WILL VISIT THE SULUS.
President Schurman to Arrange Gov

ernment For the Islands.
New York, June 14.-PreSident Schur-
man of the Philippine commission. is
expected to gather some valuable in
formation in his proposed visit to the
several islands of the Philippine archi-
pelagO, says a Washington cOrreSpon-
dent of the Tribune. While not much
is known of his purposes. the under
standing is that he desires TO inform
himself of the conditions elsewhere
than in Luzon before returning TO the
United States
In the bush-whacking of Aguinaldo
and his followers around Manila which
makes American military operations
necessary, the fact is generally over
looked that other parts OF the archi-
pelago have accepted American author
ity unreservedly and that no trouble
is anticipated establishing an American
government there. 1t is a curious cir
cuInstance that the most favorabls con-
ditionS are reported to exist in the Sulu
group. President Schusman has not
indicated definitely whether II is his
intention to visit this group but the
supposition is that he desires to learn
the situation there
In March, General Otis reported that
the Spanish garrison was still main
tanned in the group, but this was a
temporary arrangement and the garri-
son was expected TO retire later
The Sulus are Mahometans but they
are said TO be most favorable to Ameri-,

GutSLlOll AtDOl
On the question of labor. Mr. Have
meyer said the laboring element 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 10
per cent more than they get else
where.
Mr.. Havemeyer said many things
were done in business which looked
cold -blooded and harsh, but that bust
ness conditions often required conduct
justifying such Characterization. The
farmers, he thought. ought to establish
a trust for their protection.
He declared that his company had not
gone into a 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 executive act, and the
other a matter of business"
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
elimination against sugar, reiterating
that ii was due entirely to the feeling
against combinations in business.
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1899-06-15

"The difference since its formation
shows an advantage to the consumer
note that, consumer-of over 1s of a
cent per pound.
THE sugar company undoubtedly
tries it's utmost to enlarge its business
but does it in a way which they con-
slider the only proper one, that is by
making the price so low as to defy
competition.
1T is my opirion that corporations
are under no obligation whatever to
any of the states for their existence.

A SCHOOL ROW
In Kanwha County Has Gotten
Into the Courts and May Prove
Inter- sting

Special 10 the Reg:ster,
CHARLESTON. w. Va, December
6.-The Supreme Court has issued a
writ Of prohibition directed to Judge
F. A. Guthrie, of the Kanawha Circuit
Court, to stop him from making any
order to suspend ]. H. High, a mem
Der OF the B card Of Education OF
Charleston District, from Office and
appointing anyone to take his place.
The writ is returnable Friday, the 18th
inst, and the hearing OF the case be-
fore the Supreme Court is expected to
be very interesting.
The action OF the Supreme Court
! grows out CT a difficulty between two
members Of the school board of Char
lesion district. outside the city, and the
trustees Of the school az Patrick. a sub
urb Of Charleston. The members of
the board, j. w. High and J. II, Lewis,
oyerruled the president of the board
James Tyler, and assumed the rignt to
appoint the teachers for the Patrick
school, because it vas a graded school,
while the trustees claimed the sole
right to appoint the teachers. The re-
suit was two sets of teachers for the
same school. The trustees got posses
sion of the school and installed their
teachers. but the board of education
by the trustees orders on the sheriff
refused 10 give the teachers appointed
for their salaries, but issued orders for
tae salaries of the teachers appointed
by themselves, though these teachers
had done no teaching. For this and
other acts of the two members of the
beard thought to be unlawful, the citi-
zens of Patrick brought charges against
J.. w. High and petitioned Judge Guth-
RE to suzDend( him from office while
proceedings for his impeachment could
be concluded and to appoint some one
to take Highs place and act in his
stead as member of the board of edu-
cation. Judge Guthrie entered the or
der prayed for, and appointed c. F.
Stockton a member Of the school
board in the place of High. Mr.. High
then petitioned the Supreme Court to
issue a writ of prohibition against
Judge Guthrie to stop him from MAX
ing any further orders in the case, and
directing him to vacate the orders al
ready made by him in the case. He
will be heard before the Supreme
Friday, and the Court viii then pass
upon the validity of his acts.

If Mr.. Roberts is finally rejected by

His rejection by the House, it is ex-
