SOME PERTINENT QUERIES. How the Trust \Vas Organized—An In- vestment of $350,000 Which Practi- " cally Earned 190 Per Cent Ina Single Day—An Explanation. NEW YORK, Feb. 9.——The legislative hunt for trusts conducted by Senator Lex- ow and his fellow committeemen, Senator Parsons and Assemblyman Mazet, Warner and Barry, went on merrily again today ' in the aldermen’s chamber of the city hall. The American Sugar Refineries company, which has been the chief target of the sen- atorial shots so far, was expected to bear the brunt of the attack again today in the person of its treasurer, Mr. John E. Searles. All question of Mr. Searles’ appearance before the committee today was removed when he entered the chamber shortly be- fore 10 o’clock in company with Edward M. Shepard, law partner of John E. Par- sons, who' 15 the counsel of the sugar com- pany. Mr. Searles is the one man for whom the committee has professed the greatest solicitude. The committee wanted him on Friday and again on Saturday, but Mr. Searles was out of town on impor- tant business, having received the com- mittee’s subpoena: too late to admit of changing his plans. Senator Lexow made dire threats of invoking the rigors of the law and the power of the legislature against Mr. Searles, but consented on Sat- JOHN E. SEARLES, JR. urday to wait until today before proceed~ ing to extremities. ‘If Mr. Searles should make a. satisfactory explanation today, lfe said, the committee would try to be lenient With him. Mr. Searles chatted smilingly with Mr. Shepard before the session opened. It was understood that his explanation to the committee would be satisfactory and that he would then take the witness chair and offer himself cheerfully as a. target for the hunters. There was a good deal of loose talk in the chamber about what Senator Lexow would do in case Mr. Searles deemed some of the questions too personal or too impertinent to answer. Searles’ Explanation. The session was opened at 10:15 o’clock, and Mr. Searles was called upon for .his explanation. “Mr. Chairman, ” said Mr. Searles, “I received the committee’s subpoena while I was on the way to the train to fulfill a very important engagement that could not be deferred. I called at the office of my counsel and asked him to explain to the committee. ” Senator Lexow read Mr. Searles a. little lecture. He said: “ Mr. Searles, the poor man and the mil- lionaire stand on the same level before this committee of the legislature of the state of New York and must equally obey its processes. The committee will not pass upon the question of your disobedience to its subpoena until you have given your testimony. If the testimony you give is helpful to this committee and if you an- swer the questions put to you, the com- mittee will then consider whether or not you have purged yourself of contempt. ” Mr. Searles then took the stand, said he was 56 years old, treasurer of the Ameri- can Sugar Refineries company of New Jersey and a. banker. “You are a man of considerable affairs in this city, are you not, Mr. Searles?” asked Senator Lexow. “I am supposed to be,” replied Mr. Searles, smiling. Mr. Searles was asked about the so called trust deed or agreement under which the sugar companies were first consolidated and said that he did not know where it was. “When did you last see it?” “About the time of the North River re- finery litigation.” “You were a. large owner of the North River refinery?" l‘Yes 1) “Did you not testify that you received $7 00, 000 stock in the Sugar t1 ust in re- turn for your $350,000 stock in the North River company?” ‘IYes H “Was not this typical of all the transac- tions involving the consolidation of the refinery companies?” “The circumstances under which the North River refinery property was pur- chased Were peculiar and did not fix the real value of the property to the company. In other cases the prices were fixed in ac- cordance with the real value of the refin- eries to the whole, regardless of the capi- talization of the individual companies. ” The Transfer to the Trust. Senator Lexowfiwent at length into the details of Mr. Searlcs’ purchase of North River refining stock and his .subsequent transfer of it to the American Sugar Re— fining company. Mr. Searles thought that his purchase of the stock was prior to Nov. 25, 1887, the date of the agreement on which was consummated the formation of the so called trust. “Was there not an agreement looking to the formation of the trust in existence as early as April 22, 1887?” asked Senator Lexow. . ’ “No, there was not,” replied Mr. Searles. “There had been some talk about thecon- solidation, but no definite agreement of any kind had been reached before the an; tumn of 1887. Efforts to bring about con- solidation were under discussion some time before, but no definite agreement or definite proposal regarding consolidation had been made. ” “Where are 'the books of the companies that afferward formed the trust?” ~ f‘ Tia—.7 were retained by the various ' companies. THE EVENING GAZETTE, I have no idea where they are now. ” ‘ “Where are the books of the American Sugar Refining company as it existed be- fore the consolidation?” ' ‘ “Mr. Hector C. Havcmcycr had them. He is dead.” “If this committee has. to ask the legis- lature for an increase of time,” said Sen- ator Lexow, “it is going to find out just What was paid for the stock of the orig- inal companies forming the trust in trust certificates. We are going to have that in- formation if it is in the world, .and you might as well give it to us. Did the same ratio prevail with the other com- panies as with the North River company?” “I have already sawic ” replied Mr. ‘Sea1les, “that the capitalization of those companies did not represent their value to the wholcm‘" . “As a trustee Of theS 11 0211 trust issuing certificates you issued to 3 tburself $700, 000 in certificates in ieturn for $350, 000 of stock, thus making a piofit of $350, 000 overnight, did you not?’ ‘ That is not correct,” said Mr. Searles. “Some of the members of the North River Sugar Refining company were not so tlsfi ed with the value of the: crtificates they were to receive. I agreed: - 3 pay them a. certain amount of money for the stock. I valued the certificates higher than they did. That is the difference. You must remember that the $50, 000 000 capitalization of the American Sugar Reflriing company was not their real value, so that 1011 cannot say that I made $350,000 overnight." “Do you mean that the stock was we.- tered 50 per cent?” "No. I mean that the convertible value of the certificates at that time was not par H “You speculated, then, on the farms success of the scheme?" “If you want to put it that way, I bought the stock of the North Rive1 Sugar Refining company at less than the real value because the directors wanted to sell." Queer Capitalization. Senator Lexow wouldn’t leave the North River Sugar Refining company transac- tion, and Mr. Searles went into afurther explanation. “While negotiations for the consolida- tion of the refineries were going on,” he. said, “ the stockholders of the North River Sugar Refining company met and agreed to tuin over their property for $700, 000 of certificates in the new organization. Sub— sequently a director who had been in Eu- lope returned and objected. Another meet- ing was held, and it was decided that they would prefer to accept a low cash offer rather than the certificates. It was then that I bought the stock for cash, with the full knowledge of every person concerned, accepting in return the certificates to which they would have been entitled had they adhered to their original decision.’ “Do you mean to say that the directors or trustees of the various companies form- ing the trust knew of the transaction?” "Yes. At the time the trust was formed the sugar refining business in this country was in the hands of a few men. My im- pression is that there were less than 100 persons interested.” “Will you swear that the actual cash value of all the properties that went to form the Sugar trust was not less than $20.000,000?” “The properties were taken, all of them, on their estimated values. The value was estimated on the basis of the actual value of the real property and its then earning capacity.” “Was not the actual value of all the con- cerns as estimated at the time of the con- solidation $15,700,000, for which you is- sued certificates of $50,000,000?” “I have no recollection of any such fig- ures. " "Was not the amount of capital stock of all the companies taken into the original Sugar trust $19, 760, 000?” “ My recollection Is that it was not nearly so large. The capital of the companies in . no wise represented the real value of the properties. The total capitalization, I think, was about $7,000,000. Senator Lexow, in a number of ques- tions, got Mr. Searles to say that the three firms, Havemeyer & Elder, Dick &. Meyer and Oxenard, which were organized as corporations for the purposes of the conse- quent formation of the trust on capitaliza- tions of $500,000, $200,000 and $100,000, respectively, received certificates in the new company amounting approximately to $14,000.000. Mr. Searles explained that the capitali— zation of a. corporation, in his opinion, did not represent the real value of its property. How the Trust Controls. “Then does not‘ the American Sugar Refineries company control the price of refined sugar in the United States?” “The only way we control the price is that we sell it so cheap that no competitor can sell it cheaper.” ‘They do sell it cheaper sometimes, do they not?” ‘ ‘ Occasionally. ” “That is the rule when they get a chance to sell at all, is it not?” I t NO. ’ ! “Was not the Object of the formation of the Sugar trust the control of the price and output of refined sugar in the United States?” “ The object of the consolidation of the refineries was to produce refined sugar more economically than it could be pro- duced in any other way, and to that extent we have the better of competitors.” “Mr. Havemeyer has stated that the principal object of the formation of the trust was to prevent competition. Do you agree with him?” . “No. The object was to eliminate cer- tain costs and expenses incidental to a. number of separate concerns, thus en- abling profit to be made where formerly there was a loss. without increasing the price." “Was not the doing away with competi- tion the object of your absorption of other companies subsequently?” “It was an incidental result. ” Wreck on the Southern Pacific.

A Statement of the Battlehip’s Trouble by the Navy Department. WASHINGTON, Feb.8 .—The navy depart- ment has received a report from Captain Taylor of the battleship Indiana explain- ing the return of his ship to Hampton Roads. ing statement: The officers of the ship, as appears from I the report, owing to former trouble with the locking devices of the turrets when the ship was s lbjected to heavy rolling, were exceedingly cautious as to the action of the improved devices 'put on at New York. So far as the report states. the new device did not give way in any part nor de- velop any permanent deformity, but when the ship rolled rather heavily in the trough ofthe sea, there was a. slight play in the device observed, the whole movement not exceeding a quarter of an inch and was confined almost entirely to the forward 13 inch turret. This slight movement of the turrets was readily checked by setting up the bolts. There was a. heavy swell running and Captain Taylor informed Admiral DBunce by signal that he feared continuous rolling might carry away the locking device. Aft- er some messages had been passed between them the Indiana was directed to return to the Roads. She had no trouble on the way back. ’ So far as the report shows, the locking mechanism is in good condition, but Con- structor Stahl of the Norfolk yard has been ordered to inspect and report on the same. OHIO’S NATIONAL GUARD. Open “’arfare \Vaging and a Sensational Shaking Up Threatened. CLEVELAND, Feb. 8.——The internal strife in the Ohio national guard has reached the point where open warfare has been de- clared. It began with the state encamp- ment in Cleveland last summer. It was charged later that certain Cleveland ofiis cers in the Fifth regiment were getting fat percentages for collecting money for the guard and Assistant Adjutant General Kingsley began an investigation. The re- sult is a. court martial ordered by the gov- ernor for two weeks hence, the defendants to be Cleveland ofiicers. Previous to this the officers of the regi- ment demanded of the governor an open court of inquiry to embrace all the mili- tary organizations of Cleveland and the financial management of the state camp by the adjutant general’s office. This court has not been granted. Colonel 0011; of the Fourteenth regiment then delivered,” him- self of some bitter remaiks about the ad- jut-ant general 5 office, and a few weeks ago two companies in his regiment were musicicd out by the adjutant general for inefficiency. The Fifth regiment Officers are standing together, and today it was announced that they had begun 11 systematic canvass of the entire state guard for a. united 011- slaught upon the adjutant general. They declare that they have received every en- couragement to go ahead, and that the na- tional guard will receive a. shaking up which wil be historical. Idle Convicts In Massachusetts. BOSTON, Feb. 8.-—The agitation of the shoe dealers and others for a. restriction in convict labor has resulted in a delay of the appropriation for the state prisons and. has been productive of serious results at the Charlestown prison.

The Ritual of the Uniformed Rank Was Not Legally Adopted. INDIANAPOLIS, Feb. S.——The supreme tribunal, Knights of Pythias, has closed its sitting. The tribunal consists of George E. Seay, Dallas, who is chief tribune; John H. Alexander, Leesburg, Va; Edward A. Graham, Montgomery, Ala.; Benjamin T. Chase, Lewiston, Me. , and Frank H. Clark, Cheyenne, Wy. The matter In esented for adjudication was the case of Philip Colgrove as supreme chancellor and James R. Carnahan as ma- jor general of uniform rank, K. of P. The question involved was whether or not the so called ritual of the uniform rank, as presented at the Cleveland session of the supreme lodge, was legally adopted and whether it was the duty of the su- preme keeper of records and seal to publish this so called ritual for the use of the rank. It was decided that this ritual was not adopted by the supreme lodge in the man- ner prescribed by the fundamental law of the order, and that it was therefore not le- gally a ritual of the order, and that the supreme keeper of records and seal was not authorized to print and publish the same. There were several other matters disposed of at this sitting, but none of them was of general interest to the order at large. The decision of the supreme tribunal is not subject to appeal and settles the ques- tion involved until the defects referred to are remedied by the legislative branch of ' the order.\ THE HOPKINS MILLIONS. Twenty-nine Relatives Combine to Break the Eccentric Man's \Vill. KANSAS CITY, Feb. 8.—Twenty-nine rel- atives of the plate Millionaire Charles G. Hopkins have filed papers in a suit in the circuit court here to break his will. Hop- kins died last fall, and his will bequeathed his estate to his secretary and his house- keeper, leaving but small bequests to his relatives. They include Charles G. Hop— kins, nephew, of St. Louis; Mrs. Blanche Bither of Saginaw, Mich, and Mrs. Na - cissa Nason of Indianopolis. Hopkins was 7-5 years old and unmar- ried, and his will expressly stated that he had no wife or issue. To his secretary, Thomas M. Barr, he gave outright $350,- 000, and to Miss Elizabeth Calvert, his housekeeper, property valued at $100,000 or more. The petition to set aside the will, which was witnessed at the time of being written by ex- Mayor Henry Kumpf, sets forth that IIOpkins, being in his dotage, as unduly influenced by Barr and Miss Ca vert. An imposing array of talent has been retained on both sides, and a stubborn contest is expected. Major William Warner, who is among the counsel for the plaintiffs, speaking of the case, said it would probably not come up until the next term of court. The case, he said, would be fought to the end. A Grape Grower-5‘ Combine. FREDONIA, N.
