SAYS HE LOST NOTHING According to Mr. Snow's Statement He Went Into the Matter to Assist in Arrest of Confidence Men and With the Assurance That He Would Be Protected Against Publicity--Says Masterson's $10,000 Suit Is a Bluff and Criticises the Newspapers.

George A. Snow yesterday gave out A signed statement of his aide of his recent trouble with Bat Masterson and others in New York. Mr. Snow says he deplores the publicity of the matter, but desires that his story be given out HO that it will come to the attention of friends in the West whom he cannot see personally, The "manager of one of the Salt Lake papers" referred to by Mr. Snow was not the manager of The Tribune, which has at all times Mr.

been Snow ready to might publish make any bearing 011 statement the matter. Mr. Snow's statement follows: To the that the Salt Lake press seema to be about through with 114 guessing. tirade of abuse, ridicule and misrepresentation respecting me and my recent expertence in New York, think ft but Just to myself, family and friends, that make this statement. First.

and singular 419 it may seem. prior to my arrival in Salt Lake had not been approached by a single repreSentative of the Salt Lake press and asked for my vide of the story. Rather has it seemed to be content to publish one side. and that the gibberish of that notorious and loud-mouthed Bat Masterson, whom never saw in my life until he was piled into a cab and on his way to jail. The facts are these: I went to New York on business and pleasure and stopped at the Waldorf.

A very smooth confidence man by the name of Leopoid Frank called on me and claimed to have been last Introduced to me at Hot Springs, March. He also professed an acquaintance with a number of my Utah friends, He finally submitted a proposition. which, according to his tions, would make me considerable money, but was not then asked to put up a dollar. Later I was introduced to man who appeared at the Waldorf in full evening dress, and who represented himself as being engaged in the cattle bualness in Mississippi, and this fellow WAS to put up $20,000. was convinced that the deal was not straight, and that if this supposed cattleman put up his money he would lose it the following day, and hinted this to him, but he claimed an acquaintance of several years' standing with this man Frank.

and considered him straightforward. I had no thought of engaging in the undertaking, but believing 88 did that this cattleman would cer. tainly lose his money, 1. brought the matter to the attention of the assistant ager of the Waldorf, who suggested conference with the chief detective of the hotel, and he, without iny knowledge, took the matter up with Capt. Titus, the chief of the city detective service, who at once detailed two of his cleverest men on the case, was asked, as a special favor, to ald in landing these crooks, and was informed that they had fleeced one prominent man out of $71.000 and another out of $40,000, and 110 telling how many others, who had failed to report.

ever, under promise of protection against any publicity, or of my appearance in court either as a complainant or a witness, 1 consented to aid the detectives by carrying on negotiations. The following day this alleged cattleman claimed he had lost about $11,000 on the races, and 89 the deal could not be carried through unless $20,000 was raised, it was "up to me" to put up this amount, or forego my share of the profits, RO agreed to put it 1D. Meantime I was reporting to the detectives and working under their directions, while they in turn were shadowing the crooks. The plan carried, and when reported to be was supposed to have $11,000 with me, when in fact had but eleven $1 bills. 'At the appointed moment the house (n private residence) was raided and the crooks, together with their crooked paraphernalia, were taken Into custody, The detectives claimed that Masterson and a fellow giving the name of Saunders were playing the part of "outer and had been shadowing me for several days, presumably for the purpose of Matisfying themselevs, as to whether I was to the hence they were arrested before the house was raided.

wish. it clearly understood that no arrests were made at my request, neither was a complainant or witness in court, as the records will show. Just as Masterson was starting for Jail he called me by name from the cab and sald he wanted to speak to me, and at the officer's request I stepped over to hear what he had to say. He stated he was a cousin of a Salt Lake friend of mine who was then in New York, and asked me, as a favor to him. to tell this friend that he was in trouble, which I did.

Naturally enough, these crooks were sore because 1 tipped the deal off. and as they started for jail threatened me with couple of columns in the papers, The reporters who were hovering round the Jail were refused any information beyond that shown by the court records, but when Masterson was released ball the reporters grabbed his story of Injured innocence a8 a sweet morsel, and rushed into print in big headlines, then called on me the following day for my statement, but I courteously deelined to he interviewed. Masterson's bluff suit of $10,000 amounts to nothing. and I doubt if it ever comes up for trial. With my answer filed affidavits of the two officers who made the arrest, netting forth the fact that 1 was in no way responsible for it, and that I knew nothing of it for more than an hour after It curred.

I conducted myself. as aim to do always, in a gentlemanly manner, and did nothing to bring discredit upon anyone. 1 never lost dollar In New York city, neither was I a more "conspicuous figure around the corridors of the than other guests. have never seen the inside of the Waldorf wineroom, while the statement made by one of the Salt Lake papers that I was "discussing sporting matters and deplored the fact that gambling houses were not running wide open In New York as they were in the la painfully ridiculous and untrue, confess that I made a serious mistake in attempting to do an unappreclative public a favor by exposing this crowd of crooks, while 1 at not a little surprised that my home papers should be 80 keen to take advantage of my abHence, and the opportunity to outrage and ridicule me and embarrass my family. have made and lost money in various ventures, and have even been "skinned," but I have usually been counted as a cheerful loser, at least I was never before accused of being never asked nor expected any favora at the hands of the Eastern press, but I did wire the manager of one of the Salt Lake papers, and anked that his New York correspondent call to see me nt once for statement of facts, but this courtesy wan dented me.

With the above statement I shall leave you to draw your own conclusions as to how far I have been fairly treated and correctly reported. In justice to Capt. Titus and other in New York, I wish to say that they treated me with the utmost fairness and consideration, and did all in their power to prevent any publicity of my connection with the case. Mr. Jerome, the prosecuting attorney, sent for me several times and urged me to join the detectives who made the arrest, and go before the grand Jury and have the whole crowd indieted.

but in view of the unfair treatment corded me by the press I declined to take such action. Respectfully, GEORGE SNOW. A. HENRY WRITES A BOOK. Former Pastor Methodist Church of Salt Lake an Author.

INCREASE OF 40 PER CENT Notwithstanding the Prevailing Low Price of Refined Sugar and the Transfer of Control to the Trust Interests, Utah Beet Sugar Factorles Are Preparing for the Biggest Output in Their History Utah Sugar Company Has 9000 Acres, Which Will Produce 100,000 Tons. Week ending July 19, July 26. Bank clearings $3,590,675 Realty 60,611 36,165 Building 664.600 21,800 Forty-five million pounds of sugar will manufactured by the six factories be, Utah this year, nccording to the estimate of T.

R. Cutler, manager of the Utah Sugar company, who has been investigating the prospects for the best crop and thoroughly convereant with the situation. Last year 32.000.000 pounds was the total output of the State, NO fant an increase of fully 40 per cent is anticipated. The increase will be pretty evenly divided between the two factories controlled by the Amalgamated Sugar company and the four plants of the Utah Sugar company. In four counties of titah sugar beets are being raised on 9000 acres of ground for the Utah Sugar company alone.

The acreage is distributed as follows: Acres, Bear River 1.250 Salt Lake .000 Utah county San Pete .1,000 In Utah county about 1500 acres are being raised about Lehi. an equal amount about Springville, and the remainder at Provo, Payson, Spanish Fork, Goshen, Nephi and other points. In Sanpete county it in estimated that the frost and the grasshoppers have destroyed about one-third of the beets, but in all other localities the beets are doing well and there is every promise of a large harvest. From these 9000 acres the sugar company expecta to gather from 90,000 to 100.000 tons of beets. This tonnage, the sugar people calculate, will produce about 22.000,000 pounds of refined sugar.

Assuming that the Ogden and Logan factories together produce an equal amount, the immensity of the product can easily be computed, It would be sufficient to fill 750 freight cars of ordinary capacity, or nearly forty trains. of the 100.000 tons of beets to be cut up by the Utah Sugar company about 90 per cent is being raised by farmers who will receive $4.75 a ton for beets polarizing 14 per cent. The transfer of the product from the grower to the manufacturer will thus be the means of distributing about $427,500 cash among the agricultural interests of the State. Double this amount for the northern factories and it reaches close to the million mark. may not be generally known that' Utah ranks fourth among the sugar-producing States of the country, California, Michigan and Colorado outranking her in order named.

"Despite the fact that prices of refined sugar are lower than they have been for a long time, beet-sugar manufacturers are not at all discouraged at the outlook, expecting to make up in economical methods of production the difterence in the selling prices. New processes are being introduced constantly to enable the manufacturer to save a larger percentage of the saccharine matter in the beets. The Osmose process, for example, which the Utah sugar factory adopted last year, was the means of saving hundreds of thousands of pounds of sugar whien by the old methods would have been wasted. see no chance for immediate recovery of prices in the face of the enormous sugar output of the world." said Mr. Cutler yesterday.

"Last year the beet factories of the United States produced 300.000,000 pounds of sugar, and this year the total will be fully 450.000,- 000. Of course this is nothing compared with the amount consumed every year by the American people. It will be many years before the production keeps pace with home consumption. But with the regeneration of the sugar industry in Cuba and the constant Increase in production by European factories, there is small hope that the price will be lowered, except, perhaps, occasionally, from spasmodic causes. We must turn our attention to producing more cheaply, and perphaps be content with smaller profits." Nothing Doing.
