50. RARE JUNE WEATHER! fiiisicisiiiiiiifiii mi nf V. O. I) KM OCR AT IB 111 II The Dock Board to Refuse Settlement. Letters Head Showing Purchase of an Inferior Grade.

Attorney Wilkinson Tells of His InvestigationEngineer Bell Denies Accepting Deliveries. Letters chewing tbat the Acme Lumber Company, lumber contractors for the Dock Board, ordered and purchased inferior grade lumber for delivery on the docks were presented to the Dock Board at Its meeting Wednesday night by Walter Van Benthuysen, a member of that body. The letters were supplemented by statements from A. C. Bell, engineer of the beard, and James Wilkinson, attorney of the board, to the effect that the Acme Lumber Company has not lived up to Its contract either as to quantity or grade.

Mr. Van Benthuysen read to the board letters from the J. J. Newman Lumber Company of and the Hlnton Lumber Company of Lumberton. Miss.

Both letters contained copies of orders these companies had received from the Acme Lumber Company. The orders called for "square edge and sound," which is not grade. The Acme contract with the Dotk Board calls for grade. "Theie people state that this lumber was intended for the Dock Board," Mr. Van Benthuysen said.

"The Hinton Lumber Company, knowing the circumstances, refused to fill the order. The Newman Lumber Company, not knowing the circumstances, filled the order. They write that they can produce the orders to show that they acted In good faith. "These letters show conclusively that the Acme Lumber Company ordered for the Dock Board lumber below the grade called for by the contract and Intentionally delivered this class of lumber." The lumber tangle was the last proposition taken up at the Wednesday night meeting. In calling it before the board.

Acting President O'Keefe asked if S. Coleman, manager of the Acme Company was present. It was stated that Mr. Coleman had not been there and was not re presented. Mr.

O'Keefe laid before the board a let ter from Mr. Coleman demanding payment of I the amount due for May deliveries. The letter stated that the lumber had been accepted by the engineer of the board, and that the contract therefor having been complied with, the board could not refuse payment. MR. WILKINSON'S INVESTIGATION.

"The statement contained in Mr. Coleman's letter that Mr. Bell, your engineer, accepted the lumber, is untrue." James Wilkinson, attorney of the board, said. "The fact is these people have not lived up to their contract either as to quantity or quality. Mr.

Bell informs me that Mr. VUlere, an employee hta office, signed the dray ticket, which had the effect of an acceptance. The contract, however, calls for approval of the bill by the chief engineer or a deputy authorixed by him to so approve them. This has hot been done. Mr.

Bell does not deny that the major portion of the lumber referred to was used by us, but the fact remains that these people are not living up to their contract and have furnished much lumber below the required grade. "I think this must have been contemplated when the eontract was made. The prices bid are very low for grade, and considerably below the market, and are much nearer grade. They must be losing $5 a thousand on every thousand feet of genuine grade they deliver to the board." Mr. Van Benthuysen then brought forward the letters from the Newman Lumber Company and Hlnton Lumber Company.

He said he had others, but thought the two would suffice to demonstrate the character of the treatment accorded the board by the contractor. "These peorl have not lived on to their contract at all." he said. "Why they Continued on Pare Two. vQ-iK 17 hJ 7 LjoL-v1 11 r. T.

June 11. Investigation of! the "sugar lobby" by tne eenaie iouu, committee to-day was to a marked extent a controversy over whether President Wilson had given the sugar producers reaaon to believe they would have "nothine to fear" from free sugar under his administration. Out of the day's testimony, in which Louisiana and Hawaiian witnesses repeatedly declared they had not received fair treatment from the President, and had been misled by others as to cis the committee succeeded in draw ing what are believed to be some of the most Important facts tnus rar Some of the sugar men frankly admitted they constituted a "lobby" although they objected to the charge that any of their actions had been "insidious" or in any way illegitimate or underhanded. They admitted that comprehensive campaigns had been organised and carried out. to create "backfires" on Senators and Representatives from their own Slates, in the hope of winning their support to the anti- free sugar-side.

PP.OSPEKITT AT STAKE. "The prosperity of Louisiana was at stake." said Jules Godchaux. a sugar planter. "We tried to get the people we i'A business with to write eenaiors ana Tleprteentatlves. telling them that free sugar would destroy the business or the State.

We asked them to wire and write Washington and to ask the merchants tl-ev did business with In the United States to do the same. We tried to establish an endless chain of letters and telegrams to draw attention of Congress to our arguments. John F. Hamburg of New Tork. Bin- arer for a large Hawaiian sugar firm, ad mitted his 3rm had urged all of their 1500 or more customers to write to Sena- tort and Representatives pointing out the destruction to business that would follow free sugar.

"We had to do that to overcome some effects of the misstatements that had been made in the free suear campaign." he said. RESENT STATEMENTS. Plainly resentful of the President's re ef nt statements as to the operation of an "Insidious lobby" in Washington, the Louisiana and Hawaiian sugar men enlivened the hearings with frequent attempt to tell of the pledges they believed they had received that sugar would rot be made entirely free. Jules Godchaux and Edward F. Dickinson, the two Louisiana witnesses, declared they had tried In vain to the President and had been Informed that he had all the Information he wanted on the sugar tariff.

Mr. Dickinson declared the President had never talked with any "practical sugar man" about the Louisiana and that he had obtained most of his information from National Committeeman Robert Ewing, a newspaperman; Fol Wexler. a banker; Representative Broussard, and Senators Ransdell and Thornton. "I have never seen Mr. Wilson on the sugar subject," interrupted Senator Thornton, who was sitting In the committee room.

PUT UP TO F.ROUSSARD. i Charges of the sugar men that they had been given assurances of the President's sympathy on the sugar question were based on statements Representative Broussard is said to have made to the witnesses aftr a visit to President Elect Wiison at Seagirt.

Th clash in which th men wounded wa the Erst serlou affair of the firemen' and oilers' strike that ha ha had th river front in excitement fos some days. The strikers seemed bent on trouble, and all efforts of the police to reason w1t or to overawe them went for naught.

"Thi Is the first time in many year the New Orleans police have had shoot at strikers." said Acting Superintendent Boyie. "Even In all the bitterness of the Illinois Central strike, not long ago, we were able to preserve order without bloodshed.

Cotton Schedule Altered to Advance Average Eate 5 Per Cent Income Tax and the Administrative Features of the Bill May Be Completed To-Day.

Washington. July 11. Changes in the Underwood tariff bill by the Senate finance subcommittees transferring pro posed dutUble article to the free list will aggregate aa estimated annual losa In revenue to the government of nearly a million and a half dollar a year. Thia curtailment of the total estimated revenue under the House bill is based only on articles known to have been transferred to the free list thus far on the subcommittee recommendations, and does not taken into account decreases in duties which will be proposed on many article. Added to the f2S.uO0.0O0 estimated loss in revenue under the House bill free li-tt, this would aggregate HEMP ON FREE LI3T.

Included in the Senate list are the revenue that would be derived from hemp, which the Underwood bill make dutiable, but which the Senate subcommittee to-day decided should be transferred to the free list. Hemp will be sent to the caucus In the free list on the ground that It belongs there if other products of the farms, such aa cattle and wheat, are to be free listed, a it would result in cheaper twine to the farmer and compe isate them somewhat by reducing their harvest expenditure. Hemp, both plain and hackled, the subcommittee proposes to remove from the dutiable list, the former from 111.20 a ton and the latter from one cent a pound In the Undeiwocd bill. Some of this loss In revenue may be made up ty countervailing dutle on certain agricultural product, but thl amount, it is estimatea. will not be large.

REVENUES CUT OFF. Among the article which the Senate subcommittees have added to the free list and the estimated revenue cut off are: Pig iron ferro manganese and spiegelelsen hemp IT8.400, live stock I5S3.0OO. wheat $300,000. photographic Mms cedar wood coal tar dyes a total of Majority members of the Finance Committee oppc.se publication at this time of detailed change in the Underwood bill epnroved by them on subcommittee ree-tmmendations. CHANGES ON COTTON.

The committee to-day had under con sideration the changes in the cotton schedule proposed by Senator Johnson' subcommittee. Most of them were approved, but one or two matter were referred back to the subcommittee for further consideration. In thi schedule the ret result of the altered rate will increase the average cotton rate In the Underwood bill about 5 per cent, the prin cipal changes affecting cotton yarn. Thi Is probably the only schedule In which Senate action will result in an Increase. The majority members of the comrnit-lee decided their action should be guard ed a much a possible until the caucus can have a chance to act, because the caucus in some matter reverse or otherwise alter their decisions.

The metal and earthenware schedule were considered for a time to-day, but discussion on them wa continued until to-morrow. AT WORK ON INCOME TAX. Senator William' subcommittee still I working on the Income tax and administrative provisions of the bill, but expects to report to-morrow. It ha been decided to eliminate the antl-dumplng clause and the 5 per cent tariff discount on import on American ships, and some modification wtll be reported of the provisions directing foreign manufacturers to submit their books when valuation are In dispute. The income tax also will be modified to give mutual life insurance companies an opportunity to claim exemption by proving they are not conducted for profit.
