head
quarters at the Cony House Tuesday
night were Past Colonel William Fl.
Cressey of Westbrook, Councillor t. l..
Montgomery of Boothbay Harbor and
Major Otis p. Aver of Auburn
The question of leading interest in
connection with the state Encampnent
of the Sons of Veterans is whether or
not that body will decide TO remain
with the National organization. an eff
fort having been made several months
ago to secede and final action upon
the proposition being deferred until
this meeting. 1t was stated late Tues
day night by a prominent member OF
the organization that the question of
secession would probably be tabled or
indefinitely postponed as a much bet
ter feeling towards the National or
ganization existed now than several
months ago.

CHEAPER SUGAR

But Free Sugar Would Serious
Iy Injure American Producers.
Pres. Atkins Of American Sugar Re
filming Co., Is Authority.

Washington, June ia reduction of
the sugar bill of the American people
as a result of the reduction Of the tar
if on raw sugar. was predicted today
by Edwin f. Atkins, head of the
American Sugar Refining Co., in testi-
flying before the House special sugar
committee today Free listing sugar,
however, he said, would result in driv-
ing many sugar beet producers in the
United States out of business and Sc
riously Gripping Louisiana cane pro-
ducers. Rep. Madison of Kansas tried
to get the witness to fix point to
which the duty might safely be reduc-
ed lie declined.
AS an economist. as a dealer in SUI
gar as a great producer in Cuba, you
should be able to give us a valuable
suggestion, said Mr.. Madison, coax
ingly.
Mr.. Atkins responded that his COM
pany had not discussed the subject
formally and that he must decline to
answer until he was called before the
ways and means committee.
The tariff discussion occurred in con-
nection with testimony regarding the
price of sugar, about which Mr.. At
kins testified practically all the day.
At the conclusion of the session, Chair
man Hardwick announced the COM
mittee was through with Mr.. Atkins for
the present and tomorrow would hear
Charles r. Heike. formerly secretary
of the American Sugar Refining Co.
Mr. Madison led Mr.. Atkins to adj
NIT that in dollars and cents Cuba
profted practically nothing as re-
suit of the Favored Nation" treaty
with this country in sugar importa-
tions. When Cuba had sugar to sell, he
said, the price went down so low that
the differential enjoyed over other
countries was wiped out, but when
that country had no sugar to SELL the
differential was available
The committee sought to find out if
the refineries sold refined sugar any
cheaper as a result of the low prices
attending the marketing of the Cuban
sugar crop. Mr.. Atkins was not sure
and will file a statement covering the
point.
Chairman Hardwiek took the witness
through a lengthy review of sugar prices.
Mr. Atkins said the differences between
the cost of the raw sugar and the selling
price of refined sugar left the refners at
