cuted Promptly.

WASHINGTON, June 10.-Henry A. Wise.
united states district attorney of New
York, frankly admitted to the house COM
mittee on expenditures i'm the department
or justice today ne could not say why IL
was that the government had been content
merely to collect duties In the sugar frauds
cases and had not seized and confiscated
the millions Of dollars worth of sugar
involved in the frauds
When Mr. Wise specifically was asked
why the sugar Itself had not been declared
forfeited to the government, he said:
II am unable to answer that question
because the policy of the government had
been determined before | became district
attorney. l don't want to reflect on any
one. but | say that l have exacted a
pound OF flesh in every instance where
hate been concerned"
Chairman Beall said he had noticed that
women and others who tried TO defraud
the government were usually required to
lorteit their imports and he considered
great misfortune that the sugar i'm
porters had not besn treated likewise.
Mr. Wise, in discussing another phase
OF the sugar prosecution IN New York said
that every man higher up" who could
Dc reached had been proceeded against

Il think President Havemeyer of the
American Sugar Refining company could
have been prosecuted and convicted, said
Mr.. Wise.
Mr. Havemeyer died shortly after the
frauds were discovered. other officers
Of the sugar corporation in Mr. Have
meyers day were alluded to by Mr. Wise
as mere mannlkins."
Chairman Beall at this point questioned
Mr.. Wise as to the recent indictment Of
cotton brokers on charges Of attempting
to corner the cotton market.
Mr.. Wise said the reason that the sec
ond Indictment against the cotton buyers
was withheld from July to December was
that one of the men under indictment was
out OF the country. He testified that the
indicted men were charged with dealing
with not more than las Of the entire sup
ply. Mr.. Beall wanted to know why so
much activity had been manifested against
She men who had dealt In SO small a
quantity OF commodity. while no steps
had been taken toward legal proceedings
against, the officials of the standard OH,
tobacco, or steel corporations Mr.. wise
explained that until very recently in

losses the correspondent from Central City
teleglHphed. He said that there would be
only half wheat crop in those counties
With a little rain II is reported from
Chapman that wheat would make half

than a fourth.
From other parts OF the state the corre-
spondents view the situation more opti-
mistically. Weeping Water, Lexington,
David City, Malmo Cedar Rapids and
other points report that not much damage
has been done to either wheat or oats
