Balls DECLARES KEACH AND
5, R. HOLT MISUSED FUNDS
Sensational Complaint is Filed,
Asking Receiver Be Named for
Holt Ice and Cold Storage Co.
CHARGES
INSOLVENCY
Holt Makes Statement that Suit Is
Nothing but Blackmail-Fight
to the End.

Henry C. G. Balls. one of the stockholders
filed a voluminous complaint of fifteen
paragraphs against the company yester-
day in which he asks for a dissolution Of
the corporation and that receiver be APP
pointed. He declares that the corporation
is insolvent, which brought about by
the mismanagement and misconduct of
Sterling r. Holt, James l.. Reach. John r.
Wilson, NJ. A. Downing and their asso-
GATES
Among the charges enumerated by Balls
against these men is that they control over
1000 shares of the 1,4s1 of the corporate
and elect such directors and officers as
they see fit and conduct the business TO
suit themselves without regard to the other
stockholders.
Balls further charges that upon the or
ganization Of the corporation Holt and
Reach and their associates built and erect
ed a plant without entering into any con-
tract at an excessive cost Balls said they
either kept no account of the cost of the
plant or failed to place the items or cost
upon the books Of the corporation, so that 1t
was impossible to ascertain whether the
money of the corporation was honestly ex-
pended not.
Balls declares that these men have al
lowed the machinery TO become greatly de-
Perforated, though they spent, or pretended
to spend, large sums of money in repair
ing it.
1t is further declared by Balls that Holt
and Reach and their associates have bor-
rowed, without right, large sums of money
on the credit of the company and then
loaned it without security, SO that should
they be called upon to pay the amount bor-
rowed they could not do 1t. Other charges
Of the misuse of the funds of the corpora
ton are also made.
Sterling r. Holt. president of the Holt
Ice and Cold Storage Company, in speak
ing of the suit said last night: I'VE have
been expecting the suit for over month.
The suit Is nothing but an attempted hold
up on the part of Balls. He wanted to
sell his stock in the company and tried to
get us to buy 1t, which we refused to do
because we didn't want IL. Two or three
weeks ago William Bosom, attorney for
Balls, began writing letters about the
matter and we laid them before our board
of directors. After a consultation we de-
cided to fight the suit as soon as IL was
filed and we intend to fight IL. The Holt
Ice and Cold Storage Company is solvent,
as we will be able to show. This suit is
merely a result of an attempt at black
mail"

FINES FROM ICE-AND-SNOW LA w
WOULD FILL THE CITY'S COFFERSI
Ordinance Proaes Punishment for VatOr5Futhe InUestga-
hou Shoes Far Worse CouaitiOns Than at First

Introduced into Council, discussed. passed,
signed by the mayor and then forgotten
this seems to have been the history of
General Ordinance No. 20, 1885, which. if it
had been enforced, would have made the
sidewalks of Indianapolis safe for pedes-
TRANS instead of a menace to the lives and
limbs OF everyone who walks on them, as
they are to-day. This is the anti-snow-
and-ice ordinance, concerning which the
ideas of laymen and officials alike are as
hazy as the need of the ordinances en-
forcement is great, and which seems never
to have occupied a moments time in the
mind of a single city official since the day
when ct. Taggart" signed his name to it
and made ii a law.
General Ordinance No. 70, 1898. was intro
duced into the Common Council by Coun-
Gilman Smith, was passed by the Council
Jan 16 1895 and was approved and signed
by Mayor Taggart Jan 80. 1898. Its terms
and provisions follows:
IAN ordinance requiring the owners and
occupants of premises situated within the
city of Indianapolis TO keep the sidewalks
in front of or adjacent to the same free
from snow and ice, prescribing hours for
cleaning such sidewalks, providing penal
ties for the violation thereof, and fixing the
time when the same shall take effect.
Section l. Be it ordained by the Com
mon Council or the city or Indianapolis,
Ind: That the occupants of occupied
premises and the owners of unOccupied
premises situate in the city of Indianapolis
be and the same are hereby required 10
keep the sidewalks in front of or adjacent
10 the premises so occupied by such occu-
pants or in front of or adjacent to the un-
occupied premises so owned by such own
ers free from snow and ice, as hereinafter
provided. The word occupant as herein
used shall be deemed to mean the person,
firm or corporation occupying for business,
residence or other purposes the first floor
of any building situated on the premises so
occupied. and if the first floor Of any such
building is not occupied, then such prem
Uses shall be deemed and held TO be unOc-
cupied. and the owner thereof shall be re-
quired to keep the sidewalks in front of or
adjacent 10 such premises free from snow
and ice. Provided. that in case any snow
or ice accumulated on any such sidewalk
shall have fallen or accumulated in the
night time. and the same shall have been
removed by the occupant or owner as
aforesaid before o'clock on the morning of
the following day. or If any such snow or
ice shall have fallen or accumulated on
any such sidewalk in the daytime and shall
have been removed by such occupant or

MAKES STATEMENT
OF LABOR TROUBLE
Position of the Hardwood Floor
LAYERS and Finishers Outlined
by Secretary.

James l.. McQueary, secretarytreasurer
of the hardwood floor layers and finishers.
makes the following statement concerning
the present status of labor troubles:
I'm April of 1901 we applied for char
ter as hardwood fioorlayers and finish
ers, and after five or six weeks corre-
spondence and consultations between the
American Federation OF Labor and the
carpenters and painters as to whether they
considered our being chartered an infringe
ment upon any Of their organizations, and
they both agreeing that it would not be,
we were granted a charter. Then, in less
than year. the carpenters began to claim
we were doing their work. and they then
began trying to do ours which they have
never satisfactorily accomplished.
Il have worked in some twelve or fifteen
States since our craft was organized, and
have never had any controversy with the
carpenters outside of Indianapolis. l wish
to say, also, In regard to the statement
made by Mr.. Duffy as to our joining the
carpenters and joiners, after he has been
so instrumental in having our charter re-
voked, that we are not carpenters and do
not purpose to perjure ourselves by taking
an oath that we are competent MECHANICS
as carpenters and joiners TO apply to the
building contractors of this and other cities
for positions such.
THE fioorlayers are getting better scale
of wages than the carpenters, all of them
are at work and everything is harmonious
For the benefit of organized labor and in
justice to ourselves, l wish 10 state that
l have word from the American FEEDER
alton of Labor that the revocation of our
charter will be thoroughly investigated by
the executive council at its next regular
meeting. TO be held in Denver, Col, next
April, when il is TO be hoped this matter
may be settled not by our organization, but
by all concerned"

any of the provisions of Section one % OF
this ordinance shall upon conviction be
fined in any sum not less than one nor
more than ten dollars, and each day that
any such snow or ice shall be allowed to
remain upon any sidewalk in violation of

deemed a separate violation thereof.

IL would be entirely unnecessary for City
Controller Dunn to feel any further anxiety
as to the city's financial condition. The
ordinance seems UP to date to have
been regarded as a bit OF polite humor or
gentle sarcasm. 1t has never been taken
seriously and it's enforcement has never
been thought of.
Another tour of inspection" made by a
Journal reporter yesterday afternoon re-
vealed the fact that action might safely be
brought against the State OF Indiana for
violation or the anti-snow-and-ice ordi-
nance, among the first actions that prose-
cutor might institute On all four sides Of
the Statehouse the sidewalks are almost
impossible because of several inches OF
rough ice that coats them with only an
occasional oasis of clean cement walk
showing through. On the west. north and
part of the east sides OF the Capitol snow is
drifted TO the depth OF over a foot, like
miniature mountain range with innumer-
able tiny peaks pointing skyward, and this
drift is either in the center of the walk or
so near the wall of the lawn that IL is
difficult for pedestrians to walk in the
space that is left. Most people are wise
and travel the other side OF the streets
where private property owners have for
at least a part of the way, cleared their
walks OF ice and snow.

square are clean, except a part of the
east and the north sides. Here the walks
are coated completely over with Ice. About

Complaints made to the Journal involve

one man, when the streets have been in
worse condition than they are now, or will
be the minute a thaw comes. The street
department cannot make complaint of a
lack Of funds, for il is now operating I'M
der the 1894 appropriation. which provides
amply for all its necessities. And still we
have dirty sloppy streets.
Mayor Hoffman stated yesterday after
noon that he would inform the Board of
Public Safety at its meeting tomorrow of
his wish that the anti-snow-and-ice orGin-
ance shall be enforced.
