Secret of Havemeyer Still Elusive in Sugar Trust Inquiry
Washington June 14 The sugar trust probe pressed Charles R Heike for details on Henry Havemeyer influence and the merger of the United States Sugar Refining Co. Heike claimed no special ties while Edwin F Atkins testified Havemeyer ruled the firm from 2000 000 of 90 000 000 in holdings. Directors books showed Baltimore refinery sale for 181 000 but no clear plan for its abandonment.
