' . ; ; : EXTRACTS FROM ATTORNEY WlGKERSHAirS REPORT TO TAFT Washington. "Of unparalleled de pravity," is how Attorney General -Wickersham in his annual report, just made public, describes the sugar trust's frauds upon the government at the port of ew York. Speaking of the Investigations made and of their results so far, the attorney general says: "The evidence has disclosed a network of corrup tion, not confined to the American Sugar Refining company, extending over a period of years, affecting both importers and officers of the govern ment, and it is as yet premature to state the precise extent of the con spiracy or the amount of the revenues of which the government has been defrauded. While it 13 feared that the statute of limitations may have run in favor of many of the malefac tors who are responsible for these frauds, yet no effort will be spared to ascertain the precise amount due, and to punish al those who may be found to have participated In any re ppect in the frauds, whether as offi cers or agents of the importers or as officials of the government. I earnestly request a special appropria tion of $50,000 to enable this work to be effectively prosecuted." Besides thus ind'catrng that the government hopes yet to recover more money from the sugar trust, beyond the $2,000,000 already received, the attorney general lays stress upon the fact that in accepting that sum in full settlement of all civil limitations for penalties affecting the weighing of sugar at the Jersey City and Brook lyn refineries of the trust, the gov ernment expressively reserved the right to prosecute criminally "all in dividuals who might be shown to have been responsible for the frauds, wherever occurring, even If such in dividuals were officers of the com pany." The investigation into the crimi nal liability of participants in the frauds is being vigorously pushed and a number of Individuals have been indicted. lU-oomniends Immunity Statute. Probably having in mind 'certain things that came up in the eiiHtoms injuiry the attorney general recom mends: "For the purpose of meeting the conditions which arise in the endeav or to procure testimony for the gov ernment, a general immunity statute should be enacted.

Y. that called for the enactment of the special immunity statutes as to pro ceedings under the Interstate com merce laws, apply with equal force to criminal prosecutions generally. The United States should have the power to compel incriminating disclosures by giving a compensatory immunity in all cases where individuals stand I between crime and its detection and I punishment. Such statute should be I applicable only to protect a witness summoned in a proceeding on behalf I of the United States from th conse I quences of testimony which he is I compelled to give in that proceed I ing." I He also recommends the repeal of ' Section 860 of the revised statutes i which, intended by congress to enable ! prosecutors to give immunity to wit- nesses compelled to testify against ' themselves, has been held by the su I preme court not to be a substitute I for the constitutional guaranty against I .eIf-crimination. "As a result." the report says, "it Is ! availed of constantly by criminals to ' prevent the government from using I against them any testimony given by I them at any time in any proceeding. I So far as I am aware, no statute in ! any of the states protects a man who j la charged with a crime from having used against him In a criminal pro ! ceeding testimony given by him in a i civil suit. The United States attor ! ney for the southern district of New I York informs me that ,t is an every j day occurrence in bankruptcy cases ! for bankrupts and their witnesses to testify before special examiners, ref I erueH, etc., often falsely, and then, when ind.cted for some orrense un der the bankruptcy act, to appear in court and testify in direct contradic tion of what they may have deposited in the proceedings before the referee or examiner; but the government is prevented from using such testimony against them." ! An Unsatisfactory PecMoiui. I The attorney general makes it clear that the government is not satlsrieil with the -decision of the supreme court in the so-called commodities clause case, and he Intends to bring certain phases of that law again to tv,,. nitpntinn of the courts. In this i connection he fays: I "The pinion does not necessarily ! determine the application of the stat j uto to cases where the commodities transported are owned by a corpora tion, all or substantially all, of whose stock la owned by the. carrier corpor ation at the time of transportation, and especially where the carrier shall have transferred all of Its Interest in such commodities to a corporation formed for the- express purpose of evading the prohibition of tho com modities clause, and all or substanti ally all of the stock In which is own ed by the carrier. These .questions, will be presented for determination in the courts. If the prohibition of the statute can be successfully evad ed by the simple device of transfer of ownership of the property to a corporation, all of whose Btock shall be owned or controlled by the car rier, congress should amend the stat ute bo as to make It an effectual and not a merely Illusory prohibition, .or else repeal it." Other Recommendations. Legislation is recommended to fa cilitate the removal of persons In dicted for crime in one district of the United States Into that district from the one in which he may happen to be apprehended. Recent thefts from the Brooklyn navy yard suggest that all committing magistrates should be authorized to issue search warrants when stolen property of the govern ment is believed to be concealed. The attorney general earnestly asks for an increase in the salaries of fed eral judges, and that they should be allowed expenses of travel and sub sistence when they are holding court at places away from their homes al though In their own districts. An ad ditional circuit judge in the fourth Judicial circuit is said to be needed badly. The report shows that fines were collected from railroads In rebate cases during the last fiscal year to the amount of $320,600. Of this amount $136,000 came from the New York Central. In the prosecution of land frauds 315,211 acres of land were recovered and $311,704 in cash penalties. After referring to tho Standard Oil the tobacco trust and the powder trust cases and the prosecution against the Terminal association of St. Louis, which are all now, or will bo soon, before the supremo court, the attorney general announces: "Tho department Is now engaged in the careful Investigation of a considerable number of alleged combinations In violation of the (anti-trust) act."
