MT. Havemeyer Refused to Say How
 Much Money the Sugar Trust Com
 tributed to Campaign Funds.
 WASHINGTON, June 13.-Mr. H. O. Have
 meyer was again before the sugar trus
 committee to-day. He WAS excused yestsr
 day on the understanding that he would
 appear this morning and answer questions
 which he was not prepared to answer.
 This quession was: .'What sum Of money
 have you (the American Sugar Refining l company) been able to make under that act (the Mckinley tariff law) which you at. tribute directly to the act or its opsrs | tiont9"
 MT. Eavemeyer also obtained the per I mission of the committee to defer answer ing another question until he could consult with his counsel. MT. Allen was the ques tioner in the instance and what he anted was full data as to all money contr lbuted by the American Sugar Refining cor ,pany, or any of its officers, on It's accour or in it's interest, in the different states of the Union in 1892 and 1893, for political pur- poses or any political party whether na- tions1, state or local.
 MT. Havemeyer was on the stand about half an hour. He made only one import ant statement that was new. He declined to state the amount of money the American Sugar Refining company had contributed to state and local campaign funds and as- serted that this was a matter over which the commtttes had no jurisdiction.
 In answer to the question as to how much monsy the so called trust had made in pr of its that could be attributed directly to the Mckinley act, he said that the profits that would be made under the tariff bill now before the sena'e would be about one- fourth of those made under the Mckinley law. MT. Havemeyer was excused at the conclusion of his testimony.
 In reply to questions pnt by Senator Alien MT. Havemeyer said that under the trust the number of refneries had been re- duced from twenty to seven and the cspac- ity repre- scented had been increased from sixty-dve to eighty per cent. Ths twenty refneries before the existence of the trust had been able to exist, but not to make any money. MT. Havemeyer admitted that the purpose of the formation of the trust was to advance the price of sugar to the consumer and that the consumer was pay ing three -eights of cent a pound on re- fined sugars more that he would be com pelled to pay under system or free, or separate refneries.
 Mr. H. P. Birnie, chief clerk of the Ar lington hotel, ,said there were two elevators at he hotel, but neither was used in send ing United States senators up stairs se- cretly, and he did not remember any oc- casion when senators were sent up to the rooms of Mir. Terrill, MT. Havemeyer or MT. Reed by the so-callsd tback" elevator
 J. o. Searles, secretary and treasurer of the American Sugar Refining company, was the last witness. He denied that the trust controlled the market. The American Su- gar Refining company, he said; occupied the country east of the Mis- ,ouri and the Western Refining company (Claus Spreck e!s) all territory west of the Missouri. The American company owned a half interest in the Western, but the two were frequent ly in competition. The American con- pany's net profits since it's organiz 4tion in January, 1891, were about $20, GOO, 000 Mir. Searles contradicted MT. Havemeyer on one important point. He said that the re- fneries were not running at a loss before the formation of trust. The average of the refineries before the trust was as much for the seven years previous to the organi zation of the trust as it has been under the American Sugar Refining company. But the profit was irregular.
 He believed the people were getting their sugar cheaper and purer quality of sugar by reason of his company than was poesi- ble under any other circumstances. He stated that his sole business in Washing ton last winter was the influencing of con Qressionsl legislation on the sugar schedule. He had called on 8 number of senators. He had nsed only proper arguments with all of them and had not mentioned to any senator that the democratic party was ohI <o fho fyrvo f.,r campaign contributions.
 Mr. Searles declined to say how much money was contributed by the trust for campaign purposes in 1899, on the ground that it was not within the province of the inquiry. No national contributions were made. No contributions had been made to secure or defeat legislation.
