Interest close to the Cuba Cane Sugar
organization yesterday denied the report
that the s25, 000. 900 financing authorized
by the stockholders after a brief but
bitter scrap last spring is to be carried
through in the very immediate future.

financing would be taken up and ordered
by the board was spread through the
Street. This was denied by director
of the company, who said that the only
meeting OF directors this week was
called for the purpose OF receiving the
report Of Gen. George w. Cocktails, who
has been inspecting the company's prop
critics in Cuba and investigating the
business generally. 1t has been rumored
for several days that this report was
ready for publication and that II was
very favorable. Yesterday 1t was learned
In an authoritative quarter that there is
some doubt as to whether or not the
report can be construed favorably, esTe-
,ially from the standpoint OF common
stakeholder. Cuba Cane was In liberal
supply most of the day yesterday. al
though the preferred stock managed TO
regain two of the six points 1t lost
in the preceding session. 1t 10 possible

for the weakness of both classes OF the
stock, but in some quarters 1t rs In
sited that advance knowledge OF what
the Goethals report will show Is respon-
sible for the decline.

that debtors probably would get their

little or nothing for the stockholders.
At that time It was reported that the
only reason that the stock was allowed

Colonel w. $. Mapes refused to dis.

seriously hampered by publication of
the fact that he was close on the trail
of the alleged plotters.
All men arrested since the military
assumed control of the situation are
held incommunicado. Paul CHASER, at
torney for the striking steel workers
was refused permission to see the men
Colonel Mapes declined to give out
names of the men held, where they
were arrested, or thu number under ar
rest, or why they were held.
Previously, however, he had infom
ed newspapermen that the maker OF
the Gimbel brothers bombs was among
the men taken into custody.
The man is said to have been iden'
titled by the peculiar construction Of
bombs found in the basement Of his
home, resembling fragments of the in
fernal machine which exploded on the
doorstep of Attorney General A. Mitch.
ell Palmer's house in Washington.
The bomb maker, according to re.
ports, was regularly employed in the
steel mills at Gary until the strike was
called and was one of the most violent
agitators in connection with the strike
before the arrival of federal troops.
