committee.
Royal D. Mead, of the Hawaiian
Sugar Planters Association, said he
received a salary of $1,000 a month
for his work in washington. His
efforts, he said, were confined to the
gathering and distribution of sugar
statistics, and he thought $4,000
would cover his annual expenditures.
He had been associated with the
domestic sugar producers organiza-
ton, which has directed the sugar
tariff publicity campaign in Wash
ington In May. he said, he and Sid
new M. Ballou terminated $500
contract for publicity work by the

Using. said Mr.. Mead, had been useu

nv the Hawaiian Planters Associa-
tion for all purposes was about S4oO,-
000 a. wear, he said. 1t was raised py
assessment, the total being some
thing less than 81 ton on the total
production. Most of the money hao

March to represent Alexander ana
Baldwin, owners of Hawaiian sugar

RIVAL
PROPER, SAYS GARY
Steel Witness Says It's Right
to Ask Business Seller
Not to Compete.

NEW YORK June 11.-Judge Ebert
H. Gary, chairman of the United
States Steel Corporation. testified to-
day that he thought under some cir
cumstances" 1t was perfectly proper
for a purchaser to enter into a con-
tract with a seller that the latter
should not compete with the pur-
chaser after having sold out to him.
Judge Gary was under oss-examina-
ton in the hearings of the suit to
dissolve the corporation.
Judge Jacob M. Dickinson, attorney
for the government, after reading
from minutes of the finance commit
tee of the corporation in 1908, which
set forth that the corporation pro-
posed to purchase the Oliver ore prop
critics under condition that the owners
keep out of the ore business, asked
the witness If that came under his
policy of fostering competition"
That would depend upon circum-
Stances said the witness. 1T seems
to me that If purchaser of any COM
modify or business should secure as a
part of the contract an agreement
from the seller that he should not
enter into competition with him, that
would be perfectly proper and under
many circumstances would not re-
strain trade"
There might, however, be other cir
cumstances explained the witness,
under which restraint of competition
would follow.
Il have in mind in this case the
actual effects" he said.
Judge Dickinson put into evidence
an alleged contract made between
the corporation and owners of the
Union Steel Company, taken over by
the corporation in 1902, under which
the Union Steel owners agreed to
STAY out of the steel industry for ten
years. except in Arizona and Florida.
Judge Gary's name was signed to
the contract.
The witness said the signature I'M
doubtedly was his, but that he did
not recall having read the contract
when he signed it. On general
principles, he said, he did not APP
prove of such contracts.
Judge Dickinson questioned the wit
ness at length concerning the acqui-
sition of the National and Shelby
Tube companies. Judge Gary said
that although he became director
Of the National Tube Vompany he
did not know very much of its af-
fairs at the time.
II didn't think that l was as care
full as a director in those days as 1
am now" he said. II think we have
all been stirred up to being more
careful at the present time

NOT A WITTPENN DEFEAT
-LIPPINCOTT SAYS so
IFrom a star Correspondent.I


TRENTON, n. j.. June 11.-Job H.
Lippincott, Mayor wittpenn's former
gubernatorial press agent, today in
a statement says the result of the
election was not a Wittpenn defeat.
An analysis of the figures, Mr.. Lip
pincott says, shows out of total OF
81, 900 votes cast, the machine candi-
dates received $4,000.
Desperate in defeat, Mr. Lipplncott
says that were Wittpenn himself to
run in the primaries in Jersey City
he would unquestionably lead by a
large majority as the total Demo
cratic vote could not exceed 10000
Mr.. Lippincott charges that the dis
ruption of the Wittpenn gang is due
to coalition of Republicans and a
factional set of Democrats.

u. S. Soldiers
Move on MOrOS

MANILA, June 11.-Brigadier-Gen-
eral John ]. Pershing, commander. of
the department of Mindanao. had
made all arrangements to move for
ward at daylight today and engage
in a decisive fight against the rebel
ious Moros entrenched at Bagsag,
under the Sultan of Jolo.
A stubborn resistance to the ad-,
vance of the American troops was
expected and a strong force had
therefore been assembled, consisting
of a company of regular infantry, a
troop of cavalry, seven companies of
scouts, two companies of constabu-
larry, with a battery of four noun
tain guns and a, machine platoon.
Such precautions had been taken
that 1t was believed the American

candidates, were returned winners in
the mayors voting district in the
Sixth ward, which was regarded as
another indication that the eXeeu-
tive's influence was fast waning.
Seldom has any election attracted
such a large crowd to the City Hal
as that which filled its halls last
night. When the returns began to
come in the building was filled t.
capacity and soon the line outside
stretched across the street TO the
Majestic Theatre. There was mach
speculation as TO the outcome OF me
election.
Mayor Wittpenn and several Of his
colleagues sat in his office awaiting
the returns They did not have long
to wait until it was an assured fact
that Wittpenn and his candidates hac
been badly whipped. County Counsel
Thomas G. Haight. ticneri Nree-
land and a few others remained in
the mayors office wondering who w6s
responsible for the defeat of the Witt
penn candidates.
When the crowd was appraised OF
the election returns the dil in the
City Hall became a large anti-Witt-
penn demonstration. It was toe much
for the mayor and his following, ard
when II o'clock arrived mt a Witt
penn man could be found i'll the hall.
One of the surprises Of the election
was the large vote pollc1 by George
F. Brensinger who ran second to
Mark NJ. Pagan. When the -oftner
mayor proved to be heavy favorite
in the primary election 1t was gen.
orally conceded that he woul1 poll
the largest vote in the election yes
terday, and he lived up to the pre-
dictions. Brensinger was expected to
win. but the large vote he received
proved one of the features of the
election.
