WANT TO KNOW
ABOUT SUGAR
Investigation Will Be Made
to Determine Cause of
Advance

Washington. Dec. 16.-An investi-
cation to determine why the price of
sugar was increased several cents a
pound last summer was begun today
by the house committee appointed to
investigate sugar conditions. Letters
We're sent to all the cane sugar and
beet sugar refineries in the United
States requiring sworn statements
showing:
The actual cost Of refining each
year for the past five years.
The actual cost Of each consign-
ment of raw sugar purchased this
year.
The amount of raw sugar on hand
July l, 1911 and its actual cost.
The amount of raw sugar contract
ed for but not delivered July I, 1911,
with actual dates of delivery.
The number Of pounds of refined
sugar In stock. or owned by the re-
f1ners July /.
The beet sugar companies also are
required to state the number Of tons
OF beets sliced. the cost of making
sugar and the price paid for the beets.
Many members of the special in
vestigating committee Of which Rep
resentative Hardwick of Georgia is
chairman, have expressed the belief
that all stocks of raw sugar we're con-
tracted for prior to July ! and that
the sharp rise in price during the
summer resulted In large profits for
the refinerS.

While neither the president nor Sec
