One Of :he 0xnard Brothers Tes-
titles Before the Sugar
Trust Investigating
Committee
ARE NOW IN BUSINESS AGAIN
After Cleaning up s75o,0o0 on Deal
the Brothers Learned Beet Sug-
ar Business and Started in
to Buck Trust.

Washington, ID. c., June 16.-A hall
million dollars profit was garnered by
the Oxnard brothers almost overnight
when they put their Brooklyn sugar
refinery, valued at 100000, into the
sugar trust" I'm 1887. according to
the testimony of Henry II. Oxnard
vice president of the American Beet
Sugar Co. before the sugar trust In
vestigating committee today.
Had the Oxnards held their trust
certificates until today. the witness
said the deal would have netted them
100000. besides the dividends on the
certificates. They sold the certificates
two years after they received them
for $750,000.
We were glad to sell out" said
Oxnard. Cut throat competition ex-
listed in those days, and unless the beet
sugar business turned out as We
thought 1t would. II was doubtful about
our keeping going"
The witness said the capitalization
Of the Brooklyn factory was only $780,
900 but the plant was worth 100000.
You would have been satisfied to
get out what you had put into IT,,
wouldn't you?" inquired Hardwick.
We'll. | don't know" was the re-
sponse. "On this little transaction
YOU cleaned up half million. Now
how much water was i'm the other
deals? How much did Captain Thorn
as maker" II don't know, we proba-
bly, were treated little better than
the others" ''WNhy?" They wanted
the name" said Oxnard. They really
bought out the Oxnard Brothers" He
said he did not stay with the trust"
but went abroad. and after studying
the beet sugar industry in Europe.
returned TO America to engage In that
business in earnest opposition to the
trust"
After a long discussion of the beet
sugar Industry and the tariff on raw
and refined sugar. Oxnard asked TO
be allowed to make statement.
"Ouite n little has been said about
the trust controlling the beet sugar re-
fneries," he said. "The trust does not
control ALL told more than twenty per
cent. of the beet sugar refining com
panies. There Is no such thing as re-
straint of trade between the beet sug-
ar people and other people. Il think
you should give the devil his due. II
the trust had not gone into the sugar
business this country would not nave
advanced as 4 has. II had money ana
brains and chemists to put into the
work"

PESTS ATTACK TREES.
Treatment is Outlined by Prot. Taft,
Michigan Expert.


Many trees. both fruit and shade,
are being threatened by various pests
and scales which have attacked them.
Prof. Taft. state inspector of nur-
series and orchards, says that soft ma
Pile trees are being attacked by the
cotton pest, which looks much like an
orange, being rather brown. Its eggs
are cotton-like. Relief from II may
be found with the following emulsion
or spray:
place two gallons Of ordinary ker-
osene I'm a warm place, either I'm a
warm room or i'm the sun, and allow
II to become as warm as possible
without danger from fire. Boil one
pound of laundry soap or whale-oil
soap in gallon of soft water until
completely dissolved. Remove the soap
solution from the fire, and while boil
ing hot add the kerosene and agitate
vigorously for ten minutes, or until
the oil is emulsified, with "a spraying
pump by forcing the liquid back into
the vessel from which II was pumped.
When the liquid Is perfectly emulsified
IL will appear creamy I'm color and will
flow evenly down the side of the ves-
sci when allowed to do so. Care should
be taken to completely emulsify the oil
and this is accomplished much more
easily when the mixture is hot. This
strong emulsion may be readily di-
Iuted with water and used, or it may
be stored away for future use. When
cold It becomes like sour milk In APP
pearance and should be dissolved in
three or four times it's bulk of hot
water before diluting with cold water
If the water is at all hard, break II
by adding a little sal-soda before put
ting I'm the soap.
small amounts OF this emulsion
may be made by using the ingredients
in small quantities but in the same
relative proportion. 1t is used at the
rate of eight or ten parts of water to
one part of emulsion"
