June 19.—Details of the vaat profits engineered by Henry Have- meyer in the amalgamation of sugar refineries were'furnished the house committee Investigating the sugar trust today by James Post, president of the National Sugar Refining Com pany. Mr. Poet eald that he was formerly Interested with Howell Sons A ' Co, which owned the Delaware sugar house. This house, he eald, was sold to ths sugar trust for $300,000, the stockhold ers receiving about three for one on their holdings. Mr. Post flatly denied, however, the allegations made by the government In Its bill against the sugar trust that Poet, Frederick Howell, D. Mollen- haueer and Henry O. Havemeyer had entered Into an agreement In 1894. to limit the output of the various plants they represented. He also emphatical ly denied another allegation made by the government that Post and George H. Frailer, of the Franklin Sugar Com. pany, had entered Into an agreement with W. J.. McCahan whereby the out put of the McCahan plant was limited to 50 per cent of Its real capacity. Mr. Post said that the National Bug nr Refining Company was organised In 1900 to take over the National Sugar Company of New Jersey, the New York Sugar Company and the Mollenhauser company, and that later the company purchased about one-fourth Interest in the McCahan plant, for which $1,250,000 was jiald, which was about thres for one of the stock. He said that ths National and the' Mollenhauser con cerns were on friendly terms, but that the New York company was Independ ent at that time. After falling to bear from Joseph S.

He Is wanted to tell of the affairs of the Utah-Idaho Sugar Company and has already mads three requests that ha be excused. After the committee had overruled the objection of Counsel Larkin, Mr. Post told a remarkable story of how $10,000,0000 In watered stock had been Issued at the formation of the National Sugar Refining Company.

A little business was transacted Monday. Painters were busy putting the finishing touches -on the banking room, 511 Candler building, which delayed operations. The books will not be regularly opened and things running ship-shape for another day. Throughout ths morning many de sirous of securing loans of varied small amounts called at the new bank and prepared application blank*. Many others had previously applied for loans thru letters to President W. Woods White and other officers. The Interest shown In the Institution this first day demonstrates that It will fill a long fell want of the men of small means and that they will not be alow ta take ad vantage of IL The capital stock of this bank Is $50,000, the full amount having been subscribed. One-fourth of the stock hat been called for, giving a working capital of $12,500 at the outset The other three-fourths will be called for as needed. The weekly payments on loans that will begin to come In In a few days will augment the working capital, so that the money can be turned over and over as new loans are desired. Plan Is Simple. Ths plan of operation for the new bank la very simple. Suppose a man of limited means It In debt $100, thru elckneee, for doctor's bill, drug bill, groceries, etc. He Is earning $2.60 a day, or $16 a business week, at his trade. He sees that $100 debt staring him In the face. Perhaps his creditors will cut their bills ten per. cent for cash. That means >10 saved and a load of worry lifted from hit mind. He goes to the anti-shark bank and makes ap plication for a loan. One or two In dorsers are required, but he probably has friends among the butlneis men who have sufficient confldence In him to sign his application. The man makes the required note, agreeing to pay $1 a week for 50 weeks and reoetves $100, less SS Interest for a year at S per cent, or $92 net. At the end of the year he has paid for two Class C shares of stock In the bank worth $50 each or $100—no more, no less. He can sur render this stock and wipe out his loan or h* can let the loan run another year, the stock being collateral security, and with his weekly payments pay off the loan and have $100 saved for a rainy day. The (list year hit stock will have earned $1 Interest, reducing the cost of tho lotn to $5. After the first year, if Continued on Lait Page.

A Snapshot' Wheh He Wasn’t Looking Photo hje Mathewson. W. S. WIT HAM. He's about To buy a Georgian from the newsle on the steps of the Candler building. If Sunday’s rain had been distributed over the state, Oeorgta would have had a good soaking, but only about half of It even got wst. Maybe you think It rained hard In Atlanta. Well. It did. when you consider the fact-that It had been two tnd a halt weeks sine* this city tnd section had even been sprin kled. but Atlanta's downpour was not a circumstance to what Augusta and Sa vannah had. Macon bad Just a bare trace and everything south of the Central City Is still as dry As a bon*. Officially. Atlanta had .49 Inch of rain In the twenty-four hours ending at 7 o'clock Monday morning, most of which fell after 7 o'clock Sunday night. That rain partially broka ths drouth that started on June 1. Thus far this month the weather bureau records show but Inch of rain, there having been trace* of moisture to the extent of .30 Inch earlier In the month. This year's drouth, how ever, still beats that of June and July, 1S9S, when .7$ Inch of rein came Jo break It. Indications srs for continued cloudy tnd showery weather hers two or three days, whan the backbone of the drouth will ba severed and green things will be gin to sprout ones mors. Ths .49 Inch official record for Sunday showed the amount of rain falling on ths gauge on the roof of ths Empire build ing. In the northern part of the city this was exceeded In places by probably a half Inch. For Instance, ths downpour was so hard out the Peachtree* that a section of belgfsn block paving was washed out In West Peachtree-st., at 8lxth-at. In the south tide of Atlanta It was lighter than un the official gauge. Just to show that It really did rain In Georgia Sunday, here are the records of s few places: Augusts 1.92 Inches. Sa vannah 2.54, Toccoa .57 and. Rome. 71. Macon, as aisled, showed only s bare trace, and Newnan, LaGrange. West Point. Columbus and all othar points south. In the Chattahoochee river basin, report no rain whatever. The precipita tion seemed practically confined to the Savannah river baaln. "Crop* were helped wonderfully by the rain which fell yesterday end last night,” said Captain R. F. Wright, assistant com missioner of agriculture, Monday morning. "That rain was certainly a Messing to Georgia and poasIMy saved thousands of dollars In her crop*. The corn crop has been the principal ons to Buffer, from the recent drouth, but I think the rain came Just In Urns to save the larger part of It. "This morning wa have had reports from some of the sections and they.tell us that the rain rtntt Just In time. I know that the crops In this section were saved by that ralnlslL” During the coming week the com* mission government Idea will be dis cussed so much that Atlanta will be full of It. And It I* very probable that the great majority will have decided what they think of It by the end of the week. v General council will begin the dis cussion Monday afternoon, but this body, which Is the most formidable part of the opposition to the commission plan, won't show Its real hand until tho commission advocates have made pub lic their charter. The question of char ter revision Is now In the hands of a special committee of council and lta members are playing the astute politi cians. The majority of council Is op posed to commission government and a vigorous effort will be made to block the campaign for It by offering a re vision of the present city charier. But councllmen are lying low until they see the new charter. The Ad Men's club will dlacuaa It Tuesday night at the meeting In the Cafe Durand at «:>0 o'clock. There are also members opposed to commis sion government In the club and they will oppose It In the argument Thus a most Interesting session la expected. On Thursday night, In ths Audito rium. William Jennings Bryan will lec ture on the subject. Besides winning the title of the Great Commoner, Mr, Bryan la a recognised authority on municipal commission government, and he Is an ardent advocate of it. He It now lecturing In the South, and Colonel F. J. Paxon hae received a definite ac ceptance of the Invitation to come to Atlanta and apeak on the laaue that haa suddenly become so vital here. Committee to Report. But of most Interest will be the re port of the committee of five—Robert F. Maddox, Alex C. King, Charles T. Hopkins. Julian Harris and Luther H. Still—on the commission plan charter. This committee hat practically com pleted Its work and will present It to the public the latter part of tho week. General public comment will bo In- vlted before the charter 1s presented to the legislature. The general assembly will be asked to allow the people to vote on the new charter at the fall election. When this committee makes Its re port, the definite plan of the commis sion advocates will be known. The de bate will be taken up In the streets. In the clube and In the homes. And by such means the decision of Atlanta on the new form of government will prac tically be made by the end of the week. All the comments on commission government won't be In favor of the cause. The plan will be fiercely at- * tacked at the meeting of general coun cil. for the majority of members there are much opposed to It, and there’ll he thorns among the roses with tho Ad Men. With such an Intensely Interesting project taking final shape. It Is an epochal week for Atlanta, and one that should be arousing to the most In different of men.
