committee on ways and means of the

alton commission bill to go upon the
house calendar Later, he declared
that Mr.. Burg had told him the bill
would not go on for at least another
day. Mr.. Burg said it was mfsun-
derstanding and Mr. Smith said that
he would withdraw his remarks as 10
Mr.. Burg having deceived him, but
that he absolutely was done with the
committee and would fight the bill to
the last ditch.
The house then considered the bill
in committee of the whole and 1t is
set for passage this afternoon, It
also expects to take up the big bont
bill, and bitter fight is apt to re
suit on both of these measures. The
speaker appointed Mr.. Campbell.
democrat of Quay county. to Mr.
Smiths place on the committee. 1t
is now asserted that the committe
is up against fight that will require
the greatest diplomacy on the part OF
Speaker Baca and Mr.. Burg.

Travel On Special Train.

Settle, Wash, May 1.-two long
trains, one known as the Roosevelt
and the other as the Taft special,
will arrive in Aberdeen late today
carrying the delegates from Puget
Sound to the state convention and
all the warhorses of the republican
party in western Washington. Nearly
half the seats in the convention are
contested and the republican central
committee began hearings on the
contests this morning.
Meanwhile peace conferences were
in progress. Candidates for state Of
fices were advocated in a compro-
mise which would result in the senc-
ing of a divided delegation. The
Roosevelt and Taft leaders oppose
this plan and are making al prepa-
rations for holding two conventions.
If the peace negotiations tail, the
state central committee is expected to
issue credentials to all the Tatt con
testing delegates.
The Taft men will have full con.
troll of the call, so there will be
physical conflicts. The Roosevelt
men, in the event of two conventions
viii call out of the Taft convention
nearly all of the eastern Washington
delegates and will have full repre-
sentation of the western Washington
counties. Hope of a compromise and
a division Of the delegates has not
been abandoned by any means. Coy
ernor Hay is expected to hold i'm
portant conferences with the party
leaders this afternoon.

Washington, May 14.-All of the

will be disposed of by the senate be-
fore the end of this session and pos
sibly without interfering with plans
for early adjournment, according to
Senator Simmons, in charge of these
measures in the senate.

day, "and after few more speeches
we will fix a day for vote. Natur-
ally appropriation bills are given pref
erence when they come up in order to
permit conference committees to
get to work on them as soon as pos
sible; but it is not intended that they
shall long prevent consideration of the
tariff measures"
The senator said the chemical bin
would follow the metal bill and after
that would come the wool bill He
thought the debate on these measures
would not be so extended as that on
the metal bill. The general un-
is that the progressive re-
publicans will dictate the sarif course
of the senate. The democrats are
expected to go on record for their
own bills and then accept the progress
sive republican measures with such
as they can secure.

Hats Are In the Ring.

Salt Lake City, May 14.-All of the
hats in the ring 'at the democratic
state convention in session here to-
day are those of candidates for
Utah's place on the national commit
tee Of the party. Six aspirants have
been mentioned. There is little riv-
airy for places on the delegation to
the national convention at Baltimore
as it has been agreed that If more
than eight well known democrats
wish to be delegates the delegation
shall be increased and the eight
votes of the state divided.
Instructions as to the choice of a
presidential nominee have not been
suggested seriously. The state con-
vention seems content to allow its
representatives at the national gath
ering to act on their individual judg-
ment.
A majority of the delegates chosen
at county conventions to attend the
republican state convention tomor-
row will go to Provo uninstructed.

The big fight is being made over

If the King county delegates are seat

During the noon recess the adher-

IN SUGAR TRUST PROSECUTION
FIRST HEARING, HELD IN NEW
YORK, CAUSES LEGAL
EMBRooLlo.
MAY APPEAL TO The COURTS
THE CASE LIKELY WILL BE TAX
EN- FROM HANDS OF sPE-
cIAL EXAMINER BRlcE.

New York, May 14.-Shall the
voice of Henry o. Havemeyer, dead
five years, be heard in the goverh-
ment's dissolution suit against the so
called sugar trust?
Counsel for the government and the
defense clashed over this question tc-
day in the first session held to take
testimony in the suit. When the ses-
sion adjourned the question was still
undecided and it seemed likely that
the point would be taken over the
head of Special Examiner W. B. Brice
to the United States district court
for decision. District Attorney Wise
declared that Mr.. Havemeyer's testi-
mony was material to the suit, while
the score of lawyers representing the
defendants objected variously that it
was privilege. immaterial. incompe-
tent and irrevelant
The testimony of Mr.. Havemeyer
which Mr.. Wise sought to have writ
ten into the record was given before
the congressional Industrial commits
sion on June IA. 1899. Mr.. Wise said
Mr.. HavemeyM "the ruling spirit OF
the sugar trust' testified that the
tariff was the mother Of trusts" and
that he was in business for himself
and not for his competitors. The
testimony, Mr.. Wise argued, pre-
sented in concise form the practices
of the so-called sugar trust in build
ing up a monopoly"
The taking of testimony in the gov
ernment's dissolution suit against the
American Sugar Refining company
was begun today before Special Ext
aminer Wilson B. Brice. This action,
together with the suit against the
United States Steel corporation,
makes two big cases brought by the
government for the dissolution of the
two so-called trusts now under way
in this city. Most of the evidence
sought by the government in the sug-
ar case is understood to be of doc
umentary nature.
Certified copies Of the certificates
of Incorporation and increases of
stock of the American Sugar Refining
company were introduced. These
showed that the company was in
corporated in New Jersey, January 10,
1891, with a capital of $5O,OO0.0OO, di-
vided equally between common and
preferred stock issues, and that the
capitalization was increased to $75,-
100000 March 12, 1892, and to $780,
100000, October 10, 1901, the increase
being in equal amounts of common
and preferred stock.
Certificates also were introduced,
covering the incorporation of the
American Sugar Refining company of
New York. Franklin Sugar Refining
company of Philadelphia, spreckles
Sugar Refining company of Philadel-
phia, and other corporate defendants.
