FAMOUS sun
Pending Tor Years Decided against Men Who
Manipulate The Stocks.

CLEVELAND. O Oct. 23.--Judge Kicks,
sitting in the United States circuit court of
the northern Ohio district, this morning de-
cided the famous suit involving the owner
ship of millions of stock of the Canadian
Copper Company, Anglo-American Iron
Co., and Central Ontario Railway Company
The suit had been pending in the courts
years and grew out of the manipula-
tlons OF the stocks of the
three companies by James B. and
Samuel II. Ritcbie. Those interested
iu the deals y it'll the Ritohies were ex-Sen-
stor IL. B. Payne, John Stephen Burke of
Hooking Valley fame. the estate of II. B.
Cornell. and J B. and George McMulleu.
The Ritchies sunk fortunes in the enter
prises, something like 81 500 900, and boz
rowed from the other stockholders nsmed,
the Ritchits giving large blocks of stock as
collateral securities.
When the failure of the enterprises be-
came apparent the Ritchies were sued for
the amounts borrowed. A counter claim
of nearly million and half was set up
for personal services of the Ritchies in the
manipulation of the stock. The best
legal talent in the state was engaged in
the trial and the fight was very bitter.
Judge Kicks disallowed all the claims
If the Ritchies and entered judgments
against them as follows III. Is. Payne,
5000 900; Stephen Burke, $3.50 900; Cor
nell estate. $500, 900; McMullens, Sa70,
900. The Ritchies were given IL days in
which TO iquidate the judgments. In
the event of their failure to do
50 the collateral securities were or
dered sold. If the amount realized
from the sale of the stocks exceeds the
amount of judgments the balance is to be
paid the Ritchies. If there's a deficit the
securities held by the wife of 5. X. Ritchies
are to be ordered sold by the court. Judge
Kicks referred to S. Il. Ritchie as a man
bound mp in the effort to make millions in
whose scruples he had very little faith.

ALUMINIUM C0RRoDES
and Becomes Covered with 6arnscIes in Salt
Water Ssy Naval Experts.

WASHINGTON. Oct 2S The navy de-
psrtment has just completed test of alum
lnum as material for ship boats with the
object of determining its adsptsbility to
naval uses, with results that demolish some
OF the elaborate claims made for the metal.
On account of its comparatively light weight
its utility on board ship is almost inestima-
BILE, if it were not for the fact that it
has been shown TO be exceedingly suscepti-
BILE to the corrosive action of salt water.
Two sheets, a sixteenth of an inch thick,
were immersed for three months at the
Norfolk navy yard. One was stated to be
pure metal and the other slightly alloyed
with nickel. The pure plate was thickly
covered ith large barnacles and through
out its surface was more or less pitted by
action of the salt water. The alloyed plate
was encrusted with smaller barnacles and
badly corroded, being perforated and
eaten away over much of its
exposed surface. This plate was as iDjuri-
ousiy affected as combination of iron and
copper would have been with the same ex-
posure.
The claim that barnacles would not ad-
here to the metal was not subsiantiated in
the small, ST degree. In the opinion of
naval experts, il is not advisable to build
aluminium boats if intended to remain any
time in the water, though the use of The
metal may be advantageous on account of
the great gain in ligh.ness, for metal work
exposed to salt water only occasionally.
