PETITION Of
COMPLAINANT
WAS DENIED

Judge Stearns after a further long hear
ing today on the application of the Wal
colt Manufacturing company for pre-
hminary injunction against William j.
Macomber denied the application. The
trouble Is over the manufacture of a
self-closing bracelet which the respondent
patented.
Mr.. Macomber was formerly in the en-
ploy of the Walcott Manufacturing COM
pany and was also secretary OF the COM
pany at one time. The concern manu-
factured collar buttons and other jewelry.
BY an agreement entered into between
some five parties. all interested in the
Walcott Manufacturing company Mr..
Macomber was 10 give the company the
benefit of all improvements and inven-
tions he might be able to make.
In March 1906 II was found that the
manufacture OF buttons had ceased to be
profitable. AS the Walcott Manufacturing
company understood the matter the rest
OF the agreement save that relating 10
the manufacture OF buttons remained.
During the arguments OF counsel In
court today IL was stated that the brace
let period in the trade was only about
two years old now and might not last
much longer.
Judge Stearns thought that both parties
had shown certain equitable rights In
the matter. That the burden of proof
was on the applicant for the temporary
Injunction and while he could not now
pass upon the merits OF the controversy
IL seemed as II Mr.. Macomber had some
equitable rights to make the bracelet un-
der the patent therefore the court would
not al present grant the Injunction pray
ed for by the Walcott Manufacturing
company
II was sought TO have Mr.. Macomber
restrained from conveying, mortgaging or
otherwise encumbering the letters patent.
Dexter B. Potter and Albert S. and
Arthur p. Johnson represented Mr.. Ma
comber.

NEW YORK FIRM,
THEbAUD Bros,
GO TO THE WALL

New York. July 1s.-Conservative busl-
ness interests received a shock yesterday
when the assignment of Thebaud Bros.

The firm. which was established l3l
years ago and is the oldest in the city
and famous throughout the country, was
forced TO the wall through the failure
OF it's largest Mexican CORES spondent. Al
though unaware OF the full extent of their
loss, Thebaud Bros. thought II best 10 as
sign for the benefit OF creditors.
Liabilities are roughly placed at S0O,-
600. while the assets are estimated at over
81 10000 The firm expects to pay all OBJ
legations i'm full and resume business
within few months. Unless creditors
are dissatisfied with arrangements. which
is thought unlikely. bankruptcy proceed
inl,i will not be necessary.
The private fortune of the Thebaud FAM
lily Is not affected. Paul Gilbert Thebdud,
principal member OF the firm, and his
wife are prominent In society. He is an
expert whip and a well-known club man.
The failure came as a surprise to the
financial district. not having reen pre-
ceded by the slightest rumor OF trouble.
In fact Thebaud Bros. themselves were
as much surprised as any one at the
quickly moving events which MADE the
suspension advisable.
