Suit by the State of Alabama to re- cover $2Q,eO0 from the Diamond Match Company of New York, commonly known as the match trust. was filed yesterday in the City Court of Mont gomery and 1t was predicted by law yers that this was but the opening wedge for legal crusade in this State against trusts which are violating the laws.
 It is alleged by the State that the Diamond Match Company, in which the Goulds are interested, has failed to comply with the corporation laws of Alabama before transacting business in this State. It Is said that before the continuation of the litigation the match trust may be prosecuted in the United States courts for violation of the Fed eral statutes.
 The suits filed yesterday are styled the State of Alabama, through Massey Dent, Jr., Solicitor for Montgomery County, against the Diamond Match Company of New, York.
 Allegations of the State.
 The bill sets forth that the Indiana Match Company, an independent con cern, of Charlottesville. Ind, in Feb ruary, 1905, sold a large quantity. of the Diamond Match Company. about March 10th, sent number of agents to Montgomery and purchased from the Montgomery jobbers al! of the matches sold to them by the independ- ent company, designated all of the local jobbers as its agents to sell ex- clusively the matches manufactured by the Diamond Company. ana shipped large quantity of its matches here to the jobbers. Then, the bill alleges, n part of the matches originally sold by the Indiana company were taken, and, bers, were placed in cold storage and were later resold by the Diamond Com pany's agents as the goods of the In diana company.
 the attention of Attorney General Will son by the Indiana Match Company, and MT. Wilson took immediate action. pae paeys goods about ne 5s7 cases of matches, was attached by the State as the property of the Diamond Match Company. amounting in value to about $2,5O0. Sheriff Waller, by virtue of the States attachment, appointed an agent to have charge of the goods. which are now stored in the Crommelin building at 137 Lee Street.
 The State in its oill of complaint al- leges that agents of the Diamond Match Company while in Montgomery called Sn local retail dealers in matches and stated to them that the Diamond Company had purchased the plant of the Indiana company and that 1t would be closed. This, the State alleges, is untrue.
 Those Named as Agents. It is shown by the bill that the Montgomery jobbers who were appoint are: W. M. Hudson & Co. H. M. Aus tin & Co.,, W. B. Jones & Ray. Greil Brothers Co.,, Schloss & Kahn. Winter. Loeb & Co, W. F. Vandiver & Co.. the J. Loeb Grocery Co.,. and S. Loeb & Co.
 The statutes of Alabama require for eign corporations to file their charters in the office of the Secretary of State designating their State agents. For each act of business performed in the State before this charter is filed a pen alty of $1,0O0 is provided. The suit against the match trust is filed under this statute which it is claimed has been violated.
 The hearing of the case will take place at the June term of the City Court before Judge A. D. Sayre.
