DENIES CHARGE OF
BOARDING SUGAR

Stories to the effect that large
o,lan,itv Of sugar is being boarded
Inv John F. Turner, the local grocer, in
violation Of Hoover dictates, have been
ra,her freely circulated on the street
the past day or two. As is character
,stic o. rumors, each differed in detail
from almost every other, and nearly
every informant, it seemed, set the
amount of sugar which it was alleged
was concealed at different figure
Last evening, reporter asked Mr..
Turner if he wished to make any
statement regarding the rumors or the
charges they contained. Mr.. Turner
readily responded in substance as fol-
lows:
Last Friday night ! heard that I
had 40 barrels Of sugar stored in my
stable | said then that ] wished /
had one barrel | have also heard that
I had a carload on the track. How the
story started or who started it I do not
know. Last spring I heard a story to
the effect that 7 had 13 carloads Of
-four which I had bought AT a low
figure and on which. supposedly, | was
to make a big profit / suppose the
sugar story started in the same way.
Whoever started the story had no
grounds for so doing I have in my
possession a small quantity Of loaf
sugar and also of powdered sugar. and
a very little of the granulated-in all
not much in excess of 100 pounds. For
the past week I have been selling sugar
only TO my regular customers and only
two pounds to each
