POLICY IN SUGAR
SUITS STILL
UNSETTLED
Seymour Says Government
Has Not Determined on
Prosecutions.

To quiet widespread reports and
rumors as to the plans and inten
tons of the Government with re
spect to the prosecution Of the
members and directors Of the New
York Sugar Exchange, Acting At
torney General Seymour declared
in a formal statement late yester'
day that the Department Of JUS
tice had not yet decided whether
or not these men would be prose
cuted under the Federal criminal
statutes.
Seymour said there was mo
justification" for reports that such
a decision had been reached by Of
ficials in charge of the proceedings
brought against the sugar exchange
in the United States District Court
at New York under the Sherman
Antitrust Law and the Wilson
Tariff Act.
This case is for the purpose OF
getting an injunction to stop deal
ings in sugar in New York unless
the sellers actually possess the stock
which they contract to transfer.
Until this case 10 decided, Seymour
explained, there would be no de.
cision with regard to criminal
prosecutions. although the Govern.
ment 10 still investigating.
Seymour issued the following
statement.
THE question has been asked: rs
it true that the Department of JUS
tice has decided not to take criminal
action against the sugar dealers?
ut is not. No statement was in
tended to be made at the time the
injunction suit was filed about what
might be found proper to be done
under the criminal statutes, but a
direct question was then asked and
the fact was stated that the sub
ject of violations Of the criminal
laws was being carefully considered
by the department., and that Is still
true.
mo decision upon this branch OF
the investigation il likely to be
made until after the argument OF
the application for a preliminary
injunction. There is no justifica
ton for any statement either thai
criminal proceedings will or will
not be instituted"

ing the public to boycott sugar and
demanding action against the gam.

chases now will simply tend to raise

after sugar Is out of the hands Of
American sugar farmers and in the
hands Of refiners and gamblers"
Frank c. Lowry Of q. n. Atkins

THE worlds consumption of sugar
will undoubtedly be curtailed at pre-
vailing prices. and with the approach
Of September the new crops will be
available so that az we move on to
the fall months, the reduced con-
sumption on the one hand and the
increased supply on the other, should
