great sugar war In the early '90s b(
tMO Clans Spreckeis In the West and
Henry O. Havemryer In the East, result
l.-.C tn an alliance between them, were
related today to tha sugar front Investi
gating committee of the Hons by John
I). Sprrrke'.e. no of the Pacific Coast
auirar magnate, and president of the
Western Sugar Refining Company, of
Fan ""ranel-.co.
"When Claus Spreckeis met Henry O.
Havemeyer tn that old siurar war.' asked
Kpreenttlve Madison. "It was a con
test of Ureek against Srek. was It not
-It certainly was a fight."
Mr. Spreck'is then described how. dur
ing the sugar war. his father Invaded
the Eastern territory and erected a great
cane sugar rerlnery la Phtladeiphla.
That brought about the culmination of
the flght.
"Who was the first of those two mas
ters to throw tip his hands?" Mr. Madl
n asked.
Havemrjer First to Quit.
"I think It was Havemeyer." said Mr.
Fpreckels. "When we entered the East
In the fight, of coarse botu my father
and Mr. Haremeyer realized they were
lnslrg money. They came to their senses
and. In shore raine together and con
cluded that such a fight was of no use.
It resulted In a consolidation of the
plants In the East and the formation of
tf-e Western i"uir Refining Company In
l a'lforr.la. which took over the Ameri
can Sugar Refining Company plant and
oar plant there.
"Tiie American plant In the West was
closed down. Each side took a half In
terest In the new company. In the East.
the entire Philadelphia Spreckeis plant
was eventually sold to the American
Sugar Rennins; Company. That was. I
think. In I)!.-'
Competition Is Plentiful.
"After that there never was any com
petition between Spreckeis and Hare
meyer. was there?" Mr. Madison In
quired. "No. but there' has since been plenty
of other competition."
Mr. Spreckeis also described bow Mr.
Havemeyer became associated with them
In POT la the Spreckeis Beet Sucar Com
panr. tn the erection of th largest beet
.icar plar.t In the world.
H further related the history of an
agreement In lt9 between the Western
Pucar Reflclnr Company with a rival
cn'ern. the Callfornla-Hawaalan Sucar ,
l omptnr, whereby the plant of the lat
ter was leased by the former and ahut
l"wn for three years. Eventually It was
turned back to th original owners and
li again a competitor. This transaction,
Mr. Spreckeis said, he was advised by
counsel, was not a violation of th Sher
man anti-trust law.
Tariff Held Vnwarranted.
The witness declared that In hi
"pinion free trade In sugar would ruin
the beet sugar business; and fce prophe-
eied that with tne tariff on sugar left
alone California alone could furnish
enough sugar from beets to supply th
entire United States and to warrant
the tariff protection of the Industry.
In annwer to questions by Kepresen
tatlve Hinds. Mr. Spreckeis aald th
American Sugar Refining Company did
not have a monopoly of the sugar busi
ness of the country.
"If their motive In coming to Call-
rornia was to monopolise the sugar
business, they did not succeed." Mr.
t-preckels declared.
"Well, the American Sugar Refining
Company having half of your stock
re yon conscious of competition with
them in Missouri River territory
asked Mr. Hinds.
"Oh. yes." was the reply. W com
pete with their New Orleans and New
Tork output In that territory."

problom of modern life, additional les-
aona of this nature were Issued to run

"Absolute Iilfe" Discoverer In His
Writings, Doomed Father of ni
drcd Bridget to Death.
CHICAGO. June I Judge Honor,
In whose court the trial of Evelyn Ar
thur 8ee. founder of "Absolute Life,
Is being; conducted, this afternoon
ordered that the Jury be locked up for
the remainder of the trial, on represen
tations by the defense that the Jury
men might be Influenced by cartoons
and reports appearing In the news
papers. Court adjourned early to allow
the Jurors to secure such personal ef
fects as they may need.
Mildred Bridges was recalled to the
witness stand by the defense when the
trial of See was resumed.
Attorney Cantwell. representing the
defendant, elicited a statement from
the witness that she never had read
that' part of the Book of Truth" en
titled "Family and Personality."
The reading of "Book 13" was taken
up by Attorney Burnham. of the prose
cution. This book In part deals with
Stephen Bridges, father of Mildred, the
state's principal witness.
"For five years he (Bridges) read in
reverence, but now he has fallen." read
Buffom. the lawyer. "I shall put him
In the hands of his babe and she shall
render him harmless to destroy her
life. He shall die of his disgrace."
Mona Rees. one of the leaders of the
cult, was on the stand most of the day.
She gave her age as 21 years. Her
memory, like that of Mildred Bridges,
proved defective, the answer "I don't
remember being frequent In direct ex
amination. -
She said she knew of "absolute life"
before coming to this city through
reading See's Journal and throuffh let
ters from her mother.
Prosecutor Burnham was unable to
secure from her the admission that
there had ever been anything irregular
In her relations with See. although she
had been living In the same flat with
him. She denied that she ever made a
confession to Police Captain Danner.
