have no knowledge Of the ChroHi.
Gle article and remember no interview.
The facts are that at the request of
several senator's some months ago the
bureau Of corporations OF this depart
ment began an inquiry Into the beet
sugar industry in all its phases and is
now pursuing It. It. is rot an inquiry
into the cost Of production strictly so
called. though that will form feature
Eof II. The reason this distinction,
however, is made here is that the so-
called costof-production inquiries are
made, In separate bureau fthe bu-
reau OF foreign and domestic COM
merce1 and out of a separate appro-
priation and have a rather more re-
|stricted scope. The sugar beet in
quiry now going on takes into account
every element in the industry and not
merely the one factor of the cost of
production. 1t is not intended to have
any relation whatever to legislation,
pending or proposed, but is solely to
ascertain the facts regarding the in
dustry in it's different phases. The
field work will not be done for some
weeks yet and the report will probably
not be res dy until the latter part of
the fall.
There is no justification for any
statement made by anybody that as
a result of this inquiry 1t is contem-
plated to restore in whole or in part
any of the sugar duties. No action
of any nature is to be predicated on
the report until its contents shall be
fully known, and it's inception had
nothing to do with any suggestion as
to the restoration of duties. 1t is not
at all proper that anyone should be
encouraged either to buy or sell
stocks upon the pendency of an in.
quiry which is incomplete.
Yours very truly,
(Signed) WILLIAM G. REDFIELD,
Secretary.

Two Additional Stories to the

WASHINGTON, June I2.--Treasury
department officials finally have
thrown scme light or the federal
buildin proposition In Honolulu. A
final abandonment Of the Mahuka site
continues TO be indicated. The i'm
provement OF the present structure by
adding two stories will be temporary
Inakeshift until new building is
erected.
Assistant Secretary Newton, who
has charge OF such affairs, says the
present plan is to await action by
Congress en- the bill now pending ap-
propriating funds for the Honolulu
public building. Al new site will be
selected after the money Is available.
He said Mr.. Spreckles consulted him
recently regarding the purchase Of the
location offered on his behalf He did
not commit himself but merely sail
II was intended TO take the Spreckels
site or scme ether one winch could be
obtained on reasonable terms.
Il was explained by Mr.. Newton that
with action by Congress there would
be a total Of s1,S25,000 available for
the site and new fede.al building at
Honolulu. He believed the necessary
legislAtiun would be. enacted before
the adjournment OF the present ses-
sion.
In the meantime. according to As
sistant Secretary Newton it was de
sired 10 add two stories to the exist.
ing building. thus affording necessary
facilities until the new structure could
be completed. s
III seems TO be near possibility that
II the two stories are added to the
Old building Il VII Be plede 10 serve
Its present purpose Tor an indefinits
period. The outlay Of this money
would be construed BY members Of
Congress as wastefnl extravaganza uIl-
less utilized IN more than a temporary
manner
Beyond securing the probable aban-
donment OF the Mahuka site the report
OF Inspector Roberts seems to have ac-
compIished but little.

J. Oswald Lutted returned from the
coast this morning. He is enthnsias-
tic over the outlook for the stock
holders. claiming that his estimate
wirelessed ON June Z, being Of yield
OF 10000 barrels Of oil day, was
Substantially correct.
1t is impossible to be exact" Mr..
Lutted said to a Star-B Bulletin reporter,
but from 100 900 to 10000 barrels
daily would be abont the right
amount,
Asked what the stock was rated at,
he eeifi he met one man Wiling TO
sell 200 shares at s25. but nobody
else who would look at less than $50
a share.
Il believe that there should be diyi-
dends OF one dollar q share monthly

Is every reason to expect that the
gusher will run the same as that OF
Lakeview No. /, which continued If,
teen months and produced 10000, 900
barrels of oil.
"This is the biggest producer eyer

In by Lakeyiew No. is producing
1900 or 1900 barrels a day, but 1t is
not considered anything now.
+All attempts to cap the gusher
have been abandoned. 1t blew cut
the casing at the top and created a
crater eight feet wide. The only
thing LETT to do was to trap the flow.
This is being done by erecting a bulk
head around the well forty feet high,
which will confine the oil and act as
a cushion against the uprush. From
the bulkhead the oil will be partly
admitted 10 pipe lines direct and part
.ly carried to vast sump holes by
means of bitches. When the fow is

Just think of an oil creek from the
well, two and one-half miles away,
three feet wide and IA feet deep.
Great precautions have been taken
against fire. A wire fence has been
erected around the well, at a radius
of quarter of a mile from it, and
guard of 80 men placed outside.
Autos are not allowed within the en-
closure and smoking is strictly pro-
hibited there"
Various oil journals and other
newspapers received here tell Of the
works mentioned by MIR. Lutted, also
of clarifying pants being erected to
rid a portion of the product of the
gusher from impurities. One ac-
count states that oil requiring such
treatment will yield the company
from $4,000 to $4,000 daily after the
plants have been installed. None of
the reports gives as high an estimate
of the gross yield as Mr.. Lutted does,
but the lowest is from 1000 to 10000
barrels daily

 They separated that night and have nto lived together since. Mrs. Para centi admitted that she had received several letters from her husband since they have lived apart and that in sev- er9l of them he pleaded to be taken back.
 Other witnesses were put on the stand who testified that MT. Paracenti often visited at the Parker home.
 Testimony for the plaintiff was com pleted in the afternoon and the defend ants side will be heard at a later date.
 Suit Over a Note.
 When the Paracenti case had gone as far it could in the absence of the defendant, the court started the trial of the case of John T. Edmond against Warren Randall. The plain tiff is suing to recover $65O which is half the amount of note which was supposed to have been endorsed by both the plaintiff and defendant for the Eldredge Construction company.
 Recently in this city when the case was down for trial the defendant did not appear In court, and MT. Edmond was given judgment. At a short cal endar session in this city. on the mo- ton of Attorney George c. Morgan for the defendant, the case was reopen ed after the payment of costs on the previous case. and the case was set down for trial Wednesday.
 It is alleged that MT. Edmond and MT. Randall endorsed a note of S1.350 for the EIdredge Construction Co. The note went to protest and Mir. Edmond paid the full amount of the note to the bank Now he seeks to make MT Randall settle for half the amount The defendant claims, however, that he did not endorse the nete and that the signature was his.
 Several witnesses were introduced by the plaintiff. who then resJeG his case. and the defendant was on the stand when court adjourned for the day.

FORMER c. V. PRESIDENT
 SUGGESTED AS TRUSTEE.
E. H. Fitzhuoh Talked of for B. 6 Nj.
 Position.

Earl H. F'iJzhugh of New London, former president of the Central Yer mont railway and a former vice presi- dent of the Grand Trunk system, is being suggested for appointment as 8. trustee of the Boston and Maine rail- road. In railroad circles it is believed that his name has already been pre- sented to President Wilson.
 MT F'itzhGgh has been 40 years g. railroad man, and during the greater part of that time was a trusted chief assistant of the late Charles Nj. Hays. on the Wabash, Southern Pacific and the Grand Trunk railway systems.
 During the last dozen years of his labors as chief lieutenant of President Hays of the Grand Trunk railway he was assigned to the duty of developing the New England interests of the Grand Trunk system as vice president and later as president of the Central Vermont. He had personal charge of the prcliminaries pertaining to the projected Southern New England rail- way in Massachusetts and Rhode Isl- and. When in January of last year it became apparent that his efforts to force the completion of the road in fuIfillment of pledges to the people resigned his position as president of the Central Vermont railway and the presidency of the Southern New Eng land subsidiary organizations. Since that time he has been resting at his country home in New London.

AMATEUR PRESS CLUB
 RECEIVES NEW MEMBERS.
Would Have National Convention Held
 Here in 1915.

The Norwich Amateur Press club held meeting Tuesday evening. Feb. IT. at the home of the president. C. Benjamin Morgan.
 Kopland K. Markoff was admitted as a member and attended the meeting. Two new members were voted into the club Arlington Turner was elected club reporter.
 Several letters of congratulation have been received and were read by the president. These were mostly from other clubs in various cities that have received The Norwich Amateur, the official organ of the club.
 Several members were assigned top ics on which to write essays for the official organ. Club pins were voted on and will be bought soon-
 The president suggested that an at tempt be made to have the annual con vention of the United Amateur Press association held in this city in 1915. This convention is held in a different city each year, and it would undoubt- edly prove a great boost for the club if it could be held here. Every effort will be made to carry out this Sugges- ton.
 Refreshments were served and the meeting was then adjourned.
