WITH The TRUST
Young Hl|a;vemeyer Not in ]
Sympathy With Methods.
HIS FUNDS ARE TIED UP

Declares American Sugar Refining
Company Refuses to Transfer the
Ten Millions in Stock Held by His
Fathers Estate and the Question 10
Now the Subject Of Litigation.
Washington, June 21.-That the late
Henry o. Havemeyer. dominated and
controlled the American Sugar Rein
ing company, although he owned an
Insignificant amount Of its stock, was
acknowledged by Horace Havemeyer,
the twenty-fve-year-old son Of the su-
gar magnate, in testifying before the
house sugar trust" investigating
committee. Young Mr.. Havemeyer
admitted that while the Havemeyer
fortune was estimated at $15,0 900,
more than two-thirds of it now was
invested in the beet sugar industry.
The witness said he had been en-
gagged In the sugar business for a mum.
Der Of years, having for two years
worked for his fathers company with
out salary. In declaring that Henry
o. Hevemeyer held very little stock
in the American compay at the time
he controlled it, the witness said his
fathers holdings were only S21 Clio
shares of preferred stock and 1876
shares of common.
He estimated the par value of the
stock in the beet sugar industry nov
held by his family at $10,604,00
His retirement from the directorate
of the American Sugar Refining COM
pany was explained by young Have
meyer at the request of Chairman
Hardwick.
Wanted to Quit the Trust.
Il went West on a trip and when 1
returned" said Mr.. Havemeyer, Il had
made up my mind that l wanted to
take en- active interest in the National
Sugar Refining company. I wanted to
make a career for myself along that
line. Il vent to Mr.. Thomas, who
was Iu0U dI LILO A0oO W SnV q
and told him of my plans and notified
him that on Jan. /, 1911. I intended
to retire from the directorate of the
American.
Mr.. Havemeyer said he did not get
very far in his plans about the Ma
tional because the American Sugar
Refining company notified Mr.. Post
that it would hold him personally re-
sponsible II he transferred to Have
meyer, as desired, the $~10,000,0OO
worth of common stock Of the Ma
tional which had stood in Posts name,
for the Havemeyer estate since its is
suance, and by which Havemeyer
would have controlled the National.
The transfer of the stock and its
legality is still a subject of litigation.
''It is my intention If we win that
litigation to make the National Sugar
Refining company a real competitor
of the American Sugar Refining COM
pany, which owns a majority of the
preferred stock Of the National" said
MI. Havemeyer.
II have no interest in the American
and no sympathy with It"

ARMY Of TROOPS
|NvADES LONDON
Sixty.five Thousand Men
Encamped 10 Parks.
JAM IN STREETS

tells ando Residences In the Section
Of the City to Be Closed to Traffic
Stocking Up With Provisions.
London, June 21.-The blaring
bands and flashing uniforms Of $4,000
soldiers descended upon London dur
ing the day, giving q decided military
tinge to the preparations for the coro-
nation.
The coming Of the soldiers brought
countless thousands of sightseers to
the streets and the worst street jam
yet experienced resulted.
The soldiers marched to the various
parks where they will be encamped
until the end Of the week.
Another preparation under way that
savored of actual war times was the
stocking with provisions of hotels and
residences within the coronation area.
Owing to the closing Of street traf-
fc and the general suspension Of bust.
ness on June 20 it will be practically
impossible to procure provisions at
this time.
Enormous crowds gathered early in
the vicinity of Westminster abbey,
where the peers and peeresses fur
nished a free show, many arriving for
the coronation rehearsal wearing their
robes and carrying their coronets UNI
covered. There also were great
throngs near Buckingham palace to
watch the coming and going of the
uniformed ENJOYS attending their
majesties' reception.
There was nothing else to be seen
in the vicinity of the palace, which is
bare of decorations, but thousands
stood throughout the day peering
| through the ratings and satisfied to
watch the sentry during the intervals
between functions when the court
was resting.
Early in the day a detachment of
police were set forth to drive the beg
gars off the street. They were so
numerous, however, and so tightly
wedged at all of the points past which
the visiting ENJOYS or wealthy sight
seers were compelled to drive, that
the police were powerless to inter
fere. 1t was realized that the beggars
were ready to fight for their rights to
demand aims and the authorities are
not anxious to mar the present spec
tacle with bloodshed.
1t was finally decided to demand
police to watch the cars and restrain
them from offering violence to those
who resisted their demands.
