expressed surprise at the -luck of tne
National Sugnr Refining Company ml
having a President without a salary, j
His questions led the witness to re?
peat that H. O. Havemeyer gave nim j
{500.000 of the common stock of tliej
National "because 1 never received I
salary as president."
Mr. Post also said that B. H. Unwell, ',
i-'on & Company got a commission oi .
one-half of i per cent, for handling \
the business of the National. Tr.i> j
amounted to about 52.'0,00u a year
As one e< Vne three partners of B. ii
Howoli,' Soil -S Company, Mr, Post said
he received $50,000 to J 00,000 out ol
Ibis $220.000.
Replying to a rapid fire of quesHons
from Representative Sulzer, Mr. Post
declared that H. O. Havemeyer, al?
though controlling the American
Bug;-.r Heflnlng Company "through his
brains and high obillty," and although
Interested In the National S-ugar Re?
fining Company. never suppressed
Competition between them.
There was never any concert In the

said Mr. Post. "Strange as Ii may
Feoiri, that Is true."
"Why wasn't there?" asked Mr

"You would have sold sugar much
cheaper If you had not watered your

Mr. Post objected to the use of the
word "watered," but to the Question
said: "No. Because the economies prac?
ticed by the company have more than
offset the dividends on the stock."
"Mr, Post, have yon made any effort
to get back those $10,000,000 of stock?"
inquired Representative Sulzer, re?
ferring again to the stock Havemeyer
obtained by the organization of the

Trend of Population to Cities
Largely Due to Unimproved
Conditions.
[Special to The Times-Dispatch.]
Washington. June 19.?"Philosophers
who have been deploring the trend of
population from, country to city." said
Logan Waller Page, director of tho
Lulled States Office of Public Roads, j
to-day, "might as well save the'r]
energy, unless they are prepared to
help change the conditions responsible
for the migration. At the root of this
condition are the poorly kept roads of
the country. It is certain that this
farmers do not get tho use of titelt
share of the money earned in the
United States. There are now ovet j
90,000,090 people in this country, and
nearly onc-thltd are farmers and their
families. Tho products of tho farm aru
responsible for more than one-third
of the wealth and commerce of tha
country. No one can say, however, that
one-third of this wealth is used by tho
farmer In the betterment of the coun?
try districts.
"It is due to the Inactivity and lack
of co-operation among the farmers
that country districts have become de?
populated. The 'back to tho country'
movement has had a considerable
vogue at sumptuous banquets In the
cities, but the movement has not
gotten far otil of town, for the simple
reason that life in the slums, despite
all theories, frequently is much more
livable lhan life in the country.
"While fine phrases con be made in
the discussion of the joy and health of
hand labor 'n the open air and under
the sun. it is a fact that conditions in
the cities are much more healthful to?
day lhan conditions in tho country.
Sanitation is better, and the air in
tenements Is little worse than tho air
in many country houses, where, be?
cause of the extreme cold and lack of
proper heating apparatus, the windows
must be kept closed from October until
May.
"Improper sanitation, poor drainage
and poor highways In the' country
have brought about as great a per?
centage of disease as exist in the city.
Whllo country people are free, as a
rule, from tuberculosis, they are ex?
tremely liable to typhoid fever, pneu?

brought on by Improper drainage ana

this condition. Improved roads win
give to the country districts the im?
provements enjoyed by fashionable
suburbs, and will improve drainage
and wipe out Isolation. In most local?
ities life on farms invariably becomes,
as a result of bottomless roads, Iso?
lated and debarred of social enjoyment
and pleasures, and country people
In some communities st..-er such
disadvantages that ambition Is check?
ed, energy weakened and Industry par?

put natural that persons engaged In
fainting, especially the younger folks,
should -seek the life and gaiety of too

music.

Manchester, Conn., June 18.?The po?
lice here have a puzzling case In Ed- I
ward Rudant, an eight-year-old bnj? '
who has confessed to n dozen carefully
planned robberies which occurred re?
cently. The lad is too young to be
admitted to any institution In the State",
and he has not been arrested, although
the police declare that his extraordi?
nary criminal tendencies make it un?
wise to allow him longor at largo.
The boy has been a constant smoker
of cigarettes for noarly half of his
brief life time, and the police aasert
that his nddlctlon to this habit has so
weakened his moral sense that hft real?
ly does not know right from wrong.
