REMEMBERS OPPOSITION
Stockholders Annual Meeting Inquires Into the Late Presidents
 Connections.

New York Jan. S.--A policy of pub licity in the affairs of the American Sugar Refining company will be fav- ored by w. B. Thomas, acting presi- dent of that company. according to an announcement which he made at the annual meeting of the stockholders of that company held in Jersey City to- day.
 Claus A. Spreckles declared before the meeting that he was determined to discover what property the company owned and where the property of the company ends and the estate of H. o. Havemeyer begins.
 MT. Thomas, at the meeting saiG that the policy of the late President Henry O. Havemeyer, was that all the financial information required by law should be made public, but that the stockholders should decide whether , any more should be done. MT. Have meyer believed that the value of as- sets was a matter of opinion and diff ficult to determine.
 MT. Thomas believed MT. Have meyers policy had been fully justified in the past, but he now believed a policy of publicity desirable in view of the conditions which corporations now confront. The directors were of the opinion, he said, that substantial re- serve should be maintained to meet the exigencies of business.
 The business in the last year had been satisfactory and the company is in a strong financial condition. MT Thomas said. He advocated increas- ing the number of directors from sev- en to nine.
 MT. Spreckles moved, and the stock holders adopted a motion, that a full statement of the properties and sub sidiary companies owned by the American Sugar Refining company should be made.
 MT Sprcckles opposed, but the stockholders adopted motion to pre- serve the accumulated surplus as a woy ing capital.
 John E. Parsons of New York and c. H. Frazier of Philadelphia were reelected directors, and Horace Have meyer was chosen a director to sue ceed his father, the late president.
 Mir. Spreckles moved that the earn ings of the company be included in the statement of the properties own ed. President Thomas said the di- rectors would regard this suggestion favorably in preparing the statement, but the Spreckles amendment was adopted. The bylaws were amended so as to increase the board of direc- tors from seven to nine. fm
 The action of the board of directors on January ? in reserving the accumu- lated profits and surplus as a working capital was approved by the stock holders despite protest by MT Spreckles. The amount of the sur plus was unknown to the stockholders. Gilmer Ciapp, stockholder, said that the amount of the surplus would be made known as soon as possible.

Secretary w. H. Taft Tuesday after
noon as he sat with his class of '7S IN
the stand on Yale field to see the an

crimson. His cup of happiness was
filled to overlooking, for not only was
the crowd a record breaking one In
his honor and the classes the noisiest
ever in their dances on the green
sward. but Yale whipped her rival by
a score of 8 to 0 in game which was
full of better playing than either team
has shown this season. AS an omen of
good luck Secretary Taft, marching
with Judge HOLSTER in the front rank
band which constantly played the
stirring Yale airs and fanked on
either side by the stars ana stripes
and the banner of the class of '7S.
marched twice around the ball field IN
full view of more than $4,000 wildly
cheering men and women. The class
OF rs with Mr.. Taft at its head
swung onto the field at 8 o'clock and
then began the procession which for
more than thirty minutes was one
great moving band of color ana ac-
ton. Stand after stand swung into

The ball game was good one. The
intensity of the moments as they pass

of Harvard for many innings was a
restraining factor on the spirits of the
enthusiastic young men in the STANDS,
but when in the seventh inning they
cut loose and scored two runs, max
ing the final score 3 to in favor of
Yale, the Yale men made up in a few
minutes for all the time they had held
their exuberancein bounds. Secretary
Taft's tribute to the team and its cap

Jones stepped up to bat Up rose the
secretary and the class with him and
the band in front played "For God. FOR
Country and for Yale" and one more
wave of cheering swept round and
round the field. AS soon as the game
was over Secretary Taft passed out OF
the stand and in the midst of a knot
of friends he shook hands with a great

would never make a ball player. But
the big dub. who was no other than
our own Cy Landreth, got a chance in
the game one day and garnered as
many hits as Cole could get in a week.
The two alternated after the pennant
had been cinched. In 1907 Cooley was
making out his lineup for the season
and in left field Landra n was taking
the place of Cole, although the latter
had pronounced him dub. Old Cy
was a little slow at first and couldn't
get along with Hurlburt when the lat
ter took the team. Several expert
ments were tried for the rest of the
season, but none could take the place
of Cy and his trusty willow. By some
he was said to be ball player. Spec

ham did not think so. But you can't
keep a good man down and Cy received
another chance this spring. Cooley
though well of him but even Dick
somewhat doubted his ability to keep
his stride throughout the season. He
had chince to get Kennedy, "a finished
outfielder and Landreth started the
present season on the bench. Kennedy
looked more graceful in the outfield
than Cy ever could, but he could not
pole out the hits that meant the runs
and in less than week, Cyrus was Il
fixture in the center garden. Today
Cy is. feared more than any other bat
ter in the Western Association. and he
would be snatched up by any manager
should he be turned loose. But he
won't. Cooley could place him with
three or four clubs in higher circuits
than the Western Association on a
moments notice and put a nice little
roll of paper money in his jeans.
