Clui A. Fpreckel. wn of th late Clau Sprwk rl. of California. and president of the Federal Sugar Reflnlnr Company of Tonker. declared hlmaelf of the pinion that the removal of or a blic reduction In the tariff on tun' would decrease the price of refined sugar In thla country two cents a pound. Without a tariff, he said, the cane and b-t sugar reflnerlea could com pete with the world and that" It would be the bent thing ponelble for Louisiana. Mr. Spreckel read Into the record official tatlstlc showing hat alnce the Sunr Truit wu formed the price of refined sugar had materially In creased. Trouble Are- Related. Interesting, too. was Mr. Spreckels testimony regarding the war between the Haremeyer-Searles Interests of the American Keflnlng Company and his father, and the trouble that he has had since bis opposition to the Ameri can company. In Philadelphia, before the trust got control of the Spreckels plant, he said, the machinery waa damaged by peo ple throwing things In It. This trouble ended when Havemeyer got control. "In Tonker we have had much trou ble. Mvstrrtous persons have frequent ly at night drained our liquid sugar out of the rats Into the sewers." he said. "On aaother occasion they put a dead rat" In each barrel of a big ' shipment of sugar that was about to go out. I suspected certain employes of doing this and discharged them without pay. 1 wanted them to sue. but they were afraid to. American Company Suspected. -Of rourse. I don't know that the American company had anything to ri with any of this, but they were the only ones who would be Interested In our not marketing the sugars." Kpreckela also testified that he had been unable to purchase sugars In Ioutalaaa. although he had offered more than the American. tpeaktng of the benefit Louisiana would get from a tariff cut. Mr. Sprck ela said: "The planters down there are anti quated, use ancient mthota and ma chinery and are not scientific farmers. The reduction In the tariff would wake them up and modernise them like It did Hawaii." II said that without a tariff the production of sugar would be vastly Increased, that the jam and Jelly Indus try could be taken awar from England and the chocolate production of this country could be vastly Increased. . Rooks to lie Produced. "Beet sugar can be mad for less than three cents a pound, and If you gn down to the American Sugar Refin ing Company offices I think they will find the records of the beet sugar com panies, which will show the cost of bet sugar production." The company's attorney promised to produce the record. The California refineries, said Sprock et, get th'lr raw sugar delivered at fan Francisco from Hawaii, at two and one-third cents a pound, while the New Tork reflnerle pay about four and three-eights cents a pound for the same product. H found It cost t cents the hundredweight to refine sugar, count ing all losses and deduction. Then before the refiner can place a price on the product to the broker and Jobber he must add the cost of maintaining the plant. dpreclaton and Interest on the Investment. In the afternoon the discussion of the tariff on sugar occupied much time. Wits Are Mata-hed. When Representative Hinds under took to question Mr. Ppreckel. the ex amination became a matching of wit between the adherents of the high pro. tertlve tariff and the low or "approxi mate free trade" tariff. Spreckels held for the low tariff, particularly as It relates to sugar and other food neces sities. Telling of the end of the war be tween Havemeyer and Claus Spreckels. a fierce contest lasting from 1S to KM. Mr. Sprerkels said: After much parleying. John E. Fearles, secretary and treasurer of the American Company went to California to negotiate with my father. The re sult was that the Western Refining Company was formed, embracing the Amerlran and Spreckels Interest In a tVOOSOOA corporation. The American took II S: J. in the capital stock and 1 delivered It to II. O. Havemeyer. The nlr K. Havemeyer and John Searlea In New Tork. They told me they were the purchaser and not the American.

"Sl months later the Havemeyer aad Varies, with my father, sold the total capital stock of the Western Company to the American for )IC.i0.- In preferred stock. Of this, my father received IV.00 end the Havemeyer and Searlea got the same for their" interest, for which they had paid my father ll.IJJ.OOO. "They alsot In the settlement of the war. acquired a 4S per cent Interest In the i.. Spreckels Philadelphia plant. "My quarrel with them started when they wanted to limit the output of the Philadelphia plant. Their Idea was to reduce the amount of production aad thus force up the price. My plan was to increase the output and decrease the prtce." Spreckels told bow he wa kept from purchasing Hawaiian sugar for hi Tonkers refinery. "The planters there have an associa tion." he explained, "which markets sll their products. I have been un able to buy any of It. although I have ofTered t pay them more for It than aay on le. They sell all output practically to the California-Hawaiian Refining Company, of which If. X Havemeyer owned a large Interest. He kert the Hawaiian sugar from. me." I.tae Srse-- rw fce ma ta test f.

Sober people do not share these wild apprehensions, but undoubtedly there Is considerable uneasines and the situ ation la perilous and critical. The tropical weather la now the most potent factor in London life. Every body Is too exhausted to work. The season Is hurrying fast to it close and the prospect Is that soon only the poli ticians will be left within London. On of the constant mysteries of those outside of public life Is the obsti nacy with which politicians continue to carry on a fight which they know and everybody knows to be hopeless. It I partly due to that Indestructible hope of human nature that something will turn up; that happy confidence In the chapter of accident which is at the bottom of the mind of every poli tician. This Is not without reason, for the chapter of accidents la always play ing strange freaks In political life. A situation may be changed In a day, la an hour. In a moment, and even the most powerful cause and the strongest administration may go down on the very evening of the day when It ap peared able to conquer the fate. This I perhp the reason why the members of the House of Lords have continued their light against the veto hill with such apparently blind and stupid obstinacy. Nlgth .after night they have prepared and carried amend ment to the veto bill. In spite of tuclr ANGRY knowledge of - the fact' that these amendments have not the slightest chance of being accepted.

Split Ranks; Inquiry Be comes Fiasco. SECRETARY IS UPBRAIDED Rome Allcjred Conservationists Browbeating- Fisher for His Frank Declaration That He Saw Noth ing; Wrong; in Claims. OREOONIAN NEWS BUREAI Wash ington. July 12. The Controller Bay in vestigation has apparently "blown up." The committee has adjourned the sub ject to the call of Chairman Graham. All the principal witnesses. Including "Dick" Ryan, Ashmun Brown and Miss Abbott, have been discharged, with the understanding that they "may be re called later," and the muckrakera who Instituted this Investigation are au thority for the statement that the committee will not resume hearing "before October." They also assert that when the com mittee meets again it will treat the Controller Bay affair as a mere Inci dent to a greater and broader investi gation than was originally intended, one which they advertise as being "loaded with more dynamite than the Cunningham case." These muckrakers are also authority for the statement that Miss Abbott never will be called as a witness in the Controller Bay case. Brandels Privately Paid. It wa learned from Chairman Gra ham today that Attorney Brandels. who. Is to act as counsel for the committee when It reassembles, is not to be paid by Congress, but Is to derive his com pensation from "outside parties." Their Identity Graham would not disclose. A Washington dispatch to the New York Tribune, discussing the collapse of the Controller Bay fiasco, says: "There are a couple of reasons and a feigned one for the cessation of activ ity and the explosion of the fake. "Despite the secrecy with which President Taft has endeavored to guard his answer to the Controller Bay charges, supplying information called for In the Poindexter resolution, it is apparent that the House committee obtained intimation of the conclusive ness of the President's refutation of the fake story concerning the alleged Controller Bay grab. The committee suddenly developed an aggravated case of 'cold feet." "Those who have watched the des perate efforts of the committee to bol ster up the fake 'Dick to Dick' post script can best explain the explosion. The Incentive for the sudden abandon ment of the Investigation doubtless is Secretary Fisher's general but effective hint that the department stands ready to prosecute for perjury any witness who swears falsely In ,an Inquiry. It has been apparent for' days tliat the committee could not substantiate un der oath the reckless charge made. Graham Meet His Match. "Still another reason for abandon ment is the appointment of Represen tative' Burke to the committee, in which, keen and alert statesman Chairman Graham, found more than his match. "Of course, the growing Indisposition of Miss M. F. Abbott, the 'star witness.' to smear to the accusation she has made, embarrassed the committee and prompted It Democratic manipulators to halt proceedings for a while." ALLEGED FAKE SALE HALTS Ta co m a More Proprietor Arrested for Working "Death Ung." TACOMA. July 2!. Accused of ob taining money under false pretense by promoting a fake administrator's aale following the Imaginary death of a fictitious owner. John Doe Moore, manager ef a Pacific-avenue clothing store, waa arrested today. During the past few days a huge bunch of crepe hung on the front door of the store in memory of a Mr. Me Gulre, the supposed deceased owner. In the front window was placed a large sign announcing an administra tor's sale at 9 o'clock, when a big crowd collected. The place was form erly known as the Helnemann store and la now owned by John Dans, of Seattle, according to the complaint. A few days ago this announcement appeared on the door: "Owing to the death of Mr. McGuire. this store will be closed for a few days." . When the alleged Mr. McGuire be came the reputed owner of the store a few weeks ago, a fake interview with him appeared In the papers, to the ef fect that he liked Tacoma. Later it was reported he had died and a notice of his death is said to have appeared In a Seattle paper. The store was packed today and Deputy Prosecuting Attorney Bunnelster threatened to ar rest every employe If It was not closed Immediately. The warrant was Issued after Ira Baird. of the Northwest Mer cantile Association, had complained to Bnrmelster that the administrator's sale was a fraud.

Blame for re tarding progrres in Alaska I divided between "Kreat captains" and Con gressmen who refuse to enact laws to enable reasonable development, by Colonel Roosevelt In an article in the Outlook, Issued today. The Colonel says the "great captains" in question "wished to develop Alaska by making enormous fortunes for themselves out side of and in defiance of laws." and that the offending- members of Con gress "under pretense of hostility to the corporations, decline to permit the passage of legislation which will en able them to do their work honestly and to develop the coal fields with a fair protit to themselves while doing justice to others." Referring specifically to the Con troller Bay case, Mr. Roosevelt sayB: "In this connection, I wish also to call attention to the essential fact as regards the Controller Bay situation. Controller Bay, under actual conditions, offers the only chance, or at any rate, very much the best chance for a free outlet from the great Bering River coalfields. It was the imperative duty of the Government service to keep this outlet free and not to dispose of It to anv Individual or Individuals.

"Unfortunately, the Interior Depart ment last October eliminated from the Government reserves not only the 3".!0 acres, the elimination of which was mistakenly recommended by the Agri cultural Department, but 12,800 acres. "Whether there was or-was not im propriety in the way in which the elimination was brought about, or whether or not there was impropriety in the action which resulted in the in stant filing of claims by Mr. Ryan and others, does not go to the root of the matter. "The root of the matter Is that no such elimination should have been made by the Interior Department. The public interest demanded that this land should be kept under public control, and that to prevent monopoly its use should be permitted only under such conditions as the public need required. "Remember always, that such action would not have hindered development; it would have favored development, for it would have enabled any honest cor poration to come in and do its part in developing the country without fear of being crowded out by some other cor poration which, through unwise Gov ernment action, might obtain a monop olistic right.

It makes the two pier teeth do the work of support ing ALL, those that are fastened to the bridge, which is wrong. If the wearer of this bridge bites on the bridge teeth he puts a terrific strain on the two piers, causing them to be come loose in time and the gums to be come sore and inflamed, and In the end OUT COMES THE BRIDGE. It is a painful piece of work from be ginning to end. Then again, it is unsanitary. Being higher in the middle than at either end, it permits food becoming lodged under it, which soon causes fermentation to set in, bringing more inflammation. Bridgework is as much a makeshift a the partial plate. The -bridge won't do. Alveolar Teeth Where Bridgework Is ImpoMMlble. If only your front teeth are left, say 3 or 4 or more, we can replace all those that have been lost on both sides clear back with perfect Alveolar teeth, whilst bridgework would be impossible even if you had 8 or 10 front teeth to tie to. If you have only two back teeth on each side, say molars, we can supply all the front teeth that are missing with beau tiful serviceable, lifelike Alveolar teeth.

The bridge specialist would have to advise a partial plate which would encumber the mouth as well as to help to destroy your other teeth. Where you have lost a few teeth there are dentists who would extract all the rest to make room for a plate. (Where people have no teeth, we make plates, too. And when we do they look like they grew there. They are scientifically and artistically built for service and comfort as well as beautv.) Even where bridgework Is possible, there is no comparison between the two. A very large percentage of our work is taking out bridgework put in by supposedly high - class dentists and replacing it with the beautiful and artistic Alveolar Teeth. And, unuke bridgework in another respect, it is practically painless. No boring or cut- ' ting into the gums, nothing to be dreaded. Now, then, prices being equal, which would you choose? Cnrlng Pyorrhea (loose teeth), a dis ease given up by other dentists as In curable, is nother of our specialties. We cure it absolutely. It's a boastful statement to make, but we can do any thing that is possible in dentistry, and what we do Is always of the very high est class. Our booklets. Alveolar Den tistry, are free.
