Minneapolis Concern.

st. Paul, Mimi, May 17.-United

day received a copy of the oral opin-
ion recently delivered by Judge Loch-
rem in the United States district court

Hathorn Mutual Commission Co.
against Postmaster Hale, of Mime
apolis, to restrain the postmaster from
preventing the delivery of mail ad-
dressed to the company and from re-
fusing to pay money orders drawn in
it's favor.
Judge Lochren dismissed the bill of
the plaintiffs on the ground that the
company was engaged in fraudulent
business. The company is classed by
the district attorneys Office as "get
rich quick" concern and one which is
doing a gigantic business over the
United States.
The men interested in the Hathorn
Commission Co. are Arthur q. Hathorn,
S. w. Devore, e. d. Ziesel and N. A.
Sprong, all of whom are under indict-
ment by the federal grand jury on
charges of using the mails to defraud.

even now Mr.. Haupt is of the opinion
that it is receiving mail through a

The company has previously had
fraud orders issued against 1t and has
always Teappeared under a new name
1t was once known as the Devore Dia-
mond Co., but fraud order stopped
its business and the Hathorn Mutual
Commission Co. was the result, the
new company, 1t is charged by federal
officials, operating under the plan Of
the old one.
The scheme of the company was to
issue certificates at $50, which the
company promised would eventually
be worth $3.50. The payments were to
be made SIS down and $1.25 per week
until the full $50 was paid. OF the
weekly payments So cents was to go

the company's own use and the pc
naming part of the $50 for the pur-
pose of carrying on the business. AS
often as there might be $160 in the re-
demption fund the lowest certificate
holder would draw that amount.
