Ainsworth Affair Basis of an
Investigation of the War
Department
Washington. Investigation of the
ar department Is regarded as cer
tain as the outgrowth of the differ
ences between the secretary of war
and General Wood and Major-Genernl
Ainsworth, which culminated In Ains
worth retirement after a threatened
court-martial.
Geueral Ainsworth was subpenaed
to appear before the house commit
tee on expenditures in the war de
partment. He was dint ted to pro
duce papers of the department relat
ing to the charges against Major R.
B. Ray, but members of the commit
tee. Including chairman Helm, admit
ted General Ainsworth would be
asked about many other things and
that the entire administration of the
war department would be probed.
In addition to this phase of the In
quiry, the house committee on mili
tary affairs will act on a resolution
Introduced by Representative Wat
kins, of Louisiana, calling upon the
secretary of war to produce all pa
pers, correspondence and orders hav
ing any bearing on the letter of Sec
retary of War Sttmson to General
Ainsworth setting forth the charges
of insubordination which led to bis
retirement
Sugar Trust Investigators Report
The sugar trust investigating com
mittee, after many weeks of open
hearings reported to the house that
sugar trust exists.
The committee estimates that 62.39
per cent of the sugar business la con
trolled by the combine.
As to the effect of the combine on
the cost of sugar to the consumer,
the committee expresses the belief
that monopoly keeps the price op, and
charges that since the organisation
of the American Sugar Refining Com
pany in 1891 It has violated the Sher
man law repeatedly.
The report states that the Louisi
ana canegrower is discriminated
against by an arbitrary ruling of the
trust, but that the Hawaiian planter
is independent Of the beet sugar
growers the report says:
"Your committee reports that the
evidence as taken does not disclose
combinations between the manufac
turers in the beet sugar industry that
have caused or had a tendency to
cause a decrease in the cost of sugar
beets."
"Wets" and "Drys" Argue
The "wets" and "drys" fought at the
Capitol over the question of prohibit
ing the shipment of liquor Into states
where its sale is barred. Mrs. Lillian
M. N. Stevens, of Maine, president of
the National Woman's Christian Tem
perance Union, appeared with the leg
islative representatives and the offi
cers of that organization, while a del
egation of German-American men and
women led by Representative Barth
oldt of Missouri, opposed the legis
lation. The hearing was before tbe
senate committee on the judiciary.
Arrest to Impress the Mexicans
The war department has decided
to deal drastically, with Lieutenant
Ben W. Fields, of the eighteenth in
fantry, who, in command of a squad
of American soldiers, made the mis
take of orosslng into Juarez, Mexico,
to El Paso, Tex., and nearly precipi
tated an international clash. Fields
has been arrested pending investiga
tion. While the war department is con
rinced that the mistake was due to
the unfamillarity of Fields and his
men with the fact that the trolley car
they boarded was to cross into Mexi
can territory as a part of this regular
trip, It Is desired that this fact be
thoroughly impressed on the Mexican
officials.
