SPRECKELS SAYS
ROLPH'SFR|ENDS
ARE Benefited

| WASHINGTON, Dec. 17.-Ehorts OF
the food administration to bring out
| before the senate investigating COM
mittee its side of the story Of Cuban
raw sugar contracts were blocked to-
! dav by an announcement that the
state department deemed it inadvis'
a BILE to discuss further the negotiu-
tons which resulted in these con-
tracts.
Hoever's Request Ignored
The committee. toward the end OF
today's session. had agreed to permit
I-indley TO suggest questions, after
ignoring earlier request by Food
Administrator Hoover that he be
given an opportunity to make a
statement in reply to Spreckels at
tacks When the committee. after an
hours executive session. during
which he waited in an anteroom. re-
called Sprecke!s to the stand without
answering his request, Hoover left
the building.
Tonight the food administrator went
to the White House and laid the sit
uation befort the President He would
not discuss the visit
Lindley insisted that the commit
tee allow him to try to controvert
statements OF the witness Finally,
however, he said:
III We cannot explain the contracts
for the Cuban crop We are placed on
pillory while trying to solve very
difficult situation"
Spreckels, who is president of the
Federal Sugar Refining Company. had
charged that the Califernia-HaWaiian
Sugar Refining Company, OF which
George E. Rolph, director of the food
sugar division. is
president. would gain $9,000,0oO addt-
tional revenue this year indirectly
the price fixed for the Cuban
crop. which. he declared, was entirely
too high The Hawaiian price, he said,
was based on the Cuban price.
Changes His Mind
Through questioning Of Spreckels |
by J. E. Freeman, counsel for Earl A. |
Babst, president of the American Su.
gar Refining Company, it was brought |
out that the Federal president did not |

 NEXT CONTENDER
Appears 10 Be Dangerous Rival For
 Je3s' Title.
Exit Jess Willard :

Exit Jess Willard?
 That seems to be the order of the day in pusilistic circles. His retire men as worlds champion, as well as d national celebrity, is not only being anticipated but hastened.
 Carl Morris the Irish Cherokee In- dian from Oklahoma, is looming up strongly as Wiilard's successor. He has advanced himself in Fistiana 10 the point where he is amply justified and qualified to dispute Willard's right to the championship After years of apparent torlorn effort he has finally come through and prov cd himself to be ono logical opponent eXtant for Willard in a titular match. In view of his recent conquests there is none to deny hin. this match. He must be rated right next to the con querer of Jack Johnson. He Is the runner-up in the heavyeight class.
 Nor is that all. Not only does Nor ris promise to supplant Willard as the champion in their division. but he also threatens to oust him from his berth with the circus. Willard closes with the three-ring show on June 16- The reason is not known. Morris has been asked to take his place.
 Just before Morris entered the ring in Now York, Monday night, to battle Frank Moran he received a lengthy telegram from Ed Arlington, manager

SATURDAYS MARKET
Trading Was Active After an Irresu-

New York. June 9.-Trading was active for both accounts today after began with brisk Inquiry for motor shares and soon extended to the gen eral list.
 General Motors gained almost : points. Studebaker over f. and others of that division 1 1-2 to 1-2 points. The movement seemed to have been made largely at the expense of an over confident short interest.
 Other striking features of the short session were Industrial Alcohol which rose almost 4 points to ITO 3-4, a new high record. Dfstillers' Securities, a related issue, meanwhile rising four points to 25 34.
 Steel shares were mainly represent ed by Lackawanna and Crucible, fNe former gaining about points on ex- tensiVe accumulation. U. s. Steel was under moderate pressure, closing at 131 7-S, unchanged from the prev.Sus day, after having gained almost a point.
 The steel tonnage statement for May showed a decrease of almost 100000 tons from the high water mark estab- !ished the previous month, but the volume of thrilled orders was sufh- ciently large to indicate that the mills of the corporation still are taxed to capacity.
 Central Leather. shippings, copper anl zinc shares. oils and sugars regis
 
 Rails came forward in the later deal ings. St. Paul, Reading and New Ha ven gaining 1 to 1 12 points. Final prices were from 1 to 4 points under highest quotations, Alcohol closing at q slight net loss Total sales amount cd to 450,00O shares.
 The bank statement again reflected the enormous shifting of local moneys in connection with the Liberty Loan. Actual reserves in banks own vaults were reduced by almost $90, 900, 900, the federal reserve bank at the same time showing an increase from this source of slightly over S61, 900, 900. Ex cess reserves contracted about s2S, 900 900, a decrease of almost S10S, 100000 in the past fortnight. Actual loans expanded by more than S95,- GOO. 900.
 An advance of 1 1-2 points in Lack awanna Steel 5's of 1850 featured the broader bond market. Total shares (par yalue) aggregated $1,157 ,000
 U. s. bonds were down IA to 1-2 per cent on call for the week.
