Hotel Mitchell Imbroglio
Strengthened Out
JUDGE VAN DYKES OPINION
MISREPRESENTATION HELD TO
HAVE BEEN MADE
Curious Method Of the Defendants
to Show the Business Was PROFIT
able-Plaintiffs Sustained

The Hotel Mitchell at Pasadena Will
again change hands. and revert to N.
H. Mitchell and wife.
1t is only few weeks ago that the suit
in which William MacNaughton ct al.
sought to compel the Mitchells to rescind
the contract Of purchase. and now Judge
Van Dyke has decided that the plaintiff
is entitled to the relief asked.
The transaction was one of an ex-
change of properties, the plaintiffs. MIC
Naughton and Watson. exchanging their
several properties with the defendants
Mitchell for the furniture in the Hotel
Mitchell. In connection with the sale
and transfer of the hotel furniture de-
PENDANTS leased to the plaintiffs the ho-
tel for a term of years, at $125 per month.
The plaintiffs, however, averred that
the defendants made representations to
them in reference to the business Of the
hotel, and. that, relying upon those rep
resentations they entered into the agree
ment for the exchange of properties. and
that those representations were false,
and known to be so by the defendants
at the time; also that, between the time
Of entering into the agreement and ex-
change and the taking possession Of the
hotel, the defendants fraudulently and
surreptitiously removed from the hotel
some of the articles of furniture includ-
ed in the sale.
1T is apparent" says Judge Van
Dyke, from the testimony and the cir
cumstances surrounding the transaction
that the principal consideration which
induced the plaintiffs to enter into the
arrangement was the expectation and
belief that the hotel was profitable, or,
at least, afforded paying business.
The testimony in reference to what rep
resentations were made by the defend
ants to the plaintiffs is conflicting; but
there are four witnesses in favor Of the
plaintiffs, as against two for the de-
PENDANTS. Besides. the probabilities are
greatly in favor of the testimony Of the
plaintiffs. If the statement of the
amount of business had been as claimed
by the defendants, after deducting the
running expenses. including the rent to
be paid, no profit whatever would re-
main; on the contrary, an annual loss.
On the other hand, if the business of the
hotel amounted to what was stated by
the defendants, as claimed by the tes-
timony on behalf of the plaintiffs, quite
margin over expenses and rent would
be realized; so that the business. instead
of being losing business, would be Of
some profit.
But 1t is maintained on behalf Of the
defendants that the plaintiffs shouls
have informed themselves, and not have
Janar1nd ho 10 ne
the defendants. This is a case, how
ever, where that rule in it's strictness
does not apply. 1t applies where the
parties have equal facilities and oppor-
tunities for arriving at the facts of the
case, independent Of representations.
1t is in evidence that the defendants did
not keep any books Of account. They
only had memorandum Of receipts for
few months long time prior to the
date Of the exchange, and the hotel reg

Second Assistant Postmaster General
Shallenbcrger proposes to have an impor-
tant improvement in the mail service for
the suburbs of this city on the first Of the
next fiscal year. On that date street rail-
way postal car service will lie put IN opera
tion on both lines of the Metropoli: an Rail-
way Company. and important Improvements
in the methods Of collecting mails on both
those lines and the Pennsylvania avenue
line of the Capital Traction Company will
be made. Mr.. Shallennerger can operate
cnly in connection with the postmaster of
this city, but 1t is believed that nothing will
occur TO prevent a reorg aniZatioE of the
system of collecting the mail along me lines
of the Metropolitan and Pennsylvania ave
nue. line of the Capital Traction Company.
which will allow the establishment Of mail
boxes at convenient points, into which let
ter carriers will drop their collections IN
stead Of carrying them back to the city
post office, as is now the case.
Collections will be made from these boxes
by the mail cars attached to regular trains,
as Is now the case on the avenue line, and
this mail will be assorted on the way and
delivered directly either to a subs "a tion
the main Office or to either of the railway
stations. By this system 1t Is believed there
Will be large Increase In the local buS-
ness of the Post Office Department.
Mr.. Shallelberger believes that when It is
once well understood that a very quick
delivery service Is being operated that
many persons will use the malls instead of
messengers to send m essages, and as the
department receives just as much for a let
ter sent distance of a mile as it does for
one transported across the continent this
local service Is regarded as the real money
making feature of the department, and Mr..
Shallenberger believes that the increase in
receipts will be such as to warrant Congress
IN making larger appropriations for this
class of service, which he will advocate in
his next annual report. Last year Congress
appropriated $4,000 and this year $225, 900
was allowed for the extension of the street
railway mail service in large cities.
This service Is gradually being introduced
and developed in all the large cities of the
country, and 1t is the purpose of the depart
ment to 1naugurate a system in this city,
which, as far possible, shall be d model.
showing what such a system can accom-
plish, and will work as AZ object lesson for
the instruction of members of Congress
Just as soon as it can be demonstrated that
properly organized street railway mail
service can be operated, SO as to increase
not only the receipts Of the government,
but to lessen the expenditure in the collec.
lion OF mail matter, it Is believed that there
Will be no difficulty in securing appropria-
tions which will allow an extension of the
same system on all suburban electric rail-
ways which traverse through j sufficiently
well-populated section as to warrant the
service. -
