REFUSED
To HEAR APPEAL,
DELEGATE SAYS
Square Deal Denied to Ha-

Former Governor of
Islands
PRESIDENT, HE SAID,
WAS DISCOURTEOUS.
Advocate of Sugar Tariff Re
sents Being Taken for
"Insidious Lobbyist"

1ncensed at what he termed the out
rageous" treatment accorded him in
Washington by President Wilson and
various senators before whom he ap-
peared to plead for the preservation of
the sS2o00,000 sugar industry of the
Hawaiian islands. G. r. Carter, former
governor of Hawaii, arrived in San
Francisco yesterday.
Mr.. Carter, at the ST. Francis last
night. did not mince words in telling of
his experiences in the nations capital.
He accused President Wilson of dis
courtesy, saying that the chief execu-
tive was not open to suggestions from
humble citizens OF the senators he
said:
That Senator John Sharp Williams
laughed at him when he sought to show
how the sugar industry of Hawaii would
commodity
That Senator Gore of Oklahoma ad-
vised that he bring his complaint to
Washington after the tariff bill had
been passed by congress-
That Senator O'Gorman of New York
advised him not to tell of his expe-
riences, as it would '.be an inexcusabIe
discourtesy"
RAN FOUL OF-LOBBY PROBE
Il was followed by detectives during
my stay IN the capital. said Mr.. Carter,
and finally I was accused OF being an
insidious lobbyist was hauled up be-
fore the senate investigating committee
and grilled for three hours and half
by criminal lawyer. All because I
went as the emissary of Hawaiian citi-
our situation would be if congress took
the duty off sugar
Never did / imagine that we of the
islands would have TO fight the sugar
trust and its ally, the White House.
But that is just what it amounts to.
1t is common talk in Washington that
the majority of the democratic senators
are not in favor of taking the duty off
sugar We are with you people in
heart, but not in votes was the COM
patriots were regaled with.
Not less than half a dozen foremost
democratic senators told me that they
did not approve of the proposed sugar
tariff, but that they would vote as the
president wished them to-
SAYS WILSON BROKE ENGAGEMENT
Which means that the sugar indus
ny of Hawaii can not survive, because
when 20 per cent of the duty is taken
off we will be selling sugar for little
less than it costs US to manufacture
When free sugar is fact, as it will be
in three years. we will have to sell our
product for about s32 ton. 1t costs
us s57.12 ton to manufacture
Yet when we seek to show these
figures to the president he sends word
that his mind is absolutely made UP
and can not be changed / asked to
see him as a private citizen. He made
an appointment and then, after i was
accused Of being a lobbyist, he refused
to keep the appointment
Il hesitate to imagine the future of
the country when its head refuses to
listen to information of SO vital a ma
ture to SO many thousands of citizens
and wh.n its chief law makers declare
themselves amused at the ruination
of a great industry

which a year ago was bitterly hostile
to the court Is changed good

The Interstate Commission would ike
a commerce court for the sake of con-

But 1t wants to do its own law business
