Because of Alleged Failure TO Comply
With Local Code.

A violation "order issued by Building
/ Inspector Ellis P Preston yesterday, held
up the work of the Standard Concrete
Steel Construction Company Of Baltimore,

Ice Cream Company plant at Twenty
sixth and Market streets.
One Of the provisions Of the local
building code calls for the painting Of
steel reinforcement that is 10 be covered
with the concrete mixture. While this
is not required in some other places. and
the value of it Il IN dispute among ex-
perts. it is nevertheless a condition Of
permits issued here, and neglect Of this
procedure is clearly q violation which It
is the duty Of the inspector TO enforce.
Another ground Of objection is the
inclusion Of steam plant IN the structure.
II was understood by neighboring prop
ertv owners that all the mechanical opera
tions were to be carried on by electric
power otherwise protests would have been
made to consenting to the location Of the
plant in the present neighborhood

H|GHWAYMEN HOLD
UP ". J. ELLIOTT
NEAR HIS HOME
Bold Robbers Get Small Sum OF
Money and Diamonds Worth
Over $1,000.
MISS GETTING $4,000 ROLL

One of the boldest highway robberies
in the history of this city, IN which they
have been numerous in recent times, was
perpctrated about / O'clock Tuesday
night at the corner of Twenty-sixth and
Harrison streets. The victim was William
]. Elliott. of 27l2 n. Harrison street, presi-
dent of Walker & Elliott, Inc, machine
shop. He was relieved of 500 in money
and diamond ring and stick pin valued
at S2,250.
Mr.. Elliott had just alighted from a
boulevard car and was on his way home.
When he reached Twenty-sixth and
Harrison streets, two men appeared, one
with revolver and the other with a
blackjack. They demanded his money,
and were greatly incensed when they got
only $40. They insisted on his handing
over his roll. " and when told that was all
he had. they searched him from head TO
foot, going through every pocket, looking
into his shoes and hat and in their search
for his roll very nearly removing hls
trousers and other clothing.
They then took ring with "a dla-
mond setting and a stickpin with l-carat
setting. The former Mr.. Elliott said was
worth 81 500 and the latter $3.50,
MIR. Elliott had been to the races at
Pimlico that day and had won about
$500, which he took the precautlon to
leave in the Pimhc0 clubhouse safe. This
was what the highwaymen were evidently
after, seeming TO have knowledge of the
fact that he had had large amount at the
track, and believing that he would carry
it with him home
Incensed at their failure TO get a large
amount ofmoney they were expecting the
one with blackjack struck blow at Mr..
Elliott, which he dodged, the blackjack
only grazing and somewhat stunning him.
They took Mr.. Elliott's watch also
but when told by him it had his mono
gram on it, it was returned.
A young woman who witnessed the
hold-up hurried to a telephone and called
the police department and the patrol and
detectives were dispatched TO the scene
The robbers were not 10 be found in the

in order to promote efficiency; the Board
of Education, which feels that 1t must
increase the pay of teachers and make
some physical improvements In the schools
and the Fire Department, which says 1t
cannot exist on what it is receiving now.

PLENTY Of SUGAR
BUT ITS H1ARDED,
PRESERVER SAYS
Finds 100000 Tons More Than
Last Year, But All in Grip
Of Prof1teers.
FRUIT MEN WONT BUY
TILL PRICE Is CUT LOWER
By Associated Press 70 Every Evening

New York, May 20-The National
Preserves and Fruit Association an
nouneed here today that its members viii
STAY out OF the sugar market until the
price Of sugar comes down from It's present
high level
The association claims 10 represent s.
per cent of the manufacturers OF the
country who make jams, lellles and pre-
serves.
'sThe so-called shortage Of sugar does
not exist, read a statement by Marcus
Blakerhore. president Of the national as
sociation, who has investigated available
supplies with the help Of Department Of
Justice and representatives OF the re-
fining company. Present prices represent
pure imitation used to avoid boarding BY
sugar spectators.
He said that with the sugar that has
already been received in this country and
the amounts contracted for and available
on the Cuban market. an excess Of more
than 100000 tons over last wears total
consumption Is in sight.
Last wear with a government-fiXed
price of nine cents a pound. we did not
use nearly as much sugar as we have
available thus wear" Mr.. Blakemore de-
clared. And this year. owing to the con
dIti0n OF foreign exchange ana trans
portation conditions the demand for ex-
port is much smaller Theenet result is
that there IS plenty Of sugar. bat the
public has been scared into paying the
exorbitant and outrageous prices by the
spectators who have shouted shortage
and held their stocks for still higher
prices
Mr.. Blakeinore said that he and other
members of the association had been sur
prised By the amount they found stored up
10 the country.
When We started this investigation we
thought, as everyone did, that there really
was 3 shortage. Our purpose was to dis
cover where the sugar was SO we could buy
II for use in our business. When we dis
covered the facts we called meeting Of
the association.
Out of about sixty members. represent
ing 81 per cent of the ham. jelly and pre-
serve industry in the country more than

"0ur action was unanimous. After the
members heard our report 81 conditions
they voted unanimously to refuse to pur-
chase sugar until present prices are Gu I
in two We viii close down our factories
