STANDS

NEW YORK. January &C Angus
tus Spreckels son of the sugar rcnner
who for many years wagod trade
war against the American Sugar Re
ining Company, has taken mp arms
against the present management of the
sugar trust i'm an effort To lift the veil
of corporate secrecy which the late
president of the company H. o. Have
MEYER. sioutly maintained against the
demand Of all the stockholders The
annual meeting of the American Sugar
Refining Company takes place Wednes-
day, in Jersey City. and at this meet
ing it is expected that Spreckels will
demand information as to the invest
ments and assets of the company which
has never been furnished.
Sprecke's determination to find out
in what condition the late Il. O. Have
meyer left the American Sugar Re
Gning Company originated with a con-
florence which he had on Friday last
with G.. r. Hoiko. secretary of the
American Company Spreokels de-
scribed this conference as highly UNI
satisfactory He gained access To- the
/ list of stockholders and dragged other
information ont OF the reluctant secre-
tary
I'm relating tonight what he discov-
cred Surcckels said that Hayemeyer
and other directors were owners Of very
/ few shares of stock and that a dozen
| dismantled plants, including the Amer
lean Sugar Refinery at San Francisco,
are included in the assets of the com
pany and are valued at absurdly high
| figures. Spreckels also ascertained that
| the sugar trust did not own a dollars
worth of stock in the American Beet
| Sugar Refining Company, and was I'M
able to learn whether the company
owned stock in the National Sugar Re-
! fning Company of which James H.
Post is acting head 1t has been sup
posed that the control of these COM
panies was vested with the Havemeyer
Sugar Trust.
In it's recent report the surplus of the
American Sugar Refining Company is
given at $14,425, 600. Mr.. Spreckels
says the company has no surplus and
that the half-dozen dismantled plants
that are no longer producing sugar
were included in the assets.
