PROGRESS IS REPORTED I'nion Theological Seminary Con troversy Caused by Kipulslon of Proressor Briggs Will Be Forgotten, Is Belief. LOUIS VILLK. May 17. When Dr. Mark A. Matthews, of Seattle. Wash, moderator of the 134lh general assem bly of the Presbyterian Church In the United States, opened today s session. It was announced that Rev. Dr. Wil liam Henry Roberts, stated clerk, was ready to lay on the table the reports of the boards, committees, and the list of overtures. Definite proaresa toward the resump. tlon of the former relationship be tween the Presbyterian Church and the Union Theological Seminary of New York was reported by the special com mittee delegated a year io for that purpose. Relations were severed with the seminary aeveral years ao when Charles Brigds. a professor, was ex pelled for heresy. The committee was continued for another year, with In structions to report to the. next as sembly. Among the things to be tsken up at thla assembly are the alleged heresy of the graded Sunday school lessons published by the Presbyterian board of publication, and the consolidation of the board of sustenatlon and tne ooara of ministerial relief. Among the overtures from synoas ana presbyteries are: From the synoa 01 v esi irim. asking ' action calling upon college presidents to consider the innuence 01 Intercollegiate rootoau on siuaeois. From the Portland Presbytery on "union among Presbyterian, Congrega tional and Methodist churches." From the Belief ontalne rresbytery. asking the assembly to incorporate bodily the latest metrical version 01 the psalms In the Presbyterian hymnal. From the Presbytery of Kansas City, asking the assembly to use for Im mediate purposes some of the Robert Kennetly legacy to the Church Exten sion Board. From the Presbytery of Chester, ask ing for the exclusive use of the Scrip tures as the text of all Sabbath school Instruction, and that all comments and explanations thereon be in harmony with the standards of the Church and the word of Oort. SUIT STRANGLED HILLES tCoat Inu'd from First Page.) dence could be secured to convict the corporation and possibly a number of Individuals concerned. There was de lay, of which Senator Hansbrough complained to President Roosevelt, and Mr. Bonaparte, wrote to the Senator thae- the case would receive Immediate attention. An effort was mads- on the one hand to procod with the prosecu tion: on the other hand, to secure delay through a protracted Investigation by the Bureau of Corporations. "In his written statement Townsend says that in the Spring of 107 he was abruptly ordered to the Pacific Coast to begin another Investigation and was therefore compelled to drop the Har vester matter. Drfeaa Held tflcleet. -He said: 'Attorney-General Bona parte told me ttte reason why I had not been authorlied to Institute the Har vester trust suits. Shortly after I left Washington In the Spring of t07. the Harvester trust people In some way learned of my report and asked per mission of Atlorney-Oeneral Bona parte to file a written statement by way of defense. Mr. Bonaparte con sidered this statement of the Har vester trust! not only Insuf fli-ient by way of defense, but as a direct admis sion of all the essential facts, showing a violation of the anti-trust law. - Shortly afterward Mr. Perkins (the organiser of the Harvester trust!, called upon Mr. Bonaparte In com pany with Herbert Knox Smith and I think. Cyrua H. McCormlck. They re quested Mr. Bonaparte to accompany them on a visit to President Roosevelt for the purpose of persuading v the President to refrain from prosecuting the Harvester trust. Mr. Bonaparte refused to do so. upon the ground that the written ststement flld by the Hsr rc9ter trust was in effect a confession of a violation of the U and there 7 Jr. V- 1. MATTHEWS. fore he (Mr. Bonaparte) would not stultify himself by temporizing with the subject in any manner. Colonel Is 1'erwnnded. -Thereafter Mr. Perkins and Mr. Smith (and I think Mr. McCormlck) went out and Interviewed President Roosevelt and succeeded In rersuadlng him not to prosecute the Harvester trust, and shortly thereaftor President Roosevelt Instructed Attorney-General Bonaparte not to take action. " 'Attorney-General Bonaparte gave me this explanation for the purpose of assuring me that he had not Inten tionally broken his word with me in the matter of authorising me Co insti tute a suit against the Harvester trust. Mr. Bonaparte plainly Indicated to me that he was offended because the rec ommendatlona of the Harvester trust people had more weight with the Presi dent than his own recommendation and advice.' " Mr. Hllles then refers to Colonel Roosevelt's declaration that none of the papera In the Harvester trust ever were suppressed and reviews the re cent presentation of some of the pa pers to the Senate. The statement then continues: "These papers show that the Har vester trust was about to be prosecuted for rebating, but promised to do bet ter, which promise was satisfactory to the Attorney-General. Other trusts, probably not of the benevolent variety, were fined for rebating and had to set tle In the courts. Morgan Interests Considered. "The suppressed papers show also that George W. Perkins was referred to as the representative of the "far reaching Morgan Interests.' and that Mr. Perkins said to Commissioner Smirk that if the Harvester trust was to be attacked, then the Morgan In terests were 'going to fight," where upon Mr. Smith wrote to President Roosevelt that "It Is a very practical question whether It Is well to throw away now the great Influence of the so-called Morgan Interests." "President Roosevelt had sent the re port to the Attorney-General with these directions: "Please don't file the suit till I hear from you." "Colonel Roosevelt met the damaging disclosure by saying that Mr. Taft, as a member of his cabinet, had' advised the action that substantially was tak en. He even alleged that If his mem ory served him. Mr. Taft made the mo tion In the cabinet meeting which re sulted in substituting an Investigation for a prosecution. Department Records Produced. "The records of the War Department were then produced by President Taft, to show that In the Fall of 1907, during the full period of the correspondence, he was absent from the country. Col onel Roosevelt then shifted his ground and said that President Taft approved the suppression of the suit after his return In January, 1S08. "Thla last charge is disproved by the record, which shows that on No vember 7, 1907 (Mr. Taft was out of the country from early In September until late In December. 1S07). Mr. Herbert Knox Smith, the commissioner of the' bureau of corporations, telephoned Mr. Perklna at the President's order that the President took the view that the bureau's Investigation should be brought before the suit. Why. then, would the matter be brought before the Cabinet for serious discussion In Janu ary. 190S? If It was brought before ! the Cabinet In January, then Mr. Perk- Ins had a "scoop of 60 days on the President's contidential advisers. It Is significant also that the order directed Commissioner Smith to communicate with Mr. Perkins, of 5. P. Morgan & Co, and not the President or attorney r-for the Harvester trust.

In connection with the ccnrentioa of la siatlonal Cas Enin AuociatMsv Witness Admits Trust Was Willing to Buy for Sake of Eliminating Competition Profits Paid Into Common Fund. NEW YORK. May 17. Methods pur sued by the Sugar Refineries Company to gain and retain control of the sugar Industry In America were described to day by Julius A. Stursburg, up to 1887 treasurer of the Brooklyn Sugar Re finery Company, In the Government's dissolution suit against the so-called "sugar trust." Mr. Stursburg said that although the Refineries company trustees held the stock of the Brooklyn company, the Brooklyn company was permitted to run Its own affairs, with the exception of fixing its output. This was fixed by the trustees, he said. These trustees also instructed other companies whose stock they held as to how much sugar they could produce, he said. Profits Paid to Trustees. ""All of the profits of the Brooklyn Refinery were turned over to the trus tees, weren't they?' asked Mr. Wise. "I think nearly all the profits were." "What became of the rest of the profits?" "It was used as working capital." This, so far as the witness knew, was the course pursued In all other refiner ies controlled by the trustees. On cross-examination Mr. Stursburg said that the physical valuation of the Brooklyn plant In 188J was more than 1.500.000. The profits in 1883-4. he said, were about 1500,000. . When the company entered the pool controlled by the Sugar Refineries Company trus tees, he said, the stockholders received for their holdings as trustees certifi cates of a par value of about S3.S00.000, which he considered a fair price. Prior to 1887, when the Refineries company was formed, the witness said there was little profit In the business and several refineries failed. Effort to Cwrtall la Failure. The effort of the Refineries company to curtail production was unsuccessful, with the result that prices were low ered, sugar was sold without regard to cost and the business was demoralised, the witness said, in response to ques tions on cross-examination. "Don't you know," asked Mr. Wise, when this consolidation was made that many of the plants would be shut down V "We believe in operating only the modern and best equipped plants," Mr. Stursburg said. "In a word, you were willing to pay for the plants' shutdown, were you not, to eliminate their competition T" "I suppose you could put It that way." the witness replied. He added that when the trustees failed to cur tail production sufficiently for their purpose, the American Sugar Refining Company was formed, with $50,000,000 capital.
