MASTERS and PILOTS BODY
ASKS ABOUT "CAMPbELL'SLIE"

why was It necessary for Campbell
to lie to Captain Tripp?'
This question is put by the local
branch Of the Masters and Pilots As
ISOLATION in AN open letter yesterday
afternoon, in which is taken up the
discussion at meeting of the Cham
Der of Commerce trustees the previous
day.
The letter Is an answer to some Of
the criticism passed on the Masters
and Pilots, us well as AN emphatic
statement of its attitude.
The open letter follows:
10 the Editor.
IN RESPONSE TO MIR. SWANZY.
Kindly allow us space in your valu-
able paper to answcr what we con-
slider the slurs and unfair criticisms
of Mr.. Swanzy and Mr.. Campbell
against our association.
In the first place, we are not n wa
tcrrront organization antagonistic to
the harbormastcr or trying to disrupt
the business of this port: in fact, we
are just the reverse. as tha principal
aims and objects of our association
are to improve the conditions of our
ports and encourage commerce to this
Territory, and in this regard we have
an onviahlc record behind us of which
we may justly feel proud UP to tho
ful in every petition we have present
cd to the authorities in Washington.
However, this Is not stated IN any
boastful mood but simply to rcfutc the
slurs cast upon our association by the
above named gentlemen.
We entered this harhormastcr con-
trovcrsy solely in the interests of this
port, rs we claim the change that has
been made and the manner In which II
was made pointed to personal motives
being served instead of lettering con-
dltiuns. why was II necessary for Mr..
Campbell to lie To Captain Trip? If
the captain had proved himself incom-
pctcnt and had wilfully disobcyed his
mittcc ut the interview, why did he not
then discharge him? But in the letter
to Captain Trip he went on record
highly commencing the captain for his
very efficient and faithful services, the
board also stating that they had moth
ing to criticize in his work
We absolutely deny making any
threats Ia the commissioners, rs we
very distinctly stated to Mr.. Campbell
In answer to his question. Did we come
there to threaten the board? that we
were making no threats, but in fairness
to them had notified them that we
were going to publish our views In the
public press. This occurred at the end
of the interview.
We maintain that If the change was
made to improve conditions, why Is II
necessary to choose u man who they
admit they can not trust to handle "A
vessel? They admit that the present
! harbormastcr win he relieved from per-
forming one of the principal duties of

RAW SUGAR IS
EXHAUS7EDNOW

SAN FRANCISCO, Sent. 90. - The
raw sugar crop Is exhausted and the
price has climbed up twenty points,
hoing now quoted At $G1j Il sack, aud
practically impossible to gel it ut that
Price. As a result refined sugar has
advanced comparatively and from now
TO next January housewives will have
to pay dollar for thirteen pounds,
with the prospect of getting possibly
less than that for their dollar before
the close of the year.
Several large sugar rChnCriCs have
been forced to close down in the East,
while many others arc offering from
30 to IS cents in advance OF the mar
kct price for raw sugar.
There Is no moro sugar coming in
said Louis SarOni yesterday. in com
mCuting on the increase. "and that is
why sugar went up. The Arbucklo
Sugar Refining Company of New York
is paying 10 cents premium on sugar
per sack and the Federal Company is
paying 80 cents. while many others
are paying % cents on tho sack. There
will be no relief until the January
crop from Java.
THE lack Of hot weather and rain,
the conditions necessary to produce
the saccharine, are the reasons for
the short crop The best crop will
come in soon, but it will be SO small
that IT will be swallowed up without
any noticeable influence.
81 think that the price will remain
the same as it is now, but 1t Is all a
question of the gamble in sugar in
New York and London. The prices
are fixed In New York and London,
and there is no telling whether there
will he a gamble on sugar now or not.
Eastern refnerics have been forced
to close down. while others are pay
ing the premium just to get the sugar.
To keep from closing. There will be
no danger of the local refneries clos
ing, as they will have enough sugar
until the new crop comes ill.,"

harbormustcr, namely, the moving and
docking of ships.
We also wish to state. in answer to
Mr.. Swanzy's suspicion that the local
pilots were involved I'm this contro-
versy. that the local pilots were not
consulted In this matter. nor have they
approached our association or uttered
a single word for or against this mat
ter in any manner whatsoever. In view
of the fact that the harbor commission
crs were invited to the meeting of the
Chamber of Commerce to give their
views. we feel that in common fairness
to our association we also should have
been represented. Mr. Swanzy IL cvt-
IDENTITY inclined to bclittlc our associ-
alton and insinuatcs that we feel in
suited by not being kowtowcd to. We
would answer the gentleman by stat
ing that Mr.. Campbell and the COM
munity in general are not above con-
sulting the Masters and Pilots when
they are seeking advice in regard TO
matters pertaining to the commerce Of
this Territory, such as the location of
wharvcs. etc, and which we are al
ways willing and do cheerfully give. We
are often invited by the different de-
partmcnts In Washington to forward
suggestions for improvements In our
Territory. MIR. Swanzy is evidently
very bitterly against our association

BITTER FIGHT
in CANADA
Liberals and Conservatives in
a CAMPAIGN Over the Re-
CiprOCity Issue
LAURIER PREDICTS BIG
VICTORY FOR LEADERS
By The United Press.

R9 lnt 1NAitu AInos
OTTAWA, Ont, July 31.-Wiih the
campaign for control OF the next Par
lament already in full swing it was
plain today that the fight, which will
end with the elections of September
p, will be the most bitter in tho his
tory of the Dominion. Already per-
sonalities are being freely INDUCED ia
by the leaders on both sides and it
is very likely that the northern and
western provinces will bear the brunt
Of the battle.
The vote in the cities, it is conceded
will not change very much. But the
big country vote is hard to reckon
with. At the outset it is admitted TO
have a decided swing to the liberal
side but the raising Of the annexa-
ton question by the Conservation
leaders is expected to complicate the
situation.
Robert L. Borden, the Conservative
leader, makes it very plain in his
address to the voters that he con-
siders the outcome of the election will
be positive declaration by the Ca
madam people of what they expect
their future commercial policy to be.
While he does not hint in any way
the possibility of annexation being a
real issue his followers are expected
to see to it that it is made the vital
question.
Sir Wilfred Laurier insists that the
country wants reciprocity and he said
today he believed his party would
have a very largely. increased mem
bership in the new Parliament
