ON THE TRAIL OF THE SUGAR
TRUST FRAUDS.

1t was on the advice OF my secretary,
William Loeb jr., afterward head Of the
New York Custom House, that the action
was taken which started the uncovering
Of the frauds perpetrated by the sugar
trust and other companies in connection
with the importing OF sugar. Loeb had
from time to time told me that he was
sure that there was fraud i'm connection
with the importations of the sugar trust
through the New York Custom House
Finally, some time toward the end of
1904, he informed me that Richard Parr
sampler at the New York Appraisers
Stores Whose duties took him almost
continually OH the docks in connection
with the sampl,ng of merchandise had
called on him. and had stated ,hat in his
belief the sugar companies were .defraud-
ing the government in the matter Of
weights, and had stated that if he could
be made an investigating officer of the
Treasury Department. he was confident

RECRUITING A LIBEL.

whimsical but rather sad smile:
From the stories that are told about
my love OF money and my disregard for
humanity you'd think | was some such
monster as the criminal of the anecdote.
"A Judge once said 10 a terrible GRIM
inal:
"'And you actually had the heart to
murder this poor man for matter OF

that he could show there was wrong
doing. Parr had been a former school
fellow OF Loeb in Albany, and Loeb be
Iieved him to be loyal. honest and efh-
Gent He thereupon laid the matter be-
fore me. and advised the appointment OF
Parr as special employee of the Treas
ury Department for the specific purpose
of investigating the alleged sugar frauds
| instructed the Treasury Department
accordingly. and was informed that there
wasno vacancy in the force OF special en-
ployes but that Parr would be given the
first place that opened up. Early IN the
spring of 1908 Parr came to Loeb again
and said that he had received addl-
tional information about the sugar frauds,
and was anxious TO begin tine investigation.
Loeb again discussed the matter with me-
and | notified the Treasury Department 10
appoint Parr Immediately. On June l.
1905, he received his appointment, and was
assigned TO the port Of Boston FOR the
purpose of gaining some experience as an
investigating officer. During the month he
was transferred to the Maine District.
with headquarters at Portland, where he
remained until March, 1901 During his
service in Maine he uncovered extensive
wool smuggling frauds. At the conclusion
of the wool case he appealed to Loeb 10
have him transferred TO New York, so
that he might undertake the investigation
Of the sugar underweighing frauds. / now
called the attention of Secretary Cortel-
you personally 10 the matter so that he
would be able to keep a check over any
subordnates who might try TO interfere
with Parr for the conspiracy was evil
IDENTIFY widespread, the wealth of the Of
tenders great, and the corruption in the
service far-reaching. while, moreover, as
always happens with respectable Of
tenders, there were many good men who
sincerely disbelieved In the possibility OF
corruption on the part OF men CT such
high financial standing. Parr was as
signed TO New York early in March, 1907
and at once began an active Investigation
OF the conditions existing on the sugar
docks

THE DISCOVERY OF THE LITTLE
STEEL SPRING..

This terminated in the discovery OF a
steel spring in one of the scales OF the
Hayemeyers & Elder docks in Brooklyn,
November 20, 1907, which enabled us to UNI
cover what were probably the most CO.
losssl frauds ever perpetrated in the Gus
toms service. From the beginning OF his
active work I'm the investigation of the
sugar frauds in March, 1907, 10 March T.
1909. Parr. from time to time, personally
reported to Loeb, at the White House. the
progress Of his investigations. and Loeb
I'm his turn kept me personally advised
On one occasion there was an attempt
made to shunt Parr off the investigation
and substitute another agent OF the Treas
ury. who was suspected Of having some
relations with the sugar companies under
investigation. but Parr reported the facts
TO Loeb. | sent for Secretary .Cortelyou
and Secretary Cortclyou promptly took
charge of the matter himself. putting
Parr back on the investigation.
During the investigation Parr was sub
jected to all sorts of harassments. includ-
ing an attempt To bride him. by Splitter

meyers & Elder Refinery. for which Spitz-
er was convicted and served term in
prison. Brzezinski. a special agent, who
was assisting Parr. was convicted OF per-
