BUYING UP PLANTS
How the Sugar Trust Is Disarming
Beet Sugar Opposition.
MINN. CUTS BUT LITTLE FIGURE
The Single Factory in This State
Not Enough to Draw
Attacks.

Recent developments have removed all
doubt that the sugar trust is endeavoring
to obtain voice in the management OF
beet sugar fact ories in the west for both
business and political purposes The
agents of President Havemeyer,s of the
trust, have succeeded In obtaining :rea-
sonably large blocks in several 2&of the
understood in trade circles that Miehi-
gan Minnesota, Colorado and Utah beet
sugar factories are included in the we'll
developed plan Of the trust president.
Minnesota is of the least concern TO the
trust at present as it has but one fac
tory. '..-~.- 5-t Fs;h@%fx5
The trust is making no secret Of its
hope finally to secure reduction Of the
Cuban sugar duty. While it expects to
accomplish little at this session OF con-
gress, it hopes to be. in a, position 10 do
away with the greatest factor. In the op-
position in the near future. The beet
sugar interests have made the principal
fight in congress against the reduction
OF the duty. BY obtaining a voice in the
management of many Of the beet sugar
plants, the trust expects to reduce this
opposition to a minimum. The fact that
the beet sugar interests are becoming a
strong FACTOR in the sugar market makes
the move a good one from a. business
point of view.
In several purchases Of beet sugar
stock recently made by the trust in Col
orado and Utah, Havemeyer secured but
a minority interest; but this gave him
reasona Bile &repreS ntation on the boards
of directors of those companies. In other
purchases he has taken just one-half OF
the stock: The most arbitrary demand
which has yet come to the surface was
in connection with the purchase of one
half the stock of the Greeley Sugar COM
pany at Greeley, Col. Hayemeyer pur-
chased 100 acres of ground near the Gree
ley plant and prepared to install a plant
He then made a proposition to buy one
half the stock at $25 per share above par
The fact that he controlled another fac
tory but eight miles from Greeley, and
the threat to build still another to COM
pete for the business persuaded the stock
holders that it was to their interest tc
take Havemeyer into partnership. The
president of the. Greeley company says
that in a talk with Havemeyer the latter
said he was forced to buy interests in
beet sugar companies owing to the rapid
strides the industry was making:
Although there have been scme changes
in the list of officials OF the Minnesota
Beet Sugar company it is understood that
almost all of the stock is still: held by the
original investors. Local beet sugar men
say that no overtures have yet been made
by trust agents to the Minnesota com
pany Men who are interested In the
industry are closely following the de-
velopmeuts in progress in other states
and speculating on the probable tactics
of the TRUST in Minnesota. ~.

Those Not Connected With Mayor
Pleased at Gardner Verdict.
In every city department except those
over which the mayor has control, there
is satisfaction over the verdict in the
Gardner case. Probably no one has a
better appreciation of the breadth and
depth of the corruption and demoraliza-
tion in police circles than the men con-
nected with the other departments of the
city hall, and none are more pleased to
see retribution coming upon the guilty
ones. The bad name of the police depart
ment, has in a. measure reflected
upon the other city departments,
and officials of the other Depart
ments have run up against this annoying
sentiment frequently of late. 1t keeps
them busy at times to explain that Mayor
Ames has positively no control over any
city departments outside of the police de-
partment and the department of correc-
tions and charities and that there is moth
ing in common between him and his Of
ficialS and themselves.
