enormous profits, which, as estimated
in the bill, will be $40,OO0,OOO this

about to assume the management, and
this, he thinks, will eventually result
In great financial loss. He states that
he was forced out of the company by
personal malice on the part Of Mr.. Car

Forty partners are named In the bill,
