IT FINDS A TRUST
Hardwick Investigating Conn
mittee Reports TO House
The Result of Its Probing Into
the Sugar Business.
GIVES HAVEMEYER CREDIT
For the Organization of the
Unlawful Combination.
Continuous Violation of the
Sherman Law Is Charged.

washington, Feb. 1.-THE Hard
wick sugar trust investigation COM
mittee after many weeks OF open hear
ings here and in New York reported
to the house today that a sugar trust
exists The report which is signed
by all the members of the committee,
Republicans as well as Democrats,
makes no recommendation as to how
the alleged trust and those responsible
for it shall be dealt with. suggesting
that this phase of the situation is one
to be handled by a standing committee
of the house. AS to the effect of the
combine on the cost of sugar to the
consumer, the committee expresses the
belief that monopoly keeps the price
nm b7yt makes no attempt to TX &C
f-r1rafelv the extent to which reason
able prices that might exist uiuei
competitive conditions are exceeded.
THE report severely condemns the
original promoters OF the sugar trust
but describes the 1900 present owners
a. the stock of the American Renn1ng
company as "snnocent purchasers OF
profitable stock which was unloaded on
them by the few men who organized
the sugar trust Henry O. HaVemeyer
fs given credit for the organization OF
4he combination and of him the report
says THAT this colossal speculation has
come through with success and today
stands on an established business basis
is due to the genius of It's arcnltect'
rather than to any of the restraining
powers of society as expressed in law.
The committee charges that since the
organization Of the American Sugar
Refining company in 1891 it has repeat
edly violated the Sherman law
CAT the time it was chartered the
Sherman law had been in force more
than six months, and both its organiza-
ton and existence coupled with its
method of doing business was, as the
testimony seems to indicate to your
committee a palpable and continuing
violation of the Sherman law" the re-
port continues, and yet no serious at
tempt was made (prior to November,
1910 to invoke the civil remedies pro-
vided by the antitrust law against the
corporation It is also to be noted that
the government has not even up to the
present time so far as has appeared,
made any effort to enforce the penal
provisions of the Sherman law"

chicago, Feb. T.-WHEAT-Reports of
Tree offerings of Argentine wheat at Iiv-

crop. Chicago warehouses, too, were ex-

two weeks in view of the amount of

took hold more actively after the market
had somewhat declined The result was
to steady prices.
Opening figures were a shade to re

crop OF a sixteenth to 1kQ1zc, touched
Sl.0l9sQlO115 and then sagged to $1O11sQ

Subsequently statmemnts that the gov
eminent report had underestimated the
Minnesota crop 10000, 600 bushels and that
the receipts would be heavy for another
month led to a fresh break. The close

those powers which the paopIe-their
prlHcipals-confer upon them in the
constitution and a judiciary sworn to
administer Justice, according to the
constitution and laws OF the United
STATES, Tor example, must, of necessity,
adJudge to be void any act of congress
winch is not authorized by the eonsti-
tuition It would hardly seem necessary
to argue such proposition but for the
fact that so many attacks have been
made upon the federal judiciary for
performing precisely this duty.
we nave not yet required of our leg
1slat1on the scientific precision of for
mutation which business men require in
Inc completion Of important contracts
When the right of Iitigants depends
upon the provisions of statutes it is the
duty of the courts to construe them
and to construe them in the light of
reason. It seems incredible that any
man of average Intelligence should be
found to take any other view of judic-
ial duty.
Same Principle Involved.
The same principle precisely is in
VOWED in the construction and appli-
cation of the acts of congress regulat-
ing transportation Every merchant,
every man. manufacturer, has a vital
interest in the rates of transportation
over the railroads connecting different
PARTS Of the United States and in the
establishment and maintenance of a
system thai will be free from con-
fusion. Such a system can only be
maintained under a control which shall
be as comparative as the business OF
the country.
Unless we continue to have judges
who are independent, whose tenure Of
Office does not hang upon nomentary
popularity with the roads and who are
not to be deferred from performing
their duty by any amount of clamor,
these questions may be not decided in
accordance with the constitution and
the law, but according to other condi-
lions. I anu aware that judges as we'll
as other people sometimes are strongly
Indifferent to a righteous public sentl-
ment and allow themselves to be in
f1uenced in the Interpretation and ap-
plications OF laws by class prejudice
CT personal consideration. Where Judges
become SO blinded by prejudice or class
feeling that they cannot fairly anu
impartially administer the law they
should be impeached. But the process
of impeachment of judges is a cumber-
some one. But it may be noted in pass
ing that during the $50 years Of it's
existence the judiciary of the United
States has teen almost without excep-
ton free from any suspicion of corrup-
ton or misconduct, and has performed
the duties laid upon it certainly as eff
fciently as any other branch of the
government"

water and foods, impressed the people
of Topeka with the Importance of pro-
vidinss some measures Of safety. In &C
cordance Herewith ii was considered
proper and imperative that the Melan
bridge be extended, and this was done.
At that time they only removed such
portion of the debris as would permit
Of the erection of the abutments sup
porting that end of the bridge. Con-
siderable debris lying between these
spans was not removed as the work Of
extension was completed this summer
or fall The city commissioners know
in that this work of removing this
debris was necessary to give greater
expansion, and thereby lessen the dan
ger by high water, considered it neces-
sary to remove that debris at this time,
and do 1t when there was a great deal
of surplus labor on the market. thereby
enabling them to do this work on a
cheap basis.
City Is Inconsistent.
The claim that the work is not
necessary at this time is unreasonable
and inconsistent when you consider
the above facts. If it was left over
until after the flood season the same
danger would obtain from high water
that has caused considerable alarm
on the part of citizens of the North
side in the past Furthermore, if it
was left until that time, which would
be we'll into the summer months,
they could not secure the labor as
cheaply az at this time.
1 sincerely hope that the citizens of
Topeka will consider the above facts.
and the city commissioners also, and
will no longer maintain that this work
is not necessary at this time, but was
let simply to give some certain needy
men work.
Inasmueh as they have refused to
conform with the provisions of the
law, 1 suppose they intend
to test the law, which is satisfactory
to this department, as we should like to
know whether this law is valid, or can
be nulled and set aside at the whiTn
and caprice of a few people holding
city positions.
1t is not my intention to incur the i'll
will or antagonize the commission IN
the least, but must do my duty, and
will enforce all the laws coming under
the jurisdiction of this department re-
CARELESS of who or what interests are
involved in a violation of any law COM
ing under this department.
1 sincerely hope the good people of
Topeka will not think me arbitrary. but
will respect me for believing in the en-
forcement of a law that is a great ben
eft to men who are compelled to labor
for a living.

According to Mrs. Wheeler, who was
fetchingIy attired in a gown of black
velvet, the trouble was all due to the
fact that she loved him too much
The comely young woman broke
down completely and sobbed as she
told of Wheeler leaving Ter practical
ly penniless, apparently without any
other cause than that he had tired of
her.
After Wheeler left his wife and she
started her suit for separation. the
court granted her alimony at the rate
of $4,000 a year. He succeeded in
having that reduced to $4,000, and re-
Gently made an application to the
court to have it reduced still further
to 500 a month. When Mrs. Wheel
er, who lives at the Great Northern
hotel, was informed of this, she threw
up her hands in alarm and exclaimed
Il shall be a pauper, d beggar. I can
possibly live on less than $4,000 year"
Wheeler was a member of the firm
of J. B. Russell & Co, Wall street bank
ers. who recently went into dissolution
Because of this Wheeler's counsel said,
Wheeler was unable to pay more than
500 a month alimOny. Mrs. Wheeler
declared that when Wheeler left her
his income was more than $40 600 a
year. Their last trip abroad together,
she said which was shortly before their
separation, he spent STAT 900 in six weeks.
In concluding her testimony, Mrs
Wheeler said she gave up a very
great career en- the stage to marry
Wheeler.
Il had only been on the stage short
time when I met Mr.. Wheeler" she
added but was the priTna donna, ap-
pearing with Frank Daniels and other
well known artists"
Wheeler is not opposing a separation,
but he objects to paying a large amount
of alimOny. He explains his abandon
ment of his wife by saying she has too
much artistic temperament and that it
was Impossible for him TO 1--we with her
