Schumacher and Harry j. s. Brown were
partners in some enterprises at Fairview
Park, for which they had privileges from
the street-railroad company. They had
lunch and refreshment stands which proved
losing ventures. Brown sold out the stock
on hand at the end of the season, and
Schumacher claims did not make a settle

The Supreme Court yesterday overruled
the motion for a rehearing of the park case,

after careful study, that the decision has
in no wise affected the validity of the park
