PROMOTER WANTS MILLION
II. HOADLEY DENIES PLAINTIFF
HELPED TO FORM LOCOMO-
TIVE TRUST.

John r Plummer has brought suit for $1,000
900 against the International Power Company.
and Joseph II. Hoadley, its president The In
ternatIonal Power Company, which is a New
Jersey corporation, has offices in this city at No.
- Broadway Justice Fitzgerald, in the Su-
preme Court yesterday, issued attachment
against the property or the company, on the
application of Dos Passos Brothers. Of No. 20
Broad-st.. attorneys for the plaintiff
It is alleged by Mr.. Plummer that in March,
1901. he asked the president and the board Of
directors of the international Power Company
to assist him in purchasing the Rogers Locomo-
tive Works, Of Paterson. y. J. At that time the
International Power Company was endeavoring
10 buy several locomotive works throughout the
country
When the international Power Company was
seeking TO get the Rogers Locomotive Works
the latter was in the hands of a receiver Soon
afterward, il is asserted by MI Plummer, Mr..
Hoadley told him that the International COM
pany had secured nearly all the options il de
sired on various locomotive works. II is alleged
10y the plaintiff that he then asked to oh
tain some tinancer who would back the Inter
national company.
Nj Plummer says that he persuaded George
r Sheldon, Of w c. Sheldon & Co, to help it,
and that he managed to raise S60goO0o. With
this financial aid the American Locomotive
Company was formed on June 20, IDOL with d
capital stock of S25.Nn00.
The plaintiff alleges that Mr.. Hoadley several
times told him that the International Power
Company had cleared $IeoOooo on the deal
He also says that he told that his share
would be at least 81 100000. He declares that
he has not received one cent for his services.
The reason for the attachment being granted
is that the International Power Company is
foreign corporation.
Joseph H. Hoadey said yesterday TO a Trib-
une reporter:
In the suit Of John F. Plummer against the
International Power Company and myself, which
has been so widely advertised by Mr. PlumneT
and in which he pTetends to have q claim of
81 100000 for commissions on account of the
organization of the American Locomotive Com
pany. I wish TO state that there is not one al
legation in his complaint that is truthful II is
a parcel Of falsehoOGs from beginning 10 end,
as also were his many representations 10 me re-
garding his statement in reference to Jacob ;.
Rogers, and his connection with the Rogers
Locomotive Works, which / intended at the
time 10 purchase. with other property owned by
the International Power Company. This suit, if
not decided attempt al blackmail, is difficult
10 characterize.
The International Power Company never had
any connection whatever with Plummer. and no
official Of the company ever authorized TO
>enter into any negotiations of any character
with him, nor did any one do So

The Mr. Barker had to assign said
Mr.. Browne yesterday, was the exorbitant prices
charged for coal, and the high prices which have
been ruling in the cereal market upon which he
depended for much of the material used in his
business. Besides this the trusts, which competed
