ausTAcE OUT.

The books of the Kamalo Sugar Com
pany were turned over to the new offic-
ers and directors yesterday by Frank
Hustace upon the payment of the $4,000
which was due him for money person
ally advanced during his incumbency as
agent for the plantation.
Director Hitchcock busted himself
yesterday forenoon in effectng the
transfer of the stock books. A stock
holder who owes money on the fourth
and fifth asse ssments was approached
and agreed to advance $4,000 OIL the 3d.
900 on condition that another stock
holder advance the remainder. Mr..
Hitchcock soon arranged for this a
mount in cash and upon it's presentation
to Frank Hustace he received in return
all the books and papers belonging to
the company.
A meeting of the officers and direct
ors will be held this afternoon to con-
slider plans for the calling in OF the
money due on the fourth and fifth as
sassments. 1t is understood that the
directors will issue notice calling for
the principal due on the two assess
ments, without interest.
The notice will probably be posted to-
morrow morning, giving thirty days
time in which to make the payments
This will give people on the other ISL
ands who own stock in the company
ample time to come forward and pay
their assessments if they desire to keep
their 81 ares.
Also it Is probable that notice will
be given tomorrow for the removal of
the injunction suit begun short time
ago to prevent the sale of delinquent
sock. If all the assessments are paid
up, something like $4,000 will be accu-
mulated, which will pay up all blIis
pending against the plantation and
leave balance for working expenses.
The Hawaiian Trust and Investment
Company Is now the treasurer of the
company and will be ready today to re-
ceive the delinquent assessments and
will make transfers of stock If required.

Pittsburg, March 22.-The Carnegie

lowing statement:
"1hs partners Of the Carnegie Steel
company, limited, and the stockholders OF
the H. y. Frlok Coke company, have
agreed upon q plan Of reorganization,
vesting the ownership and control OF said
CON panies In one company to be ircor.

"rhe effect of the proposed reorgani-
zation will be to terminate the equity

"The articles Of the association Of the
Carnegie Steel company liquidated ss a

change contemplated will be effected be-
fore that date. The objection to the cor
porate organization has heen overcome,
a way having been found by which de-
serving employees can be received into the
company from time TO time upon exactly
the same terms as others have been ad-
mittsd In the past.
"An the various interests inc cluding

Q rbtain a charter under the laws Of New
