WASHINGTON, d. c.. June L.
The fact seems TO have been demon
strated to the sugar trust that the
planters of Hawaii and Louisiana are
not pouring all the money on earth
into this town for the purpose OF de-
bauching the press and congress. In
any event all of Burns detectives
have been withdrawn and peace
again reigns.
Representatives of the sugar trust
became obsessed with the idea that
the cane-growers of Hawaii and LOU
isiana were deluging this burg with
loose change, F. c. Lowrey, head of
the sugar lobby here, determined to
find out how large this supposed cor
ruption fund; was. and who, were the
beneficiaries. He called on Burns for
e bunch of his gumshoe artists. In
response nineteen sleuths were ship.

WIFE ATTEMPTS SUICIDE

Mrs. Agnes Spalding. divorced wife
of Dr. GUS b. SpaloIng, well-known
surgeon OF the Japanese liner Nippon
Maru, tried to commit suicide in san
francisco on June 2 because she
learned that her lormer husband was
seriously ill in Honolulu, according
TO a story that arrived here today on
the Sonoma
1t is stated that Mrs. Spalding swa[
lowed twenty tablets of bicnloride .or
mercury and little hope was held out
for her recovery. Mrs. Spalding has
figured in several sensational events.
The couple were married nine years
ago and divorced in 1911. The woman
is said to be we'll known locally, but
nothing could be learned this after
noon as to the reason for the letter to
which she attributes her attempt at
suicide.

Holding an important caucus in
their chambers at the city hall, the
supervisors passed on the appropria-
tions for the different departments
yesterday, planning several important
changes in the disposition of the
county money for the next six months,
establishing new office in the
police force, increasing the allow
ance for Kappeilmeister Berger's
band, rather than diminishing it, as
had been feared, and voting to re-
store the appropriation for the promo
tion committee. The meeting began
at 10 O'Clock in the morning and did
not adjourn until after noon.
Many important and long-argued
matters were brought before the
caucus and finally disposition plans
made the Democrats carrying out
the policy Trey inaugurated when
they took cffiee. Though the spirit
of economy ruled, and applications for
increase Of wages were voted down,
the appropriations during the coming
semiannual period will be in excess
of former ones.
The entire budget was settled yes
terday, except mat portion relating
to permanent paving and street grad
ing, which was deferred until the next
meeting. More money is asked for
this work than was granted during
the last period. and fight over it
may be the result. One or two of the
city fathers are opposed to increas-
ing the amount of money for this

ing the Louisiana contingent. All
newspaper men connected with either
faction were also closely observed.
The plan was to discover how all
these men lived, how much money
they expended, their sources of in
come, their acquaintanees and con-
nections and their probable remit
tances based on their methods of liv-
ing.
The net result of this experiment
was disappointing to Mr.. Lowrey and
the sugar trust. Not one of the 10
detectives imported from New York
ever discovered that any of the men
under surveillance was living at the
top of the pot or appeared to be lug
ging around more money than he had
honestly earned. This was also true
of the newspaper correspondents who
We're taking the anti-free sugar end
of the controversy. They appeared
to be consistently riding street cars
and grabbing an occasional sandwich
in the dairy lunchrooms.
When it became evident that the
flood of funds pouring in from Ha-
waii and Louisiana was a myth the
Burns men were speedily withdrawn.

WASHINGTON. d. c., June L.
1.-TWO items in the tariff bill are set
tied beyond change or dispute. These
snre free sugar and free wool. All the
others are subject to increase or mod
ification but there need be no further
argument regarding sugar and wool. !"
This was the emphatic statement
made by Senator Simmons. chairman
Of the finance committee, to the Star
Bulletin correspondent. He said the
subcommittee having these sched-
ules in charge had concluded their
hearings and agreed to recommend
free sugar and wool. Their views, he
said, would undoubtedly be accepted
by the majority members Of the COM
mfttee.
This leaves the fate of sugar EN-
tirely to the senate. Unless four
Democrats are found willing to desert
their party associates and vote with
the Republicans free sugar will re-
main in the Underwood bill as passed
by the house. Up to this time Senat-
crs Thornton and Ransdell,.- of Louis
