doing business.

The company was organized with a

nearly eight years OF business the
company has operated TO such good
purpose that its original fund Of

still intact even though s22, 900 have
been paid in dividends, assets
amounting to 1907 600 acquired, and

The Beet-Sugar
Industry in
Michigan

The citizens of Detroit from the very beginning have
taken active interest in the beet sugar industry They
organized and financed three the original sugar companies
in Michigan and since that time have increased their hold
ngs until they have millions of dollars invested in the
industry Most of these investments have proved profitable
which accounts in large for the popularity of
this form of securities.
Not only have the havesters reaped the benefit of the
establishment and development of the industry the State
of Michigan but other citizens of Detroit have shared in
the prosperity resulting from the erection and
of the seventeen beet sugar factories in Michigan
The industry has grown to such proportions that these
seventeen factories pay farmers of the state over
sS0oO0oO for their crop of beets They also pay the
railroads of the nearly 100000 for freight These
factories about 100000 of coal yearly
of which is mined in Michigan They also 100000
of limestone all of which is quaried within this

Ousted From Work Of

BREACH GROWS WIDER

The opposition Of the Amster inter-
ests to the receivcrship OF the Chicago,
Rock Island and Pacific Railway Com
pany apparently weakened somewhat
yesterday. Instead Of continuing to pro-
claim that they were going to take
steps to have the receivership vacated
and raise the necessary funds for tho
financial rehabilitation Of the property.
together with ousting the present man
agemcnt. counsel for ~ l.. Amster said
that they were going to move for the
discharge of II a. Nudge, president OF

property.
The Ainster anmus against Mr. Nudge

to he a receiver for the property in
that he IL one OF the defendants in a
suit brought by the Amster interests
against him and other officials and d.
rectors OF the company for the restitu-
ton OF $1,000. 900 which was lost through
a transaction with the st. Louis and san
Francisco Railroad Company. Az re-
ceiver OF the road, the Amster interests
hold, Mr.. Nudge IL bound to prose-
cute those responsible for the loss OF the
s7,50o.000 and In so doing he would
be forced to prosecute himself.
The breach between the managing in
terests Of the company and Mr. Amster
continues to widen. 1t was stated yester-
terday at the Rock Island offices that,
in spite OF all the interest which Mr., Am
ster alleges he has in the property. he
never once came TO the offices seeking
any Information.
II is understood that negotiations are
under way between the Rock Island and
the Central Trust Company looking to
the extension OF the s2,500.o0o loan
which that institution has made to the
railway company. II is hoped that II can
be extended from April so the date OF It's
