Complaints are frequently made,
and perhaps without any foundation,
about short weights on coal. Now we
will say to the public and consumers
of coal, while we have no city scales
t. test the honest or dishonest by, We
ask those that have scruples, also
those that have not, to test any and
all coal they buy of US on any disin-
terested scales in town, and for every
pound they find it short We will double
it in money or coal. This don't mean
the present only but for all time to
come. Respectfully,

with view to the best interests of all con-
cerned. Mr.. Ruth says the failure was due
absolutely and unqualifediy to shrinkage
in values. He also says the vendors lien
referred to by Mr.. Gabler in his affidavit of
claims was too fimsy to bear the investiga-
tion of the court and never had an actual
existence as affecting the members Of this
company.
Finally, Mr.. Ruth says: aInstead of Mr..
Dowlin and myself not putting any money
into the concern, as alleged by Mr.. Gabler,
we put more cash into it and lost more
money than all the other stock COM
bined, outside of Messrs. Haas and Haley
and one other stockholder." He says he is
amply able to substantiate his statements in
the courts and is ready to meet the Issue at
any time, and that cowardly and gratuitous
lnsinuations, ''offered by other parties to
gain some notoriety in the case are equally
baseless and unworthy ofspecial reply"
