STAMP co.
BATTLING

Following close upon the heels OF It's
recent case against the Mechanics Cloth
ing company, the sperry and Hutchinson
company yesterday nled in the office of
the clerk OF the United States court a bill
In equity. with attendant affidavits in
which several local firms and individuals
are defendants.
The case presented by Sperry and
Hutchinson is practically identical with
those formerly presented against other
individuals and concerns. II charges that
the defendant corporations and in
dividuals purchase green" trading
stamps from brokers" and from promis
cuous sources and give the stamps thus
bought 10 their customers under condi-
tions detrimental and very injurious TO
the business and integrity OF the COM
plainant corporation.
The several airings given them OF late
in the hearings on cases similar 10 this
present one have freely acquainted the
public with the questionable traffic In the
green stamps. In the instance OF each
present defendant corporation and in
dividual ungummed stamps were delivered
10 customers, free advertisement was
made OF the fact that green" trading
stamps were 70 be had as supplements 10
all purchases and the Sperry and Hutch
inson stamps were given with the under
standing that they were redeems sle for
premiums az the exchange depot ~ the
trading stamp corporation
The complainant concern alleges that
these operations were conducted without
the existence of proper contracts between
IL and the defendant corporations and in
dividuals. and ask that the court restrain
the defendants from further traffic in the
stamps OF the complainant concern. TIL
linghast and Murdock are counsel for the
trading stamp corporation.

PROVISIONS
OF WILL
CONSTRUED

Chief Justice Tillinghast today handed
down the opinion OF the appellate d.
vision OF the. supreme court as to the
construction Of certain clauses in the
last will and testament OF William A.
Fiske. The testator left his wife all his
property for her life and provided she
might use so much OF the same as she
saw AZ. At the death OF his wife he
provided one half should 60 as his wife
by will or codicil should appoint And
in default Of appointment such half went
TO her heirs-at law
The other half was TO 20 TO his
brothers. Albert L. F1ske and Edward w.
Fiske.
Mrs. Susan W. Fiske, wife OF the tes
tator. died good while before he did,
but the will remained unchanged. Mrs.
Fiske made no will and left as heirs-at-
law Helen r. Beaton. Hannah q. Love,
Harriet Waterman and Sarah p. An
6rews
The court holds that allowing Mrs
Fiske TO use as much OF the estate as she
might see fit did not give her an abso-
tNeO oSNe'NS, sif"h hVi iiSHAo tiN wiz
lapsed by her death before the testator
and that under the language Of the will
one-half OF the estate OF testator went 10
Mrs. Fiske's heirs-at-law her sisters and
the other half vested in the two brothers
OF testator.
The chief justice says II is plain that
where there is a gift over and a default
In appointment the object named in the
gift over. will take. The contention OF
counsel for the administrator that the es-
tates OF Mrs. Fiske's sisters lapsed when
she died before the testator Is overruled.
