any President guilty of bribery who

gardless of merit, representative
Lindbergh Of Minnesota, an insurgent
debate in the House this afternoon
attacked what he claims was "the

Washington, June IA reduction
of the sugar bill Of the American peo-
pie was predicted today by Edwin f
Atkins, head Of the American Sugar
Refining Company, as probable re-
suit of the reduction In tariff on raw
sugar, in testimony he gave to the
house special sugar committee.
However, he said 1t would probably
result in driving many beet sugar pro-
ducers in the United States out Of

Representative Madison Of Kansas
sought to induce the witness to FIX a
figure to which the duty might ably
be declined.
Chairman Hardwick took the wit
ness through a lengthy review Of SUI
gar price. Mr.. Atkins said that the diff
ference between the cos.s Of the raw
sugar and the selling price of the re-
fined sugar left the refiners at pres
ent SO cents per hundred pounds to
cover the cost OF refining and profits.
This difference was only II cents in
1885. and rs, in 1887.
In 1888, after the merger resulting
in the American Sugar Refining Com
pany, the difference rose to S125.
