WASHINGTON, ID. c., June L..
1.-TWO items In the tariff bill are set
tied beyond change or dispute. These
are free sugar and free wool. ALI the
others are subject to increase or mod
ifieatlon but there need be no further
srgument 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-
tiles, i'm 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
Ihittee.
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
lana. are the only two Democrats
who have positively announced an

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have been withdrawn and peace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 Lon
isiana were deluging this burg with

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
q bunch of his gumshoe artists. In
response nineteen sleuths were ship
ped over from New York and began
working keyiloles and transoms.
The Burns men shadowed Sidney

FRATERNAL SOCIETIES
HONOR DEAD BROTHERS

Members Of the local lodges Of Inds-
pendent Order of Odd Fellows and
Knights OF Pythias turned out in full
force yesterday in observance Of spe-
cial memorial services IN honor Of
those members who have passed away.
According to the codes OF the organi-
cations, the services were not includ-
ed In joint program, each order cele-
brating separately. Following servi-
ces in their respective assembly halls,
the members of the organizations
then visited the various cemeteries
throughout the city where their dead
comrades lie buried. banking each
grave high with flowers.
The members Of the three lodges
of the Knights of Pythias were pres
ent at the First Methodist Church last
evening, at which time special SER
vice was held. The address OF the
evening was delivered by Rev. r. El-
mer Smith. following which the roll
call Of the dead was read and pray
ers offered in their memory.

ing the Louisiana contingent. ALI
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 acquaintances and con-
nections and their probable remit
tanees based on their methods of liv-
ing.
The net result of this experiment
was disappointing to Mr.. Lowrey and
the sugar trust. Not Ione of the 19
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 antifree 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.

intention of cooperating with the Re-
publicans.
Senators Smith, of Arizona, Pit
man, Newlands, Thompson, Shafroth
and Walsh have grumbled a great
deal and made threats. They refuse
to openly declare their separation
from the Democratic party and affili-
alton with the Republicans. They
continue to be deluged with protests
from their constituents at home I'M
ploring them to vote against free SUI
gar. Some of them say this senti-
ment is manufactured and inspi
by the beet sugar men. Others re-
gard it as genuine and think the beet
growers will be forced out of bust
ness by the placing of sugar on the
free list. They feel inclined to aid
their people, but are terrorized by the
fear of being ostracized by their par
ty associates.
The possible loss of patronage Is

In addition, all those here, repre-

torts were being made TO secure
changes. Senator Thornton took the

In speaking for the Hawaiian
producers of sugar Ex-Governor George

from letter written by Richard L. Hal

missioner-general of immigration.
The end of the now-famous Keefe
report is not yet.
When that report, buried two years
ago, was resurrected and handed to
congress in a printed form, it con-
tanned ID in the rear of a 50-page
pamphlet, letter from Inspector Hall
sey of the local immigration station,
extracts from which are printed
above, (2) a letter from Commission

Keefe addressed to the secretary of
the department of labor. and 90 a
letter from Ignacio de Arana, consul
for Spain here, addressed to President

Planters Association
Inspector Halseys report is dated
April 3, 1913, Commissioner Keefe's
letter is dated April 18, 1913. Consul
de Arana's letter is dated October IL,
1912.
The bulk of the document is taken
up with the report made on January
25, 1911, by Commissioner Keefe, fol-
lowing a visit he made to Hawaii in
December of the previous year. This
report, though never officially printed
until now, was made public by Keefe
it was understood, shortly af-
ter he wrote it. At that time, the re-
port was declared so biased and mac
curate as to be worthless, and Charles
Nagel, then secretary of commerce and
labor, pigeon-holed it.
The report remained in the pigeon
hole until a few weeks ago. During
the early stages of the sugar tariff
fight, the report was called for by
John E. Raker of Cali
fornia, who told the house of repre-
sentatives, during the course of de-
bate, that the report carried valuable
