He said he did not stay with tn,
sugar trust" but went abroad an,
after studying the beet sugar indus
r. in Europe returned to America tC
engage in chat business in earnest op-
position to the trust"
Mr.. oxnard explained that he and
his brothers, Robert, Benjamin and
James G., were interested in the
American Beet Sugar company, but at
present they owned only about 1000
shares of preferred and 500 to 1000
shares of the common stock.
There had been a big tariff ON
sugar for twenty-five or thirty years. "
explained Mr. Oxnard. 81 thought Il
would be profitable and patriotic to
introduce the beet sugar business into
tnis country"
The witness said the American Beet
Sugar company had never had any
connection with the American Sugar
Rerining company, except contract
iE 1902 under which the latter became
the selling agency" of the former.
The witness said the contract was in
effect only three years, although it
was to run ten years.
Chairman Hardiwick wanted to know
why the contract was abandoned. "I
ceased to be president in 1906" said
Mr.. Oxnard. My brother succeeded
and Colonel Duval came on the board.
The colonel was familiar with the rail
roads and the Sherman law. He said:
Here this violates the Sherman anti
rust law. told him the lawyers said
t was all right; that John e. Par
sons, of the American Sugar Refining
company had said it was legal. He
lsked If | would object to his friend
Wayne MacVeagh looking at it. Mr..
GacVeagh said it was illegal so Bron-
on Cutting went to Mr.. Havemeyer Of

nd told him the contract was Illegal
lie wanted it to be continued
ear. Mr.. Cutting said: No, this con-
'act ends today so that was amen,
nd the thing was dead from that

After long discussion of the beet
lgar industry and the tariff on raw
Id refined sugar Mr.. Oxnard asked :

. said:
"Quite a little has been said about
e trust controlling the beet sugar I
fineries. The trust does not control
/ told more than twenty per cent OF
le sugar industry. and the beet sugar
sople compete with the output of the
her sugar refinery companies. There
no such thing as a restraint OF trade {
etween the beet sugar people and

The Eleven Finds That Old Father Time to be
 Reckonsd With

After having a victory snatched from their grasp by the call Of time, the Bisbee High School football team determined to increase it's speed before the next game. has renewed the afternoon practice and yesterday on the Central School campus. Coach Henry put the team through stren- nous signal practice
 Some new plays will be added to the teams repertoire. each of which promises to be a ground gainer. old football players who have seen it say that it Is one of the prettiest plays they have ever seen. It is a tIiple-trick play, or a trick with. in a trick within a trick In the con. fusion and excitement of footbal game, there is little chance of it being "savvied" soon enough to break up the play.
 The next game on the Bisbee-Doug. las schedule is the Thanksgiving Day game, in Bisbee. unless the local team consents to meet the Douglas team at Douglas again in the near time, which has been asked by the Douglas team. As only three games were scheduled, two additional games would have to be played to settle definitely the championship between the two schools.
 The majority of the Bisbee players are new material and if is believed that, having been through a match game, they will be able to play bet ter ball in the next game than they did at Douglas, when the game was sailed with Bisbee within three yards of Douglas goal line. As the re suit of that game. the local team Is even more confident than ever that it can best the Douglas team. Coach Henry also shares this belief. Tho weak points of his team were un covered in the first game and thest defects are being remedied
