Newspaper Page Textt THE MORVISO SEWS. i - Established 1850. Incorporated 1888. - I J. H. ESTILL, President, J frenxhy her murderer the POLICE TEEOay EASED on GCOD REASONS. jjs Slept Acroea the Hall Prom the Murdered Woman's Room and Had Formerly Been Her Lover—His Seeks end Finger Nails Dyed With Blood. New York, April 30. —Inspector Byrnes has at last fastened the crime for the mur der of the woman Carrie Brown. The mur derer is “FreDchy No. 1,” who was arrested Friday night, less than twenty-four hours after committing the crime, and who has been under lock and key ever since. On the night the murder was committed "Frenchy No. 1” occupied room No. 33 in the Fourth Ward hotel with a woman by the came of Mary Ann Lopez. This room was across the hall from that occupied by the woman Brown and her unknown compan ion. STOLE ACROSS TO MURDER HER. From information in the possession of the police, it BDpears that the murdered woman’s companion left her some time be fore 1 o’clock Friday morning. “Frenchy No. 1” had been at one time a lover of the woman, bnt for some reasou had become insanely jealous of her. He heard her com panion leave the room, aud shortly after ward he got up and leaving his roommate, Mary Ann Lopez, asleep, crossed the hall and deliberately strangled and then disem boweled his victim. This is the story of the police. BASIS OF THE THEORY. It is su' stantiuted by the following facts: Ti'hen “ Frenchy No. X” had completed his murderous work he recrossod the hall and entered room No. 38. In that room he left evidences of bis guilt. When the police male their investigation traces of blood were to be found on every side. The only chair the room contained was covered with Mood smeared over it from the clothes which tbs murderer wore, he having sat down u|on it when he entered the room. Tha bed clothes were found to be covered with blood, the murderer some time during the night having thrown himself upon the bed. HIS STOCKINGS SOAKED WITH BLOOD. His stockings, he having removed his shoes to do his bloody work, were soaked with blood, and his clothing was also cov ered w ith blood. On the wails and ceiling of the littlo room many small spots of blood were found, the man having evident ly entered the room with his hands reeking with blood, and in his desire to remove it be bad shaken and snapped his hands and lingers, thus liberally distributing it around the room. BLOOD UNDER HIB NAILS. When the fellow was arrested, Inspector Byrues examined his hands and linger nails. The latter he carefully scraped and found plain and distinct traces of human blood. To positively establish the fact the scrapings and dirt found under his nails were submitted to chemical analysis. From the time the man was arrested but little could be learned from him. He has made a few statements, but all have been to very contradictory that the police have been able to make but little use of them. A LYNCHING IN TENNESSEE Tue Wounding of a Policeman Exas perates the Whitae. Fp. anklin.Tenn., April 30.—The city wai crowded with negroes yesterday, the occa sion being the performance of a 10-cent circus. One of the negroes, Jim Taylor, became very troublesome and shot Policeman Charles Cook, who was trying to arrest him. He wa> afterward lodged in jail. About 10 o’clock last night a well organized mob of men attacked the jail, overpowered the sheriff, took the keys trom him and quietly carried the negro down a side street to a covered bridge and hanged him up to a cross beam. All was done in an orderly manner uuder recognized leaders. RIDDLED WITH BULLETS. His body was then riddled with bullets and left hanging. The mob then quietly dispersed. Most of them were on horse back, aud no one knows who they were. It has since been learned that in the fight the negro also shot one of the circus men. The negro’s attack on Policeman CookJU vat peculiarly atrocious as he had him down, face downward, and then caught hold of his shoulder and shot him in the bick of the neck. It was a miracle that the ball happened to miss a vital part. The uegr . was found, when caught, to have tno pistols and a large dirk on his person. A PRESENT FOR QOHMAN.

Ed mund Varney, member of parliament for North Buckinghamshire, charged with in st'gating the procuration of a governess, Miss Nellie Beckstt. for immoral purposes, adjourned from Friday last, was contiuued. The court r, om was crowded with people of all classes who were desirous of hearing the sensational testimony which it was expected would be the feature of to-day’s hearing. Many letters signed “Wilson,” the name which Capt. Verney is charged with assum ing, were identified as being in Capt. Ver ney’s handwriting. A CLUB PORTER’S TESTIMONY.

Manipur, April 30.—The maharajah and the Manipur chiefs, who support him, are still fugitives in the jungle. A mounted detachment of troops has been dispatched in pursuit of the rebel chieftains. Shortly after the British trooos entered Manipur tne bodies of Chief Conmissiouer Quinton, Political Agent Grimwood and those of the other members of the commissioner’s staff who were killed during the massacre which followed the fatal durbar, were ex humed, and now lie in state pend ing an imposing military funeral service, which will take place on Monday next, in honor of the dead officials A com mi-sion composed of army officers has been formed, with the object of inquiring into the cause which led to the rebellion aud into the massacre of the British officers. There is a great scarcity of provisions in and about Manipur, the inhabitants having fled with the maharajah and the chieftains to the jungles and hills, fearing the vengeance of the British soldiers. However, many of the Manipuris are reassured by the fact that those who remained here have not been shot, as it was expected that they would be, aud consequently they are leaving their hiding places and returning here.

By Request No Demonstration Wae Made on His Arrival—The Party Se cures a Good Night’s Rest The Party Escorted to Monterey Yester day and Given a Warm Welcome. Delmonte, Cal., April 30.— President Harrison and party arrived at Delmonte last night. By request of the President his ar rival here was devoid of ceremony in order that Mrs. Harrison and the other ladies of the party, who were fatigued by tbe day’s traveling might bo allowed time for rest and preparation for to-day’s programme. The Hotel Delmonte, where the party spent tha time, is beautifully decorated with flowers and bunting. The rooms assigned to the President and the ladies of his household were objects of special attention. The President was informed th it the Chinese emperor had notified his minister at Wash ington of bis unwillingness to receive ex- Senator Blair, the newly appointed American minister. President Harrison said it was news to him, but made no other comment. A SPLENDID RECEPTION. The citizens of Monterey gave the Presi dent a splendid reception to day. The city was elaborately decorated with flowers and bunting, the main thoroughfare, Avalarado street, resembling a tropical gar den. It was lined on both sides with fine specimens of the oele brnted Monterey cypress. The President and the members of his party bavlug en joyed a full ulght’s rest at the Hotel Del monte arose early aud drove over the famous sixteen miles drive of which Californians nre so justly proud. A large delegation of people from Monterey, Balinas City and Pacifio Grove assembled at Delmonte and escorted the President to Mouterey, the board of city trustees of Monterey having first visited the chief magistrate at the hotel and given him the freedom of their city. On its arrival at Monterey the pruoosslon was met by a large delegation of school children, who strewed their pothway with flowers aud lod the way to the school house, where the public ex ercises were held. A SILVER SOUVENIR. Mayor Hill of Salinas delivered the ad dress of welcome, aud on behalf of the three cities presented the President with a solid silver card containing an engraving of the old custom house iusoribel as follows: “Old custom house, where the first American tiag was raised in 1848; greeting to our Presi dent, April 30, 1391.” The Preideit, Post master General Wanamaker and Secretary Rusk made addresses aud were loudly ap plauded. The presidential party then drove to Cypress Point, overlooking the ocean, where they had luncheon. Tuoy spent the day in the neighborhood. KNUTjFORD’S BILL. Baron do Worms Makes a Statement in Regard to It. London, April 30.—Sir James Ferguson, political secretary of the foreign office, stated in the House of Commons to-day that in the future no treaty of commerce precluding preferential arrangements be tween England and the colonies regarding their respective products would be renewed. Baron Henry de Worms, political secre tary of the colonial office, answeriug a question in regard to the propositions of the Newfoundland delegates, said that the gov - ernment had not received communica tions from the delegates expressing a willingness to introduce into the New foundland legislature a domestio coercive measure calculated to avoid the neces ity of the passage of the Kuutsford bill, and tiint tbe government had no information as to the French authoritiers having offered any bounty for bait or to otherwise induce Newfoundland fishermen to break the bait regulations. As to whether the purchase in St. Pierre, Miquelon, of bait illegally brought there would or would not con stitute a breach of the declaration of 1783, was a matter of opinion. EHIN’S LAND BILL. The government leader, William Henry Smith, then moved that precedence be given to the Irish land purchase bill over the orders of the day. Mr. Smith added, how ever, that the government proposed to except from this motion Wednesday, May 0, so as to enable tbe house on that day to debate the women’s suffrage bill, os the government, he said, was pledged to give a day for the discussion of that measure. Sir Henry James (a liberal, but opposed to Mr. Gladstone’s home rule scheme), op posed any exception to Mr. Smith’s motion, and moved as an amendment that the Dish land purchase bill be taken up every day until it passed thro igh the oommitteostago. Sir Honrv James’ amendment was event ually carried by a vote of 218 to 159, amid loud opposition cheers. Tbe majority in cluded a number of conservatives who are opposed to women’s suffrage. The government has detailed H. M. S. Pelican to preserve order at St. Johns, N. F., and to assist in a blockade if necessary. It is stated that the government will con sent to postpone the committee stage of tbe Knutsford bill. TROUBLE FEARED. St. John’s, N. F., April 30.—Fifty bait carriers which e-caped the government cruisers are returning and the men have been iucited to rebellion by tbe French fish merchansof SL Pierre, who have supplied them with arms and liquor. Very serious trouble is expected to follow this intrigue and aggression on the part of the French. A Cabinet Crisis Imminent London, May 1,3 a. m.— A cabinet crisis is imminent in Vienna. The Germans and conservatives are divided on the school question. Neither party has a majority, and no reply to the speech from the throne can be voted. FOKEBISIN A BLAZE. The V’.llnge of Conoverton, N. J., Wiped Out by tbo Flames. Washington, April 30.—Heavy forest fires are reported to-day from a dozen dif ferent places in Eastern Pennsylvania aud New Jersey. The most serio is are in Southern New Jersey, along the Hue of tbe Camden and Atlantic railroad. The town of Absec >m narrowly escaped destruction. The village of Conoverton, Atlantic county, was destroyed. A special from Bellefonte, Pa., says: “Koret fires continue to rage in this vicin ity, with most destructive fury. Millions of feet of valuable timber have already been destroyed, and it is reported that every sawmill on the mountains between Bellefonte and Lowisburg has been burned.” An Influx of Immigrants. New York, April 3J. —lncluding 2,300 immigrants landed at tbe barge office to day, thsra have been 83,449 immigrants landed during April at this port, tbe high est nurab’r for April since 1882. Tne num ber lauded last April was 49,000. SAVANNAH, GA„ FRIDAY, MAY 1, 1891. RECIPROCITY WITH SPAIN. Gen. Foater F reaenta the Draft, of the Agreement to Blaine. Washington, April 80.— Gen. Foster placed in Secretary Blaine s bands to-day the commercial arrangement concluded by him with Spain under the reciprocity sec tion of the MoKinley act. Neither Secretary Blaine nor Gen. Koeter would say a word about it to-day, nor will they say anything on the subject until the agreement is formally published by the President, which will not be until bis re turn week after next, but it, is understood that uuder the agreement Spaiu concedes in return for the admission by the McKinley act of sugar, molasses, coffee, tea aud hides from the Antilie. free of duty, the admission from the United States of a long iiat of agricultural products free of duty, and the admission at reduced rates of manufactured products, notably flour, lard, machinery and petroleum. In some cases the roductiou is Mid to leave only a nominal duty, as in the case of the Brazil ian agreement. BLAINE CONGRATULATES HIM3EF. Secretary Blaine congratulates himself on having gotten these couce.-sious so long be fore Jan. 1, 1892, when under the McKinley act he could have had the President’s power bshind bim. The more reciprocity agree ments Secretary Blaine can make bofore Jan. 1 next the more dttficule it will bo for President Harrison to app.oprlato Secre tary Blaine’s reciprocity thunder, but so delicate are the relations between them that Secretary Blaine dare not even admit to-dav the fact that this Spanish agreement had been concluded lest President Harrison should have some suspicion of his loyalty. President Harrison insists that whatever public an nouncements are to bo made about these reciprocity agreements shall be made by him, and not by his Secretary of State. BLAINE’S CANDIDACY. A Rumor That He Promised Harrison Not to be ln the Race. Washington, April 30. —Secretary Blaine Is icpresented by his friends as being very indignant at a double-leaded editorial in Russell Harrison’s weekly declaring him out of the race in 1562. He resents its terms "loyalty,” “fealty,” “suspicious,”and soon, uml more than all resents its patronizing tone. It may defer the announcement ho ha; been expected to’make, that he is uot a candidate, to quiet his fool Mends. Presi dent Harrison’s friends think the oditoriul very unwise. They think that Secretary Blaine’s friends, by keeping up the agitation over his name, would have soon forced him to declare himself, and that inasmuch as ho does not waut to leave the cabinet at this time he would have been obliged to say that he would not be a candidate, but the editorial, they think, has made the Blaine men all over tbe country so angry that it will be difficult for Secretary Blaino to make the announcement they hope ho will moke. They are beginning to talk now of an understanding which Preiident Harrison is said, with great forethought, to have readied with Secretary Biaine before offer ing him the state portfolio, that Secretary Blaine should not be a candidate in 1892, nnd are *ayhig that the President, when he gets back, will have to have a plain talk with Secretary Blaine, and force a declara tion from him. They are counting upon Secretary Blaine’s desire to stay in the cabi net to constrain him to declare that he will not be a candidate in 1892. N0 3L3 AGAIN A9T3R BAUM. The Fecrotary to Make Another Ap peal to the President. Washington, April 30.—Secretary Noble will, it is said, bring the case of Commis sioner Raum to the President’s attention again on his return. The secretary is said to be dissatisfied with the way tbo c mmissioner conducts himself officially and unofficially. lie does not think that Commissioner Raum answered the charges against him satisfactorily. lie thinks, too, that the commissioner being a subordinate for whose actions he is respon sible, ought to have consulted him before making auy answer to the charges. Gener ally he charges Commissioner Raum with uot treatiug him with proper deference aud consideration. Secretary Noble has been unfortunate in his commis sioners. The pension commissioner had to go. His successor has been constantly in hot water. Lord Commissioner Groff had to resign, and Indian Commissioner Mor gen is on the most distant terms with his chief. Commissioner of Patents Mitchell is the only important commissioner who has been ou cordial terms with him. FOREIGN LOTTERY ADS. Premium Government and Municipal Bonds Not Disturbed. Washington, April 30. —Some time ago the postal authorities caused the Petit Journal aud oiber French journals to be excluded from the United is tat es on the grouud that they contained lottery adver tisements. Minister Roustau called the matter to the attention of the department of state, and, after hearing his representa tions, (Secretary Blaine took the necessary steps and to-day advised the French minister as follows: “The Post master General has given instructions to the postmasters at all seaport cities to de liver all foreign newspapers, Including French, of course, that do not ooutam ad vertisements of auy regularly organized and well-known lottery schemes. News papers containing advertisements of pre mium government nnd municipal bonds are not disturbed.” The reservation above noted will, it is believed, meet the case of the complaining newspapers. GOVERNMENT FINANCES. No Change to be Made in the Form of tbe Debt Statement. Washington, April 30.—There will be no change made by the treasury depart ment at present in the form in which the public debt statement is issued, nor of the statement showing tbe assets and liabilities of the government. Secretary Foster taid this afternoon that the whole financial ques tion will De held in abeyance until President Harrsson’s return to tbe city. It is expected that the public debt state ment to be issued to-morrow will show a decrease in t e public debt oi somewhat over 4)1,000,000. This small decrease is said at the department to bo due in part to the largo payments that have been made on account of tbe direct tax fund, tobacco tax rebute and other matters. A MAN COCKED TO DEATH. The Boiler of a Mogul Engine Blows Out at Both Ends. Dayton, 0., April 30.—The boiler of a Brooks mogul freight engine on the Dayton and Michigan railroad blew out at both ends to-day while running twelve miles an hour, carrying a full head of steam. The fireman was in the act of shoveling coal and he was literally cocked to death. Tbe engineer and front brakeman were terribly scalded aud inav die. EUROPE’S MAYDAY SCARE A BELIEF THAT NO BHR.OUS OUT BRBAKS WILL O-OUR. The Local Forces Everywhere Strongly Armed in Readiness for Riot ng- The Wldespaead Observance of the Diy a Noticeable Feature— Watch i & the Anarchists at Paris. London, April 30.—Collating and com paring a host of telegrams from every populous couter iu Western Europe, the almost unvarying tenor is that Mayday will pass without serious disorder. Every where the local powers have been armed so strongly as to convince the worst disposed that a pacifio demonstration is advisable. But it would be wrong to infer that tbe labor manifestations will be less memorable because orderly. New and immense importance invests to-morrow's doings as having for the first time a strong anil distinct interna tional character. Throughout civilized Europe the proletariate mobilizes aid acts In touch with the American movement. This world-wide unison is partly spontane ous aud partly organized, and imparts sig nificance and gravity to to-morrow’s demonstrations. lasi Mayday was entirely without concerted action. AN EFFECT OF THE CONGRESS. The last international workmen’s con gress in I’aris, though a failure iu some respects, is now seen to have contributed in n sense a solidarity among the workmen, which was before only faintly recognized. This new consciousness of kindred interests hiiß iienetratod iuto remote districts. Plaoes inert last Mayday have now been quickened into taking part in t '-morrow’s demonstrations. Even vil lages in secluded parts of France, Spain, Italy and Germany where some local industry exists will have a holiday. This universality of the inspiration extends be yond tbe question of eight hours for a day’s work. The manifestoes of the socialist leaders in every country, while giving prominence to the eight hour cry, proclaim battle for other points of the socialist ohartor, iu plainer language than ever tud before. FRIGHTENS THE PUBLIC. This fervor of revolutionary language frightens the public, keeps every govern ment alert and has caused extraordinary preparations to be made ou a scale equal to what would be required if Europe was about to be transformed iuto a field of bat tle. In Paris, as processions are forbidden, tho socialists will hold four mass meetings. Petitions In favor of a work day of eight hours will be presented to the authorities by delegates from the provincial socialist committees. Jules Guesdo, leader of the Marxist coalition and of tbe Houissist section, desires to wait upon M. Floquet to present a memo rial from the federated socialists wherein a demand for eight hours will bo made the pivot for abuse of employers anil capitalists generally. M. Floquet has not yet consented to see them, though the influ ence of this section among the working classes in Paris is powerful enough to return ten members of the mnuicipal council. TO GOTO PARLIAMENT. The Blnnqinsta and Allemauisls will send doputa tons to the Chamber of Deputies, whore they will be received by tbe socialist deputies. Each faction has an organizing committee declaring unity of purpose with tha othor faction, yet in spite of manifestoes in favor of oombiued action their only meet ing was the occasion of a violent quarrel. Tho government Ims no fear of public dis turbance from these sections. WATCHING THE ANARCHISTS. A keen watch, however, is kept upon the anarchists, anew group of whom, tho "Joune->Be anti-patriots," has issue,l placards invoking tho soldiers to assist in a revolt of the prole'ariate. Another anarohist mani festo proclaims that tho timo has come for the holots of society to arise, seize dynamite bombs, destroy thoir oppressors, burn tho prefectures, banks, palaces, prisons, pawnshops, etc. Tho anarchist organ, the I’ere Poinard, bluntly states to-morrow’s plans: “The an archists will wait tor a chance row in the streets, and if one occurs they will join and will fight to kill or die." TO DEPEND on cavalry. M. Constans, minister of the interior, communicated to the ministerial council at the palaco Elysee to-day a report on tho measures that have been taken to assure or der. The troops have been reinforced,but tho government will rely chiefly upon cavalry in the event of an emute. Owing to the revolutionary groups noting separately the troops have been distributed throughout the city and tho main streets have been sanded to enable the cavalry to operate promptly. Public traffla will be kept open unless a row occurs. Omnibus and tram companies had intended not to run their vehicles, hut since receiving as surances from the prefecture of police they havo decided to o mtinue thoir usual service. all of one mind. Telegrams from Rouen, Havre, Roubaix, Amiens, Lyons and Bordeaux announce that hll tho workmen will suspend work to-morrow. The programme is the same everywhere. Tho delegates will go to the prefectures and hand their petitions to the authorities. Banquets and balls will be held in tho eveuing. The garrisons will be kept under arms. Troops have been sent to the industrial centers where there are no garrisons. The Mar seilles prefect to-day received delegates who asked permission to hold a procession. The prefect refused permission, whereupon the men declared that they would persist in their intention to parade and would face a collision wiih the troops. NO DISQUIET IN GERMANY. Throughout Germany the proposed May day parade manifestations create no dis quiet. The day ha 9 become a family festival for Berliners, who make peaceful excursions to tbe suburbs and la the evening bold re unions, which are usually addressed by Liebknecbt and Bebel. The troops have been consigned to tbeir barracks as usual, but the police are directed to show toleration end avoid interfering, in Ham burg broad latitude is given to the work men, who go off on excursions with bands playing and banners flying, tbo authoriten according them tbe earns liberty as on days of national fetes. ♦'.LANS OF THE AUSTRIANS, In Vienna the workmen’s enmmittoe pro poses 1 1 march 100,000 men in lid ,ted de ta -hmeTits to tho Prater, wnere they will group around various speaker" and will pass tho usual resolutions. If disorder arises they will Immediately disperse. The government opposes the demonstration, yet they will not interfere if quiet is kept. ROME NOT UNEASY. In Rome no uneasiness is manifested, as minor importance is attached to the May day demonstrations. In Naples, however, a semi-panic prevails, owing to anarchist threats to blow up the pubiio buildings with dynamite. Numerous arrests have been made there. The socialist menaces in Milan, Pavia and Turin have forced tbe govern ment to adopt the severest measures of re pression. Processions and meetings are for bidden. In Brussels tho burgomaster has forbid den evening meetings. Tint whole civic guard and all of the gen d’armes will be on duty throughout the day. The workmen propose to send delegates to the chambers to demand universal suffrage and a work day of eight hours. In Madrid a M ajority of the workmen will suspend work, but their proceedings during ihe day will be festive, and no at tempt will be made to hold a demonstration. The workmen in the Bilbao mines have struck, and the directors have decided on a general lockout unless the men return to work on Monday. The stores of powder and dynamite are guarded by Iroojis. The government has ordored the com manding generals to proclaim a state of siege on the ilrst sign of disorder. The troops cooupy the stategetic points protect ing tho mines and the government build ings throughout the proviuce of Bilbao. In Oporto the workmen will hold a fete. In Lisbon tho socialists will march to the cemetery to hold a demonstration at tho tombjof the Socialist Fontana. Sun lav has boon selected for a labor demonstration in tlenevn and Tho Hague. The same (lay has been selected In London, Liverpool and Manohe>ter. It is expected that 120,000 persons will take part in the demonstration in Hyde park, London. OUVOT WON’T RECEIVE THKU. Paris, April 30. —M. Praedes, secretary of the workmen's federated union, had an interview to-day with M. Guyot, minister of public works, and gave notice of the in tention of the lebor deputation to demand an audience of him to-morrow. M. Guyot replied that ho would decline to receive tho deputation. Telegrams from the mining districts report much agitation among the miners, and there are many threats of a general striko to-morrow. A REGULAR ARMY ON PUTT. Twenty-five thousand infantrv, eight regiments of cavalry and 7.000 policeme > will be posted to-morrow in the viciuity of thecbiof public buildings.

France Represented as In Favor of Upholding It. Paris. April 30. —In the sonata to-day M. Ribot, minister of foreigu affairs, replying to an interpolation of Senator Isaac in regard to Hayti, and particularly In regard to the significance of the dispatch of the United States squadron to Port au Prince, said that there could be no mistake in regard to the policy of France toward Hayti, adding: “We firmly desire to respect the independence of tbejrepublic and to cause it to be respected by others. We have come to an entente with the United fcitutes in regard to tho Mole St. Nicholas. The excitement is subsiding, and the Washing ton cabinet has withdrawn the United States squadron from Portau Prince.’’ M. Rl hot’s remarks were greeted with ap plause, after which tho matter was dropped. NO NEGOTIATIONS. Washington, April 30.— There is good authority for the statement that the gov ernment; of the United States had not had any negotiations whatever with tne govern ment of France res ecting Hayti and the acquisition of Mole St. Nicholas, as was indicated in the debate iu tho French Cham ber of Deputies to-day. The squadron of evolution wns not sent to Portau Prince with any intention r.f creating a naval demonstration. An effort was made by the representatives of the government to secure the use of Mole St. Nicholas by lease or otherwise, but tbe-e efforts, it is learned, resulted unsuccessfully.

Annual Dividends De olarod at All Times on the Inflated Capital Stock— The C ange of the HeaTquarters to New Jersey to Lodge the Law. Albany, N. Y., April 30.—The Senate committee on general laws submitted to the Senate this morning a report of 5,000 werds on the sugar trust investigation. After reviewing the testimony takeu the report says: It appears uncontrariictad that tho trust de clared 10 per eeat. auaual dividends at all times during its existence, not only upon the original capital of nli the constituent corpora tions, amounting to le-a than $7,000,000, but also upon the fabulous valuation placed upon the stock of such constituent corporations, amounting to about $50,000,000. Avery Import ant part of tile investigation related to the declara tion of these dividends by the trust snd the pro fits made by tile constituent corporations, out of which such dividends could is* legitimately paid. No satis:actory infarruation could be ob tained or elicited from the officers or employes of the constituent corp -rations respecting the amount of profits such corporations had made. couldn’t get the books. The report says that the books of the cor porations oomposiug the trust were re moved to Jersey City previous to the com mencement of the investigation, and quite likely in anticipation of it. Without the books the information respecting the trust and its inside workings was wholly i.isuffl oieut to enable the oommittee to determine the real purpose of the trust, and also whether their $11,000,0<X), paid in two and ono-half years lit dividends upon an Inflated capital of noarly $50,000,000, was legitimately and honestly earned or not. In the judgment of the committee the stub born and persistent refusal to produce the said books of account was wholly unwar ranted and unjustifiable, and the committee admit that they labored under great, disad vantage in finding that the trust had carried out of the state the books which it sought to examine. WHY THEY WKNT TO NEW JERSEY. There is cause to bel.eve that the |ie sons who organized the new sugar trust atm incor porated tlie same under the laws of the state of New Jersey dil so to escape the rigors of tho Now York laws in several particulars 1. To escape taxation under the laws of tbis state. 2. Under the laws of New Jersey the com pany could iksii- common and preferred stock, which could nut be done In New York. 3 Under the law* of New Jersey the new company could hold and own stuck of other companies, domestic or foreign, without re striction. * escaped taxation. And the committee finds from testimony of Mr. llavemeyui' that the American Hugar Refin ing Company paid a tax of about SII,OOO, while. If organized miller tlie law* of New York, the tax would have been about $(12,500 The Cotton Heed Oil Company waa Incorporated under the law* of New Jersey and pa and a tax of about $9,00d, while in New York state It would have boon about $1(),0iX), and, according to tlie testimony of Tax Commission Coleman of New York, many millions of capital are going out of New York iuto Now Jersey each year to form corporations, which, In the natural order of things, should have formed the capital of similar corporations here. This, in the Judg ment of the committee, becomes a serious mat ter to the people In this state. A BOLD EVASION. In the case of the sugar trust, wo find the sugar refineries company or trust In this slut* declared to be unlawlul by the highest court of tlie statu Then we witness the bold spectacle of the ssme combination practically aoing into an adjoining slate and there organizing a near company under anew name. Cut practically for the same purpose and returning to New York and through a trust company organ ized under the iawsor Now Jersey, exchange Us new cer ideates of stock for stock certificated of tlie old company, and then the new company establishes itself iu the same offices In New York and goes on with its same business as practically the same combination. THE RKCOMMENDATIONH. A* the result of tho committee’s investiga tion ft reemnmend*: 1 That legislation be had restraining tho formation of trusts as hostile to the interests of the people as they are now formed, or provid ing for their formation under the supervision of some existing department of the state govern ment, or some board to be created by law, and to that end your committee will prepare a bill. 2. That legislation be had providing that for eign corporations doing business In tills stata should pay into the treasury of tbis state when they commence business therein the same tax as is i aid by such corporation upon incorporat ing In any other stab-, or that such corporations be required to pay a tax upon their business done in this state. 3, That all so-called trusts or corporations doing business in this state, and which are organized out of the state, and hold or own stock of other Incorporated companies, shall be required to keep their books of account iu this state, or true copies thereof, which shall be sub ject to examination by the duly qualified ac countants to be appointed by the attorney general of the state whenever he shall desire to do so, and at the expense of such trust. Tho report is signed by the following memberi of the committee: George Z. Er win, C. P. Velder, H. J. Coggesball, G. 8. Van Gordor, VV. I* Brown, Norton Chase and Jacob A. Cauter.
