Charles r. Heike, supposed confidential
man Of the sugar king and secretary
Of the company until his indictment in
connection with the recent customs
frauds
Mr.. Atkins, acting head Of the COR
poration, had testified that Mr.. Have
meyer had ruled the concern while
holding 100000 Of a total Of $4,000
900. Mr.. Heike protested that he
knew nothing Of the operation Of Mr.
Havemeyer.
president HaVemeyer ran the bus
mess" the witness said. He denied that
he had such confidential relations with
Mr.. Havemeyer as to be able to testify
now about the business of former days
Looking at it from the past he said he
judged the merger was to reduce the
cost Of production
Says Price Will Fall.
A reduction Of the sugar bill OF the
American people was predicted by Ed
win F. Atkins, head of the American
Sugar Refining Company, as a prob
able result Of the reduction Of the tar
iff on raw sugar, in testimony he gave
to the house special sugar committee
Putting raw sugar on the free l1st'
however, he said, would result in dr1v-
ing many sugar-beet producers In the
United States out Of business and ser1-
ously crippling Louis lana cane produc-
ers. Representative Madison. OF Kan
sas, tried to get the witness to fix a
point to which the duty might safely
be reduced. He declined.
Gas an economist, as dealer In
sugar as great producer In Cuba you
should be able to give us a valuable
SUGGESTION said Mr. Madison coax
ingly.
Mr.. Atkins responded that his COM
pany had not discussed the subject
formally and that he must decline to
answer until he was called before the
ways and means committee.
The tariff discussion occurred In con-
nection with testimony regarding the
prices Of suger. At the conclusion OF
the session Chairman Hardwlck an
nounced the committee was thru with
Mr.. Atkins for the present and tomor-
row would hear Charles r. HeilSe.
Mr.. Madison led Mr.. Atkins to admit
that in dollars and cents Cuba profited
practically nothing as a result or the
Favored nation treaty with this coun-
try in regard to sugar irnportations.
How Prices Varied.
Chairman Eardwick took the witness
thru a long review Of sugar prices
Mr.. Atkins said the differences between
the cost of the raw sugar and the SELL
ing price Of refined sugar left the re-
finers at present at So cents a 100
pounds to cover the cost OF refining
and profits. This difference was only
II cents in 1885 and rs in 1887. In
1883, after the merger resulting in the
organization Of the American Sugar
Company, the difference rose to s1.2o.
NO so many sellers" suggested Mr.
Hardwick Probably some had gone
out Of business"
Some" replied Mr.. Atkins, laconi-
cally.
In 1890 the difference dropped to ~
cents.
THAT drop was due to competition
with the Pennsylvania refineries
wasn't it?" asked Mr.. Hartwick.
Probably" was the response.
In 1892 the amount claimed by the
refiners as profit it was known had
risen to $1.0s Mr.. Hardwick asked If
the Pennsylvania refineres were nc
longer competing.
No" responded Ny. Atkins.
