Spice company.

petition before Judge Morris asking

Co. Judge Morns caused a temporary
restraining order to beiissued and will
hear the motion on January 25th. The
petition Dames the Woolson Spice
company ana tne American bugar
Refining Co. as defendants and

holders; that the Woolson stock hold
ers have resigned leaving no board to
appeal to and the fast rising market

claration of this convention may there-
fore be assumed to contain all these
propositions.

Mexican Central company held a con
cession from the Mexican government
for several years for the proposed road
and the fact that this concession is
bout to be forfeited unless work is
begun is supposed to have influenced
the action of the directors. The

not over 3 per cent at any place.
