New York— A copy o f a telegram
sent by Henry O. Havemeyer to Sam
uel C. Hooker, his personal agent at
Denver, was introduced in the govern
ment’s dissolution suit against the so-
called sugar trust by Assistant Dis
trict Attorney Knapp, to support the
charge that Havemeyer had prepared
to crush by competition the independ
ent sugar plant o f the Greeley Sugar
company, then building.
The tele
gram read:
“ Go to Greeley and secure a good
site on options."
Chester S. Morey, o f Denver, chief
agent of Havemeyer in acquiring fcon-
tol o f Colorado companies, testified
that the site was procured, and not
long after this Havemeyer bought an
interest in the Greeley company. A
letter from Hooker to Havemeyer,
written November 22, 1902, was then
introduced. It suggested that Have
meyer rent the site for pasturage for
a year and said that 4 per cent net
returns could be realized if this was
done.
The history o f the companies was
traced up to the time when they were
merged in 1905 into the Great West
ern Sugar company o f New Jersey,
and to their dissolution into separate
corporations in April 1907.
“ Wasn't the elimination o f compe
tition in the purchase o f beets the
principal object o f this consolidation?’ ’
asked Mr. Knapp.
“ That was one o f the objects.”
Mr. Morey said there was never any
competition among the Colorado fac
tories.
“ Our competition comes
chiefly
from the manufacturers in Utah and
•California,” he added.

Protests Against Encroach

Washington, D. C.— Senator Borah,
o f Idaho, is not enough o f sentimenta
list to believe in converting the forest
reserves o f the West into preserves
for ranging elk, i f that practice is go
ing to interfere seriously with the
sheep industry. The Interior depart
ment laBt winter distributed several
elk from the Jackson’s Hole country
over various Western states, liberat

Commenting on this, Senator Borah,
in the senate, made the following
matter-of-fact statement:
“ The national foreBt service, at the
instigation o f the biological survey,
have withdrawn from sheep grazing in
the state o f Montana, in the Gallatin

of about 450 square miles. This with

“ Corner” on Knowledge.
San Francisco — To prevent the
“ commercializing” o f the life work of
Luther Burbank, the famous horticul
turist, a Luther Burbank society has
been organized and chartered by the
state o f California, with the definite
purpose o f seeing that the work of
the great scientist is given to 'posteri
ty without entail.
The society has no capital stock and
no power to incur debtB or to earn
profits. Its purpose is solely'to assist
Luther Burbank in the dissemination
o f his teachings, so that the greatest
number may profit in the greatest de
gree. It has an extensive member
ship, with names of nation-wide fame
on the roll.
Burbank is the honorary president,
and the name o f Mrs. Pheobe Hearst
immediately follows. The list, so [far
as it is prepared, concludes with Dr.
Nicholas Murray Butler, o f Columbia
University. The membership is lim
ited to 500 and by means o f the mod
erate membership fee the society will
make possible the production o f books
o f a quality which will do honor to
their author and the matter which
they contain.
The aim is to place the wizard’ s
knowledge in convenient book form at
nominal cost before every farmer,
gardener or horticulturist in
the
world.
The home o f the organization is sit
uated at Burbank’s grounds at Santa
Rosa and its activities w ill have his
