 MT. Heike was unable to explain why President Havemeyer had such a control over the American, if he only held in his own name comparatively few shares. Again MT Beck inter rupted to suggest that possibly more shares were held in the name of brokers as was sometimes done iu New York.
 The stockholders were apparently satisfied to re-elect the directors from year to year." said MT. Heike in ex- planation of MT. Havemeyer's powers
 Did ne secure the proxies of stock holders?" inquired MT. Garrett.
 The witness responded that he did and when asked the manner in which the proxies were collected, said: T sent notices out every time to each stockholder. l would say the term expires of three directors, if you please to be present to vote. If you have no time to come, we will vote for you, and unless otherwise d. rected, We will vote for the three whose office expired"
 And they always wrote you to go ahead and do that?"
 Then, forgetting, seemingly, the re- serve which had characterized his testimony, MT. Heike launched forth into defense of the corporation. The occasion of this divergence was a re- mark that there are 19,000 stock holders in the American Sugar Refin- ing Company.
 Tlere are about 4,S00 stockholders with dividends of about $330 year, or $1 day.
 The company also has between ten and eleven thousand laboring men. They get $2 d day, or more. Conse- quently, we have about 30,000 people of which there are 19,O00 capitalists who get a dollar day and the rest laborers who get two dollars day. And yet they are down on the cor porations."

 "As this amount is greatly in ex- cess of the sum paid by the depart ment for other similar portraits" said Secretary Root in ais letter to Nr.
