KENNEBEC SUPREME COURT,
Hotchkiss VS. Bon Air Coal Co. Case
Still Being Heard.

At the opening of the Kennebec Su-
premc court Monday morning the sec
ond jury was excused until Thursday
morning at 9 o'clock.
The hearing of the case of Hotchkiss
vs. Bon Air Coal and Iron Co, was re-
sumed. and the cross-cxamination of
Neil Robinson. the plaintiffs expert,
was continued 10y Attorney Herbert
NJ. Heath.
The Witness was questioned regard
ing his conversation with Vice Presi-
dent Overton Of the Bon Air Co. after
the examination of the property was
made by the witness. The witness
could not recollect having said that the
land was cheap at SIS an acre. The
witness could not remember saying
that there might be 1900 or 1900 acres
of workable coal out of the $4,000 acres
"If l made any statement it was in
accordance with the record said the
witness
on redirect examination by Attorney
A. NJ Goddard: "How much would it
have cost to have covered this terri
tory with drill holes as thick as the
Quintrall, Shahan and Overton tests?"
about 100000 or 100000
William Sutherland of Chicago, an ex-
pert accountant. next took the stand.
The witness examined the books of the
Pon Air Coal and Iron Co. in June
1906 The exapination of the books
occupied about a week, and took place
ir the office of the company at Nash
Vile. Tenn. A statement was put in
evidence Of figures obtained from the
books of the Bon Air Co.
The witness was taken over the va
rious items of tabulated report which
he had made. with balance sheet
attached, and testified that all the re-
suits were obtained from the books OF
the company.
The witness was subjected to a
searching cross examination by At
torney Heath.

books Of defendant company. He not

dividends paid for that year amounted
! to $4,000. while the profits for the
year were only $4,000; making diff
ference between the profits and divi-
dends declared to stockholders of $685.

On cross examination, Mr.. Heath

that the report began with the year
1908, and paid no attention to any
/, profits which might have been earned
in the year 1902, the Bon Air Coal and
Iron Co. having begun business on
Aug / of that year. Taking the profits
of the years 1908 and 1904 and COM
pairing them with the dividends de-
clared for those two years. left a de-
ticit in the reckoning of $17,119.S1. The
witness was asked the hypothetical
question whether, if the profit of the
business had been $17,719.S7 during
the latter half of the year 1902, the
apparent deficit for the years 1903 and
1904 would not be accounted for. The
witness answered affirmatively.
The plaintiff offered in evidence 10
cost sheets Of the Bon Air Coal and
Iron Co.. and other companies. cover
ing the period 1926. on pig iron and
iron.
/ Mr.. sutherland was recalled and
questioned as to his means OF finding
the figures which he had previously
testified to-
At 5.37. p. NJ. Attorney A. NJ God
dard announced that the plaintiff rest
ed at this point.
Attorney Heath then addressed the
court and submitted that there had
been no alleged misrepresentation IN
the case, and On the Testimony OF the
plaintiff there had been no fraud: and
further, on plaintiffs own showing, ne
did not make decision within rea-
sOnable length of time. On March l3
1906, he paid 100000 for the purpose
of having the privilege on March l.,
1907 of paying $4,900,000 more. Mr..
Heath gave further details OF the
oneration and said that if there was
any lack of continuity in the coal
field, the plaintiff plainly waived 1t,
Whether the interferences were I'M
portant or unimportant was a matter
of opinion. He argued that the evil
dence did not show false and fraudu-
| lent MISREPRESENTATION. He moved a
| nOn-sut.
The motion for a non-suit was over
| ruled, and an evening session was
| held. at which the defence opened ITS

How Quality is Reduced

It is just question Of evaporation. One
third of the water Of raw milk can be taken out
by evaporation or twice as much water can be
taken out The resulting product Of both proc

But stop and think Of the difference in cost
Realize how it will be when you come to dilute

Don't take other brand and think is like Van Camp

All Evaporated Milk looks alike and tastes
much alike. But there is difference. And the
difference in quality makes a vast difference in
the manufacturers cost and his profits. This is
important to you.
The difference is in the richness, for after
purity, richness controls the value of milk.
The manufacturer of some other brand may
have told your grocer his brand is as rich as
Van Camps. But is it 50?

Why Quality is Reduced

Just now the United States laws don't protect
you and your grocer against weak, Evaporated
Milk, because the standard has been relaxed
The law is not enforced. There is much COM
petition and great temptation to reduce the quail
ity SO the wholesale price can be reduced.
Van Camps Milk has not been reduced in
price (your grocer will tell you thaD and
positively guarantee you the quality has not
and will not be reduced
Quality is what you must have and we know
it is wise to give it to you. So quality is what
you can depend upon in Van Camps Milk

BREWERY HANDS OUT.
Eight Hundred Beer Makers on Strike
in Kansas City.

Kansas City, Mo-, May 14.-Eight
hundred brewery workers, employed at
the different breweries of Kansas City,
failed to report for work this morning
and announced that a strike had been
declared. The trouble arises from the
re-signing of contract between the
men and the breweries. The old con-
tract expired May 1. Since then ne
gotiations looking to the signing of a
new contract have been going on. Last
week, however, it was apparent that
no agreement could be reached and
officials of the union ordered strike.
The strike completely tied up every
brewery in the city. Brewers, bottlers,
labelers, coopers, machinists and driv-
ers went out, only the engineers and
f1remen remaining at work.
When the question of new contract
was taken up by the contending par
ties, the workers presented demands
for an increase in wages, citing the
prosperity Of the companies and the
increased price of living. The increase
asked aggregated about 81 a week per
man. The brewers made an effort to
have the men sign at the old scale, but
were unsuccessful.
The brewers of the city will hold a
meeting today to determine what ac-
tion they will take.

BOTH ARE GUILTY.
On These Grounds the Court Divorces
the McKees.

Paris, May 1.-THE court today in
granting the Hart Mckee divorce finds
that both Mr.. and Mrs Mckee had
contributed to the unhappiness of their
household. Mrs. Mckee is given the
custody of their child, with the pro-
vision that Mr.. Mckee be allowed to
have the child one month yearly as
we'll as being permitted to see it twice
a week if living in the same city or
town.
The court also found that Mr.. Nc
KEGS charges that Colonel Baxter and
Mrs. Mckee, his daughter, had in
spired libellous articles against him in
the American newspapers were not
proved and dismissed the case. Mr..
Mckee was ordered to contribute 1000
francs monthly for the support of his
child.
The divorce suit was brought in this
city by Mrs. Hart Mckee, formerly
Mrs. Hugh Tevis. The court was of
the opinion that a reconciliation be-
separation was the wisest thing. 1t
found the husband guilty of violence
and of having committed grave wrongs
towards his wife, saying he had yield
ed on the slightest provocation to the
impulses of his vicious nature. He had
aggravated these wrongs by bringing
charges against his wife which he
could not prove as well as by having
read in court his wife's love letters,
which elementary decency should have
prevented him from making public.
The court found that the wife on
