PRODUCE MEN
WIN AND LOSE
Judge Sloss Believes Com
bination Is Not in Viola
tion of Woodward Law
INJUNCTION is DENIED
Court Holds 1t Cannot Go
Into Evidence on Which
the Permits We're Revoked

Judge Sloss yesterday overruled the
demurrer of the Harbor Commissioners
to the complaint of four produce COM
mission firms whose permits had been
revoked by the board, but he dis
charged the order to show cause why
the board should not be enjoined from
interfering with the dealers business on
the wharves. The harbor officials get
ten days in which to answer the COM
plant.
The litigation arose over the action
of the Harbor Board in revoking the
permits of Schultz Hanson & Co., G. b.
Olcese Company, Jonas, Erlanger. Da-
Wis Company and Webster & Dunbar.
The firms were charged with violating
the Woodward act and rule of the
board providing that the dealers, on
demand, should sell potatoes in ten
sack lots and onions in f1ve-Sack lots
The dealers entered into an agreement
in writing to buy and sell in not less
than fifty-sack lots of potatoes and
twenty -five-s sack lots of onions.
Judge Sloss held that the agreement
between the dealers provided that
smaller lots might be sold at proper
tionately higher prices and therefore 1T
only fixed a minimum lot to which
not in violation of the Woodward law.
1t would be an unreasonable construc-
tion of the law, he said, to hold that it
imposes on dealers who hold permits
to trade on the wharves a duty to sell
at retail as low as they sell at whole
sale. On the face of the complaint, said
the court, the charge against the deal
ers did not constitute violation of the
terms of the permit and furnished no
justification for revocation of the per-
mits.
In dealing with the question of the
injunction, Judge Sloss found that
there were other considerations. The
affidavit of John Nj. Foy, secretary of
the board, set forth that the dealers
had been accused of entering into a
conspiracy and the accusation did not
refer to the agreement which the plain
tiffs offered in court, relating to lots
and prices. The accusation was only
that the dealers had agreed not to buy
from or sell to certain parties in less
than fifty and twenty-five sack lots
This charge was heard by the board
and determined adversely to the deal
ers and their permits were revoked. In
the absence of any claim that the board
had acted fraudulently, capriciously or
arbitrarily, the court would not con-
slider the evidence before the board on
that hearing. The permits were re-
voked on the charge that the Wood
ward act had been violated and there
was no ground for an injunction.

TWO MORE SUITS AGAINST
GET-RICH-QUICK CONCERNS
Hobson Charges Companies With
Fraud and Their Directors With
Misapplying the Funds.

H. F. Hobson and a number of hold
ers of get-rich-quick contracts yester-
day presented another package of liti-
cation to three concerns operating in
this city. The suits filed are like the
many others in which Hobson has
been the leading plaintiff, alleging
fraudulent business, misapplication OF
funds received and attempting to
transfer assets. In each case a re-
ceiver is asked for, an injunction to
prevent the removal of the books and
assets and the return of the money
paid by the contract purchasers.
One of the actions is against w. c.
Wilson, A. Marcus. c. w. Mottwiler
and the Pacific Coast Mercantile Com
pany and the Producers Mercantile
Company, which, it is said. was or
Ganized to take over the assets of the
first concern. 1t is charged that more
than 500 ''two-for-one' contracts have
been sold, upon which more than
$2o, 900 has been paid. and of this sum
1t is alleged the members of the COM
pany have appropriated to their own
use more than $4,000. The second
suit, by Hobson and c. L. Goessell,
holders Of assigned contracts, is
against the Metropolitan Mercantile
Company, Charles Leonhardt Jr.,
Charles S. Jacobs, Ray N. knight,
Charles p. Haag and Josephine Rosen-
thai. This concern Is said to have sold
more than 1000 contracts and re-
ceived $25,000, of which $4,000 has
been misapplied under the guise Of

VICTORY FOR BURLINGTON.
Has Gained Every Disputed Point in the
Controyersy with Corporations.

Burlington, Dec 9-The city has
gained every disputed point in the con
troyersy with the New England Tele.
phone & Telegraph company and the
Burlington Light & Power company, an
agreement being reached yesterday
whereby the city viii use the top gain
of the poles owned by the corporations
for the wires Of the municipal electric
light plant for commercial purposes as
well as for lights used BY the city
The agreement was signed and sealed
at the city clerks Office yesterday after
noon after a discussion that lasted
throughout the entired ay. The city
has not waived single right by the
agreement, although the representatives,
of the corporations fought hard to have
the city waive its charter right 10 the
use Of the top gains.
The corporations did not wish to ae-
knowledge the charter right Of the city
10 the use Of the top gains, not because
they were not willing 10 grant the use
of the gains in this particular instance,
but because of the effect it would have
upon other cities. The agreement
reached at Montpelier Tuesday practical
~ waived the charter right of the city
to use the gains. This was discovered
by Mayor Burke and at the conference
yesterday the committee on electric light
plant stood out against the agreement.
"a clause was finally inserted to the
effect that by signing the agreement the
city did not waive It's rights in the
least
BY tho agreement the city pays the
corporations 20 cents for every hitch
which IS made To the poles. This is
a reduction Of FIVE cents per hitch from
the price which was at first consid-
erred A rough estimate Of the mum
Der Of bitches 10 be made is two on
each Of 800 poles The contract Is for
10 years.
The work Of stringing the city wires
win be begun at once, as ii IS not nee
essary to wait for the completion Of
the power house in order to string the
wires. 1t is estimated that about so
miles Of wire will be used
The power house Il practically COM
pieted and Some Of the machinery has
already arrived. The rest will be
shipped as soon as it il completed.
The agreement reached yesterday re-
moves all cause for holding up the per-
mits to erect poles asked for BY the
corporations and at the next meeting
Of the board Of aldermen they viii prob
ably be granted,
