atock. he said. Representative Garrett
of Tennessee, who conducted the ex
amination of Cutler, asked about the
first entrance of Mr. Haremeyer Into
the affairs of the company.
"In DO:." said the witness. I first
met Mr. II. O. IlaTemeyer."
Havemrjer Open Subject.
T1d you approach him or did he ap
proach you" asked Garrett.
"Mr. Ha-remeyer approached me,"
waa the reply, "and It waa for a differ
ent purpose than a;.ierally supposed.
I had been hunting; capital for years
for the sugar Interests In which we
were Interested and had been In tha
Kast many times. Mr. Haremeyer had
heard of me and sent an aarent to
Ttah to see me. He sent William V.
WlUetts. Mr. Wllletts arranged for
me to co to New York to see Mr.
Havemeyer.
"I went to New York and though
tlr. Ilavemryer was the only man I
tret at that time. I Judgi-d that he waa
negotiating for the Amnrlcan fugar
Refining Company because he used the
word "we" In all his conversations. Mr.
Havemeyer said to me: 'We hae de
rided to go Into the be't sugar busi
ness. We have heard of your sucess
West. We sent for yoa to see If you
couldn't help us In establishing beet
sugar plants In any good localities In
the I'ntted States.
Capital I Offered.
"I told Mr. lUvemejrer that I could
sot think of such a proposition at that
time. Then he made a proposition to
me to supply one-half of all the capital
If we would agree to furnish the other
half, and he proposed 'to start the deal
that our stockholders sell the American
companv the other companies."
Mr. Cutler explained that this subject
was- taken up with the stockholders
and after he had made several trips be
tween New Tork and Utah, tha deal
ws closed with Mr. Havemeyer.
The committee concluded the examina

Company had nothing to do with the
Michigan Sugar Refining Company, and

officers of the latter company.
"Senator Burrows never msde a state
ment In the Senate." Mr. Warren re
plied, "nor did he read any letter from
the Michigan Sugar Refining Company
on the floor of the Senate.
"I'idn't Senator Burrows say that the
American Sugar Refining Company had
so Interest In the Michigan company?"

"No. there was not." said Mr. Warren.
Mr. Stair and Mr. McMillan talked of
no such matter and neither did L There

F.CGENE. Or, June 22. Special.)
One hundred and eight applicants for
teachers' certificates, the lsrgest num
ber ever taking the county examina
tions In Eugene, assembled In tha High
School building yesterday.
111a of domestic life; It Is a cure for
all the unhappiness and Immorality of
married life; It Is the remedy for the
evils of divorce and desertions.
This was the attitude today of Mil
dred Bridges. 17-year-old priestess of
the absolute Ufa cult. In a final desper
ate light for her honor at the trial of
Evelyn Arthur See on a charge of ab
duction. Wifehood and motherhood were tha
themes of Mildred as her first oppor
tunity was given her to reveal her
views. The chance came when a law
yer for the defense asked her to ex
plain her love note to See and then
plunged Into a discussion of the Book
of Truth, written by See.
"What did you mean when you said
you were his wife?" asked tha coun
sel for the defense.
Spiritual Wifehood Meant.
"I meant that I wanted to live such
a good and pure life that I would be
prepared to be a wife In the sense that
the world means."
"What do you mean by wifehood?"
1 mean the spiritual wifehood. That
part of me which la wedded to tha
truth."
"What la meant by the birth of a new
racer
"That means that some time in the
distant future a race will develop which
will be free from selfishness and be
what God ordained.
-The doctrines of absolute life are
the same as those governed by the
statutes and right living. According
to the ukase of absolute life a woman
must study to be a wife before she
takes the vows. She must know what
It means to be a mother. She loves
her children Instead of cursing them.
When a woman Is prepared for mar
riage according to the teachings of ab
solute life, all the Immorality, all the
unhappiness. all the separations and all
the desertions that lead to divorce will
end."
In her cross-examination by the state
earlier In the day the witness had de
clared :
"1 am still a pure girl; I am as pure
as the day I went to live at the Tem
ple of See. My honor and name have
been assailed, but truth will triumph."
"Are you In your opinion what might
be called a delinquent, according to
law?" ahe was asked.
"No: I am not."
"Were you with Mona Reese at 2541
Racine avenue?"
"Yes."
"Do you believe your association with
her has benefited your
"Yes."
Mona Ilces to Be Called.
It was the Intention of Mr. Burn
hsm to plsce Mona on the witness
stsnd Wednesday, but the long drawn
out examination of Mildred Bridges In
terfered with the plans.
Mona. like Mildred, repeatedly has
declared she would refuse to testify
against See. hut Mr. Burnhara when
asked sbout It only smiled and Inti
mated that he had enough ammunition
to force the witness to reveal the in
nermost secrets of See's "Temple."
"Mildred, you know, openly boasted
that she would never tell anything
against See." said Mr. Burnham. with
a smile. "Nevertheless. In my opinion,
she told although unwlU1rly. enough
to send the defendant to state prison."
