statement that there are $4,000 for
eigners in the city, of whom only 5000
have an independent income. Of these
aliens $4,000 are Germans, although

Baltimore. Nov. 25.-'rhe Sugar Trust
has encountered an unexpected obstacle
To It's control of the baltimore Sugar
Refining company. Lawyers, who have
been studying the situation, claim that
the recent election of directors. which
resulted in the defeat OF the old board
composed Of Baltimoreans, and the sub
Stitution of board in sympathy with
the Trust was Illegal
The old management was unanimous
IN favor OF starting the plant at Cur
It's Bay, which is the best equipped
plant of its size in the United States,
as soon as possible, ana had made ar
rangements Ia begin the manufacture of
sugar by the middle Of December. pro-
Niding work for coo men, The Sugar
trust wanted the plant to remain idle

II is the opinion Of several LAWYERS

election is void
The Sugar Trust is now considering
TINS phase of the situation and II is re-
ported that 1t will call the stockholders
together again for the purpose of in
creasing the Maryland representation
in the board and avoid great legal com
plcations which would almost certainly
ensue.
The minority stockholders have not
abandoned the movement To have the
works operated, and if the Sugar Trust
does not issue orders that will start
the plant up and enable it to earn Re-
turns upon the quarter of million
dollars or more stock held in this CITY
