able young senator from Idaho Wi,h a
kindly eye. But Tuesday it came ont
from a high source that actual over
lures had been made to Senator
Borah to get him TO take the nomina-
tion for vice president. He has been
given to understand he can have the
administration support.
1t is admitted on all hands that Sen

ADOPTS NEW GOVERNMeN
City of Trentop Votes In Favor of
Commission Form.

Trenton, n. j., June 2l.-At a spe-
cial election the voters OF Trenton
adopted the provisions OF the Walsh
act of last winter providing for com
mission form of government, W.T.
most of the radical features that are
being tried out in number OF the
cities of the west and south.
The majority in favor of the propo
sition was 1902, the vote being G192
for and 1890 against.
Under the Walsh act the entire
present system of government will be
wiped out in the city, whose affairs
will be placed in complete control OF
an elective commission of five mem
bers, exercising both legislative and
administrative functions. The com
missioners will elect one of their mem
bers, who will be the putative mayor
of the city. They will hold office for
four years, unless the recall feature OF
the act should be placed in operation
in the meantime. The initiative and
referendum are among the other fea-
lures of the act accounted upon to add
to the novelty of the new scheme of
government.

HAvEMEYER'SSON
TO BUCK TRUST
Wants to Get Control Of Ma
tIonaI Sugar Company.
FAMILY CASH IN BEET COS.
His Suit For $1o,ooo.ooo "Gift Stock"
Part of Plan to Fight Company His
Father Ran on "Shoestring."

Washington, June 81. - With the
frankness of youth, Horace HaVemey-
er, the twenty-five-year-old son OF the
late sugar king, HI. o. Havemeyer, told
the house sugar trust Investigating
committee of his plans to fight the
American Sugar Refining company
the trust which his father built up
Incidentally the young sugar man de-
Tended every action OF his father and
denounced those who would condemn
him.
In brief the plan of the youthful
Mr.. Havemeyer is to procure from the
courts the right to vote the S10,000,00O
worth of common stock in the Ma
tional Sugar Refining company now in
the name of James II. Post, buy
enough of the preferred stock OF that
company to make a majority Interest,
and then manage the company in op
position to the American Sugar Rein
ing company
Fortune Invested In Beet Sugar.
This $10,OG0,000 common stock is
the reward" given to the elder Mr.
Havemeyer for engineering the com
bination. 1t has been held in trust
by Mr.. Post, who has refrained from
voting it to prevent change in the
officers of the company incidentally
the witness admitted that his father
had controlled the American Sugar
Refining company on shoe string
and that the greater part of the family
fortune was invested in beot sugar.
Of his plan to buck the trust
Havemeyer said: u want 10 make a
career for myself have no in-e est
in tie American company and no SYM
pathy with those who are running it
LEW"
Then he went over many things IN
the record of his father, defending his
action always and now and then eX
pressing his idea that mbination

of commercial concerns was a good
thing and that the industrial advance
ment of the United States was due to
trusts "
Mr.. Havemeyer declared it his be-
lief that his father acted from philan-
thropiC motives in organizing the first
sugar combination in 1887. He told
my aunt" he said, that the companies
would either go busted" or be taken
Z MIRO 4 Tr75iSii1iiIff if non foiI -
The reason his father sold his hold
ings in the American Sugar Refining
company when he was its president,
the son said was because he did not
want any one to say he was managing
the American for his personal benett.
Havemeyer said his mother told him
this was his fathers idea.
About the only person father talk
ed affairs with was my mother or my
aunt Once a mani think his name
was Whte-said father was manag-
ing the company for his personal ben.
eft. 1t made him so sick he decided to
get rid of his stock. He did get $780,
900 salary as president, but he was
running the American, and they have
not had one like him since"
Mr. Havemeyer declared the COM
bination of three companies into the
National Sugar Refining company had
the effect of increasing trade
gested Mr. Hardwiek, the chairman
No" corrected Mr.. Havemeyer. THE
production of the National has been
100 per cent greater than that of the
three separate companies"
"Oh, will admit that competition
was reduced" added the witness a
moment later But through the Ma
tional these properties were put upon
their feet and made able to compete
harder with outside companies"
Fortune In Beet Sugar.
Havemeyer admitted that while the
Havemeyer fortune was estimated at
SIS 100000. more than two-thirds OF it
now was invested III the tect sugaI
industry
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 if he transferred to Have
meyer, as desired. the s10.000.000 of
common stock of the National, which
mad stood In Posts name for the Have
meyer estate since its issuance and by
which Havemeyer would have con
trolled the National The transfer of
the stock and its legality is still sub
iect of litigation,
IT is my intention if We win that
litigation 10 make the National Sugar
Refining company real competitor of
the American Sugar Refining com
pany, which owns majority of the
preferred stock Of the National" said
Mr.. Havemeyer. II have no interest

NO RUSSIANS
FOR HAWAII

The International immigration Com,
pany, in which f. b. McStocker, w. II.
Hoogs, w. w. Harris, G. o. White and
others are interested with Immigra-
ton Agent Perelstrous, is shipping
considerable numbers of Russians to
both Canada and Australia, according
to statements made this morning by
McStocker and Hoogs No attention
is being paid to Hawaii nor is it the
intention of the company to devote
its energies to attempts to colonize
Russians here. A few Russians are
coming to Hawaii but these are only
the friends and relatives of Russians
already here who have sent for them.
Those who are being sent to Canada
and Australia are immigrants of suf-
| ficient means to pay their own pas
sage and land with the requisite
amount of money in their pockets.
The headquarters of the company
are located in Honolulu merely for
convenience. There are two vice
presidents in order that one may 90

Pope Replies
To HiIO Man

Superintendent Pope, of the Public
Instruction Department has replied
to the assertions of Supervisor Lewis
of TIilo, refuting everything alleged
against the department by the man
from Hawaii. The superintendent has
explained how some supervising prin-
cipals get more money than others.
The fact that some of them have as
many as nineteen schools to look aft
er, while others have a lesser num-
Der, is one OF the reasons that sal
aries differ
AS all supervising principalst have
been selected from these who have
in the past been principals of schools
it stands to reason that the supervis
ing principals have the necessary
qualifications for their position said
Superintendent Pope.
The information that is desired by
Supervisor Lewis is contained in re
ports of the department, and the Su
/ perintendent says that these report
are circulated among the commission
ers of public instruction.

trustees of the Honolulu Chamber of
Commerce has been called for three
O'Clock this afternoon.

tomorrow evening at Merchants As

prepared and work will start as soon
