his death were greatly exaggerated.
Smith did not know anything about
his demise until today when he met
some former friends on the streets of
Manchester. y H. These friends. Mr..
and Mrs James r. Sutclin of
SWampscott, were overwhelmed when
they saw Smith whose funeral they

He was so anxious to show the folks
at home that he was not dead that he

his best clothes and caught the next

everybody that he was very much

The misunderstanding about Smiths

THE CAUSE.
Continued from Page one.1

The committee will meet in Wash
ington next Monday. The sub-com-
Imittee appointed to examine the books
and records of the American Sugar
Refining Co.. will probably employ ex-
perts within a few weeks and will be
ready to report to the general COM
mittee early in the fall.
Henry c. Mott, purchasing agent Tor
and a director of the American Sugar
Refining Company. who was the first
witness today before the special con-
gressiona1 committee investigating the
Sugar Trust. declared that in making
purchases of sugar the company never
Disseminated against any planter
never punished any Louisiana plan
ters for selling sugar to the independ
ent refineries and never arbitrarily fix
ed the purchasing price of sugar.
The committee expected to complete
its investigation in this city in time
to take train this afternoon which
would permit the Democratic members
to attend caucus in Washington to-
night.
Mr. Mott, who was elected a director
following the death of II. O. Have
meyer said he did much of the CORE
spondenee for Mr.. Havemeyer. but his
memory was so treacherous that he
could not recall any of the correspond
enee relative to the acquiring of the
Independents.
Asked about the Americans pur-
chases of sugar in Louisiana, Mr.. Mott
said
we paid the New York price. less
the freight rate to New York, which
is about 10 cents hundred pounds"
Yet you used much of the Louisiana
sugar in your New Orleans refinery ?"
oh, we sent a great deal to New
York"
Mr.. Mott said that he would guar
antee to purchase in Louisiana for any
independent all the sugar they wanted
If they paid the American price or
l-32 more and had the cash. Other
witnesses had said the planters were
afraid to sell to the Independents be-
cause if they did they would have been
boyeotted by the American, which is
the largest purchaser.
Mr.. Mott intimated if there had been
any discrimination against any of the
Louisiana planters or boycotting of
any of them it had been done by the
American Sugar Refining Company's
local purchasing agent there, and not
to the knowledge or with the consent
of the company
"of course" he said, I'VE give d.
reetions from time to time to reduce
or increase the purchases according to
the stock situation and the demand
and the consumption"
