Cartan Realty Company Continues
Suit Against Belt Railway.

Atlldavits to show why the case OF the L.
v. Cartan Realty Company of st. Louis VS..
the st. Louis Belt and Terminal Railroad
Company should be retired will be present.
ed TO Judge Davis of the Circuit Court at
Union, Moon April 6.
on March IS last the Cartan Realty Com
Npany obtained a verdict for $4,000 against
the Belt Company for damages caused by
the railroads having spoiled part of the
residence purposes.
The effidavits are to show principally
that the, realty company did not receive a
fair trial, and that county political infiu-
ence was brought to bear to bring about
the awarding of what the company consid-
ers paltry price.
Company, which later was merged into the
Belt and Terminal Company, cut through
the cartan property condemnation proceed
ings were Instituted in the ST. Louis
County Court. Judge McIlhenney appoint
ed a commission to appraise the property.
The damage at that time was fixed at s40,-
900.
The realty owners. as well as the rail-
road company appealed the case to the
Circuit Court. the former claiming that the
damage was fully $1,000 while the latter
hoped to compromise for less than $4,000
When the case was about to come up for
trial the realty proprietors complained that
a powerful political influence was work
TO rob them. They accordingly asked for q
change of venue to Union, No, and Were
surprised when the damages were cut down
from $4,000 to $4,000 BY the Union jury.
The affdavits We're taken in the offices of
Attorney A. r. Taylor for the Cartan Com
pany. Fred Essen. former Recorder of st.

stated that he held an interest in the Cen
trail Belt Railway Company at the time of
its organization. His interest amounted to
one-sixth, but he added that he was not q
stakeholder now.

Gojuro Nagesaki. president of the latter

business with merchants trading between
Japan and the United States

st. Louis and Japan will increase greatly
in the next few years. He believes the

commerce. Citizens of the Japanese En-
pire. he says. will visit st. Louis in large
numbers during the Fair. He will depart
