WASHINGTON, April 15. That
the sugar trust dominates the Re
publican party and officers of the
present administration are its pup
pets, was charged on the floor of the
house late Thursday by. Representa
tive Henry T. Rainey (Dem., HI.) in
a vituperative assault on Attorney
General Wiekersham, Henry W. Taft,
brother of the president; Repre
sentative Herbert Parsons, former
head of the Republican county com
mittee of New York, and a score of
other public men.
"Tho sugar trust is the most rot
ten and corrupt combine ever created
by the protective tariff system,"
Rainey asserted.
"Prominent stockholders and di
rectors of tho trust have succeeded,
through their control of the Repub
lican party in bringing about this
most delightful arrangement the attorney-general
was, until his ap
pointment, a sugar trust attorney,
familjar with the methods of the su
gar trust, exhibiting even now a re
markable sympathy for its officials
in their difficulties. The general
counsel for the sugar trust (James
M. Beck), is an ex-assistant attorney-general
of the United States,
loyal to the Republican party, famil
iar with the methods and with the
feeerets of the attorney-general's of--fice.
The brother of the president
of tho United States is one of the
nttornoys for the sugar trust. Ji E.
Parsons, the father of the ex-president
of tho New York county Repub
lican committeo, is under indictment
on account of his offense against the
city of Philadelphia. And the presi
dent of the United States has ad
vised against a congressional investi
.galion of tho sugar trust, for the
o-eason that it might prove embarras
sing. "In New York tho Republican
county central committeo is and has
been for some years a sugar trust
combination, getting its funds from
the sugar trust, looking to the sugar
trust attorneys for its presiding of
ficers. Tho nomination of. tho Re
publican candidate for the presi
, dctfoy in the last national campaign
was brought about first by tho activ
ities of the president of the United
States, at whose command 50,000
postoffice officials throughout the
country became active and tho en
tiro machinery of the Republican ad
ministration was sot to work to
bring about tho nomination of Mr.
Taft. Next in importance in tho
agencies contributing to his nomina
tion and election was the sugar trust
owned, sugar trust-controlled Repub
lican Nqw York central committeo. !
"To these groat influences, by
those groat agencies, the action of
the last Republican national conven
tion was dictated, The activities of
the New York county Republican
committee to bring about tho nomin
ation of President Taft commenced
almost ns soon as tho activities in
that direction of President Roose
velt. "Herbert Parsons is n sugar trust
attorney, is tho son ot John L. Par
sons, who organized the sugar trust,
who directed its crimo for years, and
who is now under indictment charged
with wreckiug the real estate com
pany of Philadelphia, and whoso
only hopo for cscapo seems to lie in
his right to interpose the bar of the
statute of limitations the same Par
sons who retained tho firm of Strong
& Cndwaladcr as sugar trust attor
neys, and who is now able to exer
cise oxer the ntlonioy-general of tho
United fetntes so nuuli ufluence."
Ka.nt.. referred to the dilemma
xvith xh'ch the trust fomui itself
confronted recently on account wf
tho attempt to xvreck tho Pennsyl
vania Sugar Refining company ami
the admitted thefts on tho Williams
burg xvlmrvcs. Out of the Philadel
phia troublo grew tho failure of tho
Real Estate company and the suicide
of Frank Hippie. He stated that
in this difficulty the tmst appealed
to. the law firm of Strong & Cadwal-
der of Aew lork "one of those mi
portnnt Now York City legal firms
to xvhich great corporations appeal
for aid when they propose to violnto
the laws of the land or wheu they
have violated tho laws of the land."
The Illinois representative named
the members of that firm', among
them George W. Wiekersham, second
senior member. Henry W. Taft xvas
fourth. He declared that wheu
Wiekersham was appointed attorney
general, lienry . Tan moved up
to number two place. Next he spe
cified by page in tho Federal Report
er, where tho name of Henry W. Taft
could be found, recorded as trust at
torney. Continuing, Rainey discussed At
torney-General Wickersham's denial
of the recent chnrges made by Rep
resentative Martin (Dem., Colo.) in
tho house, that he recoix-cd fees from
the sugar trust. He declared that
the statement was "read into tho
Record in x-iolntion of the rules of
the house," and sarcastically de
manded further information on tho
matter. "I submit," he said, "that
the attorney-general ought not to
seek to avoid ox-en the inactive con
nection with this infamous trust by
throwing the entire burden and the
disgrace of such connection upon the
brother of the president." .
