pany to Dishibute George
town Stock.

The business connections Of the
Washington Gas Light Company and
the Georgetown Gas Light Company,
particularly the purchase OF $3.50
shares of the 5000 shares of the
Georsetown company by the Washing
ton concern, was made the subject Of
vigorous protest yesterday morning In
the form of suit against the WASH
ington Gas Light Company flied by
Thomas L. Hume, one OF the stock
holders in the defendant company.
In accordance with the suit the gas
company was later cited by Justice
Bernard to show cause next Friday
why a trustee should not be appointed
to take charge Of the stock of the
Georgetown company and why that
stock should not b eventually pro-
rated among the stockholders of the
purchasing company.
In addition to the company at large
the officers Of the company are named
as defendants. They are Joseph Letter.

1t is the contention of Mr. Hume, who
files his suit in behalf of such other
stockholders rs may also desire to In
tervene, that the purchase of the
Georgetown stock with the surplus
profits Of the company and without the
permission Of all of the stockholders
was unlawful The complainant holds
that the money really belonged to the
stockholders and that therefore the
stock purchased with 1t belongs to the
