PARSONS CALLS TRUSTS SALVATION

"The Public Alone Suffers From Efforts to Prevent Combina

Regulation of Capital Is "Almost a Crime."

New York, July 21. Grim dec
laration that "the dear public" is the
only sufferer as the result of govern
ment attempts to prevent trusts was
made today to the Hardwick house
committee which is Investigating the
sugar industry by John E. Parson,
the New York lawyer, who claims to
have organdzed the industry on its
present basis.
l'ulilic Only Sufferer.
"The sooner the politicians real
ize that their efforts to prevent com-1
binations of capital from Increasing
the prices of all commodities," said
Parsons, ''and that 'the dear public'
Is the only sufferer by their attempts,
the better It will be for the country.
Capitalization of corporations on the
basis of actual physical valuation of
their properties is a joke. The fu
ture must be capitalized, aa must al
so opportunities. The government
must keep its hands off."
Defended Trust Methods. I
On cross-examination Parson
launched into a complete defense of
trust methods. He said, that "med
dling politicians" were the curse of
the country, and that the regulation
of capital was "almost a crime."
Parsons declared that the sugar
trust, as constituted in 1888, was the
first Simon pure monoply organized
in America.
Parsons testified that the sugar
trust had contributed $10,000 to the
Republican campaign fund In 1892,
as it desired the election of Benja
min Harrison, that year. He said he
believed a corporation had as much
right as any individual to protect
itself from unpleasant legislation, by
contributing to a campaign fundw
HebatiiiK Is All Right.
The trust lawyer said He believed
the 110,000 contribution was .paid to
the treasurer of the Republican na
tional committee, but he did not re
call the name. He asserted that un
til the law prohibiting corporation
contributions was passed the trust
was constantly importuned for mon
ey by both big parties, and that it
"gave up" when the platform of the
selected party was to its liking.
Parsons gave a long defense of re
bating, for which the trust was fined
$70,000, insisting that it had "earned
the rebates before the law prohibit
ing them passed." He declared the
fining of the trust was "most unjust."

UNITED H1ESS LEASED WIHE.l
Washington, July 21. Reports
from Port Au Prince, Haytl, that a
desperate situation confronts Amer
icans and other foreign residents
there, and that American guns may
be needed to save them from mur
der and pillage, were confirmed here
today by the state department.
Secretary Knox depends on the
United States warships to save the
Uvea of Americans, W, as it Is re
ported, he must do, President Simon
surrenders the1 capital to the victor
ious insurgents who are hotly press
ing to attack It from the north. The
Petrel, the department says, is al
ready at Haytl, and both the scout
cruiser Chester and the cruiser Des
Moines are racing to the imperiled
city. The Chester, which was dis
patched from Long Island Sound,
with orders to steam under forced
draft for Port Au Prince, will arrive
Saturday night or Sunday. The Des
Moines cannot arrive until next week, i
Officials of the state department I
declared today they knew nothing of j
the yacht America, upon which It was
said Americans had taken refuge at
Cape Haytien. The department re
ports are that anarchy prevails in
Haytl, and that President Simon,
who is seriously ill, may even be too
weak to flee from the country, and
plans to defend his capital with the
remnant of his army which has not
deserted to the revolutionists.
Should Simon decide to fight it out
the danger to American and foreign
residents, the department fears, will
be greatly Increased, and It is not
Impossible that, should the city be
stormed, they might be victims of a
general massacre.
