"FATHER COULD HAVE BUSTED 'EM HAD HE WANTED TO," HE DECLARED Admits Comitctitlon Was Reduce! ns Result of Consolidation Subpoena Sent Smith, the Mormon. Washington, June 21. The consoli dation of the National, the New York and the Yonnerg Refining1 companies into the National Sugar Kenning com pany of New Jersey was effected by the late President Henry t). Hnve meyer, of the American Sugar Refin ing company, as "an act of phllan trophy," according to his son, Horace Havemeyer, who testified . yesterday afternoon before the house special committee on the Investigation of the so-called Sugar Trust affairs. Mr. Hovemeyer, who will continue his story of Bugar corporation coups this afternoon, said that his father saw that the three companies were practically "busted, that they were "about on their last legs" and "he saw himself In a position where ho could either bust up all these fellows or take them all In and he took them all In, The witness said that his father's pur pose In this combination i was to pre serve In this combination was to pre- holuera and make their, operaUona a success. "I got that evidence from my aunt, Mrs. S, T. Peters, who Was a very close associate of his, and about the only person to whom he talked. except my mother, $n regard to busi ness matters." The -witness said that he thought this father's original In tention was to sell this $10,000,000 National common stock to the Amer ican, taking a part of the American, but he was advised by John D. John son, of Philadelphia, that "it was not only improper but possibly illegal." Mr. Havemeyer said that he did not think his father went in and out of the sugar market He told of the liti gation now pending involving his am bition to control a national company by purchase of 61 per cent, of the pre ferred Btock and make a legitimate competitor. Discussing his father's reasons for selling his comparatively small hold ing, about. 1200 shares of the Ameri can Sugar Refining company, the wit ness said: i - "I think he sold It to stop a set of speculators from putting up the stock to where it was bound to result In a terrible break in the market and to Injure what he considered were the people entitled to protection. Some man accused him once of running that company for his own benefit and for stock manipulation. I think it was While, the "receiver appointed with him in the case of this North River Sugar Refining company. R made him so sick that he cleared out as understand It." Mr, Havemeyer de clared the combination of three com panies into the National Sugar Refin ing company had the effect of Increas ing trade, "And decreasing competition?" sug gested Chairman Hardwick. "No," corrected Mr. Havemeyer. "The production of the National has been 100 per cent greater than that cf the three separate companies. "Oh, I will admit that competition was reduced," added the witness a moment later, "but through the Na tional these properties were put upon their feet and made able to compete harder with outside competitors." Representative Sulzer suggested that If the witness gained control of the National he might want to com bine with Ihe American. "No. I want to have a say about my own affairs, and If I did that I know I could not," was the reply. The subpoena of the house was yes terday sent to the United States mar shal at Salt Lake City to be served on Joseph F. Smith, head of the Mormon church, requiring his presence before the committee.

"Dear Sir: The , 'Back Home' movement Is growing here In the west I hear more of It every day; and I want to tell you that the west ern railroads are getting scared. A few days ago I was called to the phone by the immigration agent of the Great Northern who asked me to take lunch with him. I had not be fore met him, but nevertheless ac cepted the invitation. When we were seated at table, he asked me how long I had lived In the west and What part of . the south I was from. His next question was: 'Are you the Bacon who has been writing unfavorable letters about the west and which have been published In the Southern newspapers to further a scheme to get people to go "back homeT"' I In formed him that I waa the man. He then said, with the typical bull-dox-Ing manner of the west: 'you see by my card that I am the Great North ern immigration agent, and I am also a member of the Seattle Commercial club, which has several hundred members. My purpose In meeting you is to say that this letter Writing has got to stop. It is hurting our business and unless you stop it you are going to get Into trouble.' I ask ed him If he knew my residence and telephone number. He said they had them both. I then said, 'All right, whenever you want to start the trouble you know where to And . me. Neither you nor all the boosting clubs In the west can stop me.1 ' I Inclose the names of 14 here in this city who want literature about the good old 'back home' country." 1 Morgan Is being presented to the foreign kings, ttuy one and bring him home, Plerp!
