.HAVEMEYER TALKS.
Tells All About the
Sugar Trust and
Its Methods.
BEFORE INDUSTRIAL COMMISSION
Glucose Magnate Is Not
in Love With the
Tariff.
BEFORE INDUSTRIAL COMMISSION

washington, June 17.-Henry o.
Havemeyer, president of the American
Sugar Refining Company, was exam
ined by the industrial commission to-
day in Connection with the investigation
of trusts. His testimony related al
most wholly to the sugar industry, and
he opened with a vigorous attack upon
the customs tariff, which he declared
was the mother of all trusts" becom-
ing such by providing IAN inordinate
protection to manufactured articles"
He asserted that tariff of per cent
was as high as any tariff should be.
He claimed sugar was Disseminated
against in the tariff on account of the
Louisiana cane growers and the Ha-
waiian islands. To these interests he
commended the United States contributed
$24, 0OO, 900, which was taken out of the
pockets of the people.
He admitted freely that the compa-
ny did all possible to advance its own
the corporations were under obligations
to the different states, but that the re-
verse was true. Capital and labor, he
stated, would all adjust themselves if
let alone.
The only way to prevent competition,
Mr.. Havemeyer testified, was to keep
prices at minimum-not necessarily
in the interest of the consumer, but as
q matter. of business He referred to
the trust laws of some of the states as
a premium on dishonesty. Replying to
questions by Prof. jerks, Mr.. Have
meyer said the American company was
capitalized for much less than it was
worth. But for the clamor against
trusts he said: 1T could be sold for
three times its capitalization. Yet he
thought the refneries could be du-
plicated for $35 900, 900 or $4O,O0O0O0. The
present capacity of the trust is, he
said, $4,000 barrels a day, and the out
put 100000 He thought the trust was
refining about 80 per cent of the sugar
refined in the United States.

BODY IDENTIFIED.
Two Witnesses Say Dismembered Limbs
Belong to Franz Peterson.

New York, June 14.-The disrnem-
bered body found in the bay has been
more or less identified by two persons
as Franz Peterson, sailor. Ernest
Engstrom of Brooklyn ideptified the
body as that of Franz Peterson, a sail
or friend, who since his last voyage has
lived on Fourth avenue, Brooklyn.
Engstrom asserts that on Thursday
last he went to the GraVesend races
with Peterson, and after winning lit
tie money, they left there and Peterson
rode to Coney island with about $3.50 in
his clothes. Engstrom saw Peterson Ia
ter at Coney Island in the compsny of
two women.
Mrs E. C. Smith, whose husband
was formerly shipmate of Franz Pc
rerson, called at the morgue and made

.ONE MONTH MORE.
Hague Conference Not Ex-
pected to Adjourn Be-
fore Middle of July.

The Hague, June 14.-It is now ex-
pected the peace congress will not adj
journ before the middle of July, as 1t
is thought the labors of the delegates
will not be finished before that time,
but there is the additional question of
the acceptance by the powers Of the
decisions adopted by the conference.
The delegates who desire to see some
tangible result accomplished by the
conference recognize that if the MEM
bers are contented with simply trans
hitting the decisions to their respective
governments, the work of the dele
gates will simply be pigeonholed.
Therefore the delegates have resolved
to adjourn their sittings as soon as
their work is completed, and to submit
the result to their respective govern
ments with the request that the dele
gates be empowered to sign a definite
document.
1t is expected the governments will
keep track Of the progress of the work,
and that they will require about ten
days for deliberation on their final de-
cision, which will bring the final adj
journment in the middle Of July
The refusal of Great Britain to ac-
cept the stipulations of the Brussels
conference if they are made defnitive
will not prevent the other powers from
pledging themselves to action in the
matter. There is no doubt that the
Brussels conference subcommittee will
reach a practical result, but it is pos
sible some of the powers, while reserv-
ing the right to apply the new stipula-
lions when necessary, may not con-
sent to bind themselves forthwith.

session today, and that was productive
of but little of Importance.
Comptroller Bird S. Coler was the
main witness examined. and he was
called to explain the refusal TO ap-
prove the issue of city bonds made by
the municipal assembly Mr.. Coler gave
lit as his opinion that the issuance of
these bonds was a matter of necessity
to the citys public works, and IL their
Issuance was not soon approved, all
the contemplated improvements would
have to be abandoned.
The comptroller did not hesitate to
make vigorous criticism of the munich
lpal assembly.
Committeeman Benjamin Hoffman
asked permission of the committee to
read letter from former Police Com
missioner Andrew D. Parker, In which
the latter demanded that he be al
lowed to deny the charges made against
Mr.. Hoffman stated that Mr.. Parker
had repeatedly appealed to Mr.. Mazet
for a hearing, but his communications
| had been ignored. The chairman then
Idecisively ruled that the letter could
not be read The tax department was
lagain under investigation, but nothing

The committee adjourned to meet to-
morrow, when Chief Devery will be

poets to make the police department

drawn from the panel. The challenge
was overruled.
There was little delay in selecting

prejudice.

with reference to the attitude of the
Vernon Bicycle Club in declining to enter
into the organization of associated clubs,
they exercised their own judgment in the
matter, and after careful consideration
came to the conclusion that it would not
be wise move for them to take. The
wisdom of their attitude is fully demon
strated by the bitterness manifested in
the recent interviews published in the
daily papers. How any combination OF
clubs can continue to exist with such a
narrow, venamous individual at the head
of the association and another like him
chairman of the racing board is liable to
prove perplexing question in the near
future.
1T is needless to deny the statements
made about the Vernons; our friends need
no denial and our enemies are not entitled
to one. 1t is sufficient to say that, de-
spite the disposition to stir up feeling
against us, we still wish the Associated
Cycle Clubs success in their undertaking,
and propose to continue to exercise the
very modest privilege of minding our own
business-when we choose to do so.
