SUGAR TRUST
UNDER FIRE
IN SENATE
HAVEMEYER, PRESIDENT OF
THE CORPORATION, AFTER
BEING SWORN, is PLACED
ON WITNESS STAND.

WASHINGTON, May 1.-The inquiry in
to the present holding Of Cuban sugar
and sugar lands, ordered by the senate,
was begun today by the subcommittee
on Cuban relations. President Henry q.
Havemeyer, of the American Sugar Re-
fining company was the first witness and
all of the members of the sub-commit-
tee, Messrs. Plat, Of Connecticut; Burn
ham and Teller, were in attendance.
Senator Patterson also was present. 9th
ers present with Mr.. Havemeyer, were
Arthur Bonner, treasurer of the COM
pany, and Henry c. Mott its raw sugar
buyer. All Of them were sworn.
Replying to questions by Senator Plat.
Mr.. Havemeyer said his company was
generally known as the sugar trust and
that its rehneries are located as follows:
I'm New Jersey one; New York. three;
Massachusetts,, two; Philadelphia two,
and one in New Orleans.
"Wil you" Senator Platt asked. tell
the committee how much Cuban sugar, If
any has been purchased and is now held
by your company"
''Since early in February last we have
purchased $1,000 tons or 256.OOO bags, or
about ten days supplies" replied the
witness.
"of that quantity 5000 tons is now in
process of shipment from Cuba"
The prices paid had, he said. ranged
from $1.75 to $1.9S, the highest prices be-
ing paid on March Is, and the lowest on
April p.
"where did you buy your raw sugar."
"AH over the world-in Cuba. Java,
Hamburg, Trieste, the British West In
dies, South America-wherever sugar is
grown"
docs the $4,000 tons you mention rep
resent your entire purchases in Cuba since
the LIST of january
IL hnxv a.
tons of Cuban sugars during the present
year, or about three-fourths of a month 5
supply, our consumption being about $1,000
tons per week"
"Do you control any sugar in Cuba 9TH
er than that purchased?'
None whatever in any manner"
"Have you taken any options on Cuban
sugar?''
Have you made any advance on any
Cuban sugar?"
None whatever"
$50 you wish to be understood as saying
that the amount you have mentioned as
having represented your entire stock d.
rect and indirect in Cuban sugars?
THAT is the statement 1 make"
Continuing Mr.. Havemeyer said the en-
tire Cuban sugar crop is about $50. 600
tons but that much of 1t has been with
held from the market in view OF possible
tariff corrections to be made by congress.
On this account the increases have been
only about onevthird of the average OF
other years. on this account. too. the
purchase had been made principally at
outports where the storage facilities were
| poor rather than. at Havana. The pur-
| chases from the outports had caused most
of the shipments to be made from these
ports rather than from Havana, where the
company has about 200 tons stored. The
purchases at the outports has caused the
sales there to be made on a parity with
the beet sugar prices.
Speaking of the capacity of his company
| he said that 1t refined 65 per cent of the
I American refined product.

treasurer bonner Gives eSttWonys
WASHINGTON, May ARTHUR Bonner,
treasurer of the American Sugar Refining
company, today testified before the senate
committee on Cuban relations concerning
American holdings of Cuban sugar. He
said that Mr.. Havemeyer's statement yes
terday to the effect that his company had
purchased $1,000 tons of sugar since the
first of January last was correct. No
more Cuban sugar could have been bought,
as none could have been purchased with
out his knowledge as treasurer of the
company. He promised Senator Platt to
send the committee memoranda showing
the purchases made and giving their dates.
All the sugar which had been purchased
had, he said. been paid for.
Senator Platt called attention to the dis
crepancy between Mr.. Havemeyer's state
ment as to purchases amounting to $1,000
tons and the returns made by the war de-
partment placing the American company 8
option at S,2s5 tons up to March 18th. but
Mr.. Bonner was not able to explain 1t.
Responding to questions put by Sena-
tor Teller, Mr.. Bonner confirmed Mr..
Havemeyers statement that of the trusts
purchases of Cuban sugar 5000 tons still
remain in Cuba. He said also that his
company dealt entirely with brokers. prin-
cipally with Zealdo & Co., Francke & Co.
and Czarknow & Co., of Havana and New
York and did not know the names of pro-
ducers. The American company had
made no advances to the Cuban planters
and had not advanced any money to the
Cuban banks for the planters
While he I'D not know. he said, he pre-
sumed there were other purchasers Of
Cuban sugar besides his own company in
the field. Asked as to realty holdings in
Cuba, he said that the trust had none
there. He knew nothing of the private
holdings of Stockholders for the trust .
"You have taken some interest in Sc
curing a reduction of sugar duties by con-
gress, have you not?" asked Mr.. Teller.
81 have not" was the reply.

the Singers, VIII Positively
Be Here.

The Executive Committee for the
Pentecost meetings have been do.
ing some fine work since their last

along satisfactorily in the way Of
arranging all the preliminaries for
the meetings to begin next Sunday.
DR.. Pentecost will arrive here

will take a rest from his arduous
labors concluded at Henderson last
Sunday.
The announcement that Mr. E.
10. Excel will be on hand next Sat.
urday and Will conduct the singing
will be received gladly by all the
people in this section. The FIRST
effort made to secure him was a
failure, but nothing daunted, Mr. J,
e. Mcpherson, the chairman of the
music committee, was determined to
have him II he had "no strings on
him. So he renewed his efforts
and at last Mr.. Excel pledged his
services. Mr.. Mcpherson told him
to ship lot of books to this place
at once, and they are expected to-
morrow or Thursday.
AS soon as the books arrive the
choirs of the different churches will
be called together for rehearsal be-
fore Mr.. Excel reaches here.
The fine singing will be one of the
features of the meetings, as MIR.
Excell's qualifications as a con-
ductor are we'll known here and all
over the country.
A systematic plan has been form
uIated by the executive committee
to induce an attendance from the
nelghboring towns and cities. Ii
expects to secure greatly reduced
rates from points on the railroads,
while the membership of the church
es in the country will be present to
hear one of the greatest evangelists
in the world.
All christians are urged to do
everything in their power to secure
d large attendance and assist the

remember that the gentlemen hav-
ing the preliminaries in their hands
are leading professional and busi-
ness men and are willingly sacri.
fcing great deal of their time to
make, as far as they can, an un-
precedented success of the meet
ings, and hence deserve all the aid
that can be given them. They have
entered upon the work with all
the energies. of their nature, and
great results may be expected.
Several business men .have ex-
pressed their willingness to close
their stores during the hours of
