EVILS OF SUGAR
TRUST DESCRIBED
Several Witnesses Appear Before
House Investigating
Committee.

Washington. D. c.. July 15.-The
House sugar investigating committee
to-day heard the evils of the sugar
trust" described by representatives of
the Louisiana can growers and manu-
facturers of unretined sugar. The wit
nesses discussed the tariff. declaring
that elimination or material reduction
in existing duties on sugar would de-
stroy their industry.
Theodore S. Wilkinson, Myrtle Grove,
La. planter and manufacturer and. for
mer member of Congress John Dy-
nond. Of New Orleans, and j. E. Bur-
CURES. manufacturer, testified. MIR.
Bursuires. who was on the stand when
the committee adjourned, will be re-
called Monday.
Mr.. Wilkinson said that two-thirds
of Louisiana sugar was sold to re-
finers. The remainder was further re-
fined at small cost, and sold direct TO
consumers. The planters could not
refine all their product, and sell 1t
directly TO consumers he said, because
they did not have the capital.
All the witnesses agreed that they
were compelled By the trust" to &C
cept lower price for their produce
than the price prevailing In New York.
and to have the cost OF freight from
New Orleans TO New York deducted.
though none OF the sugar actually
reached New York
Mr.. Burguires told at length of now
he had been "boycotted" several years
ago by the American Sugar Refining
Company because he sold a large
quantity of sugar to the Federal
Representative Madison said an at
tempt had been made to make the
committee believe that lot OF "bene-
VIOLENT philanthropists" nowhad charge
of the American Sugar Refining Com
pany, and that the practices of Mr.
Havemeyers day had been abandoned
Mr. Burguires said no change in the
methods of the trust had been no
ticed since Mr.. Havemeyer's death, and
the planters were being treated as
arbitrarily as ever
