Equitable Trust Given
Writ Against Sugar Firm
Central Corporation Restrained
From Placing Mortgage
for S3.COO,OOO

The Equitable Trust Company, in the
Supreme Court yesterday, obtained
from Justice Martin an injunction re-
straining the Central Sugar Corpora
ton from giving mortgage on its
property to secure proposed bod
issue of $3.000,00O without first paving
the Equitable company an indebtedness
OF $4,000 and interest.
1t was alleged by the trust company
that the Central Sugar Corporation had
not sufficient funds on hand to meet
existing liabilities, and that the de-
fendant company had sent out notices
of the proposed bond issue to stock
holders asking for proxies.
The notice to stockholders of the
sugar company set forth that the
money raised by the proposed mortgage
was to be used in improving its prop
erty in Cuba, and that the money was
necessary for the planting of a sugar
crop. According to the defendant. &
committee investigating sugar conGi-
tions in Cuba reported that the crop
there this year will amount to $500 900
tons. of which 100000 tons are held
by the Cuban Sugar Commission.

Miss Lena Clarke, postmistress here,
VINO is being held without bail at Or

Senate Learns of
Propaganda to Aid
Cerman-Made DYES
Work Done With Imported
Colors Condemned in Be-
lief Tints of American
Manufacture Were Used

FROM The Tr,bune's Woshin0ton Bureau
WASHINGTON, Aug 3.-In the hear
ing before the Senate Finance Com
mlttee on the question of dyestutfs
embargo to-day Daniel +. Waters. pres
ldent Of the Germantown Dye Works.
OF Philadelphia, asserted that Ameri-
can money built up the German dive
industry. Mr.. Waters, who said he had
been dyer for forty years, recalled
the time, he said, when he bought the
first aniline dyes from Germany at $40
a pound.
in those days, Mr.. Waters said. only
American gold WAS accepted, and it was
on American gold that the Germans
built up the industry which, he held.
threatened now to destroy the dive in
dustry in this country.
Mr.. aters said he was an independ-
ent consumer Of dyes, and that since
the war he had been purchasing Ameri-
can dyes and found them entirely salts
factory.
1t was contcndod by Mr.. Waters
that this country to-day is independent
OF other nations for dyes. Unless the
American dye industry representing
more than 000O, 900, was protected
by an embargo, or in some adequate
way, ne insisted, it would be destroyed
as result of German competition.
Mr.. Waters ascribed the higher cost
Of dyes here to higher costs of labor.
The committees session today was
cut short by business before the Sen
ate. Joseph H. Choate, of New York.
general counsel for the America Dye
Institute, is expected to testify at
70 Io..
who spoke briefly, said that "unlegs
protection is afrded the American dive
manufacturers through an embargo
agsinst foreign imports the industry
will not be able TO survive"
Mr.. Choate said the industry "was
just 9 little nearer the dogs than be-
fore"
The committee held out little hope
that anything could be done to extend
the dye embargo provisions in the
emergency tariff bill. These provisions J
expire August 27.
