SUGAR WAR COST
MILLIONS IN CASH

Washington, June 29.-William CT.
Gilmore, managing partner Of ArbuCkle
Bros, of Brooklyn, resumed the stand
today In the House sugar trust investi-
cation, and described the wal made on
the American Sugar Refining company
by his firm in 1889. The Arbuckles
began manufacturing refined sugar in
1898 n since then has been independ-
ent of the trust.
I'VE cut the price 25 points under
the trust price soon after we started
in West Virginia and Ohio" said Mr..
Gilmore, because the trust sought to
induce the wholesale grocers in those
states to buy sugar exclusively from
the American. This was in 1903.
1--WE kept the price down four and
five months and got the business in
those states. Eventually the price re-
turned to normal, but the American
never did get back all It's business in
those states"
The American first cut the price
under Arbuckles, the witness said, from
10 to Is points and when his was met
the trust began q campaign to procure
exclusive contracts. Drastic price cut
ting ceased about the close of 1899.
During that period Mr.. Gilmore said
his firm lost in the sugar business about
81, $50, 900. he witness also related
how, after the Arbuckles went into the

they ran 1t to the ground in four or

Mr.. Gilmore told the committee to-
day that trade wars in this
country had practically ceased and
that conditions in the trade were very
fair, though not ideal.
Where does the condition fall
short?" Representative Madison asked.
THE cane sugar refiners are not
making enough money"
He attributed his TO overproduction,
too much refining capacity, the beet
sugar industry as now protected. etc.
IF we too the duty off sugar, what

feat Of the Root provision later in the

Boston, June 27.-Who hath done
murder TO the Boston bean is the
question in Boston. Boston eats per-
s%istently, earnestly and enthusiastic-

characterizes its eating is spaghetti.

in 1905. In 1910 he imported more
han 900, 900 cases. This is something
more than 10000 tons, and this year
IL is expected all records will be
broken.
Tradition is tottering. And this in
the town where, If the joke columns
be credited, the bill of fare is beans,

and beloved cod. though the testimony
OF restaurant men is that Boston eats
no more beans per capita than other
cities while it probably holds the spa

OFFERS
AMENDMENTS TO

iowa Senator Would Give the
Farmer as Well as Consumer
Relief in Pending Bill.

Washington. June 29.-Referring to
the consideration of the Canadian reci-
procity question as the drama now
in progress In the Senate of the United
States" Senator Cummins. of Iowa,
today delivered a speech on the reci-
procity bill and offered important
amendments to the agricultural pro-
vision. No attempt vas made by the
republican leaders at the opening OF
the session to fix a date for a vote
IN the bill.
Senator Cummins said it was appar-
ent republicans and democrats favor
ing the bill had determined to submit
20 the repeated statement that the
president would accept no amendments
to the Canadian agreement.
Il make no comment on this situa"
tion," said he, Save that it seems to
Senate n an abandonment Of the
responsibilities"
Criticises the Combine.
Senator Cummins attacked the COM
bination of regular republicans and
democrats to pass the reciprocity bill.
1T seems to be conceded" he said,
that a minority of the republican
senators, most Of whom have advocat-
ed high and indefensible duties in the
tariff law on manufactured products,
and a majority of the democrats, who
have professed adherence to the prin-
ciple of a tariff for revenue only, pur-
pose to pass this reciprocity bin with
out change
The BILL" he said, " will accomplish
only two important things; admit free
Of duty the agricultural products of
Canada n admit a small quantity of
wood pulp and print paper"
After the passage Of the bill through
this combination, Senator CumminS
said, the democrats expected to make
a combination with republicans who
favor tariff revision to pass other bills.
Whacks Standpatters.
1T is perfectly plain to me- he
added, that the republicans whom /
have mentioned will be valiant enough
in defense of the high duties for the
rich and powerful manufacturers"
Senator Cummins' amendments pro
posed to admit free from Canada both
raw and manufactured agricultural
products, including fresh meats, can
ned meats, barley, malt, flour, iron,
steel. wooden goods, cotton goods, silk
and leather goods. These amendments
apply only on the American side Of the
line.
The speaker protested against the
"usurpation of the executive power" by
the president and declared he did not
believe the president could lawfully
make a proposal to Canada or receive
one from that country. He declared
congress was the only power that could
make a proposal for reciprocity. Sena-
tor Cummins announced he would CO.
operate in any attempt to get lower
duties in other tariff bills,
