Addicks Settles SIS, 900 Suit.

The suit instituted by the receiver OF
the Bay State Gas Company, Whar'
ton Pepper, has been amicably settled
between him and J. Edward Addicks,
and the suits all withdrawn from the
United States Court. The settlement
was effected last week, and the details
made public this last Monday. The
facts are That Mr.. Addicks had re-
ceived $75, 600, 900 worth Of stock in the
Bay State Gas Company, and the Re-
ceiver claimed that the stock was issued
Illegally. This caused the stock to be-
come almost worthless on the market,
and the suit was instituted to establish
the validity of the stock. The decision
of Judge Archibald, in Philadelphia
was that the parties had a perfect right
to settle the case out Of court, and this
was done. According to the terms OF
settlement, Mr.. Addicks and the direc-
tors return to Receiver Pepper l,O2l,
25O shares of the ], 800, 600 shares alleged
to have been issued unlawfully, and in
lieu Of the remaining 47S,7 shares il
is agreed that AIr. Addicks and the
other defendants shall pay to Receiver
Pepper S4s, ,254.52, the amount realized
by Mr.. Addicks from the sale Of that
stock in the open market.
Payment is to be made in sixty days
and is secured by bond. After hear
ing the terms of settlement, Judge
Archibald authorized Receiver Pepper
to discontinue the case when the terms
of settlement are complied with.

Grover g. Parvis and Jay Pierce, who
are now attending Dickinson College,
have this to say in regard to the c. w.
Parker Concert Company, which opens
the Ushers' Union entertainment
course in Armory Hall, Friday night,
December 18th:
1T was our pleasure to attend the entertain
ment given by the Parker Concert Co, last
wednesday evening, here in Carlisle. Miss
Harris, the soprano soloist, rendered several
solos OF the highest character, and was en-
cored again and again. Miss Hamilton IS a
violinfst of exceptional talent Her playing
was one of the features OF an altogether de
ligbtful program. Too much can not be said
in this company's favor. The Opera House
with a seating capacity of 1900, was crowded
from pit to dome.
You are fortunate In having the Parker
Concert Company in your Course, and for the
UNIONS sake, we sincerely trust that the peo
ple Of Milford will pack Armory Hall"
