WASHINGTON". June n-Henry C.
Havemeyer. during all his connection with
the Utah-Idaho Sugar company, of which
Joseph F. Smith, head of the Mormon

gested a director or officer of that cor
poration, declared Vice President Thomas

house auger trust committee of Inquiry
today.
Mr. Cutler testified that Havemeyer. who
had acquired interests In several of the
original Mormon companies, at first ob
jected to their consolidation Into the Utah
Idaho 'company.
"Mr. Havemeyer was much opposed to
the proposed merger at first." said Mr.
Cutler. "He said he preferred to have his
stock in the various companies remain as
It was. It did make considerable differ
ence with the western stockholders and
our people, and It took a great deal of ar
gument, stretching over several months, to
Convince Mr. Havemeyer that the consol
idation effected In li0T was beneficial.
Havemeyer Kept from Control.
"Some of the stockholders feared that
Mr. Havemeyer and the American Sugar
Refining company sought to get control.
For this reason an agreement waa drawn
up, which Mr. Havemeyer was asked to
sign, providing that the original stock
holders should name three directors, the
eastern Interests three, and these six a
seventh.
"Mr. Havemeyer agreed to the proposal.
I suggested several names, and he ac
cepted them, so that I really named the
lx directors, all western people. No one
of the American Sugar Refining company
Is on the board except as I represent them.
"I asked Mr. Havemeyer next about the
seventh man, or who should be president.

would very much desire that the president
of the Mormon church be president of the
company, because of his Influence with the
people and his InteAst In the business en
terpriaaa of ths people.
' 'All right. - Mr. Cutler.". Mr. . Havemeyer
at once replied. That Is all right. Just the
thing.' President Smith was named presi
dent sf tbs company, and Mr.-Havemeyer
nevef afterward suggested aa' officer or
director."
Mr. Cutler said that only about SO per
cent ot the stock of the company la held
by. Mormons, and some of the directors
are not Mormons.

French Cabinet
is Defeated by a
Small Majority
Deputies Decline to Give Vote of Con
fidence on Question Involving
Administration of Army.
PARIS, June a. The government
defeated In the Chamber ot Deputies to
day on a question relative to the supreme
command of the army in case of war. The
deputies voted against the government, 288
to C4. and this evening the ministers de
cided to present their resignations to
President Fallleres. -The
adverse -vote ef the chamber waa
due to the admission by General Golran,
the minister of ' war. In-the senate last

Deputy Hesse interpolated the government
on the aubject and opposed the system of
military control as outlined by General
Golran. Thereupon the government asked
tor a vote of confidence and failed to ob

The sudden reverse to the government
was wholly unexpected.

the lack of a floor leader kept the water

resentative Leavltt announced that he

RECIPROCITY WILL NOT FAIL
Senator Penrose Predicts Passage of
Bill After Some Delay.
COALITION A ROPE OF SASD
He Says Differences Between Demo
crats and Insurgents Are go Rad
leal that Combination Can
not Last.
WASHINGTON, June J3.-Benator Pen
rose, chairman of the senate committee on
flnai.ee. said today that the Canadian reci
procity bill will not fail by reason of the
new coalition between Insurgent republic
an and democrats, which placed the regu
lar republicans in the minority. Speaking
Of that coalition he said: '
"It Is a rope, of sand and it will net hold.
The performance of the . insurgent and
democrats on Wednesday .was effective for
the time, but the differences between the
twjo. elements are so radical that tha ooso
bloatlon will not continue, and If the pur
pose of It was to defeat Canadian reci
procity ft will fall.
"With the- tariff question dumped into
the senate In connection with reciprocity,
delay is to be expected, but In the end
reciprocity will go through, and it then
will remain to be seen what shall be done
with the tariff bills now before the senate
and those yet to be presented."
The outlook in the senate Is for a long
and somewhat dreary period of debate, wl'h
no prospect rf relief. Under the presei.t
cordltlons, with no party In control and no
leadership recognised, no one can say in
advance what la going to happen, or when
anything may transpire out of the ordi
nary. The reporting ot the free list bill and the
woolen bill adversely means nothing more
than that they are thrown Into the senate
and that the senate may do as it plfes
with tbem regardless of the commit'et's
recommendation. The eight majority m -rubers
of the finance committee have no
more influence over the fate ot the b lis
In the senate than have any other s.nillir
number of Influential senators. Their rec
ommendation would not prevent the pas
sage of the bills tomorrow If other condi
tions were favorable.
Frill the members -ot the committee are
conceded to have accesa to btter Inform.
tlcn than have other Senators, and whn
Senator Penrose predicts favorable action
on the reciprocity bill he voices what Is
unquestionably the predominating opInU n
of a majority of senators regarding the
outlook for the measure. '
Even democrats- and Insurgents agree
I that the probabilities are favorable to the
success of the reciprocity bill, and a ma
jority of the democra's are n-w unqurs
tlonably opposed to any amendment of It.
There la a hare possibility of agreeing over
the La Follette-Brtstow-Cummlns tariff
amendments, but in the face of certainty
that the president will take a positive posi
tion against all amendments It. la extremely
doubtful whether any rider can be placed
upon the bill.
Senate Will Vote on
Boot Amendment
Monday Afternoon
WASHINGTON, June 23. -The senate
agreed today to vote next Monday on the
Root amendment to the wpodpulp and paper
schedule of the Canadian reciprocity trilL
The proposal for a vote Monday was
made by Chairman Penrose of the finance
committee and there waa no opposition.
The senate will not be in session tomorrow.
Rumor ot a recess of congres from
July 1 to October 1 to tide the extra ses
sion over the heated season were revived
today along with an agreement In the sen
ate to adjourn from today until Monday.
The adjournment ot the senate over until
Monday was to allow Vive President Sher

LONDON. June fl-KIng George and
Queen Mary today showed themrelvea to
the masses as distinct from the more fa
vored classes who were able to obtain ac
cess to the circumscribed area of yester
day's pageant.
Today's procession was on an even
grander scale thsn that of the coronation.
The route was more extended. Including a
circuit of some of the most populous dis
tricts of the capital; the crowds that
looked on were correspondingly greater
and their majesties were accompanied by
large escort.
The scenes along the route were to a
great extent a repetition of those y ester
day, with a much greater crowd ot spectaa
tors.
The procession began to form In the
yard of Buckingham palace and the ad
jacent streets at S o'clock and two hour
later It was under way.
Between lines of cheering thousands the
royal party made stately pregree from
Buckingham palace by way of Constitution
Hill, Plccadlly, Trafalgar Square, through
the city, over London bridge, by Borrough
road and Westminster bridge, thus making
a complete circle.
The pageant Included four full squadron
of cavalry, representing all branches of that
arm of the service, life guards, dragoons.
Hussar and Lancers, each accompanied
by its own band and a section of horse
artillery.
' These were followed by all the naval and
military aides de camp' on duty, tbs War
office staff, deputations of foreign officers,
the royal suite, the members of the royal
family and the foreign prince and the
colonial Indian escorts, who immediately
preceded the state carriage.
. In the royal equlppage with the king
and queen rode Held Marshal Kitchener
and the bearer of the royal standard. The
royal escort brought up the rear.
' Seata far many thousands had been
erected .. along this long route and the
progress of the king end queen was Indeed
a royal one. everywhere they received an
uproarious - welcome from the visitor In
the hotels, from the stand of Plocidally.

Deeoratloae gpectaeslsr.
The decorations of yesterday remained In '
Piccadilly and those In the other streets '
traversed were not less spectacular. In
the Strand there were rows of mast, each
bearing a red lion and underneath a red
velvet drapery with a Hon rampant In the
center. Festoon of various color ran from
mast to mast. t
Down Fleet street to LUd Ate circus there '
were alternately Venetian tnasu with cross
bars and pillar masts, the Venetian masts
surmounted by an angel or figure of fame,
with her trumpet, while the pillar masts
i supported the British lion and the unicorn.
The masts were connected by festoons of
! greenery.
Somewhat similar decorations had been
made in the other streets of the city, whlls
across the entrance to London bridge a
triumphal arch had been erected.
. South of the river, every house, no matter
how modest, had a piece of bunting flying.
Except for the absence of the gold coach,
the cavalcade was more brilliant than that
of yesterday and the stands along the route
certainly made a brighter appearance.
Those on Constitution hill overlooking the
palace garden were filled with uniformed
officers from every part of the world, who
had come to London to honor Britain'
King, Wltn ineir uuiimy urwvm laaiea.
