WASHINGTON r. THOMAS AGAIN
BEFORE THE CONGRESS
sioNAL COMMITTEE.
THOMAS SEES NO EVIL IN TRUST
John ArbuekIe ~ and Can Not Ap-
pear Before Committee But VIII be
Visited BY the subcommittee and
His Testimony Taken.
(By Associated Press.)

New York. July 19.-More secrets
of the American Sugar Refining Com
pany, known as the sugar trust"
were developed today when Washing
ton r. Thomas, chairman of the board
of directors, resumed the stand be-
fore the Congressional investigating
committee. Mr. Thomas admitted his
company could manufacture sugar as
cheaply, or nearly SO, as 1t is as a
rule in any other country. 1t is owing
to the tariff, he thought, that the price
of sugar here is higher than in Eng
land. Thomas said America makes
less than fifty per cent of the sugar
used in this country and that there
fore there is no monopoly.
Mr. Thomas could see no present
evil in the company or its methods, al
though he said he did not agree with
the policy in vogue under the late H.
o. Havemeyer.
John Arbuckle, whom the commit
tee considered the most important
! witness it was to question here, is so
ill at Mohonk Lake, ~ Y, that a sub
committee consisting of Representa-
tives Garrett of Tennessee, and Madi-
son, of Kansas was appointed by
Chairman Hardwick to go' there to
take his testimony. They probably
will go Friday. Mr.. Arbuckle is ex-
tpeeted to give much information of
the big sugar war between his COM
pany and the American and more par
ticularly the terms of settlement. 1t
has been said that only two men knew
what those terms were, Mr.. 'Arbuckle
and Mr.. Havemeyer. Havemeyer is
dead.
What was regarded as perhaps the
most important testimony yesterday
was statement by Thomas that the
American Sugar Refining Company is
thoroughly in sympathy with the suit
in New Jersey to retire and invalidate
the common stock of the National
Sugar Refining Company. The Ameri-
can owns most of the preferred stock
In that company andl Mr.. Thomas said
the preferred stock would be greatly
enhanced by the retirement of the
common stock. It would also give the
American absolute control of what is
said to be its greatest competitors.
Mr.. Raker got Mr.. Thomas to admit
that the board of directors was prac-
tically self-supporting: that not to his
knowledge, had director ever been
elected who had been opposed by the
existing board,
Representative Raker brought out
the information from Mr.. Thomas
that Willet & Gray, publishers of a
sugar price list in New York, were
= sugar brokers for the American, AT
4 buckle and Spreckels refineries. Mr.
e Raker said that indicated to him thai
l. there was no competition between
r these interests. Mr.. Thomas denied
s this.
Questions relative to the American
acquiring the Pennsylvania Sugar Re
flning Company of Philadelphia wer'
ruled out as improper, as Mr.. Thoma,
l. is under Federal indictments with 9th
