PROPHET SMITH ID
 APPEAR TOMORROW
Seek Further Insight Into Mormon Church and
 Sugar People

Washington, June 24-The inquiry into the Colorado group of beet sugar fac tories controlled by the American Sugar Refining company, through the Great Western Sugar company, was concluded today by the House sugar trust inves- tigating committed. Next week the so- called sugar trust interests in California industries will be taken up. John D. Spreclsies will be witness, as also will Claus Spreckles upon his return from Europe
 Further insight into the relations of the Mormon church and the American Sugar Refining company. will be sought Monday from Prophet Joseph F., Smith, head of the Mormon church. Both Prophet Smith, who is president of the Utah-Idaho Sugar company, and holds as trustee for his people nearly 50,0oO shares of stock, and Bishop Nibley, bus mess manager of the church, are en route here
 ' President Chester s. Mercy of the Great Western Sugar company was the only witness today. Chairman Hardwick brought in the name of former United States Senator Burkett of Nebraska by questioning MT, Mercy about the Great Westerns establishment of a beet sugar factory at Scotts Bluff, Neb.
 Mr. Hardwick explained that MT. Bur kett first, was reported to be lined up with Senator Brstow and other repub- lcans who wanted to reduce the tariff on sugar and that when people in his state became interested in a beet sugar proposition he changed his mlnd MT Mercy said he knew nothing about It.
 Removal of the tariff on sugar, Mr. Mercy said, would kill the beet sugar business.
 would considerable tariff reduction affect the business?' Representative Nal by asked -f
 Tt certainly would. We are running on a close margin now and tariff reduc- tion would certainly operate to our dis advantage"
 Chester S. Mercy of Denver Col, who succeeded H. O. Havemeyer as president of the Great Western Sugar company, upon MT. Havemeyer's death, resumed the witness stand today.
 Mr. Mercy said the American Sugar Refining company now owns 33 per cent of the Great Western stock and the Havemeyer estate 35 per cent.
 "Then the representatives of MT. Have meyers estate and the American Sugar Refining company control a majority of the Western Sugar stock?" asked Repre- sentative Malby.
 "Yes, that is correct was the reply.

Paris, June 24.-Among those mentioned as possible successors to Premier Monis, whose cabinet fell yesterday, are Joseph Caillaux, the minister of finance; former Premier Clemenceau, former Premier Briand, who stepped down only last Feb ruary and Theophile Delcasse, the min ister of marine.
 Nothing definite will be known until President Fallieres returns iron Rouen tomorrow. when he will formally receive the resignations of the ministers.
 The press, in seeking the causes lead- ing Up to the retirement of Monis and his associates, is generally agreed lat their defeat was due to ths dissatisfse- ton of many deputies formally attached to the government bloc with the cabi-

determination to veto the Canadian reciprocity in case any amendment Is added to it.
 Senators accept the Presidents ulti- matum on reciprocity as applicable to modification which might be made at the instance of republicans as well as democrats and say that 1t would have the effect of preventing any agreements or amendments for tariff changes.
 Many senators have received tele- grams and letters announcing a pur- pose on the part of the farmers to test the constitutionality of the proposed reciprocity law. if it receives less than a two-third majority in the Senate. This position Is taken on the ground that as the bill carries in effect the pro visions of treaty 1t should receive the vote in the Senate necessary to render treaty effective. The friends of the e'measure do not concede the point but they are claiming the two-thirds.

nets adhesion to the plan for election reform involving proportional represen- tation in elections or the recognition of the minor parties, as well as the ma jority in voting districts
 Many deputies, elected under the pres ent majority system. are said to fear they would lose their seats under a law of proportional distribution. It is declared that deputies hostile to any change in the election system seized as pretext to vote against the government. Secre- tary of War Goiran's statement that the present organization of the army did not provide for a supreme head in time of war. This is quite in accord with the history of past changes of ministry, AS in the case of Clemenceau and Briand, when unexpected Issue either caused their overthrow or led to their resignation be- cause of the feeble majority the govern ment was able to secure.
