MUST VACATE AFTER
A TENANCY OF YEARS
ATTORNEY SPLIVALO DEFEAT
ED IN A LEGAL BATTLE.
He Wrote Letter to the Management
of the Montgomery Block Pro-
testing, but 1t Did No
Good.

Two men, their silver hair telling OF
their scores of years of life, and a gray
haired lawyer, the defendant in an evic-
ton suit, called old times TO mind in
Judge Hunts court yesterday. A quar-
ter of century ago August d. Splivalo
took rooms in the Montgomery block. but
lately he has not paid his rent and b.
Ratio, director of the Montgomery
Block Real Estate Associates, whose hair
has whitened beneath the roof OF this
once splendid building sued him 10 re-
cover possession and four months rent.
The suit was tried yesterday. and after
a vain fight Splivalo consented that judg-
ment be entered against him, and said
he would Vacate December l.
The case of the plaintiff was laid before
the court in the face Of a volley OF OBJ
jections, and among the exhibits was a
letter written by Splivalo, n little tan
gled, but still making plain the fact that
he objected 10 his treatment at the hands
of the block managers. The letter reads:
/ am surprised at your demand OF two
months rent for August and September You
know that during this time the tinkering and
noise and blocking of stairs and halls and in
vasion OF these two rooms have rendered you
liable for damages 70 me. You not acting
in good faith fairly by me. / have been
your tenant for many years and all you have
expended on the rooms occupied by me during
that time is about 81 10 replace a bad lock OF
yours burst by burglar at my cost OF $40 for
an overcoat stolen, and without water gas.
Notwithstanding these facts as set
forth in the letter, the law was against
the aged lawyer. and after a quarter of a
century OF ceaseless rent paying he must
vacate to another with more ready

COAL IMPORTERS FILE
A VIGOROUS PROTEST
UNWILLING TO PAY DUTY ON
CARGOES.
Appeal to the Circuit Court to Re
verse the Decision of the Board
of General Appraisers.

The leading coal importers and their
representatives. in this State have ap-
pealed 10 the United States Circuit Court
In this city against the decision of the
United States Board OF General Spprais-
ers upholding the assessment OF certain
cargoes Of coal by Port Collector Jack
son. There are nine petitions IN the mat
ter filed by the following named: II. b.
Thomas, Z. c. Evans. Mayer. Wilson &
Co, Williams. Dimond * Co., Balfour.
Guthrie & Co., Charles Z. Coles, c. D.
Bunker * Co. John II. Boden S Co., and
Girvin & Eyre.
The petitions recite that Collector Jack
son classified the coal imported by them
as coal containing less than 92 per cent
Of fixed carbon under the act Of Con-
gress Of July y. 1897. and assessed the
duty at 62 cents per ton. On February Z.
1885 the importers protested on the ground
that under the act OF July q. 1897. II was
anthracite coal, as so known CONNER
cially. being invoiced. manifested. bought.
sold and trafflcked In only as anthracite
coal, and entitled TO free entry as spe-
cially provided for by name under para
graph 523 OF said act as anthracite coal,
and this class OF coal is not specially pro-
vided for by name elsewhere in said act
The protestants claim that an error Of
law was committed by the Board OF Cen
eral Appraisers in deciding that said coal
should have been classified as anthracite
not specially provided for in said act.

under the law selling horseflesh was an
offense. but the Judge promptly expressed
the opinion that in his mind there was
no question OF the Offering for sale Of
horseflash as beef being an offense. and
that was what the defendants had appa-
rently done.
a discussion was in progress as TO what
disposition 10 make of the cases when

remarking that he would plead guilty;

and testified as to making the arrest.
