GH DENIES SMOOTCHARGE NO TRUST AMONG FERTILIZER MEN.?AGREEMENTS MA DE nrrxLi rurMTU AND r.FRMAN YT 1111 i CONCERNS EXPIRED IN APRIL. TELLS OF CONTRACTS. Richmond, Va., Aug 10?Dabney Crenshaw, vice president of the Virginia-Carolina Chemical com pany, tonight denied that there is a semblance of a trust among American manufacture of ferti lizers dealing with foreign concerns to the exclusion of American pro ducers, as charged in tho United States senate last Tuesday by Sen ator Reed Smoot (Republican) of Utah. Because the. American producers were unable to compete in price and quantity, Mr. Crenshaw said, 34 American manufacturers of fertiliz ers signed contracts with German and French concerns for their en tire supplies of potash last fall, but the contracts ended last April and the manufacturers have since been at the liberty to deal wherever they desired. "There was no idea of restraint of trade in making such contracts," said Mr. Crenshaw. "On the other hand w? permitted the small man ufacturer to purchase potash in small quantities at the same price sve paid for it in great quantitiee. "The whole thing was done as much in the interests of the farmer is for the manufacturer. While I appeared in the senate Tuesday as i representative of the fertilizer manufacturers I really represented :he farmer. Potash had always been >n the free list and I was there for ;he purpose of having it again plac ed there? Any duty on potash would iave to be paid for by the farmer tnd that means that the consumer vould have to bear the cost in the ind." (Mr. Crenshaw Said the American 'ertilizer manufacturers made the :ontracts with the German and Trench concerns ibecause the Amer can producers were unable to com pete in price and supply. He said hat Senator Smoot is one of the nembers of the senate finance com nittee who urged a tariff on potash arhich would have increased the price approximately 50 cents per anit, 'or about $25 a ton for fer ilizer. That w?uld have meant, he jaid, an increase in the price of fer tilizer in this country of $54,000, D00 in the next five years. And that ncrease, Mr. Crenshaw said would lave to be paid by the farmer and lot by the manufacturer. >88 DIE IN NEW YORK BY ACCIDENT IN JULY New York, Aug. 10.?Accidents ;ook a total of 288 lives in the five >oroughs of New York city during fuly of this year, according to the Safety Institute of America.
