Agreed to Combine.

"I think it was Havemeyer," said
Mr.. Spreckels. "When we entered tho
east in the fight, of course both my
father and Mr.. Havemeyer realized
thev were losing money. They came to
their senses, and in short came together
and concluded that such a fight was
of no use 1t resulted in a consohda
ton of the plants in the east and the
formation of the Western Sugar Re
ining company in California which
took over the American Sugar Rein
ing company plant and our plant there
"The American plant in the west
was closed down. Each side took q
half interest in the new company. In
the east the entire Philadelphia Spreck-
els plant was eventually sold to the
American Sugar Refining company
That was, ! think, in 1892. y

Denies Monopoly,

In answer to questions by Represen
tative Kinds, Mr.. Spreckcls said the
American Sugar Refining company did
not have monopoly Of the sugar busi
ness of the country
"If their motive in coming to Cali
fornia was to mopopolize tho sugar
business, they did not succeed, Mr.
Spreckels declared
"Well, the American Sugar Refining
company having half Of your stock. are
you conscious Of competition with them
in Missouri river territory?' asked
Mr. Kinds,
ooh. yes was the reply, ''Wc
compete with their New Orleans and
New York output in that territory.
"Well, does not the American Sugar
Refining company, owning half the
stock Of the Western Sugar Refining
company, have veto power in that
company?'
"No. Ny brother, my son, our at

Views of Secretary.

In announcing the decision of the de.
partment today, Secretary Fisher, who
succeeded NJ. Ballinger, declared that
new coal land laws are needed in
Alaska if that territory is to be de-
veloped properly. In a statement the
secretary says:
"This is final decision of the Gun
nipgham claims so far as the depart
ment of the interior is concerned. Any
further proceedings will be merely
formal for the purpose Of perfecting
the record in case the claimants think
there are questions Of law which they
desire to present to the courts. 1t is
my understanding that it is conceded
that the findings upon the facts by the
department are conclusive.
EEIt is the intention of the depart
ment TO proceed at once to n final de-
termination Of all the remaining Alas
kan coal claims so far as this can prop
erly be done, denying those that should
be denied, and granting those that
should be granted, as rapidly Is posi-
ble

Laws Not Practicable.

81 do not believe the present laws
applicable to coal lands in Alaska are
wise or practicable laws, Neverthe.
less the provisions must be enforced,
first, because they are the law, and sec.
oud, because they afford the only pro-
lection to the public welfare against
the abuses of monopoly and unrestrict-
ed private explorations, ] sincerely
trust that these laws will be modified
at the next session Of congress so as
to permit the development of the
Alaskan coal lands under provisions
that will moro adequately protect and
promote the public interest. If, how.
ever. there are claims now pending
which under the existing laws are en-"
titled to patent, ] see no justification
for not taking action upon them as
promptly as the department can be as
surod that it is in possession Of the
facts upon which such action can ul.
timately be taken

Competition Ended.

"After that there never was any
competition between Spreckels and
Havemeyer, was there?" Mr.. Madison
inquired.
"No. but there has since been plenty
of other competition.
Mr.. Spreckels also described how Mr..
Havemeyer became associated with
them in 1897 in the Spreckels Beet Su'
gar company in the erection of the
largest beet sugar plant in the world
He further related the history Of an
agreement in 1908 between the West
ern Sugar Refining company with n
rival concern-the California Hawaiian
Sugar company, whereby the plant of
the latter was leased by the former and
shut down for three years. Eventually
il was turned back to the original own.
ers and is again competitor. This
transaction, Mr.. Spreckels said, he was
advised by counsel. WAS not a violation
OF the Sherman antitrust law,
The witness declared that in his opin-
ion free trade in sugar would ruin
the beet sugar business and, he prophe-
sled, that with the tariff on sugar let
alone. California alone could furnish
enough sugar from beets TO supply the
entire United States. and to warrant
the tariff protection of the industry.

DECLARES WISCONSIN SEN ATOR

FOR PRESIDENT.

WASHINGTON, Sept 3.-Declaring
that Senator La Foietta, of Wisconsin,
possesses all the qualifications for
president Senator Jonathan Bourne.
Jr. of Oregon. founder and president
OF the National Progressive Repub-
| lican League, to-day issued pubic
statement in which he endorsed the
Wisconsin senator for the Republican
nomination as against President Taft.
Senator Bourne's statement Is IN
the nature of a challenge to big bust
ness and meets the charge of judi
cialism which has been lodged against
La Toilette by placing against this
statement the legislation enacted IN
Wisconsin under the leadership of La
Toilette. Senator Bourne said.
why have l been so insistenuy
for Senator La Toilette for presi-
dent9 Because he has many OF the
qualifications which belieTe are alb
solutely necessary for a man to pos
sess in order to properly I'LL the high
office of the nations chief public ser
want. He believes In popular. not
delegated government; realizes that
general welfare, not selfish interest,
must be the motive power OF all sue
cessful government. He Is honest,
courageous. able. dynamic, with TWEEN
ty-fve years experience in legisla-
tive and executive public life. Though
radical In manner, he Is extremely
conservative in thought and action.
with high ideals. broad ideas and
strong convictions. General welfare
Is his goal and selfish interest his
abomination.
Il urge the big business interests to
study the laws OF Wisconsin enacted
since he was first governor of that
State; hold him. as the dynamic per-
sonallty Of that electorate, responsible
for all those laws. IL investigation
shows them to be protective of per-
