An Order i'm the American Plnte-GIass
Company Case-A Big Discrep-
ancy-Other Court Cases.

J. E. Iglehart and a. I. Mason, attorneys
for De Paw University in its case against
the American Plate Glass Company. APP
peared before Judge McMaster yesterday
and asked that the university be allowed
to make an examination Of all books. pa
pers and correspondence Of the company
and all communications that ave passed
between it and the Penn Plate Glass Com
pany. In support of the affidavit w. III.
Hickman, chancellor of De PAW Univer-
sity, filed an affidavit alleging that George
c. Duy, an expert accountant in the en-
ploy of the university. was refused the
privilege of examining the books before
the 18th of March, which was the date set
by the court directing W. L. Kahn. presi-
dent Of the American Plate Glass Com
pany, and S. j. Mack. secretary, to produce
the books and submit to an examination by
the plaintiff.
II is charged that the American Com
pany owns practically all of the stock ex-
cept s21,O 900 held by De Paw University,
and that 1t sold glass to the Penn Plate
Glass Company, in which the officers of
the American Company are interested. at
a price far below the market value. 1t is
also contended that the glass could have
been disposed of at a much greater profit
in another market, and that the officers
have manipulated the output TO their own
personal profit.
Smiley N. Chambers, an attorney for the
mpany, was notified that the action was
brought, but refused to appear, saying the
courts former order covered the same
ground and that ii provided for an eXami-
nation of the books. The court granted
the order. but noted the absence Of the
attorney.

There is a contest between the Eastern
and Western roads over prorating arrange
ments via Chicago. All overtures of the
latter set of roads for a settlement of the
matter in dispute have been rejected by
the Eastern roads, and they refuse to con-
tinue the prorating arrangements under
any consideration. Were their decision to
be general no great contest would be made
over it. though IL would be regarded as a
backward step, altogether unworthy of the
progressive spirit of the times. The de-
cision is not general, however. II applies
only to Chicago and the territory imme-
diately tributary to IL. st. Louis, Peoria
