New YORK, N r., February 8. ~
The joint commission to inquire intc
trust monopolies in New York, resumed
their Investigation this morning. Sec
retary Searles, Of the American sugar
refinery company, was on hand carly.
"Before you take the stand, Mr.. Searles,
we would like you to explain why you
did not appear before the committee,
Friday and Saturday last, when you
were subpoenaed, said Senator Lexow.
II was on my way to catch the train to
keep an out of town engagement, when
/ was served with the committees SUBJ
poena. l asked Mr.. Parsons to co ne
before the committee and explain the
reasons for my absence,'' said Mr..
Searles. Senator Lexow looked angry.
"It seems TO this committee he said,
"that 1t is that its subpoena, Is superior
to any business. This committee
makes no distinction between millIon-
aire and beggar and insists upon the
same obedience from both. The COM
mittee will not pass upon the question
of contempt until the end of your tes-
timoDy and see If it be helpful to rs. .
Searles was then sworn and related to
the committee his various business con
nections.
Mr.. Searles was sharply questioned
by Senator Lexow, concerning his pur-
chase of the North River sugar re efinery
and the formation Ct the alleged
sugar trust, but the witness would make
no admissions.
Chairman Lexow SAID, significantly, |
that the committee would have to get
the books OF the companies CONSOLE
dated into the trust, no matter who !
held them. The witness said that the |
total consumption Of refined sugar in the
United States was 100000 tons, an
nually, and that his company produced
about 100000 tons of the total.
The American sugar refining company
fixed the price, because they fixed il so
ow that they undersold their competi-
,ors. ssIs it not . fact, that where you
,ave competitors you cut down the
price in their particular locality and
orce them to the wallp" asked Lexow.
'.No, sir, it is not. "
ssBut you control the price of sugarp"
s'We only control the price of our
'wn sugar, and 1 disagree with any
'ther statement. ~ :
