HAVEMEYER's ADVICE.
To the Farmers Is That They Form a
Trust


Washington, June 15.-Mr. H. o.
Havemeyer's statement before the in
dustrial commission yesterday aroused
great interest and the next three hours
were devoted to answering questions
asked him in rapid succession by the
members of the commission. He made
an incidental statement which the COM
mission construed into an admission
that business, was not profitable now.
The witness confessed that his company
had very little regard for the welfare of
rivals of business, saying that prestige,
ability, experience and wealth would
win in the long run in the struggle and
that trusts were an example of the sur
vival of the fittest in business.
THAT is trade he said, land the
sooner you realize it and quit trying to
control it by federal legislation, the bet
ter for all A man can not expect to
have himself continuously wet-nursed
by the government. If men do not want
to buy our stocks they need not. They
don't need government protection II
they wade in and get stuck, let them
get out and, if they wish, wade in again.
The fate of rival concerns is their af-
fairs, not ours"
He declared that the tariff enabled
the steel rail trust to mulct the public
to the extent of SO per ton, and said
incidentally that Mr. Carnegie had not
yet stated what he was going to do with
his money.
On the question of labor. Mr.. Have
meyer said the labOring elements were
forced to form organizations, but that
in doing so they sacrificed much indie
pendence and the unions had the effect
of bringing other men down to low
level"
He contended that he was a friend of
labor and said that good men in the
employ of the trust were paid ten per
cent more than they could get else
where.
Mr. Havemeyer said that many things
were done in business which looked cold
blooded and harsh, but that business
conditions often required conduct justi-
flying such characterization The farm
ers. he thought. ought to establish
trust for their protection.
He declared that his company had not
gone into combination with any of the
independent refinerieS. Reports that
such a consolidation had been effected
were untrue.
Replying to a question as to how he
could conduct business at a loss and
still declare dividends. Mr.. Havemeyer
declared laughingly: zone is an execu-
tive and the other a matter of bust
ness
The witness expressed the opinion
that it would be a good plan to expose
the business books to a government in
spector- He closed with a protest
against what he called the tariff dis
examinations against sugar, reiterating
that 1t was due entirely to the feeling
against com binatiOns in business

The annual picnic of the Ladies'

For a number of years this has been
an annual event, looked forward to with
interest several months beforehand.
The picnicS are always held at the
home of Misses Irene and Grace Camp

them doub1y pleasant. Their home,
too is perfect for an affair of this kind
with its wide porches and pretty lawn.
Last year, owing to the rain, the pic
mic was given up but this year they de-
termined to go in spite of it; part went
in a large covered wagon and others in
carriages. 1t was so damp that it was
necessary to spend the day in the
house and on the porches.
An unusually interesting programme
was given 1t was as follows:

SENSATIONAL STORY SPOILED.
with Mine That Sunk the Maine
Have Been Discovered.

Havana, March 21.-Capt. T. l.. Hus-
questioned by a correspondent of the
press on the subject Of the story print
ed by local newspaper at Cincinnati.
o., saying that the location of the key
board by which the United States bat
tleship Maine was blown up in Havana
harbor on February Is. 1898, had been
found by him in a gun room of the
| Fuerza prison while engaged in clean
ing out the Notifications. The captain
said the use of his name in this con
nection was not authorized. He
showed the correspondent cable with
several wires running into the harbor
from Fuerza prison, opposite Cabanas
fortress. One wire was connected with
a disused telegraph instrument in a
neighboring government building.
Though the cable has not been in
vestigated by the United States en-
gineers. the supposition is that it runs
10 Cabanas, across the harbor. and has
been used for telegraphing. There is
a remote chance that the wires in the
cable were connected with mines or tor
pedoes. but there is no indication that
il had anything to do with the blowing
up of the Maine The end Of the cable
sticking out of Fuerza prison has been
seen by tourists for weeks past. Many
soldiers have also seen the cable and
may have expressed the belief hat it
was used to blow up The Maine.
