INTERNATIONAL PAPER co.
SEEKS AN INJUNCTION

Portland, Me, Sept. 22.-The Interna-

in equity in the United States circuit
court here against the Bodwell Water
Power company OF Oldtown. asking the
court TO restrain the latter company from
erecting and maintaining dams on the

posed dams would interfere with and
lessen the flow OF water in the river
thereby reducing the volume OF water
necessary for the operation OF its paper
mills.
Concealed in the case are said TO be
many points OF law. which promise to
make II an important and highly interest
ing legal battle, perhaps as much so as
the famous Presumpic river case. which
was in litigation for Is years. Judge
Putnam has arranged for a preliminary
hearing on the case tomorrow.
