would give sugar away, he declared,
rather than be run out Of these markets
entirely-at least he would go as far in
that direction as the directors OF the COM
pany would permit.
He denied fatty that he had said, as
reported in the newspapers, that he
would recover that trade or drive the
beet men out Of existence. He had re-
covered the trade. however. and the price
in the Missouri River territory was now

New Orleans. plus the freight from there
The way to control trade was TO mako

buy. He did not bother about the other
refiners, except when they attempted to
take more than fair percentage of trade.
Then they would tight, OF course.
Asked by Mr.. Teller If he had ever said
he would crush the life out of the beet
sugar industry. Mr.. Havemeyer denied
making any such statement and said he
was Interested in beet sugar manufactu
ing himself. But, outside OF that fact, he
did not think IT good policy.
AS TO the product of beet sugar. Mr..
Havemeyer said he could not give the
exact figures, but thought this year Cali
fornia would produce 10000 tons and other
States 100 600 tons, making a total of
cane sugar on the Pacific Coast. which
was supplied by the beet product, and
even the Hawaiian cane crop refined in
San Francisco was shipped 10 the East by

shin OF Cuban sugar lands by the trust,

COLUMBIA INSTITUTE
FOR CARE OF blind
Secretary's Annual Report
Shows Great Progress.
A STUPEND0US UNDERTAKING
Number of Afflicted Employed Rapidly
Observation-Disclosures of Capital at
Disposal of Institutional Plea to
Congress.

| Columbia Polytechnic Institute for the
Blind of this city. in its annual report
! Just issued, shows that considerable prog
ress has been made in the work for the
| unfortunate blind OF Washington. Included
in the report is statement of the treas
| urer, Richard p. Williams. The secretary
says:
1T is with great qualification that we
are able in this report to show that the
| institution promises to fully realize the
hope and expectation of its friends in Sc
| curing desired results, namely: first that
| the blind and the public shall be Impress
cd that the powers and possibilities of
the sightless are worth developing, and
that the obligations of the public are not
fulfilled by giving aims: second, that an
opportunity for the employment of the
adult blind OF the District shall be af-
forded: and, third, that the standard set
up at the National Capital shall be worthy
of emulation throughout the country.
An Enormous Task.
ITO undertake the accomplishment of
this task with a capital of only $1,000 at
it's command may well have been consid
cred a foolhardy venture by those less
sanguine of success, or rather by those
whose knowledge of what blind people are
able to accomplish, is measured by the
popular conception of the disability which
blindness entails.
1T was not considered polite to ask
for a larger sum, for, in the minds OF
our critics, $1,000 appeared to be enough
10 fool away in attempting what they
considered an impossibility.
We are willing, however, to be judged
by the results shown in this report, feel
ing confident that we are now able TO
convince the most skeptical of the prac-
ticabillty of our undertaking. II was not
until May !, 1901, that the management
was put into possession OF the premises
1905 H Street northwest, purchased OF the
American Security Company for $4,000,
under an agreement permitting of a
nominal payment for the first year, to be
followed by annual installments Of $500
each on the principal. plus interest and
insurance AS the sum of $4,000 repre-
scented little more than onc-half the cost
of this property and was the sum loaned
by the American Security Company on
first mortgage the committee. consisting
of ex-Gov. Sidney D. Perham, Hon. Joseph
r. Hawley. and the Rev. H., ~. Couden,
ID. D., deemed the requirement of this
property an exceedingly fortunate one. es-
pecially when the location and It's adapt
ability for the purposes of the institution
are considered. 30
MAY and June were largely given up
to making necessary alterations ia3d in
stalling furniture, machinery, and gen
eral equipment. t,-.,s. -.
