Hundreds of people are gathering In

DENVER, Col, May 30.-Sallie Hanley,

Her appearance here is entirely of her
own accord She expressed much indig-

cape an examination at the trial. of DR..
Graves and has taken this course, she
says, that. her presence here may give
them an emphatic denial. She does not
fear, she declares, the consequences of
the fullest investigation of her connec-
ton with the case and will give the au-
thorities every assistance in their work of
unravelling the mystery of the poisoning.
Upon her arrival she went direct to the
District Attorneys Office and. requested
that a warrant be Immediately made out
for her arrest, If such was deemed neces-
sary to keep her here. She was inform
ed that there was no Indictment against
her, and that the authorities had no in
tention of putting her under restraint.

New Xorly's AttOEney-Genernl Decides -
Bring suit TO Dissolve It.


Bring Suit 60 Dissolve It.
ALBANY, N. Y, May 80. Attorney GEN
eral Tabor has decided to bring an action
to dissolve the eCelluloid Novelty COM
pany and the Celluloid Brush Company.
The applications were made in April
last by Thomas III. Huncles of Brooklyn,
stakeholder In both companies.
The allegations made by the complain
ant are to the effect that the .Celluloid
Manufacturing Co., the American Zyloh-
lite Co., the United Zylonite Co. and the
Lithoid Co., together with the Brush Co.
and the Novelty Co., all of which were
organized under the Manufacturers Cor
poration Act, with the exception of the
Lithoid Co., which is of foreign birth,
have formed trust under the laws of
New Jersey under the name of the Cellu-
loid Co., with a capital of Sc, 900, 000 All
the stock, real estate and personal prop
erty of the constituent companies were
transferred to the New Jersey corpora
ton.
This is practically an action against
the Celluloid Trust, which in December
last was formed along lines very similar
to those Of the Sugar Trust.
Prior to that time there existed besides
the Celluloid Novelty Company. the Zylo-
mite Company Of New York City, the
ohtACA 6JAOhAbC SOAAPeshy VI 4NOEbA
AdamsS Mass, and the Iithold Company
of Newburyport, Mas3., all engaged in
manufacturing celluloid articles.
In December last they all secretly
united to form the Celluloid Company, q
corporation incorporated under the laws
of the State of New Jersey, and entered
into an agreement, which was consum-
mated by the execution and delivery Of
their respective deeds of all their corpor-
ate property, real and personal, to a new
| company or trust.
This, as the petitioner Huncles alleges,
was done in gross violation OF their cor
porate rights and privileges and by abuse
| of the corporate powers.
Huncles, who owned sixty-one shares OF
the Celluloid Novelty Company, protested
and endeayored to obtain an abstract oi
the minutes of the proceedings at which
it was accomplished.
Permission to do so was refused to him.
and he at once brought the matter before
the Attorney-General, claiming that hfs
rights and those of all other stakeholder.
had been extinguished. &
The Celluloid Company was started
with a capital Of Sc, 100000.

How to Eat Fruit.

The reason why fruit disturbs some
people is the way 1t is eaten. Most
kinds of fruit have solid flesh which
requires thorough mastication. The
majority Of dyspeptics eat fruit and
everything else too fast, and that is the
reason that they are dyspeptics. If
fruit is thoroughly chewed, Il can be di-
gested by almost everyone. The same
Is true Of the use of nuts.-Dr. J. III.
