MARcoNI LITIGATION.
Company Wins Point in Action for =
Receiver.

i i f
New York, July 15.Justice Scott in
the supreme court to-day granted an
order, for which application was made
by the Marconi Wireless Telegraph
Company of America, compelling Law
yer Franklin Bien, the attorney for
Henry Gardner, who has instituted an
action for an accounting and the ap-
pointment of a receiver for the Mar
conf company, to show cause on July 10
why he should not furnish the defend
ant with the full name and address Of
| his client A stay OF all proceedings on
| the part of the plaintiff until the deter
mfnation Of this motion was also
granted.
Af1davits accompanying the applica-
| tfon for the order state that no such
person as Henry Gardner can be found,
that there is no stockholders Of record
of that name, that a search Of the New
York directory reveals but two Henry
Gardners, one of whom Is a peddler and
the other policeman. and that both
Iof these men deny that they ever au-
ttforized the institution Of any suit
against the Marcont company or its di-
rectors
4 Gardner's complaint charged the di-
rectors with wastefulness and extraya-
gance Of many kinds, and claimed that
unless a receiver were appointed he and
other stockholders would be irreparably
/ injured, as the continuance of the pres
ent system Of management would rem
der the company insolvent.
Secretary Bottomley, Of the Marconi
company, has given out a statement,
authorize dby tn edirectors, denying the
charges and declaring that they were
made without information regarding the
affairs Of the company and for the pur-
pose of injuring it.
