" TAMMANY HALL WAS PIONEER AT BUSTING TRUSTS John E. Parsons Tells How Big Corporations Were Driven Into New Jersey. SCORE SUPREME COURT. Sugar Lawyer Declares Things Were Read Into Sherman Law to Avoid Panic. How Tammany Hall posed aa one of the first Trust Busters, and how the @tate of New Jersey owes her richness nd fortune as the mother of trusts to the keepers of the tiger came to-day as am interesting feature of the investiga- tlen of the Sugar Trust by the Spectal | |; Congressional Investigating Committee, which {s holding {ts session at Room No, 1% Federal Building. John EB. Parsons, head and front of the Sugar Trust's organization, after of the time hed a great deal to do with the formation of public opinion against corporate Interests,” Mr. Parsons said in answer to @ question. Mr. Parsons told the committee that he first thought about the Iden of combining sugar manufac. turers into one firm in 1887, but that the extension of the idea to the entire Sugar business came from Henry 0. Havemeyer and Theodore Havemeyer. It was a family dispute, anid the law- yer, that first brought him to the employ of the Havemeyers. He came into their counsels in 1873, when some of the family could not agree upon their personal matters, Maving brought the family combine together, he tried his hand upon the sugar business. The first agreement to Join hands In the sugar trade, he satd, was formed by the signing of articles by HM. O. Havemeyer for Havemeyer & Elder, and the other sugar companies trafled along In order of size, Representative Garrett of Tennessee wanted to know ne detalle of the Trust's formation and asked bow the Trust fixed the values of the plants it absorbed, “By the bricks and mortar and ma- chinery,” replied the witness. “Also jd like to say that if a company 80 was taken into consideration.” MR. PARSONS TELLS HOW TRUST WAS FORMED. “Wasn't the valuation fixed by the company? In other words, wasn't there water included?" “That is accorging to what you call water. If @ plant can be made to pro- fair income on any capltaliza- then I consider the price paid fair and having no water.” Mr. Garrett took up the formation of the American Sugar Refining Company THE EVENING WORLD, THURSDAY, JULY 20, and asked if Mr. Parsons counsel at that time. is is what happened, had been Mr. Gar- | days.
