Government Declines to Give Aid
l to Dealers Who Purchased Big
r Stocks of Sugar in Belief It
Would Go as High as 40 Cents
Washington, Aug. 21. The de
partment of justice today refused to
grant relief to sugar speculators who
have been caught in the slump of
prices. It was announced that these
speculators must absorb their losses
which have been brought about by
the failure of their plans to main
tain high retail prices in the face Of
a falling- market. . -
The dealers bought enormous stocks
of sugar, believing that they would be
able to run the retail price up to 30 or
40cents . a pound. .' This would I have
netted them enormous profits. But the
market fell so rapidly1 that sugar is
now retailing at IT cents. The dealers,
therefore, stand to lose hundreds of thou
sands of dollars on their transactions.
DEALERS MAKE APPEALS V
A flood ' of appeals has come ' to the
department from the dealers asking that
price-fixing machinery be employed to
save them from threatened losses. They
want- the retail price fixed at a figure
which will enable them to recoup part
of the money invested in sugar stocks
when the market was around 22c, whole
sale, as it was - when the Cuban sugar
crop was purchased. , i rl ;
John F. Crosby, special assistant of
Attorney General Palmer in charge of
activities against profiteering, declared
today that the sugar speculators can
expect no. relief from the department.
He said: j
"It is the business of the department
of justice to decrease prices, not to in
crease them. In the recent period, of
high sugar prices, many persons specu
lated shamelessly.' They will get .scant
sympathy now from the public, or' from
anyone else, if. instead of making gains,
they incur losses. . g
ABGEXTI3TE SUGAR . BOUGHT j
'"."The slump in sugar is ' perhaps
largely due to a huge shipment of
sugar bought by the government la
Argentina ...and recently- placed on ; the
market in this country.- - , v
Tt ; Is known to the .department that
present retail prices of sugar are cha
otic. . They range from ;17V to K Vh
cents.7 ' This condition will probably
right Itself when the people . learn
which are t the low-priced dealers.
"The fact that a man is charging
more than 17H cents for Sugar is not
prima facie evidence that he Is prof
iteering, for it may be .that he bought
the sugar at a '. high price. under the
Lever act it is ' a violation of the law
for a dealer, In sugar to make more
than ; 1 cent(- a r pound profit - If! any
who persist, in charging high prices for
sugar can be convicted of making jmore
thaii the legal margin w of profit, i they
Will pay . the penalty."

past there has been a steady : decline
in ' the . price of essential ; foodstuffs.

Orrville, Ohio, Aug. 21. (I. N. S.)
Asserting that Senator . Harding in
his recent defense ' of the United
States senate, "with characteristic
reactionary isolation from public
thought,", has failed to - distinguish
between an honorable' institution and
the "arrogant oligarchy which con
trols' it," Goverpor James M. Cox, in
a speech here today continued his
attack on "the ..senate ring," -which
he charged was responsible for Sen
ator Harding's selection at Chicago
and . would dictate to the Republican
candidate should he be elected to
the presidency. ' -HARDIXG
GROUP TARGET
"He completely strips , his discussion
of the personal equation, and elaborates
on the wisdom of our fathers in creat
ing two parts to the legislative branch
of . government, - the senate and . the
house," said Cox. speaking of Senator
Harding's statement in a recent "front
porch session." . , i . . ,
, "We have no quarrel with the consti
tution," he continued.; "What we are
talking about is the group of men who
are attempting to distort the function
of the senate." .
: The governor ' paid tribute to the
genius of our method of government,
with, the checks ..and restraints it Im
poses, but declared the original : Inten

in the public welfare and "not for: the

The robber was apparently seen by

SO SIGH OF STRUGGLE : '
There ,waa. no sign of a, struggle. A

that Thompson had fainted, they said.
The police were unable to get a clue
to the murderer Saturday. The de

was, was .telephoned to every policeman
on duty and a close lookout was kept
for any suspicious characters r 'f-r;
