HAVEMEYER DROVE HIS BROTHER OUT OF SUGAR FIRM Theodore Made a Traffic Agree- ment That Did Not Suit, Says Former Trust Director. PALMER FREE IN TALK, Admits Violation of Elkins Law and Is Rather Candid on Stock Watering. WASHINGTON, June 15.—Lowell M. Palmer, formerly a director of the American Sugar Refining Company, was an interesting witness to-day before the House Sugar Investigation Committee. Mr. Palmer said that in 18% 1. 0, Havemeyer drove Theodore A. Have- meyer out of the firm of Harris & Have- Meyer of Philadelphia, because Theo- dore had made an advantageous rate agreement with the Pennsylvania Rail- road. This agreement, he sald, was harmful to the Brooklyn refineries. Former Senator Depew, he said, was the only man now living who knew of the manner in which the New York Central had come to the rescue of the Havemeyers at times. Palmer said that he had been closely associated with Henry O, Havemeyer in the cooperage, lighterage and rail- road business from 1873 to 196. Before he became a director of the American Sugar Refining Company, Palmer satd, he had charge of the “contracts and agreements between the sugar company and railroads.” He said that Thomas P. Reilly, now on Blackwell's Island, was his assistant and made about 09 per cent. of the agreements. “Why {g he on Blackwell's Island?” asked Madison. “Because he stole records from the office of District Attorney Wise," sald Palmer. Palmer admitted that the sugar in- terests obtained rebates on freight rates vrior to 1891. “After that I ma arrangement whereby the American Sugar Refining Company was supposed to pay a full rate," said Palmer, “because the pay- ment of a full rate was more often @ theory than a fact.” He declared that rebates were neces- sary because of the flerce competition in those days, Tho same competition forced the organization of the sugar trust, he sald. FIRST STEPS IN FORMATION OF SUGAR TRUST. When relating how H. 0. had driven Theodore Havemeyer out of the firm of Harris & Havemeyer in 1886, Palmer said that subseq: traffic agreement was made which re- sulted in a division of the shipments of the sugar company among all the rail- roads, This agreement, he asserted, was in force even after passage of the anti-rebate law, Once when !t was en- dangered by a rate-uctting war, mer sald he secured a lower rate from the railroads, which he admitted was In violation of the Elkins law Palmer ared that the conc granted to the American 5 ing Company were given likew its competitor Discussing the orlginal “trust formed 1887, he was sure there was a amount of “wa tn the stock he couldn't gue w much, HEIKE STILL BAFFLES THE IN- QUISITORS. A resolution adopted in 1898 by the @irectors of the American Sugar Re- fining Company authorizing thelr com- mittee to fix the price of sugar and to buy the output of “outside refineries at terms to be fixed at their discretion” confronted the officials of the company to-day when they appeared before the House committee. The resolution had been found in the minute book of the company that the committee had required it to produce. Representative Madison had the resolu- tion read as preliminary to his examina- tion of Lowell M. Palmer, formerly a Grector of the company, to follow the conclusion of the testimony of Charles B. Helke, formerly secretary of the company. Charles R. Helke, for years secretary of the American Sugar Refining Com- pany, was again @ witness before the Committee to-day. In beginning his ex- amination Chairman Hardwick told Mr. Heiko he wanted to inquire into his per- sonal knowledge and pot his official re- lation with the American Sugar Refin- ing Company. “Didn't you have at the time any idea of the purpose of the merger of the sugar refineries?” Mr. Hardwick asked, “I knew less then than now," replied Heike. yell from your present knowledge what would you say was the purpose?” large company can do business at a reduced cost.” “And there 1s less competition?” sug- 1 Mr, Hardwick, . Heike explained to the committes that when he appeared before the Grand Jury in New York the District-Attorney had notified him on what subjects he would be examined. “That has not been done in this case ani I am not so well prepared to an- swer your questions,” he added, HAVEMEYER HELD A SMALL AMOUNT OF STOCK, Btill relying on the witness's personal Se nen enc elnino _scmntuimmteonsemamaneeisneisaman tenn THE EVENING THE LAND OF MAKE-BELIEVE By Eleanor Schorer SUMMER LOVE.
