SUGAR FRAUDS GET
HEARING IN HOUSE
Impossible to Prosecute the
Higher Ups Govern
ment Atty. Testified.
National News Association

Washington, June 1O.-lnvestiga-
ton of the New York customs house
sugar fraud and compromise settle
ment made by Attorney General Wick
ersham with the American Sugar Re-
hning company, began today before
the special house committee investi-
eating the methods of the department
of justice. Representative Beall, OF
Texas, is chairman of the committee.
District Attorney Wise, of New York
City, told the committee that it had
been impossible to get any of the men
higher up, because of the sugar
frauds. I'VE were after Arbuckle and
Jameson of the Arbuckle Refining
COMPANY" said the witness, but un-
fortunately the evidence was such
that We didn't seem able to get then" +"
Has anybody in the American Re-
filming company higher up than Heike
been prosecutor" asked Beall.
THE man above Heike is beyond
prosecution" replied Wise. "He was
Henry Havemeyer and he died few
months after the frauds were dis
covered in 1907"
How about the other officers of
the American Sugar Refining COM
pany?" asked Beall. ...
Havemeyer the Company.
"Havemeyer was the company. The
others were all manikins in Havemey-
er's hands," replied Wise.
Chairman Beali then asked Wise
why the government could not insist
on penalties instead of making com,
promise settlement with both Ameri-
can and the Arbuckle companies.
Il had nothing to do with the set
tlement." said Wise. District Attor-
ney Stimston handled that during his
regime. As for me, I believe in a
pound of flesh and blood for all those
Who violate the customs law and I
attempt to enforce the penalties, for
felt the goods and collect the duties
as provided by law"
Wise admitted that If the full pen
aities had been assessed against the
two companies the settlement might
have resulted in forfeiture of hun
dred million of dollars worth of SUI
gar He declared, however. that he
did not propose to criticize the settle
ment with which he had nothing to
do.
WAS the penalty insisted upon at
all?" asked Beall.
Il think not said Wise" ! had
no control of the matter. II was un.
der my predecessor. but so far as
know no demand was made under the
penalty clause"

OLCOTT'S
GREETING
TO YEOMEN
ACTING GOVERNOR DELIVERS
ADDRESS OF WELCOME TO
YEOMAN OFFICIALS AT ELKs'
HALL MONDAY NIGHT.

In addressing the big assemblage
gathered in Elks' hall last night in
honor Of visiting officials, Secretary
OlcOtt said:
an the absence of Governor West
it becomes my pleasant duty to well
come to Salem, the Cherry City OF
the World, Mr.. William Koch, grand
foreman, and Mr.. VIM. Davey, chief
correspondent of the Brotherhood OF
A American Yeomen, one of the great
fraternal orders of the United
States.
The growth and development of
fraternalism in this country during
the past 20 years has been one Of the
significant features of our constantly
expanding national life, and perhaps
none of the great orders have made
more rapid strides than has the
Y eomen. In 1897 this society, ! am
informed. had less than 1000 mem
bers, and assets of only $4,000 On
July /, 1911, 1t had membership
of about 10000 and its assets had
reached the splendid total Of almost
vyo million dollars. During the first
IA years Of its existence the order
paid to the widows and orphans Of
its members over $6,0OO,00O. There
are now 5000 local lodges scattered
over 23 states of the Union and the
Dominion Of Canada. In Oregon
there are $500 members, Of whom
200 are in Salem.
Since Mr.. Koch became the head Of
this great order about seven years
ago, 100000 earnest men and wo-
m en- have enlisted undert he Yeoman
banner, and a million dollars have
been added to the fund behind the In
surance policies Of our friends who
year the Yeoman shield. These fig
ures speak volumes for the ability
and energy OF Mr.. Koch, and II 49,
IN erefore unnecessary for me to say
anything in praise Of our guest Of
honor.
There seems to be something IN the
I mosphere OF Oregon that breeds
hospitality and friendship We are
al ways glad to extend the hand Of
greeting and fellowship 10 the way
IA rer from east Of the mountains, and
particularly II he happens 70 hail
from Iowa--a commonwealth which
has sent forth thousands OF her stur-
dv native sons TO become the bone
and sinew OF state bountifully
blessed by nature, and which Is now
in the van OF a great movement to
m AXE this a government Of the peo-
pie by the people and for the people,

It was positively denied by both
the state and the defense that the
McNamaras. would turn states evil
dence and would tell Freder'cks the
Whereabouts Of Schmidt and Caplan
All that was asked, Fredericks said
was that the Times case be cleared
up; so far as he federal probe is
concerned, however. 1t is to be pushed
to a finish. II was stated at the
federal building today that subpoe-
mas for the McNamaras, McManigal
