THE SUGAR WAR
NOT YET ENDED
John ArbuckIe Believed That Peace
Would be Criminal.

New Paltz, y. Y, July 25.-The one
good reason why the warning sugar in
terests did not sign an agreement To
end conflict was the fear of the Sher-
man law There were minor consid-
erations, but every time the matter was
broached to Arb ekle when the fight
was waged the - nest, Arbuckle de-
clined and told his opponents TO re
member the Sherman law.
Propped up by pillows in bed, Ar
buckle testified today before the sub
committee of the special congressional
investigating committee.
The congressman came to Mr.. Ar
buckles bedside because he was unable
to come to them and they found him
apparently unreserved in giving the
history of his commercial battle. Mr..
Arbuckle said the fight started in 1898
after there had been friction between
his coffee company and the American
Refinery The American company re
taliated by going into the coffee busi-
ness. In 1897 however. Havcmeyer had
tried unsuccessfully To purchase 81
percent of his uncompleted refinery.
The witness said the sugar war was
not vet ended and that he had always
said there should be no agreement to
curtaiI production or control prices.
Mr.. Arbuckle said he strongly suspect
ed that rebates were being given by
the refinerfcs to wholesalers. but he
did not think the railroads were in

NEBRASKA DEMOCRATS

Governor Harmon of Ohio Looms
ConspicuousIy.

Freemon., Neb. July 24.-Three dis
tinct factions Of Nebraska democrats
are represented in the gathering to-
night Of delegates to the democratic
state convention tomorrow. No leader
would admit, however, the possibility
Of a disagreement over the platform
TO be drawn.
Mayor Dahlman of Omaha has
headquarters near those of Charles
W. Bryan. who came to the city in
the interest of William J. Bryan. and
the representatives of United States
Senator Hitchcock are quartered in
the same hOstelry.
Charles W. Bryan announced that
the Bryan followers were for peace.
and declared that any attempt by the
Dahlman men to reflect on the for
mor presidential candidate would meet
with a vigorous offensive movement.
Perhaps the most significant feature
of ante convention conditions was the
prominence given the candidacy of
Governor Harmon of Ohio for the
presidency Early in the day sup
porters of the governor placarded the
town with his pictures.
After several conferences lasting un-
til late tonight there was evidence that
the rival factions were anything but
united so far as concerns the plat
form. The point at issue was the de-
mand of William ]. Bryan's friends for
on the resolutions com
mittee and their desire that the plat
form contain a commendation of the
thrice democratic presidential candi-
date
1t was stated that at the last mo-
ment all differences had been settled
and that Temporary Chairman Har-
rington would be permitted to appoint
a resolutions committee Of which Gov

Admitted that Steel Business Went On
Under Similar Agreement.

Washington, d. c.. July 24-The pur-

Chairman Stanley produced a copy of
the agreement which was admitted in
evidence against the protest of counsel
for the corporations that it was unau-

business operations Of these companies
continued under an understanding sim
liar to the agreement. The original
agreement provided. for the formation
of the Steel Plate association of the

Inasmuch as the gravamen of the
complaint of the city of Spokane
and to some extent of Salt Lake
City was directed against the viola
tion of the fourth section, it is
under the amended fourth section, the
relief to which of these communities
are entitled can now be granted.
THE complainants contend that
the provision in the amended section
permitted the commission to author
iZe in particular instances the charg
ing of a higher rate at the intermed-
late point, rs void as a delegation
of legislative authority; that it had
been rejected and the section applied
by the commission as though it were
an absolute long and short haul,
prohibition. This contention is not
sustained.
THE defendants contend that the
only effect of the amendment is to
cast upon the carriers the burden
of assuming the initiative in justifying
the higher rate at the intermediate
point. If upon investigation it found
that competition exists at the more
distant point and not at the inter
melate point, the commission must
without further inquiry grant the
relief asked for; if no such cOmpe-
tition exists it must deny the appli-
cation. This contention is not sus-
tanned.
In amending the fourth section
by striking out the words similar
congress intended to
invest the commission with authority
not only to determine whether
wrong resulted from the disregard
for the long and short haul provis-
ion. but also to correct that wrong
if it was found to exist.
In determining whether the car
riers shall be permitted to make the
higher intermediate charge the COM
mission cannot act arbitrarily but
must apply the principles which con-
troll it in the administration of
other portions of the act. 1t must
inquire whether the maintenance of
the higher intermediate rate will
