States Circuit Court. in Philadelphia.
yesterday, trial was begun in the suit
of Samuel l.. Kent. of Clifton Heights,
against j. Edward Addicks. of Della
ware. to recover 100000 damages
growing out of alleged misrepresenta-
tions in the matter of a contract for

the rights relating to the manufacture
OF acetylene gas in the State of Massa-
chusetts under patents of the Electro

the United States Acetylene Liquida-
ton Company, of New York. He fur
thw alleges that Mr. Addicks, as

pany. represented to him that his COM
pany desired TO purchase the patent
rights for BrOokline and Boston, and
represented himself as being author
lied to effect a transaction.
According to Mr.. Kent's story, a
contract was entered into whereby he
was to receive 100000 in cash, to be
paid in instalments of 100000 each,
and S1.5OO 900 in Bay State Gas Com
pany stock. to be held in escrow for
six months and afterwards delivered
to his agents. It is charged that Mr.
Addicks failed to live up to the con-
tract and that on suit being brought
against the Bay State Gas Company, a
Judgment nOn-suit was entered on the
ground that Mr. Addicl1s had acted
without the authority of his company.
