Grand Lecturer Harry r Wood pre-
sided and the 1Ooms were well filed with
Elks and invited guests for pleasant
evening, and the occasion was made
the more enjoyable by the presence of
g number of singers from the Grau
Opera company. Mr.. Dunbar, the
tenor sang two solos after coming
from Chopin hall, and Maurice
Whish sang 'Rocked in the Cradle of
the Deep" while Messrs. Milne.
Howe, and Rokahr assisted in the
vocal effort.
Mr. Aronstein was the orator of the
evening, and toasted the departing
Elk, and Harry Wood paid an elo-
quent tribute. Then recitations and
speeches followed, so that it was about

Senator LexoW Asks Some
Awkward Questions.
SEARLES ON THE STAND.
Over 1,5OO,O 900 Tons of Refined Sugar
Produced Annually in the United
States aud the American Sugar
Trust Furnishes 1,2OO, 900 Tons.

NEW YORK, February s.-The joint
commission to enquire into trusts and
monopolies in New York resumed their
investigation this morning. Secretary
Searles, of the American Sugar Re
finery company, was on hand early
"Before you take the stand, Mr..
Searles, we would like you to explain
why you did not appear before the COM
mittee Friday and Saturday last when
you were subpoenaed, said Senator
Lexow. II was on my way to catch a
train to keep an out of town engage
ment when I was served with the COM
mittee's subpoena, asked Mr.. Parsons
to come before the committee and ex-
plain the reasons for my Absence" said
Mr. Searles. Senator LexOw looked
angry. sit seems to this committee, !"
he said, ''that its subpoena is superior
to any business. This committee makes
no distinction between a millionaire
and beggar and insists upon the same
obedience from both. The committee
will not pass upon the question OF con-
tempt until the end of your testimony
and see if it be helpful to u.s."
Mr.. Searles was then sworn and re-
lated to the committee his various busi-
ness relations.
Mr.. Searles was sharply questioned
by Senator Lexow concerning his pur-
chase of the North River Sugar Re-
finery and the formation of the alleged
sugar trust, but the witness would
make no admissions. Senator Lexow
said it was significant that the commit
tee would have to get the books OF the
companies consolidated into trust, no
matter who held them. The witness
said the American Sugar Refinery COM
pany did not hold them. Witness saidthe
total consumption of refined sugar in
the United States was 800, 900 tons an
uually and that his company produced
about 200 900 tons of the total. The
American Sugar Refining company fix
ed the price because they fixed it so
low they undersOld their competitors
''Is it not fact that where you have
competitors, you cut down price in that
particular locality and force them to
the wall?" asked LeXow.
No sir, it is not
.sBut you control the price of sugar."

Miss Browns singing evidenced plain

which her voice had been trained.
She has it under excellent control and
her notes were taken with accuracy

MIR. Dunbar sang tenor robusto. He
studied under George Sweet in New

voice that will please FL Paso opera
gOers the coming week. The man has
wonderful control over his voice, so
that anv form of expression seems of
no difficulty whatever. He partially
acted the song ''Iu Old Madrid," and
just captivated the audience. Mr..
Dun bar responded to the voluminous
encore given him. He sings lyric as
well as in the dramatic school, and has
learned from Mr.. 5 weet the knack of
singing, so that when he has cold his
audience never catches on.
Mr.. Beach has in him the making of
fine dramatic tenor, and should by all
means apply himself with diligence to
vocal studies. for there is rich reward
in store for him by and by. His voice
is of good tone and volume, the timbre
or quality is pleasing, and when Mr..
