The meetlng was Intenaely enthuslastlc,
and Governor Johnson was freely and

The mentlon of Colonel Roosevelt brought
the audlence to Its feet, cheering heartlly.
Governor j4>hnson characterlzed Presi?

present contest, and devoted a part of
hls speech to attacklng Governor Wil?
son's reeord on the trust qu.-stlon.
The Callfornian deserlbed the birth of
the Progresslv.- party, and said Mr. Taft
had been nominated at a convention In
whlch a mlnorlty had been converted into
a seeming majorlty at the dlctatlon of a

Th.- convention by its actlon, Oovernor

C. August Spreckels. president of the

Btgry of the sugar wars ln thls country {
between 1876 and 1891 at the hearlng of I
the federal sult against the Amerlcan
Sugar Reflning Company In the Postofflce |
Buiiding before Special Kxamlner Wilson
B. Brlce yeaterday. Hla story will be re
aumed on Friday.
In answer to questlon* by Mr. Knapp.
Asaietant I'nited States District Attorney.
Mr. Spreckela aald he entered the augar
infining business ln 1878, when he be?
came .wretary of the C**llfornia Sugar
Company, founded by hla father, Claus
Spreckela. Ita raw sugar was purchaaed
ir Hawall, by eontraet, and augar from
the Phllipplne lalands. Java and Routh
Ameriea was hought in the open market.
and the reflned product of the company
was sohl ev?4ywhr're west of the Mlssour!
Rlver.
There were but two reflnerlej* ln the
country WSSt of the Mlaaouri Rlver, that
of the Californla company and of the
Amerteaa Sugar Reflnery Company, the
wltness aald. Between them until 1886
there exlated an agreement by which the
Californla company waa to Bell four-flftha
Of the sugar sold In ita aectlon of the
country and the Amerlcan one-flfth.
Prlce* heM at two centa a pound ab4>ve
the Kew Tork market through an ar
rangement as to frelght rates with the
rallroada.
In 1SST) the Hawalian plentera obtained
control of the Amerlcan Sugar Reflnery
Company and a war waa started on the
PadflC Slope, with prlces cut below the
cost of productlon.
In AOgUSt, 1S87, the witness said that
John K Bearlea came to the offlce of the
Californla company. In San Krandseo, and
asked ClaUS Spreckels, father of the wlt?
ness, to go into the Sugar Reflneriea Com
pany, Ul procesa of formatlon. The elder
Bprechela leferred Mr. Bearles to the wit?
ness. The grttneas aald tha^he told Mr.
Bearles that the Californla company would
not go Into the new comblnatlon. but j
wonld ba glad to agree to conflne ita op
eratlona to the territory weet of the Mis
sourl Rlver, If the comblnatlon would
Bgree tO keep out of that territory.
"Mr Bearlea aald hc would report fo hla
aaaoelates, and that was the last I heard
from him." said the witness, "but a few
months later we learned that the new
comblnatlon had bought the Amerlcan
bUgar Reflnery Company. and immediate?
ly my father deeided to InvadS Philadel?
phia "
Ihe witness then told of buiiding the
factory of the Ppreckela Sugar Reflnlnir
Company at Philadelphia, with a eapacity
of l,750,OM pounda B day, with himaelf as
general manager. The war went on, wlth
all handa ln Philadelphia aelllng sugar at
prlces below cost of productlon until some
time late in 18H0. The witneas contlnued
Pranda <>. afatlhlassen came to me at
that tlma and told tne that the Sugar
Rr>finerle? Companv could not stand the
loaa ar.v longer: thst he had purchased
control of the atock. and that he would
llke to end the war I agreed thq-t it
would be ple;(aanter to make money, and
the followlng morning both of ua ad
vanced prlcea and for about aix weeks
Wi made money. Then suddenly ani
without warninK the other alde hroke the
market and the war was on agaln
Aboi t two years later I ran Into Mr.
Matthleaaen one day and aaked him why
he had CUt the price that time. and he
told me that H. O. Havemeyer and T. A.
Havemeyer and John K. Searlea had toio
him when he reported the agreement to
them that while he (Matthleaaen) con
trolled the Btock he muat continue to
flght Hpreckele or thev would wlthdraw
from the Sugar Rertnerles Company ano
bulld reflnerlc* of their own.
Still later. when 1 talked to Mefisre.
Havemeyer and Mr. Searlea, they admlt?
ted that they had so told Mr. Matthiesuen.
hut deelared they had no intention of
doing ao, n.erely wiahing to eoerce Mr?
Matthleasen Into followlng their sugge??
tlona.
About the time that the agreement wlth
Mr Matthiesaen was broken I met Mr.
Searlea on <i ferryboat golng Into Phila?
delphia, and he asked for a conference.
He told me that If we would aell a half
tntereat In the Spreckels company we
would get a very good prlce and the oppo
aitlon would agrec to keep out of the ter?
ritory west of fhe Mlaaourl Rlver.
I was pleased wlth the offer and com
munlcated wlth my father in San Kran?
dseo. He replled that lf Mr Searlea
wanted to do buaineaa with him Mr.
Searles would have to go to San Fran
claco. T luformed Mr. Searlea, who said
he could not posslbly go *so far, but my
father for the second time said buslnesa
must be tranaacted In San Kranelsco or
not at all. and then Mr Searlea said he
would comprnmise to the extent of golng
to San Dlego. but that he could not go
nearer San Franclaco than that because
he waa in contempt of court. My father
then agreed to meet Mr. Searlea ln San
Dlego.
As a result of the conference, hetween
the elder Spreckela and Mr. Searles the
latter man nnd the Meaara Havemeyer
hought J5 per cent of the stock ln the
Spreckels company and the Weatern
Sugar Reflnlng Company was organUed.
Just before that the Amerlcan Sugar Re
flnlng Company waa organlzed
After the Havemeyers and Mr. Searlea
had hought the mlnorky Intereat ln the
Spr?oke!s company. wltness remalned aa
general manager until December, 1891, he
aald.
"Why dld you qult?" asked Mr. Knapp.
"Well, lt seemed that 1 dldn't pleaae
anvhody wlth my conduct of the com
pany's buBiness, and so I qult. My father
wrote to bbo that the trust waa complain
Ine of my refusal to heed auggestlons aa to
prlce* and amount of meltlngs, and I aald
to myaelf that the mlnority never ahould
Control the rnajority, and when lt dld so
it was time for BBB to get out."
