far as its views could be reflected by

Currency, was about evenly divided on
the issue Of asset currency.
It was further stated that Secretary

Concerning his statement that the

had been consulted about data, but
did not procure the publication OF the
document Senator Walsh wanted to
know IL various charts were not pre-
pared which Senator Lodge did not
use In his sugar speech.
Seeks Details of Books.
Senator Reed asked in detail about
destruction of the books of the Amer

sought to show there was dishonest
purpose in it. This Mr.. oxnard would
not admit.

(Continued from First Page.)
Oxnard's extremely frank avowal that
the books were burned or otherwise de-
stroyed and no books kept now.
Mr.. Oxnard, whose grilling began
Saturday and, was continued today,
managed to get in considerable argu-
ment against free sugar in the midst
of his testimony, despite the fact
the committee tried to keep him pin
ned down to a strict answer Of the
questions.
History of Sugar Trust.
Wandering much away from the lob
by inquiry. Senator Reed took Mr..
Oxnard back over the history of the
organization of the Sugar trust, in
which Mr.. Oxnard was interested. 1t
was while engaged in telling Of this
that Mr.. Oxnard told of the conse-
quences Of free sugar.

that II the duties on sugar are reduc-
ed as provided in this bill the result
will be the organization OF the big
gest trust in domestic sugar that was
ever organized in this country.
business because there is a profit in it.
You bring 1t down to point where
there Is no profit, where only few OF
the strongest concerns can survive,
aren't you going to bring about exact
ly the same conditions that brought
about the formation of the Steel trust
and the formation of the Sugar trust ??
And you'd 60 into the trust again, I
suppose" said Senator Reed.
Considering 1t Now.
ct haven't the slightest doubt Of 1t. I
have 1t in mind now"
whereupon Senator Reed asked Mr..
oxnard II he would deliberately violate
the criminal laws of the United States
In that fashion. Mr.. Oxnard protested
he did not intend to violate the law, but
had been told by counsel that IL less
than half, say 40 per cent Of the In
dustry was controlled. such control
would not be in violation Of the Sher:
man law.
you must have a high-priced lawyer
to give you such an opinion as that,
Henry T. Oxnard resumed his testi-
mnoy at 1880. Before he resumed he
was admonished by the chairman. on
sugzestipn of Senator Cummins, to con-
fine his statements simply &c answers to
questicrs, and not to digress and thus
waste time.
Mr. Oxnard said he had not expended
a half million dollars himself in the
last twenty years: that is, 1t was not
his own money.
"I didn't spend my own money" said
he IT spent the money contributed by
the members of the American Beet
Sugar Association"
He reiterated that this was in round
numbers a half million dollars.
Mr.. Oxnard was then led through the
history Of the organization Of the old
