ment of all civil claims arising out
of the fraudulent weighing of sugar

panies further auree to give up their
right of appeal.
The settlement was made uihmi t**e
advice of the com|>any's lawyers. A
?statement from the latter was made
public tonight in which they say that
the settlement seemed wise brcause
of the fact that the government had
threatened otherwise to bring other
suits fcr amounts reaching nearly
5S.000.000.
The settlement, while it discharges
all the civil claims made by the gov?

not prevent the bringing of criminal
prosecutions against the men respon?
sible for the use of the fraudulent
device, through the use of which false
weights were recorded.
TWO-CENT ROUNO TRIP
FARES ON R. F. & P. ROAD
This Rate Probably Will Be Agreed
Upon By State and Railway
Officials.
RICHMOND, VA.. April 29 ? An in?
formal conference took place Wed?
nesday between the State Corpora?
tion Commission and the officials of
the Richmond-Washington line on
the subject of a {passenger rate for
that line. .
It seems that the order entered
two years ago putting into effect the
two-cent rate on the two roads com?
posing this line to Washington is
subject to a motion for rehearing.
The proposition which was discussed
Wednesday was to allow the line to
maintain its present basing rate for
'rough travel in consideration of Its
y.it ting into effect round-trip tickets
at two cents per mile, good for seven
days, between all points on the line,
including Washington, sach tickets
?between points both of which are
within Virginia when used only one
way to he redeemable on the basis
of a chargp to the passenger of 2 1-2
rents per mile for the distance trav?
eled, and also maintaining the pres?
ent interchangeable two-cent mileage
book in operation over the 20.000
miles of road south of the Potomac
and Ohio rivers east of the Missis?
sippi.
.It appears that the practical opera?
tion of this prrf csitlon. if put into ef?
fect, will lie to give to the vast ma?
jority of people traveling I"tween
Richmond and Washington or other
station* on the road and retiming
in seven days a two-cent rate, and
to the remaining small number of Vir?
ginia tvi sengers going onlv one *?v

RICHMOND. VA., April 29.?Henry

of the Virginia State Fair Association
and twice a member of the state
Senate, in a statement over the long

nied most emphatically that there Is
any grounds for the sensational story
sent out of Riehmond last night to
the effect that he is about to become
a candidate of the "surgent" element
of the Democratic party for guber?
natorial honors In opposition to the
two candidates now in the field,
Harry St. George Tucker, of Staun
ton. and Jcdge William Hodges Mann,
Of Nottoway county.
By the Tucker adherents it is con?
tended that the story was inspired by
the Democratic "ring." which is fa?
vorable to the candidacy of Judge

ing strength of their candidate by
splitting the vote in the State. The

(By Associated Press.)
WASHINGTON. 1). C. April 29 ?
Senator Nelson, of Minnesota, took
the floor today to present his objec?
tions ro some if the tariff bill. He
manifisted es|>erial satisfaction over
the discovery tij- himself of what he
said were numerous "jokers*' in the
lumher schedule.
While ostensibly the rates of duty
<>n l imber were lowered, lie said, they
in fact wer?> higher even than the
Dingley rates.
S|Kaklng especially upon the lum?
ber schedule, he quoted prices to
show thai in several classes of lum?
ber the increase of prices from 1900
? o 1907 was more than 07 per cent.,
while the increase of wages was only
from 15 to 2" i.er cent.
Uniform Prices Preserved.
"They cay we have no lumt'er
frnsis," he said. "We know that we
cannot show that the lumbermen
have an? written agreement among
themselves, but we who are the con?
sumers of lumlicr know that whether
we deal with one or another of them
it is all the same?there is no dif?
ference in price."
Addressing Mr. Plies and other sen?
ators. Mr. Nelson said that Ktmber
men all made great fortunes,
i "You can sneer st this," he ssid,
"but we find men engaged In that
industry turning up as millionaires
when no one else gets to be a mil?
lionaire, unless he has operated In
stock watering in connection with
some railroad."
"I think." said Mr. Nelson, "that
the men who have captured all this
pine stumpage are at the bottom of
this business of a high tariff, on lum?
ber. 1 know that the lumbermen In
Minnesota who are contending for a
high tariff are the men who bought
up the millions of acres of pine
.stumpage cn the Pacific coaA. in Ore?
gon and Washington, and the yellow
Vine in the South."
Bad as Steel Trust.
Insisting that the monopoly in 1am
-ber in this country was as complete
as the hold of the steel trust on the
iron ore, Mr. Nelson added:
"These big men have patted Mr.
Pincbot on the back. They have been
glad that he took so much of the
timber in forest reserves because they
knew that the more be took, the
closer would In the corporation among
themselves."
Mr. McLaurln Inquired how It hap?
pened that if, as had been stated,
the labor in the lumber camps cf
Canada was cheaper than in the Uni?
ted States, such laborers do not move
across the border into the Cnited
States.
"They do," said Mr. Callinger.
"They are coming here in swarms."
Compete With Americana.
"Then it brings them in competi?
tion- with our labor." suggested Mr.
MclAitrln. "Is that fair to them?"
"Rnt ft does not rednee wages here
because we need them."
Mr. McOimbcr declared that the
tax cn lumber was a tax : aid on the
extinction of the American forests.
"You develop the industry in lum?
ber." he ssid. "when at the present
time the mos* extreme men will tell
you the lunilier supply will !?/> ex
ban?ted in lefs than thirty years.*''
Mr Klklns. obtaining the floor, as?
serted that the senator from North
Pakota wik "commi'ted to free trade
?n the things which his State did
not prodnre."
"IWd I not vote for sixty per cent,
