sEABoARD AIR LINE
REPORTED THAT THE PENDING
DEAL Is OFF.
Mr.. Ryan Claims an Examination OF
the Books is Denied him.--Nr'
Holman Talks.

Baltimore, Nov. 12.-According to re-
ports current to-day in local financial err
cles the hitch in the negotiation for the
transfer of the stock OF the Seaboard
and Roanoke Railroad Company, which
carries with it the control of the Seaboard
Air Line system, and the Baltimore
Steam Packet Company, 70 the Ryan
Thomas syndlcates of New York, is due
20 the refusal on the part OF the Sea-
boards management to allow an expert
examination OF the books and accounts
of the property.
When Mr.. Ryan and his associates OBJ
tanned an option on the stock pooled
with Messrs. Louis McLane, Moncure
Robinson and Judge Leigh II. Watts, 1T
was agreed that if the annual report of
President Hoffman was verified by an
exnert examination, the books were to
be closed an a basis of 1925 share for
the poolholdings, which amounts to
about $500 shares, and 500 share for
the 2.7O0 shares on which General John
Gill obtained an option. 1t is said that
the syndicate has all along been ready
to carry out its part of the contract, and
that it has the money on hand to pay
over, but that the railroad people have
persistenly refused, and still refuse, to
produce the books. This is understood to
be the status of the matter at present,
and unless the books are produced before
Monday, it is likely that the deal will
fall drought.
President r. Curzon Hoffman, who re-
turned from Portsmouth Va said in
answer to query, that so far as he
knew. there had been no change in the
negotiations.
As for the alleged refusal on the part
of the management to allow an exam
nation of the books he said that he was
in absolute ignorance of any such refusal.

CHAMPAGNE DELUsIONs.

The Sweet Variety Is Acquitted OF the
Responsibility for Gout.
Some decisions about champagne-de-

George Harley-are dispelled in an article
which that physician has written for the
June number of the Contemporary Re-
view. Young men," he says, ''who pre-
fer strength to flavor not only sometimes
add brandy to champagne, but even drink
it iced in the coolest weather. They do
not know that it requires temperature of
sc Fahrenheit to bring out in perfection
the more delicate of the vinous aromas OF
sparkling wines. Lord Palmerston was
about right when he said that he looked

Sweet champagne is acquitted by DR.. Har-

| Sugar is an Indispensable element In the
production of champagne from Its birth
to its maturity. But the idea that sugar
causes govt is secuted by DR.. Harley. Far
sweeter champagne is drunk on the CONT

than in any other. DR.. Vaughan Harley,
while working at the Sorbonne in Paris,

totally failed to induce the disease, al
though he is hereditaTiy equity. Proba-

wines. anxious to find an excuse for drink

sweeter Dung ones. The most alcoholic
and acid ones are the chief generators OIL

rect by the property-owners. Assessments

FILM WAS A TRESPASSER
Judge Campbell Orders Him to
Return Mrs. Ferry's Fur
niture at Once.
His Honor Again Comments Forcibly
Upon the Lack of Usury Laws
on the Statute Books.

The search warrant case of Mrs. E. P.
Ferry of 1107 Bush street against John w.
Finn, auctioneer, 321 Suffer street, was
concluded before Judge Campbell yester-
day afternoon, and the Judge made an
order that she should have her furniture
returned to her.
Theodore Kyttler, the artist, was re-
called for the defense, but nothing new
was elected from him. Then S. jacobson
was recalled, and he admitted that he did
not instruct Finn to carry off the furni-
ture on July 2. He fenced with the ques-
tons put to him, and when taxed with en-
deavoring to shield himself from future
actions he cheerfully acknowledged its
truth.
Two teamsters and an employe of Finn,
who were present when the furniture was
seized and carted away, gave unimportant
testimony, and Attorneys Countryman
and MCGOWAN presented their arguments.
Judge Campbell in giving his decision
said: Personally l have no feeling in
this matter, and I shall do what / regard
as legally my duty, and nothing else.
''From all the facts, written and verbal,
have no hesitation in saying that Finn
had no right to go into Mrs. Ferry's house
and take her furniture.
Men, through avarice and greed, over
look that quality of mercy we hear about.
Hero is a woman struggling. hard for an
existence, and on mere technicality her
furniture is taken from her, although the
note is not due for about three months
yet. In these technical cases men gain
possession of that to which, in equity,
they are not entitled. If the note had
been due the case would have been diff
ferent.
Let me say, however, that the note is
an iron clad, unconscionable document
which l cannot tolerate. The idea oil
charging 8 per cent, compound interest
1t is simply an outrage. 1t is all wrong
and contrary to q system of civilized gov.
eminent; il is inhuman and unjust and
the law should not tolerate it. The sooner
we have usury law the better it will be
for all concerned, except, possibly, the
money-lenders.
"I repeat that Finn was clearly tres
passer, and if / were Judge sitting on 6
claim for damages against him l should
award liberal amount. Finn took away
the property wrongfully, and the good:
must be returned to Mrs. Ferry at once
That is my order"
