"In July last Messrs. Stlmsnn and
Dennison, as special counsel for the
government, commenced an Investi
gation' as to the weights on which
duties were paid on sugar landed on
the docks of the sugar refineries of
the National Sugar Refining Com
pany, of New Jersey, at the port of
New York.
"That company voluntarily gave
them access to Its books and a thor
ough Investigation was made of
those books and of the books of the
constituent companies and of the
company's purchasing agents and of
the custom-house records. As a re
sult it was ascertained that ther- had
been a shortage in the payment of
duties on Importation of sugar made
by representatives of that company
and Its predecessor between 1898,
when the refineries began business,
and the end of- 1907, amounting to
$604,304.37. This storage was re
ported to the officers of the com
pany, and as soon as they had verified
the government's figures they volun
tarily offered $ pay this sum with
out suit Into the treasury of the
United States, and to make good the
offer they deposited are full sum in
cash.
"This payment has been accepted
by the Secretary of the Treasury,
with the concurrence of the Attorney
General and 'on the recommendation
of the solicitor of the Treasury an i
the. special counsel for tbe govern
ment. "This settlement In no wise affects
the criminal prosecution of any In
dividuals who may be shown to have
been responsible for any criminal
frauds."

National Sugar Refining Company,

AN AMERICAN EXPEDITION

ton. i
Washington, D. C. (Special).
America has decided to seek for
South Polo laurels similar to tbosa
won for her by Comamnder Peary
at the North Pole. The National
Geographic resolves to send an expe
dition in search of the South Pole
provideJ the necessary funds can be
raised. It is not believed that there
will be any lack on this score. Com
mander Peary, who Is in New York,
where a testimonial In his bebalt
was given at the Metropolitan Opera.
House, was notified immedlaiuly of
the action of tho board of mi uagcre
of the Geographic Society.
Captain Bartlett, who was in
command of the Roosevelt, which
Peary used on his successful trip to
the North Pole, probably will be plac
ed in charge of the expedition Into
the Antarctic regions. With the ex
ception of Commander Peary, the
members of the expedition, will be
the same as those who returned last
year from the frozen North.
The Roosevelt, including complete
equipment, sledges and all. Is practi
cally in readiness to be storeJ with
provisions and Btart on her search
of the only big goal on the globe
which has not yet been reached.
Before the Geographic Society
makes final decision In the matter
there will be consultations with tbe
members of the society to find oat
whether the project will receive sf
flcicnt financial assistance to war
rant the undertaking.
Question Of Funds
It is not felt that the money
should be taken from the funds of
the society, but it is believed that no
difficulty will be experienced In rais
ing sufficient money to fit out the
Roosevelt.
After a meeting lasting more
than an hour the board of managers
of the Geographic Society adopted
the following resolution:
The National Geographic Society
believes that It is of great importance'
to science that tidal, magnetic and
meterologlcal observations shall be
obtained at or in the vicinity of
Coats land during the same period
that the British expedition under
Capt. Robert F. Scott, R, N.. W
making similar observations on the
other side of the Antarctic area
1.800 miles distant, and at the same
time that this recently dieccvered
land shall be explored.
"That the society is ready to ac
cept Mr. Peary's proposition that It
shall undertake Jointly with the
Peary Arctic Club an expedition to
the Antarctic regions as outlined
above, provided that the board of
managers, after consulting with tho
members of the society, finds that
the nroject will receive sufficient fi
nancial assistance to warrant the un
dertaking." -
Xo Rivalry To British.
It Is thought probable that the ex
pedition may be ready to set sa.Il
from New York, where "the sturdy
little Roosevelt is now lying at rest
after her hard labors In struggling
through northern Ice fields as early
as July. The rapidity with which
resnonse for financial assistance is
made by members or frlenda of the
sorlety will determine the date. It
is boped to have the South Pole seek
ers start out not later than Septem
ber next. No spirit of rivalry to the
Hruisn attempt to reach he South
Pole ia being manifested, it was de
clared, in the American expedition.
