Declares Corporation Illegal.
When in 1890 the courts of New Tork
I State declared the Sugar Refineries Com
! pany an illegal corporation the Ameri-
J can Sugar Refining Company was or
\ ganized In New Jersey, and the members
• of th*> old cdnibinalsdn became members
! of the new company, which had a ••ai-i
jtal stock of $50,000,000.
| In 1891 Havemeyers &- Elder, who op
i crated the Bag i refinery in San Fran
j cisco and the California Sugar Refinery,
j in which Olaus, John D. and Adolph B.
| Spreckelf? had a controlling interest,
i combined to form the Western Sugar Be
i fining Company, with a capital of $2,
] 000,000. Half of the stock was issued
! to Havemejora & Klder and half to the
I Sprockets, and the new company took
i the business ««f the two former concerns.
; The Haverrt»»yers & Eider factory wag
; r-losed, and that partnership transferred
' its stock to the American Sugar Re
j fining Company, which has since vot
i co it.
j Th« next step, in the formation of the
j great trust, as recited by the Mil in
< equity, was the acquisition In 1802 of
i the Philadelphia refineries of the Frank
• lin Sugar Refining Company, the Dela
j ware Sugar House, the Spreckles Sugar
> Refining Company and the K. C. Knight
Company. The exhibits in the case con
lain extracts from the minutes of the
i American Sugar Refining Company for
i March I< *. 3^92, showing the method of
; procedure in the purchase or the Frank
; lin and SpreckeLs companies.
The first motion at that meeting was
] for an increase of the capita] stock to
i secure the acquisition of these four com
! panics and the Revere Sugar Refinery
> Company, of Boston. The last named
I company, however, refused to sell, and
stiil continues to operate independently
of the trust. John E. Bearlea, jr. secrc
j tary of the company, and John E. Par
• sons, counsel, were authorized to act for
I the American in acquiring the stock of
j the four Philadelphia companies.
, H. O. Bavemeyer submitted a state
NEWJ^SK DAILY TRIBUNE TUESDAY. ■ y<WEm(ER», l!>ld.
i ment that he had acquired a controlling
i share of the stock of the Franklin com
[ pany which he would sell at a profit to
! the American Sugar Refining: Company.
Theodore A. Hevemeyer submitted a
like statement with regard to the
' Spreckels company. Both withdrew
from the meeting. Some question arose
, whether the Messrs. Spreckels would
| part with their share of the stock anil
I whether ' the Messrs. Havemeyer would i
| part with their stock on the basis dis- j
cussed. j
The secretary was solemn.:" authorized ,
to consult them on this subject and lei;
1 the meeting for that purpose. He re
turned and reported that the Messrs.
Havemeyer were prepared to sell their j
4.'. per cent of the stock of both compa- |
nies. The Messrs. Havemeyer agreed to
the terms offered, and the directors re
maining at the meeting agreed to their
terms.
How the National Was Acquired.
Another transaction set forth at some ;
length in the bill is the acquisition by :
the American Sugar Refining: Company, :
or. rather, by the Messrs. H. O. and j
Theodore Havemeyer, of the stock of the i
National Susrar Refining Company, a :
New Jersey corporation which, in itself,
whs - -mew-hat of a trust, since it com- \
bined three companies formerly carrying
on independent operations. The National '\
has been regarded up to a recent date
as one of the largest of the Independent
1 companies competing with the Sugar
! Trust.
In May, 1900, it is allowed, Henry O
Havf'raeyer. James H. Post, John E.
Parson? and others acting with them de
cided to eliminate the competition of the
», v York Sugar Refining Company,
Mollenbauer Sugar Refining Company
and National Sugar Refining Company.
,7ani**s H. Post, representing unnamed
}>urchn!s<=rp. agreed to incorporate a cor
poration in New Jersey with 510,000.000
preferred end $10,000,000 common stock.
This company, the National Sugar Re
fir.ins Company, was duly Incorporated,
.. n ,j SS-.-'OO.OOO of the stock was distrib
uted among the shareholders of the
former company, while * 10.000.00" of the
Ftock was, it is alleged, banded over,
without consideration, to Henry O.
Kavernever.
Henry O Havemeyer, it is declared,
delivered the 100.000 shares of common
stock thus acquired to himself and Lo
well M. Palmer as a voting trust. The
b^n^firiaries ander this trust, which was
t<> !a<=t for /-..- years, were set forts as
follow?. 76.000 shares to Henry O.
Havemeyer as trustee for his children,
Horace Havemeyer, Adaline H. FrelinF
huysen and Electra H. Webb; 10,000
Bfaares to Lowell M. Palmer: 5.000
share? to Washington P. Thomas, at
pr< »c en t president of the American Sugar
Refining: Commpany; 5,000 phares to
James H. Post. an* 4. nri o shares to John
TL. Parsons.
AH these shares, it is set forth, with
the exception of those set over to James
H. Post were later acquired by H. O.
Havemeyer, and were voted lor him in
One narnr of lames H. Post &nd still
continue in the name of Post for the
benefit nf hi? h<>lrs. It is further alleged
that the National Sugar "Ftenrunc Com
pant, in June, I!*" 1 *" 1 , acquired stock in the
W. J. M^Cahan Sugar Refining Company
and has ,-.-■ since controlled th« output
of that company.
The Segal Loan Affair.
Th* bill further sets forth that the
American Sugar Refining Company ac
quired the stock of th« Baltimore Sugar
Refining Company and closed its re
finery: that it acquired control of and
dissolved- the United States . Sugar Re
fining Company, "promoted by Adolrh
Segal, and iat^r by means of a loan made
to S*gal by Guetave E. Kis?".!. one of
th*- director* of the tm?t, paralysed the
operations nt the Pennsylvania Sugar
Refining Company. . The relations of the
trust with the last named company have
been before the public in conn<K-tion
with the suit brought by the- receiver of
the company, which was settled by the
Sugar Trust in June. 1909. . .
Agreements with competitors for th«
fixing of prices before 1882, when it con
trolled '.**• per cent of the total output
of th» United States, and the weighing
frauds and rebating proved against the
company are further alleged as reasons
why the trust should be enjoined from
continuing business.
A tabulation of th* output of the cane
sugar refineries throughout the country
owe that the companies owned either
entirely or in part by the American
Sugar Refining Company turned out
4.017,053,109 pounds as the average in
the last three years, while the eight in
dependent companies operating through
out the country had an average output
in the same period of 1.570,843.702, so
that the trust manufactures <2 per cent
of the whole output of the country.
The alleged acts of the American
Sugar Refining Company in controlling
the beet sugar refining industry are de
scribed in the bill of complaint as sim
ilar to those used in gaining control of
the sugar production. It is charged that
in 1901 H. O. Havemeyer and Lowell
M. Palmer in undertaking to ruin the
thirty-one independent companies com
peting with the trust arranged for re
bates with the various railroads run
ning out of New York to the Middle
Weet States where beet sugar factories
were operating and flooded their mar
kets with refined sugar, which was sold
btlow the cost of production. As a
result of these tactics it is alleged the
Sugar Trust acquired control of the
great majority of the stock of the vari
ous beet root companies throughout the
country.
• Counsel Speaks for Trust.
"The company produces no raw
sugar." said James M. Beck, general
counsel of the American Sugar Refining
Company, after the government's suit
was filed. "It does not and cannot con
trol the price of the raw material; it
has no agreements, direct or Implied,
with other companies, and Is subject
daily to competition of the keenest char
acter; it has. Including its beet root
sujrar Interests, about Dl per cent of
the country's sugar trade, and it re
quires a liberal stretch of the imagina
tion to call this a monopoly, It does
not seek to etiJle competition or oppress
the consumer by advancing the cost of
a necessity of life. "
Mr. Beck quotes fig-urns to show that
while .th'"- commoditie* have advanced
- j*iii ■ i.;.:- befn reduced- in price from
Ksu -nit- In 1870 to 4 7«; In 1900, and

suit of the litigation, he assures \h
10.000 shareholders, nearly one-hair «ii

With the aid of the Pianola you can play at once without previous study <~>r

EXPLAINS DEWEY SELECTION
Long- Believed Him Best Man to
Command Asiatic Fleet.
Boston, Nov. 28.— j onn P. Long, for
mer Secretary of the Navy, takes excep
tion to a statement made by John Bar
rett, director of the Bureau of American
Republics, that he (Long) was opposed
to the appointment of Commodore
George Dewey to command the fleet
which captured Manila. The statement
is contained in one of. Mr. Barrett's pub
lications.
In a communication to the press to
day the former Secretary says:
"There was in the fall of 1807 a va
cancy in the command of the Asiatic
squadron. The turn of Dew.ey and an
other commodore for sea service had
come, and the choice was between them.
I selected Dewey. giving the other the
European .squadron, having' satisfied
myself by inquiry among naval experts
and without consideration of any out
side influences that each wag better fit
ted than the other for the post assigned.
President McKlnley never suggested
De.wey's name to me, nor was It men
tioned by him until I had made the se
lection and taken it to him for approval.
