SUES RYAN
FOR SHARE

Trenton, y. j., oct. Hilary G. Has
kins of New York instituted proceedings
in the Court of Chancery yesterday to
compel Thomas f. Ryan, vice president
OF the Morton Trust company. to share
with him the profits alleged to have been
derived by Ryan from promoting the
United Lead company.
Mr. Haskins charges that after agreeing
TO go into partnership with him i'm the
deal Mr.. Ryan dropped him after securing
information which he had spent years in
accommodating.
Mr. Haslins describes as enormous"
the profits made by Mr.. Ryan, but says
he has been unable to even approximate
the actual amount.
In outlining his original plan TO COM
pete with the National Lead company Mr.
Haskins says that I'm 1895 he began a
sytematic study Of the industrial condi-
tions concerning the output of pig iron
I'm the United States and the manufac-
ture Of white lead and other products.
As the result of these Investigations. Mr..
Haskins says, he conceived the plan of
uniting the outstanding lead interests and
enterprises that had not already become
a part or the NdtlOnal Iyedu company with
a possibility Of ultimately forming "A com
bination Herewith which should control
the total output OF lead and the products
OF the American Smelling and Refining
company, or of the interests which sub
sequently united with It,
He negotiated with IL companies for the
purchase OF their plants and secured OPP
tions upon n number of them.
In the spring of 1901. Mr.. Haskins says,
he had crystallzcd and formulated a com
plete plan for the combination of the
white lead interests of the country not
already In the National Lead company.
Although possessed of some means. Mr..
Haskins says he was not i'm "A position 10
finance his scheme alone, and TO secure
the necessary assistance he had a num-
ber OF conferences with Edward w. Nash.
then president of the American Smelling
and Refining company.
He secured from Daniel Guggenheimcr,
chairman OF the executive committee of
the Smelling company. a letter OF intro
duction 10 Mr., Ryan. To whom he broach-
eel his plan OF consolidation.
He claims that Mr. Ryan agreed TO en-
ter into a partnership on the plan. pro-
vided II received the approval OF his coun-
