GEO. M. CANNON SUED.
Oneida Irrigation District Seeks to Re-
cover S33,37O In Commissions.

George NJ. Cannon, president of the
defendant in a suit filed In the federal
court yesterday by the Oneida Irrlga-
ton District, for 1913, 3T0 alleged to be
due the irrigation company ON an
agreement. Plaintiff company is an
Idaho corporation, and in its com
plant 1t is alleged that Cannon enter
ed into agreement with its then treas
urer George C, Parkinson, and Arthur
w. Hart, director, to sell the capital
stock of the corporation, he to receive
commission OF 10 per cent of the
sales. The agreement was carried out
and the company is suing for the re-
turn of the commissions. a strict read
ing of the Idaho statute under which
the company was organized says that
none of the capital stock shall be sold
for less than its face value, and hence
the agreement for 10 per cent rebate
was Illegal. The suit is an outgrowtn
OF the litigation which has stirred the
Oneida company for the past few
months.
George NJ Cannon last evening stated
that the directors of the company app
