Judge Hough aays thst an overwhelming majority In number and amount of all the eredltora have agreed to a settlement and to the dismissal of the bankruptcy proceedings. He adds: "The court is therefore Justified In finding that practically all of the Rosenblatt eredltora except Mr. Phillips desire to take this matter out of thie court, The matter Is, therefore, to be considered from this standpoint, Mr.

I If thla court aat merely to administer abstract Justice between Phillips and the Rosenblatts, much might be said on this point, and the remarks made- would be material, though nothing that I have beard enablee me to express an opinion.

Hlnea. H. H. Kohlsaat of The Chicago Record-Herald had already told the committee his version of Mr. Funk's story of the fund, and the committee was Intensely Interested In getting Mr.

Funk's story at first hand. Heretofore it has rigidly excluded from the hearings witnesses who had not already testified, keeping them in a room set aside for the purpose. As Mr. Funk's testimony consisted for the most part of conversation he had in Chicago with. Mr.

Hlnee, however, the lumber man waa permitted to be present at to-day'a hearing.

Funk expected attack on his company from Mr. Lorimer's friends. He referred to possible attacks in newspapers and before Legislatures. uo you Know or any spot in wnicn your company was vulnerable? was asked. Quite frequently corporations are attacked where they are not vulnerable," he reDlled.

June the first time tn the course of Sugar. Trust Investigation a protest waaj made to-day against the right of the committee to Interrogate a witness in a manner that might Incriminate The protest came from Douglass Campbell, counsel for John D.

Sprockets, President of the Western Sugar Refining Company of California. Mr. Campbell has been present at hearings from the and had heard numerous other witnesses give very, much the same testimony that Mr. Spreckela was expected to give, and which he did give later. There was much speculation as to what motive the lawyer could have for making hla protest.

Chairman Hardwlck settled the matter quickly by holding that the committee was empowered to ask any questions It thought best, but a witness might refuse to answer if he thought that they would tend to Incriminate him. Mr. Spreckels was put through an examination even more searching than his predecessors survived, and yet Mr. Campbell did not at any time Interfere to suggest that the questions asked would put his client in any danger. Mr.

Spreckles told how his company In 1903 entered into an agreement with the California-Hawaiian Sugar Company closing down the latter's sugar factory and keeping it out of the cane sugar market for three years. It cost the Western Company $450,000 to da thla. I wanted to be sure."

Spreckela. I agreed to lease it with the proviso that we get all their sugar, about fifty thousand tons a year, and 1 paid the company a year for the plant They had been cutting prices and lost money until they wanted to get out." Was there an agreement that If necessary you could go In and use the factory? asked Representative Madison. Yes, If our factory was disabled we could use that- factory." He testified that the Hawaiian sugar planters get as much for their' sugar now as they did before Hawaiian sugar was put on the free list. They get the benefit of the old duty that used to be gaid' to the Government," as Mr. prexkels expressed It.

Mr. Spreckels agreed with other beet sugar witnesses that removal of the sugar tariff would- ruin the beet eugar Industry. "Take part of the tariff off." he said. and only the larger companies would survive. Even they eventually would be forced to the wall.

Mr. Spreckels admitted that price lists were sent out from his office to all sugar manufacturers in the West anywhere from four to twenty times a month. The witness said that he took the New Tork price to make his own, and admitted that the American, Arbuckle, and the Federal Sugar Companies alone made the New York price. He said half, of the $3,000,000 Spreckels Beet Sugar Company at Spreckels, the largest beet sugar factory In the world, is owned by the American 8ugar Refining Company and half by himself and hla orother.

They came to their senres. and. In short, came together, concluded that such a fight wss of no use.
