@. S. Morey Is President of So Many
Beet Sugar Companies.

New York, May chichester S. Morey
of Denver, a dominant figure in the
beet sugar industry for the last decade,
was the governments first witness here
in taking of testimony in the disso-
luton suit against the American Sugar
refining company, which is al
legged to constitute monopoly in re-
straint of trade Before calling Morey,

that Mr.. Morey had been president of
six beet sugar companies in Colorado,
all of which were organized in 1901-3,
and dissolved simultane ouSly on April
20, 1907. These companies were the
Great Western Sugar company, Greeley

Mr.. Morey gave his occupation as
president of the Great Western Sugar
company. an office, he said, he had held
since 1908. He was also president, he
said,. of the Sterling Sugar company
and might have been president of an
other company-he was not sure. Mr..
Morey also said that he had been presi-
dent of the Morgan County Construc-
ton company since its organization to
the present time, and he was president
of these companies were capitalized at
from $3.50, 1000 to 1900, 900.
He apologized for taking an unus-
ually long time to answer question as
to the date of his becoming president
of the various companies explaining
that there were so many concerns he
had forgotten the dates.
Referring to a tabulated list of his
connections with numerous concerns
he was able to recall that he was pres
ident of the Great Western Railway
company and the Northern Construc-
ton company. More than an hour was
consumed in giving a list of the offices
he held and the dates he assumed them.
Were you general manager of the

Tuesday of next week an extraordinary
general meeting CT the shareholders
or this company is to be held in Lon
don for the purpose of ratifying a
resolution already approved by the di-
rectors. Should this resolution be ap-
proved, then the capital of the COM
pany will be increased to $45, 900, 900
or, as the circular says, to nine million
pounds. This is to be done by the
issuing of two million four hundred
thousand preference shares so that
the preference shares and the out
standing ordinary or as thew are
termed in the United States, common

HE WANTS HIS LIQUOR
Robert Slaughter Advises Court Police
Seized 1t Improperly.

Because the police seized his liquor
without the service of warrant, Rob
ert Slaughter has asked Judge Gar
yer for a writ of repleviL that he might
recover $4S.35 worth of wet goods. 1t
is on the grounds that the refresh
ments were taken without proper legal
procedure that Slaughter asks for the
return of his liquor
In his applications for writ, Slaugh-
ter recites the wares which were re-
moved from his ISemises by the police
This is the inventory that the plaintiff
filed in the county court, based on the
reliable and most recent quotations
from the Missouri breweries: 8 kegs of
Rochester beer, 5000; / empty keg, 81; ;
cases Pabst beer, $19.45; 2 cases emp
ties, $40; 1 key beer, $3.50; one-half
case Monogram whiskey, $3.50; 2 gal
Ions whiskey, in jugs, Sc.
A warrant in the Slaughter case was
served after the officers had seized the
liquor. This variance from the pre-
scribed legal formality, raised close
legal question and Judge Carver has
taken the case under advisement.
