(Cnlted Press Leased Wire.) Washington, May 1. The most scathing arraignment that the sugar trust has ever been subjected to on the floor of congress was delivered today by Senator Clay of Georgia, during the debate on the sugar schedule.' "Th sugar trust," he declared, "has constantly violated both the civil and criminal laws of our country. Instead of knocking at the door of congress seeking to increase its fortunes at the expense of the masses of the people, its officers ought to be serving long terms In our federal prlsonB. The trust has filched the treasury of the United States out of more than $10,000,000 of revenue. "The public press has announced that the sugar trust has paid Into the treas ury more than $2,000,000, of which large sum Its officers and agents had robbed the, treasury of the United States. Salt is now pending in New JersBy against this trust to recover $1,000,000 for reve nues due the government, and it is ad mltted by the officers of this company. Including its counsel, that this unprin cipled organization has robbed the American people of this vast sum, which they are now trying to compromise. Necessaries Taxed Xearlest. "Sugar is an important article of food dally consumed by dvery man, woman and child In the country. This being true, the people had the right to expect that the finance committee of the senate would treat H as a necessity and tax it accordingly: but. on the con trary, it has been singled out as a subject of attack equaled to 78 per cent of Its bond value. I have been confronted with facts and figures which show that this food product pays a tax of nearly 80 per cent, while many articles of luxury In thin country are taxed at much lower rates. "Why should we place a tax on sugar at nearly SO per cent and only 45 per cent on automobiles, 35 per cent on coatly furs, 10 per cent on diamonds and 50 per cent on expensive feathers and trimmed hats? "The American pupal- Refining com pany, commonly called theiusrar trust, lias repeatedly sold considerable quan tities of sugar for export at nearly two cents- per pound less than the price quotea in tne domestic market. The Thefts of the Trust. "The operations of the sugar trust with the government and the Indict ments now pending against the em ployes of the trust, demonstrate be yond question that those In control , of, this combine are criminate and have been criminals- since Its orcanlsatlon. The -defense that the officials have not neon connected with this underweleh Ing and smuggling; against the rovern- ment is not worthy of the consideration or any intelligent man. These em ployes drawing small salaries, working for wages, were directed by those hlah in utnority. i ne orrtcers or tne sugar trust were not even willing to make a reasonaoie aivioe wun tne employes who committed these crimes, giving inem eacn to per ween ror stealing, while such thefts brouaht to them and their associates on an average of more man zvv,uuv per rnontn. Congress th Trust's Berrast. "Dunne the last 12 years the Amerl can people have paid to the government sugar taxes aggregating $600,000,000. In the same time they have paid to the sugar trust, profits to the amount of $660,000,000. If raw and refined sugar were admitted free to this country the tobi io me consumer wouja DO reduced nearly onelialf. "The senate finance committee has granted the trust all the favors des red without a hearing, and so has the ways and. means committee of the house. We were called in special session to make a suDStanuai revision of the tariff, and here is one Item that cost tha American people nearly $206,000,000 a year and there has not been given to this Item the Bu?ntest aivention.- Such a revision of the tariff is sham and a humbug. Nominations Confirmed. (United Pre Leased W!re. Washington. May 19. The senate has conrirmed the roliowing nominations: Lieutenant Commander Hutch I.

Thomas, chairman of the Democratic city central committee, con tends that any one who signs the pe tition of either H. R. Albee or Dan Kellaer in support of their independent candidacies for mayor, will 'be propor tionately responsible for the election of Simon, should Simon be successful In June. In outlining this opinion Mr. Thomas has issued the following state ment: "At this writing Albee and Kellaher are not officially oandldates and can not enter the race for mayor unless petitioned to do so. Therefore every signer of their petitions assumes a share of the responsibility for dividing the opposition to Joseph Simon, and should Mr. Simon be elected, will be partly to blame for such results. .
