HARDSHIP TO LOUISIANA Declares Cane Industry of His State “Supports Half a Million Souls” and the Beet Sugar Industry Fully as Many More. shington, June 3.—Senator Rans- | dell of Louisiana, in a prepared} speech, discharged verbal broadsides at the so called “sugar trust;” de- elared the free sugar schedule of the tariff bill “violated the pledge of the Baltimore platform not to destroy legitimate industry,” and said that in supporting free sugar “the Democratic party will be playing into the hands ef the sugar trust and other refiners.” Mr. Ransdell made the statement that the cane industry of Louisiana supported “half a million souls;” that the beet sugar industry employed 150,- 00 people, with 500,000 dependert upon it, and that 200,000 people in Hawaii depended on sugar. The re- finers, he declared, employed about 10,000 men. Directly attacking the so called su- gar trust Senator Ransdell reviewed the customs frauds and the govern- ment’s anti-trust suits against the American Sugar Refining company and declared that former Attorney General Wickersham had referred to some of the refiners as “criminals of | unparalleled depravity.” The campaign for free sugar, he eharged, was conducted by the refin- ers “to distract attention from them- selves.” No reductions in price to the consumer would follow free sugar,' Senator Ransdell declared, but charged that after competition had been eliminated the price would be waised. Senator Ransdell contended that the framers of the Baltimore platform did mot contemplate free sugar and de- elared that the words “that will not injure or destroy any legitimate indus- try” were written into the platform with “especial reference to sugar.” STATE SCORES IN WOOD TRIAL Gives Damaging Evidence Against De- fendants.
