SUIT AGAINST
FRUIT COMBINE
Wholesalers Say the Retail
Organization Seeks to
Destroy Their Business
ASK HEAVY DAMAGES
Levy Bros. Aver That Small
Dealers Are Boycotting
Them, but Denial Is Made

A charge of conspiracy was lodged
yesterday against the Retail Fruit
Dealers of San Francisco by Adolph
Levy and Jacob Levy, who sue for
damages in the sum of $26,100 for an
alleged attempt by the organization to
destroy the plaintiffs business as
wholesale dealers in fruit, berries and
produce. Twenty-three members and
numerous Does" are named as de-
fendants.
The Levys declare that the associa-
tion was organized for the mutual pro-
lection of its members, and it includes
practically all of the retail dealers in
that line in the city. The defendants,
it Is said. for the purpose of controlling
the retail trade and securing the hotel
and restaurant trade and preventing
competition therein, have conspired to
injure the plaintiffs business. They
have notified all the customers who
have been dealing with the plaintiffs
to discontinue their trade, and have
notified the other wholesalers not to
sell such customers any produce under
threat of boycott. Because of this in
timidation, 1t is alleged, several GUS
toners have ceased to deal with the
Levys, and they have a large quantity
Of fruit and berries on hand which
have become worthless. In this they
are damaged in the sum Of s100, and
the business has suffered $1,000 dam
age, to which $25,00O is added.
Members of the association seen yes
terday declare that the Levys cannot
prove their allegations and that there
is no boycott nor any fine imposed upon
the members who deal with the con-
Germ. In support of their position the
retailers charge that the Levy firm has
been selling fruit and produce to the
restaurants and other customers as
cheaply and cheaper than to the re-
tailers. AS a matter of self-protection,
they say, this must be combated.
1t was intimated by one of the re-
tailers interviewed that the suit is
backed by other wholesalers, who are
said to have had wind of the intention
of the retailers to establish a cooper
ative wholesale establishment, where
all can buy on favorable terms.

THE THOhAsTON FIRE.
An investigation Will be Made by the
 Authorities.

Thomaston, May 2.-An investiga- ton will be made as to the cause of a fire which damaged the Garfield block on Hast Main street last night The block is two story frame struc- ture with stores on the ground floor and photograph studio on the upper floor. The fire was confined to the upper story, but the lower part was also damaged by water and smoke When the firemen entered the build ing they found rags and paper burn ing, and other evidences tending to support a suspicion that the fire was of incendiary origin. The block has been on fire three times, and each time there have been suspicious of 1n- cendiarlsm. The loss is estimated at $1,00O, though as MT Hanna, the owner of the studio. is absent from town, the damage to his property could not be determined accurately. It is thought, however. that the insur- ance will cover the loss.
