Asked how the so called trust was formed, witness said that in 1883, when his Brooklyn factory was burned, he did not think it sate to rebuild in this coxntry because of possible changes in the tariff. Aftersome cousidera- tion, however, he did rebuild ata cost of 7,000,000 in eighteen months. ‘L'hey did not capitalize the compamy at its full values, This would have placed them at a disadvan- tage as to competitors who were not forced to pay the taxes they were, The capital was put at $00,000. Finally nis brother and himself decided’ to submit their interests and stock to the trustees of the sugar refiners company and received therefor a certain amount of sugar refiners’ certificates of stock He refused to state this amount, and when asked the value of the plant when they formed the trust said he could not tell. Besides the plant’s actual valve, it represented the expe- rience of erations and a_private patent process which could not be valued. He would value the establishment now a §15,000,000 without _considering the good will. ' When asked what his reasous were for joining all these other companies, Mr. Havemeyer said: %1 wanted to putall other orgunizationson the same footing with us. We were able to refin sugarl0 cents per 100 pounds cheaper than they could. Wehad been repeatedly accused of controlling a monopoly. These people labored under the supposition‘that we were condu ing our business illegally.”” Mr. Havemeyer repeated continually that he was anxious to give the committed the fullest inforwation in his power, but hib testimony was as near as he would vome to his real reasons for jois ing the trust. In he left it to be in ferred that the reasea which mainly gov- erned him was the ‘gemeral welfare of the public. Adjourned uatit Saturday.

WILL A Big New York National Trouble, New Yomrk, March 2.—An official an- nouncement was made tonight that the Washington National bank, at No. 1 Broad- way, would nét open its doors tomorn The bank's resources have been loaued out by the president to two friends, and the di: covery of the condition was accidentally made, The bauk is not a member of the clearing house association, but clears throngh the Gallatin National bank. Under the rule of the clearing house which went into effect January 1 bauks clearing In this city must submit their accounts to examination by the clearing house, Today Bank Examiner Hepburn, repre- senting the clearing house, appeared at the Washington bank to examine its affairs. Ho soon aiscovered that its capital was im- paired. As soon as this anpouncement was made President Sherman, who has beea in charge of the bank, was prostrated, but re- covered sufficiently to inform the directors that he had been too libe-al in lending money to s friends, Two accounts have been dis- covered, footing up 121,000, that are proba- blya total loss. One is for £0,000, secured by poor and worthless collateral, and the other is a draft for £0.00 on John Silva, which had been cashed by the president and “hung on_the book.”” [tis said that Silva has promised to make the drait good tomor- row. Tie bank had a eapital of 00,000 and de- posits of §00,00. The only oficers present when the complete announcement was made by the bank examiner were CashierJ. T. Graingerand Director Sidney Tighlman. The president had goneaway, no one knew where. The president of the Gailatin bank at once gave notice that his institution would no longer clear for the Washington bank. This will prevent any attempt being made to make upthe losses Director Tighlman said: “The hank will be placed in charge of Bank Examiner Hep- burn_ and most probably wound up. I am positive that every depositor wiil be' paid in ull.” Cashier Grainger said _the developments were a surprise to both himself and the di rectors, None of them had any idea that the president wasinvoivea in any irregular trans- actionsand he could say nothing about the details of the methods by which the funds were withdrawn. Director Tighlman said that he discovered some slight {rregularitics about a week ago. Au investigation disclosed _an fmpairment of capitalin the neighborhood of #75,000. The ofticials of the Gallatin National were very friendly ana promised to coutinue to clear for the bank if the impairment was mnade good ighlman was about to pay in acheck for §15,000 today when President Sherman dis- closed other things which nad been concealed, increasing ~ the impairme fully #0000. Under these ¢ cumstances Tighlman did not see how the bank could continue. “We bogan business last June.” said he, “with a paid-up capital of &0,000. The divectors sl had con- fidence in President Sherman, and it did seem as though 1 man who had been cashier of an artive New York bank for a num be which had deposits and capital amounting to nearly §,000,000, would be able to run suc- cessfully'a small bank starting with 830,000 capital, The directors have held regular meetings and given considerable attention to the details of the bank, but it s it was not possible to follow the intricacies of a well conceived plan for hiding facts in re- gard to the condition of the oank.
