Hartford, Conn., June ‘11.—Someons in the gencral offices of the New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad mailed to the Hon. Daniel P. Dunn, state comptrolier, a pass. Mr. Dunn has mailed it back with a letter of explanation to the general counsel of the New Haven system as follows: Hartford, June 10, 1913. Hon., Edwin_D. Robbins, General Counsel, New York, New Haven & Hartford Railroad Company, New Haven, Conn. Dear Sir: Enclosed you will find rallroad pass which through your kind- ness, I received on the 7th imst. I can assure you that I appreciate the| courtesy extended and, desire to ten- der you my most sincere thanks, but I have adopted ihe policy, while a city official, not to accept free transporta- tion, and now as a state official I hard- ly think that I should accept ‘said pass. I do not believe that a state officlal should recelve any more consideration than the man who pays his fare. The state of Connecticut fixes the salary of the comptroller by law. He knows what that compensation is, and should do his duty to the state of Connecticut and her people regardless of any gifts, emoluments, or other considerations. Therefore, in return- ing the enclosed pass, I believe I am only doing my duty as an official and citizen of the state, and one that does not belleve that it is good policy to accept free transportation at the hands of any corporation. Again thanking you for your kind- ness, I remain, Sincerely yours, DANIEL P. DUNN, Compfroller. ARMED RESISTANCE BY MEN OF ULSTER Appeal for Volunteers Issued by Chairman of British League.

HAD NOTHING TO FEAR Declare That They Were Given This Assurance—Have Tried in Vain to Talk with the president. Washington, June 11.—Investigation of the sugar lobby by the senate lobby committee today was to a marked ex- tent a controversy over whether Presi dent Wilson had given the sugar pro- ducers reason to believe they would have “nothing to fear” from free sugar under his administration.

Out of the day’s testimony, in which Louisiana and Hawailan wittesses re- peatedly declared they had not r ceived fair treatment from the presi- dent and had been misled by others as to his purpose, the committee succeed- ed in drawing what are believed to be some of the most important facts thus tar developed. Some of the sugar men frankly admitted that they constitut- ed a “lobby,” although they objected to the charge that any of thelr actions had_been “insidious” or in any way il- legitimate or underhanded. They ad- mitted that comprehensive campaigns had been organized and carried out, to create “back fires' on senators and representatives from their own states in the hope of winning their support to the anti-free suga: side.

We asked them to write and wire to Washington and to ask the merchants they did business with throughout the country to do the same. We tried to establish an end- less chain of letters and telegrams, to draw the attention of congress to our arguments.” Urged Customers to Write Letters. John F. Hahburg of New York,| manager for a large Hawallan sugar firm, admitted that his firm had urged all of their 1,500 or more customers to write to senators and representatives, pointing out the destruction to busi- ness that yould follow free sugar. “We had to do that to overcome some of the effects of the misstate- ments that had been made in the free sugar campaign,” he said. Tried in Vain to See Wiison. Plainly resentful of the president’s recent statements as (o the operation of an “insidious lobby” in Washington, the Louisiana and Hawailan sugar men enlivened the hearing with fre- quet attempts to tell of the pledge they believed they had received that sugar Cendensed Teiegrams Friday, the 13th, 1913, is a com- bination ‘that will never occur again.
