SERIOUS TROUBLE
Threatened Between Epworth Leaguers
and Indiana Oficials.

Indianapolis, Ind, June 12.-Serious trou-
BILE is threatened between the local gen.
eral committee in charge of the Interna-
tional Epworth League convention that is
to meet in this city in few weeks and the
state officials and custodian of the state
capitol. 1t is estimated that more than
$4,000 people will attend the convention from
the United States and Canada.
The local committee went before the last
legislature and secured, through a resolu-
ton, permission to pitch a tent in the capt.
tol grounds large enough to accommodate
1000 to 5000 people, in which to hold daily
meetings.
Custodian Vest of the capitol announces
that he viii not permit the tent to be pitch

GROCER SMITH
DEFENDS TRUSTS.
He Says That Combinations of
Capital Are Necessary
to Business.

Washington, June 12.-G. Waldo Smith,
of New York, president of the Wholesale
Grocer's association, was the only witness
before the industrial commission today in
connection with the trust investigation. Mr..
Smith proved to be a defender of the trusts.
but he refused to speak for the combina-
tons of capital by this name. He indeed
asserted that there were no trusts and that
the combinations were so referred to un-
justly.
Mr. Smith detailed the particulars of the
organizations of the Grocer's association
which occurred in 1888. He said previous
to this combination the wholesale grooer5
were selling many articles at cost price.
There was special reason to complain of
the price of sugar. The American Sugar
Refining company then, he said, controlled
the manufacture of sugar and the whole
salers had been able after much consulta-
ton to secure a uniform rate of 3-16 per
cent per pound with the understanding
that all who did not sell at a less price
than this should have a rebate at the end
of each three months of 1875 cents on each
one hundred pounds of sugar purchased.
This arrangement, said Mr. Smith, had
continued until the present day, and would
nave relieved the grocers of selling sugar
at loss If some of them had not made a
cut on the price. There was really no writ
ten contract with the refners for rebate
Mr. Smith said. Mr. Smith said the erec-
ton of refneries by Arbuckle & Doscher
had had the effect of rendering prices less
certain and that they were now maintained
at all with the various refineries in the
field was due to the honor and fair dealing
of the grocers themselves. The witness
confessed that he was a Jealous ndyoca tie
OF the rebate system. Asserting that there
We're no trusts, Mr.. Smith said he had ask
ed fourteen lawyers to name one and they
had failed to do so. As for combinations of
capital they were necessary to do the busi-
ness OF the world and when any of them
Should reach point at which they were
making excessive profits competitors would
spring up and thus furnish an antidote for
the only possible evil that might arise from
them.
