Claus Augustus spreckels
Tells What Happened
When He Was at War

STORY BORDERS ON
THE SENSATIONAL
Settlement of the Contest
Between Big Interests in
Which All the Parties
Made Millions.

BY Associated Press.
ATEW YORK, July 22,-Claus Aug.
nj ustus Spreckels. son of the late
| Y Claus Sprcckels of California and
principal owner OF the Federal
Sugar Refining company of Yonkcrs,
n. Y, today gave the most sensational
testimony that has been developed by
the congressional committee investigat-
ing the sugar trust during the hearings
here
Besides giving an important sidellght
OH the conference between John Ar
buckle and the late Fl. O. Havemeyer,
which is believed to have ended the
great sugar war, he described, under
oath, the vicissitudes OF an indepen-
dent sugar rcflner. lie said his plant
III Philadelphia before it was con-
trolled by the trust had been put out
of commission several times by persons
who threw sand III the machinery bear
lngs and otherwise wrecked the plant.
Rats Placed in Barrels.
He swore that mt the Yonkers refin
cry after he had turned down trust
overtures, dead rats were placed IN
barrels of sugar ready for shipment
and that whole watts of liquid sugar had
been drained off in the night into the
sewers. The nuisance of dead rats con.
tinued until private detectives pointed
out several of his employees whom he
discharged, refusing to pay their wages
IN the hope that they would sue him
and thus enable him to question them
under oath as to who had employed
them. Much to his disappointment he
was never sued.
Mr.. Sprcckels declared that II. o.
TIavcmeyer. Theodore Havemeyer and
John T., Searles, all then officers OF
tie American Sugar Refining company
and now dead, purchased half interest
in the California refineres, to end the
Spreckels sugar war, for S2.225 900 in
cash, and six months later sold that In
terest TO the American Sugar Refin.
ing company for S5,000.000 in pre-
ferred stock which at that time was
worth $l20 share, or $6,000,000,
Big Hawaiian Deal.
Interesting points in Mr., Spreckels s
testimony included his assertion that III
four years he had made $2,0o0,000 in
Hawaiian sugar plantation on a cash
investment of $4,000. Since starting
the Federal refinery ten years ago by
q cash payment of $3,500,000 for eX-
pertinent, he has paid 6 per cent diri-
dends on that $3.500,000 regularly. he
said on the preferred stock and has
turned earnings to an equal amount
back into the Improvement of the plant.
Representative Garrett of Tennessee
asked Mr.. Spreckels if he knew any
thing about the conference between
John Arbuckle and II. O.. Havamcyer,
which was supposed to have ended the
sugar war.
"Yes, something he said. "Soon
after that conference John Arbuckle
came to me and said, I've just had a
little talk with Henry o. Havemeyer.
He said an understanding had been
reached: that there was nm over. pro

START WAR ON TAFT.
Newspaper Man Who Heads LaFol.
lette Movement Crjtjcizes prae;d>n%

Washington, Nov. pa fire of
criticism was aimed at President Taft
today in a statement issued by Medill
Mccormick, now one of the active
managers of the LaFollette presiden.
tial campaign 1t was the opening of
the direct attack on Taft and his poli.
cies, planned by the LaFollette SUD-
porters.
Il imagine it is not forgotten" Nc.
Cormick says, in part, that Mr.. Taft's
most active supporters in the 1903
convention were those very republi-
cans who are now actively opposed
to his denomination. They believed.
by reason of his association with Mr..
Roosevelt, and for other reasons. Mr..
Taft was best fitted to carry out the
unfinished policies of his predecessor.
During the first special session of
congress. great many were bitterly
disappointed when he signed the tariff
bill. Later. they were startled by his
praise of Aldrich, whom they hold re-
sponsible for the tariff law which VIC.
lated party pledges. They were
shocked by the Winona speech.
when the Ballinger-Pinchot CON
troversy resulted in the dismissal of
CLAWS and Pinchot, and eliminated in
the discovery that the so-called Wick
ersham report had been antedated bv
direction of the president, like a good
many other progressives, l began to
doubt Mr.. Taft's qualifications for the
presidency.
Senator Cummins was called to
Washington to attend executive eau.
cuses on the railroad bill, but after
the first visit he was never asked to
return. Railroad presidents were
called to the White House. The pur.
pose of the bill finally drafted was to
permit the elimination of competition
in the railroad world.
"The administration railroad bill
went to congress with notice that it
must not be touched. In congress, the
prOgressives amended the bill The
president proceeded to punish the pro-
gressives. He was not ashamed to use
his patronage to- cOerce republicans
who dared to differ with him in a
single bill. In this matter of patron
age, the presidents course can be
commended neither for it's morals, it's
logic nor it's political wisdom.
'As Senator Cummins pointed out,
in every one of the problems that has
confronted this administration, the
president has sided with those who
are opposed to the legitimate de-
mands of the people. Not that he is
not a well-meaning president, but be-
cause he is unable to understand the
needs Of the times and the aspira-
tions of the American people, and he
is unable to apprehend his own in
consistencies.

TEDDY'S VIEWS DISTURBING.

Official Washington Decline to Com
ment on Coionel's Latest Outbreak.
New York, Nov. 22.-Official Wash
ington, preferring to maintain silence
upon the declaration of Theodore
Roosevelt upon the subject Of legisla-
ton affecting big business" united in
the view that the new Roosevelt
broadside was in effect an announce
ment Of the opening Of a campaign
for the next presidential nomination.
Linked with Roosevelt in the official
gossip was the name of Robert NJ. La
Toilette, of Wisconsin.
The politically wise thought they
read in the stars which the colonel
knocked from the trusts armament
the making of a political slate in
which he is to head the ticket, with
LaFOllette, as a representative OF the
progressive element of the middle
west, as his running mate. There did
not appear to be any serious doubt in
any quarter that this was the logical
result Of the Roosevelt pronuncia-
mento This political view was taken
of the case.
1t was surprising that President
Taft and the members Of his official
family declined today to comment up
on Col Roosevelt's view of the Sher-
man law prosecutions. The news
came from the White House to the
waiting interviewers that the presf-
dent would make no statement with
reference to the article. Attorney
General Wickersham declined to see
anyone who called with the statement
that an interview on Roosevelt was
wanted Secretary Knox and Secre-
tary Nagle followed the presidential
lead.
When suggestion was sought of
what course the president would fol-
low it came in the form OF a mere
intimation that the administration
would in future push it's trust prose
cutions with more vigor than ever, in
that the steel trust would be made to
toe the mark in jig time. 1t was also
intimated that the criminal prosecu-
ton of the beef trust would be more
/ vigorous.

safest and most dependable remedy,
which we know, for constipation and

such absolute faith in the virtues of
this remedy that we sell it on our

satisfaction, and we urge all in need
of such medicine to try it at our risk.
ReXall Orderlies are eaten just like
candy, are particularly prompt and
agreeable in action, may be taken at
any time, day or night; do not cause
diarrhoea, nausea, gripping, excessive
lOoseness, or other undesirable effects.
They have very mild but positive

overcoming weakness, and aiding to
restore the bowels to more vigorous

strong enough to wag the dog and
never would be, while in the new
county they would not only be close
to the county seat, but would have a
tremendous influence by their votes
in saying who should conduct the
county business. 1t is the general be-
lief that Fergus county will be cut up
into two or more counties anyway, as
the levy for expenses of big county
with a big population will be too
heavy for the average taxpayer to
meet Mr.. Neill stated that it was
his experience that the heaviest ex-
pense in conducting county was the
cost of the district court, which in
cluded the sheriffs office. AS the
population of Fergus increased this
expense would increase prOportionate-
ly, which, together with the bonded
Indebtedness and other expenses,
would make the rate of taxation in
Fergus county much larger in the fu-
ture than it is now. He believed the
new county could be run on levy of
1G or II mills.
After discussing name for the new
county, among which were Richland,
Judith, Okla and Judith Basin, which
matter was left for further decisive
action, if necessary, it was decided to
circulate petitions among the taxpay-
ers in the four-mile strip in Fergus
county, and if 65 per cent of them
agreed to the proposition, an attempt
would be made to bring the matter to
vote at special election next
spring, or at the latest, at the next
general election.

NEW COUNTY POW-WOW HELD IN
JUDITH GAP SHOWS OPINION
is DIVIDED.
NELL GIVES HIS VIEWS
Former County Commissioner Of Fer.
gus County Not Enthusiastic Over
the Proposition-Says That Resi-
dents in Strip Proposed to Be
Taken From Fergus Of Same Mind.

Judith Gap Journal: The county
division meeting, called for Judith
Gap last Saturday, was quite largely
attended, many farmers being present.
The meeting was called to order by
S. J. Small, who Immediately placed
in nomination for chairman l. S. Nc
Guilty, of Harlowton, who was unani-
mously elected. Glen S. Bills was
elected secretary.
The chairman explained the work
ings of the new law governing the
formation of new counties, and be-
lieved the time was ripe for cutting
Meagher county in two.
Quite number of gentlemen from
Harlowton were present, and several
of them expressed emphatic views on
the subject of division. The most
important of these was the fact that
hope to get a sufficient amount of
road money to build roads here un-
der the present condition of things;
that it cost twice as much to build
and keep in repair the roads of the
west end than it did here, and as all
the influence of present and future
county commissioners would be
brought to bear to spend the road
money at that end first, our only hope
to get adequate justice was to cut
loose from the present county and
form one of our own. 1t was sug-
gested by a Judith Gap man that in
asmuch as the east end OF the county
had the bulk of the votes that they
pull together and elect all the county
officers from this end, TO which the
HarlOWtOn man replied that there
could not be gotten together compe-
tent candidates from this end who
would agree to go to White Sulphur
Springs to live for the best offices in
the gift of the people,
w. T. Neill, who served as county
commissioner of Fergus for ten years,
gave some valuable views on the cost
of running counties, and he was of
the opinion that there would not be
an increase in taxation If new coun
ty were formed. He admitted, how
ever, that it was largely up to the
board of county commissioners; that
if able and conservative men were Sc
lected, that small county could be
run very economically. He had sound
ed some of the taxpayers in the four
mile strip in Fergus county on the
prospects of coming into new coun-
ty, and found majority of them op.
posed to the proposition. They would
reply: why, we have just built a
S135,O00 court house; why go into a
new county and have to build another
one?" Mr.. Neill explained at the meet
ing that the taxpayers had not paid q
dollar of taxes toward liquidating this
$135,O00 court house Indebtedness an(
would not for several years to come
but when that time did come they
would realize that they We're paying
some taxes; that by coming into the
new county at this time they would
escape this burden. Further, that the
settlers in that particular strip O

in county affairs, as the tail was no

Jack Rabbit could scarcely believe his
ears. Don't v remember that the
Secretary Bird was to write the invita-
tions to the party which we are to give
or have you forgotten everything about
the plans which We made in my bur-
row to invite the animals Of the wood

his thick fur. I certainly had forgot

ways of society that l sort of left the
whole thing to yoIL and have been so

Jack Rabbit could not help being fat

standing ami knowledge by Mister Fox
and in appreciating himself he sort of
half fcrgave Mister Fox for his thought
lessness.
But Mister Fox still conscious Of his
fault, showed as much interest as pos
ible In the talk about the party and as
ruined to be very much angered by the
fact that the Secretary Bird had not
brought the Invitations as he had prom
ised and told Jack Rabbit that such
failure should be severely punished.
