HAVEN YER N ADE
SUGAR DEAL WITH
MORMONS
Trust Kings First Beet Sugar
Arrangement
CUTLER TELLS COMMITTEE
CUTLER TELLS COMMITTEE
Ex-Bishop Testlfes Before InvestIsat-
ing Committee Who Send for
Head Of Mormon Church

Washington, June 23.-Inquiry into
the relationship between the Mormon
church and the American Sugar Re
filming company before the House com
mittee of inquiry into the sugar trust
disclosed Thursday that Henry o.
Havemeyers first dealings in the
beet sugar business were with the
Utah Sugar company in which the
Church of Jesus Christ and the Lat
ter Day Saints was interested.
Thomas r. Cutler, vice president
land general manager of the Utah
Idaho Sugar Refining company and
former bishop of the Mormon church
testified that of the approximately
So, 100000 paid up stock OF the Utah
Idaho company, the American Sugar
Refining company controls $6,450,O5O,
or 465,050 shares; Joseph f. Smith,
president of the Mormon church, as
trustee for the church, 49,Sl5 shares,
the estate of Henry o. Hayemeyer,
|23,174 shares and the balance is
owned by 1893 individual stockhold-
ers.
Mr. Cutler related the early history
of the beet sugar industry in Utah
dating back to the time of the or
ganization OF the Utah. Sugar com
pany in 1889 and the Idaho company
in 1903. The Mormon church became
first interested by endorsing notes of
the original company and purchasing
bonds and later was induced to buy
stock, he said. Havemeyer first en-
tered into the affairs of the company
in 1902, when at Hayemeyer's re-
quest Cutler went to New York to see
him. According to Cutler, Hayemey-
er said
1--WE have decided to go into the
beet sugar business. We think it is
bound TO become one Of the great in
dustries of this country. We have
heard of your success in the West
and sent for you to see II you couldn't
help us In establishing beet sugar
plants in any good locations.
II told Mr.. Hayemeyer that | was
not in a position to accept such a
proposition and said that all | wanted
was financial help in our own enter
pflScS. Utu He ilhuc a plOPOSabiSh
to me to supply one half of all the
capital we would need in extending
our business in good locations if we
would agree to furnish the other half
and he proposed to start the deal,
that our stockholders sell the Ameri-
can company one-half of our COM
pany."
MIR. Cutler explained that this
proposition was taken up with the
stockholders and later the deal was
closed with Mr.. Havemeyer. Ad-
journment was then taken by the
committee.

Smith, president of the Mormon
church who is summonded to appear

PHELPS MUST DIE
Says Massachusetts Supreme Court
in Murder Case.

Boston. June 23.-The conviction of
Silas N. Phelps, aged SO, for the muir
der of Emmett f. HaslSins at the
home Of the defendant in Charlemont
was upheld by the full bench of the
supreme court Wednesday. Defen-
dants exceptions were overruled. He
must suffer death in the electric
chair.
He had been employed at the Ram
age paper company in Munroe. He
was discharged by Supt. Penman
June II, 1910, and he stabbed Pen
man. About four o'clock the follow
ing morning Sheriff Haskins with a
posse of six persons went to Phelps
home The latter refused to admit
the deputy or to come out. Finally
he fired Il shot, killing the sheriff
Phelps escaped to the woods, but
was caught
A number of exceptions were taken
in regard to the admissibility OF eyi-
dence, all of which the court over
lruled. One exception was that the
sheriff had no warrant and so was a
trespasser, which justified the defend
ant in firing the shot. The court
holds the sheriff had a right to force
an entrance into the house, having
suspected the defendant of stabbing
| Penman.

Stokes SAYS GIRLS
THREATENED TO
KILL HIM
CIubman Swears to Charges OF
Blackmail and Murder
STARTLED BY FLAsHLlGHT
States That Lillian Graham DIscios-
ed an Agreement with Conrad
Girl to XIII Him.

New York, June 23.--W. e. d.
Stokes of the Hotel Ansonia appeared
in court Thursday at the hearing of
his case against Lillian Graham and
Ethel Conrad in the District Attor-
eny's library. Standing before Mag
istrate Freschi he swore to the COM
plant charging the young women
with attempted murder.
AS Mr.. Stokes left the car In which
he had been taken to the court pho
tographer's fashlight went off with
a roar. Mr.. Stokes was so startled
that he would have fallen had he not
been supported by his companion. He
was so weak and exhausted from the
shock that he waited several minutes
before going into the building, and
inside he had to rest for some time
before he felt strong enough to APP
pear before the Magistrate.
Then Mr.. Stokes was taken to AS
sistant District Attorney Sullivan's
office, where he was soon joined by
Magistrate Freschi and the two de-
PENDANTS, Miss Conrad and Miss Ora
ham, who were accompanied by their
counsel Clark l.. Jordan. 1t was
understood that Magistrate Freschi
was opposed to going on with the ex-
animation at that time and that the
conference was to decide on what
charge the two defendants should be
arraigned at the Magistrates hear
ing.
The Magistrate announced that the
plaintiff had made complaint Of at
tempted murder and asked that he
stand and swear to it. Mr. Stokes
arose and swore to the complaint In
a strong voice. The two girls turned
back and looked at him quizzically
while he was standing.
Mr.. Stokes rose and swore to this
addition also. Magistrate Freshi an
nounced that he you'd not raise the

Tomorrow Bennington will again
play the Empire Athletic club Of
Schenectady at Morgan park. Those
who witnessed the game here on
June pronounced 1t one Of the best
of the year The Schenectady team
was composed of young, active play
ers who fielded in fine shape and
showed considerable speed on the
bases. Had they been able to make
another hit or two off Johnny Bosk
they would have won the game. The
Tudor park game is with North Ad-
ans and Bennington should win in
order to keep its lead in the league
series.
