The Unitsd Press sued for Receive
and An Accouuttne.


The Unitsd Press sued for Receiver
and an Accounting.
New YoRK, Oct. 24.-Suit was brought
in the New York supreme court today
against the United Press for the ap-
pointment Of receiver and an account
ing. The action runs against the United
Press, Charles A. Dana, William M.
Lsfan, John r. Walsh, Walter p. Phil
lips and half dozen other directors.
The complainant is the Evening News
association OF Detroit, Mich. 1t is
charged that the United Press was or
ganized under the laws OF New York in
1882 and reorganized in 1884. The CON-
plainant held five shares Of founders
stock. For some years all went
well, but some time about
the close of 1887 the officers
formed q syndicate among themselves
Tor the organization OF a new company
under the laws of Illinois, to take the
business of gathering and collecting
news off the hands OF the original COM
pany. The original company had q
capital stock of $4,000, but the new
company is capitalized for 80 times as
much, that is for 100000. On this
basis some stockholders OF the New
York company were permitted to ex-
change their shares in that company for
q new issue by the Illinois company, re-
ceiving 30 shares of new stock for everv
share they held of old. This deal COM
pleted. contract was drawn up between
the old company and the new, whereby
the million-dollar corporation undertook
to take charge of the news business and
guaranteed an annual dividend of 6 per
cent OF the twenty thousand-dollar COM
pany. 1t proved profitable deal for the
avorefstockholders who were accorded
the privilege of exchange of stock, for
the new company began forthwith to pay
annual dividends of per cent, showing
that the business would have yielded
200 per cent dividends to the sharehold-
ers of the old company. The stock
holders of the New York company who
were not given chance to 60 into the
illinois company were soon startled to
find that for guarantee of 0 per cent
they had given away 200 per cent. For
two years past no dividends have been
paid, but the complaint in the suit in
stituted today expects to establish the
fact that the stockholders of the United
Press of New York were defrauded out |
of considerable profit during the four
or five years when the United Press of |
Illinois was making money. There are
also certain valuable telegraph contracts
which the complaint maintains should
be used for the benefit of the New York
alone, and an effort will be
made to prevent what is claimed to be
an unlawful and fraudulent use of these
by the Illinois company.

It Was Politics For Him Not to Know Ex-
Judge Dittenhoefer.

It Was Politics For Him Not to Know Ex-
Judge Dittenhoefer.
Most Of the stories worth printing
about the famous Chicago convention of
1880 have been published, but here is one
that seems to be new: Ex-Judge Ditten-
hoefer was in Chicago working against
Grant and third term. Bernard Big
lin was there in the interest Of Grant.
Both were old personal friends. The
night before the balloting began Biglin
and two others were appointed COM
mittee to look after several southern
delegations, among them being the Ken
lucky delegation.
When Biglin and his associates ar
rived at the Kentucky headquarters, they
found that Dittenhoefer had got ahead
of them. He had the floor and was de-
hvering strong speech against Grant,
saying, among other things, that Grant
could not carry New York. Biglin saw
that Dittenhoefer's remarks were having
great weight, and he realized that he
was no match for him as talker. What
to do to break the force Of Dittenhoefer's
speech was the problem that confronted
Biglin. This was the method he Sc
lected. In the midst of Dittenhoefer's
peroration Biglin called out in loud
voice, WHO is that mani?
"Why, he is ex-Judge Dittenhoefer of
New York." said Il member of the Ken
lucky delegation. 70 ssto0
"Oh, no; that's not Judge Dittenhoe-
fer" said Biglin. 81 know Judge Often
hoefer well. This man may pretend to
be Dittenhoefer to strangers, but he
knows better than to try to work any
such racket with New Yorkers. I tell
you he's fraud"
Biglin's remarks made a sensation.
Suspicious glances were cast at Ditten-
hoefer by members of the Kentucky del
egation. The former got red in the face
and walked up to Biglin. Barney" he
said, holding out his hand, "that's
pretty good joke of yours, not to know
me-"
''Joke," shouted Biglin in contempt
"It's no joke, 1 can tell you. will just
bet you $50 that you are not Judge Dit
tenhoefer of New York" Biglin -four
ished $40 bill in Dittenhoefers face.
OF course he had to accept the chal-
lenge. The money was put up in the
hands of member of the delegation.
Dittenhoefer hurried away to get some
one to identify him. When he returned,
Biglin had disappeared, likewise the
stakeholder. After the convention Dit
tcnhoefer met Biglin in the hotel corri-
dor. "What did you mean," he said,
"by saying you did not know me that
night at the Kentucky headquartersr'
what did you mean," said Biglin,
"by saying that Grant could not carry
New York;"
"That was politics" answered Often
hoefer.
"Well," said Biglin, sit was politics
my not knowing you"
Dittenhoefer and Biglin are still
friends. New York Press.

SAN FRANcIsco, Oct. 24.-The demand
for freight cars to accommodate east.
bound tonnage is unabated, the offerings
of freight being greater than ever before
known at this season OF the year. IL,
E. Huntington of the Southern
Pacific said that though the vol
ume OF traffic is unprecedented
the company's earnings have been
diminished at least 15 per cent in the
past two months, as compared with last
season. The reason for this he ex-
planned by saying that on 30 per cent OF
the list of California products sent east
ward the company is not getting back
the cost of transportation. The policy
of the company, he said. is to aid in
creating market for California pro-
