Mehesy's Fur Opening

Mehesy's Fur Opening eclipsed, as a
business and social event, anything of
the kind ever attempted heretofore.

with models of furs, the best the mar
kets of the old and the new world af-
fords, greet the eye temptingly on all
sides. and the fur cOnnoisseurs find the
rarest and costliest fur gems from the
foremost Partisan furrieTs, as well as
the remodified styles of New York and
their own work rooms, showing styles
with an individuality, chic, and a
snap 20 them very seldom found else
where.
A special feature of Mr.. Mehesy's
store is custom work, making up gar
ments of skins of customers own Sc
lection
The large display of sable, mink, er-
mine, and especially sealskins in view
of the small supply known to be avail
able since the Alaska sealing laws We're
enforced. is surprisingly large, and its
early purchase by Mr.. Mehesy, securing
them prior to the sharp advance in
price, initiated by the London sales last
June, promises a neat saving to Salt
Lake customers, wisely anticipating
their early winter needs.
The public reception days for this
opening are continued this morning and
tomorrow. Mr.. Mehesy, who recently
returned from his extensive purchasing
tour, will be personally in attendance
to greet new as well as old friends, be-

POLITICAL NOTES.

The American" party made consider
able fuss two years ago about the en-
ployment of japanese labor in the con-
struction of the Big Cottonwood con-
duit Neither the party leaders nor the
party newspapers are saying anything
about the horde of Japs employed by
Contractor Pat Moran on the South Tenn
pie street paving. Some strong union
men are saying that if it was wrong to
employ Japs two years ago it is wrong
now, and they want to know if the re-
peated professions that the American"
party is the great friend of union labor
are only hollow pretense, after all.

STARTS ROW IN
DAVIS BUILDING
Dorneden Butts in
Between a Collection
Agent and Client.

Hanse P. Nieman. grocer with a
place OF business on Avenue NJ near
One Hundred and Fourth street. pro-
tested so vehemently last night against
paying a commission to the South Chi
cago agency on a claim that he had
collected himself after placing it with
an agency for collection, that Manager ].
Curtin was Obliged to order him from
the Office OF the agency in the Davis
block. Herman Dorneden, a friend of
Nieman took up Nieman's cause and at
tempted to assault Curtin in the hall
way of the building. Curtin, in de-
Tending himself against Dorneden's at
tack, struck the latter a blow that
hurt his feelings more than anything
else. Dorneden swore out warrant
charging Curtin with assault, and the
case will be thrashed out before Judge
Girten in the South Chicago municipal
court.
The trouble arose over a claim for
the payment of a grocery bill against
a resident of Hegewisch that Nieman
placed some time ago with the col
lection agency. Suit was begun and
judgment secured by the agency
against the debtor. and an execution
placed with a deputy sheriff and a levy
made upon the real estate of the debtor
in Hegewisch. Before a sale was made
it was found that the amount of the
bill had been paid in full to Nieman.
Manager Curtin claimed a collection
fee for his services and also made a
claim for the amount of the costs that
had been created in bringing the suit.
Nieman refused to pay either commits
sion or costs, and visited the Office of
the collection agency last evening to
adjust the matter. Dorneden, who ac-
companied him, played Hogans goat
and butted in when the trouble was
practically over.

FRAUD CHARGED IN
RAILWAY MANIPULATION
Mrs. Amy a. BOuney Sues Edward F.
Bryant, President of Pullman Bank,
For Return of Stocks Transferred to
Him in Deal.

The Southern Street Railway, a pa
per street car company on account of
which Representative Cornelius J. Ton
of the Thirteenth district was severely
criticized during his campaign last fall
got into the limelight yesterday when
Edward F. Bryant, president of the
Pullman Loan and Savings bank, was
sued by Mrs. Amy A. Bouney for the
return of $4,000 worth of stock in the
Chicago and midland Railway com
pany and 20 shares of the Chicago Gen
eral Railway company.
Mrs. Bouney alleges that Bryant Sc
cured her stock in the two railways
upon his representations concerning a
plan to reorganize several street rail-
way companies The companies in
volved in this reorganization plan were
the Chicago General Railway com
pany, the West and South Towns
Street Railway company, and the Chi
cago Midland Transit company
Mrs. Bouney states that Bryant pro-
posed, as a means of accomplishing
the reorganization and subrOgation, to
utilize the articles of incorporation Of
the Southern Street Railway company
as a holding company or as co-trustee
with him. She further alleges that
Bryant represented that the holding
company had no outstanding debts of
any kind and that he controlled it's
entire capital stock.
The plaintiff says that Bryant caus-
ed himself to be made receiver of the
three companies and then passed over
the assets to the officers of the South
ern Railway company, who, the bill
states were acting for, by, and under
/ the direction of BRYANT.
