price, you could bother him or make
him come down to your price?
Mr. Rithet Absolutely; but we
have to keep our customers, Mr..
Fordney, and customers are very valu-
able in market where there are only
two sellers, as perhaps you know.
Mr. Fordney. understand that.
You can market no more sugar than
can be consumed in that particular
territory, and it would be futile to
bring more raw sugars to San Fran.
cisco?
Mr.. Rithet Yes, sir.
Mr.. Fordney Because if you did
bring more to that territory than was
consumed there, your freight East is
double what it would be to the Mis-
souri, River points?
Mr.. Rithet. Direct from the point
Iof shipment, yes.
/ Mr.. Fordney. How long did your
company operate before you entered
into this lease?
/ Mr.. Rithet From 1897 until 1903
Mr.. Fordney 1903, at the time you
entered into the lease?
Mr.. Rithet Yes, sir
Mr.. Fordney You say you entered
into the lease for various reasons;
first, you were short of capital
Mr.. Rithet Yes, sir
Mr.. Fordney. And wanted time to
better your financial condition?
Mr.. Rithet Yes to reconstruct.
Mr.. Fordney. And you continued
during the time of that lease to man
ufacture beet sugar?
Mr.. Rithet No, sir; when the lease
was made, it was in March, and we
had already planted part of that years
crop of beets, and ! arranged with
the Western that we would run our
beet plant, but that we would dissolve
our selling organization, and they
would sell our beet sugar, and we
were to pay them a quarter of a cent
pound which we did
Mr.. Fordney. For selling those su-
CARS?
Mr.. Rithet. Yes, sir
Mr.. Fordney. During the time that
lease was in existence, three years,
they paid you 100000 per year for
the lease?
Mr. Rithet. Yes
Mr. Fordney. They paid that in
quarterly payments. think that was
mentioned here
Mr. Rithet. Yes, sir; they did.
Mr. Fordnay. And you did recuper-
ate and prepare to 90 into the bust
ness again at the end of that lease?
Mr.. Rithet. We did
Mr.. Fordney. But in the meantime
you succeeded in getting a very salts
factory contract with Mr.. Spreckals
to take your raw sugars?
Mr.. Rithet. Yes, sir.
Mr.. Fordney. I presume that was
one of the reasons for making the
lease?
Mr.. Rithet. We got everything Gov
cred that we had any liability on. We
were liable for the raws, and we made
him take them over.
Mr.. Fordney. Have you any fur
Their explanation along the line | have
just asked you which you would like
to make?
Mr., Rithet. No; think I have Gov
cred the ground fairly well. OF
course, we were in hole a little, as
thought; and as prudent measure
| thought is best to take time and re-
cover my breath, as it were, and we
did that, and since we have got started
again we have absolutely refused to
make such an arrangement
Mr.. Fordney The San Francisco
market could not take and does not
take all of the Hawaiian raws?
Mr.. Rithet. Oh, no.
Mr.. Fordney. A large amount must
go to the Atlantic coast?
Mr. Rithet They produce now 6OO,.
600 tons, practically.
Mr.. Fordney. And you aim to bring
sufficient raws to the Pacific coast for
the market on that coast?

Mr. Rjthot ! think about SO ton.

Mr. MaIby If YOU had to send it TO

Mr. Rithet. l do not know what it

Mr. Malby Is there i'm fact amy
combination between You and tho
American Sugar Refning Company on

put more sugar on the San Francisco

do not DO that is because man con

FIVE MEN ARRESTED
Rosenthal's Widow Said to Have in
Her Possession All Facts Gained By
Her Late Husband.

New York, July 22.-Police Lieuten-
ant Becker, in command Of the strong
arm squad which has had charge OF
gambling raids in this city and who
was alleged by gambler Herman Ros-
enthal to have been his partner in a
tenderloin gambling house shortly be-
fore Rosenthal was murdered was to-
day relieved of command of his
squad.
Becker was ordered to desk duty
in the fremont Station at Bathgate
and Fremont avenues in the Bronx
and his place as head of the squad was
taken by Lieutenant Frank Rhenisch
The detail of Becker to desk duty dis
posed of a rumor that he was to be
suspended from duty pending the re-
suit of the investigation into Rosen-
thal's murder.
Because of a'hitch which arose be-
tween the district attorney and the
grand jury regarding what witnesses
should be examined in the gambling
probe, and also because Mrs. Herman
Rosenthal, wife of the murdered
gambler, was too i'll to appear, today's
session of the grand jury investigat-
ing the alleged alliance between the
gamblers and the police was ineffect-
i've. The grand jury wants to call
before it Police Lieutenant Charles
Becker, Dan Costigan and Dominick
O'Reilly. They have been in COM
mand of the raiding squad which have
been operating against the gamblers.
Mrs. Rosenthal will probably tes-
tify tomorrow. 1t is stated that she
has all Of the information her hus-
band hand and also that she has all
of his memoranda showing in details
his own relations with the police
force. She will also give the grand
jury the names of men who can corrob-
crate her husbaad's story, of how and
to whom tribute was paid. 1t was re-
ported today that she will directly ac-
cuse a high police official of accepting
money to permit gambling houses to
run.
With the coroner's inquest into the
actual killing of Rosenthal, and the
grand jury investigation of the alleg-
ed combination between the police de-
partment and the underworld, in pro-
gress today, it was expected much
that has been kept from public know
ledge by the authorities would be re-
vealed. Five men are under arrest
charged with actual participation in
the murder and six are held as materi-
al witnesses. !;
