SAYS He PUT UP FUNDS
AND WAS SQUEEZED OUT
Suit Brought by Financial "Anger" to
Recover 62,5oo Shares in Build
ing and Paving Brick
Company

Suit for the recovery of $500 shares
of stock in the National Building and
Paving Brick company was filed yes
terday in the superior court by M. j.
Danison against c. w. Reynolds and
others.
Danison says he entered into an oral
contract with Reynolds, who had in
vented an improved process for manu-
featuring brick, the terms of the con-
tract being that Danison should fur
nish Reynolds with money for the
maintenance of his family until a cor
poration was formed. The patent
rights to the brick process were to be
sold to this corporation and the pro-
ceeds. according to Danison, were to
be divided equally between himself and
Reynolds.
The latter, Danison says, was given
125. 600 shares of stock in the company
for his rights, but Danison asserts that
he himself was left out of the transac-
ton. Much of Reynolds stock plaintiff
claims, was transferred without con-
sideration to members of his family, in
order, as it is declared, that Reynolds
might escape paying a judgment eX-
pected to be found against him in d
pending suit.

DEAN UNDER TRIAL ON
CHARGE OF EMBEZZLEMENT I
Head of Complaining Company TestI-
fies That He Received Only One
Small Contract for Pipe
from Defendant

The preliminary examination of A.
M. Dean, charged with the embezzle-
ment of $3S19 from the Machinery
Equipment company, was begun yes
terday before Justice Summerfield and
continued until this morning.
J. B. Jardine, head of the company,
was the only witness examined. He
said he employed Dean as Los Angeles
agent for the company in June last,
establishing offices in the Lankersh1m
building. All transactions, he said,
were to be referred to the head office
in San Francisco before being closed.
From the time the office was started
until August 81 Jardine claims to have
received but one contract for machin-
cry from Dean, and that called only
for a small purchase of pipe. Other
transactions, he said, were entered into,
two of which he had knowledge of, but
these had not been submitted to him.
Dean, it is understood, will defend
his actions by claiming he was part
.ner in the business and not employed
'as agent.

COURT INTlMATES SOME
ONE WAS FALSIFYlNG

The case of Mrs. Sarah Rubin, who
sued Thomas Butler for $299 on account
of personal injuries she said she sus-
tanned when Butler struck her with a
board on August II, was dismissed yes
terday by Justice Stephens, who took
occasion to remark that some person
was telling untruths.
Mrs. Rubin moved out of Buffers
home some weeks ago, leaving a chick
en- coop, which she said would be called
for the following day. -Four days
elapsed and she did not appear, and
in the meantime Butler demolished the
coop, piling the lumber neatly, while he
planned to use it in the future for the
erection of a dog house. When Mrs.
Rubin finally returned and demanded
the lumber Butler told her to get off
the premises Instead of doing this,
Mrs. Rubin began dragging few
sticks through the gate, Then Butler S
sister appeared with a hammer. Mrs.
Rubin, according to Butler, grabbed
this missile, but losing it in her ex-
element picked up a board and struck
him on the shoulder. Mrs. Rubin said
it was Butler who struck the blow and
that it was her arm that suffered as a
result They left this snarl with the
Justice to unravel but it was too much
of an effort, even with his wisdom, and
the case was dismissed.

UPHOLDS RIGHT TO
DISCHARGE TEACHER
WRIT OF MANDATE REFUSED
BY JUDGE BORDWELL
Principal of MonrovIa School ousted
from Office Following Complaints
by Pupils and Fellow
Instructor

Judge Bordwell, in an opinion rem
dered yesterday, denies the petition Of
E. e. Taylor, formerly principal of the
Monrovia high school, for a writ of
mandate to compel the board of trus-
tees to reinstate him. Taylor was en-
gagged as principal in July, 1906, but in
February of the year following he was
removed by the trustees, who alleged
unfitness and incompetency. He ap-
pealed to County Superintendent KEEP
pei. who upheld the trustees in their
action.
Within a month after Taylor was
chosen to preside over the schools COM
plants, it was said, began coming in
to the trustees regarding his treatment
of pupils. 1t was said that he over
worked them, and when the trustees
notified Taylor of these complaints he,
it is asserted, cut the lessons down to
a minimum, showing his resentment in
particular by assigning to the history
class a paragraph each day. Then, ac-
cording to the trustees, he indulged in
sarcasm, and on one occasion told a
class of young women if they did not
prepare their lessons better he would
jump down their throats and tramp
around their insideS." When one of
the teachers demonstrated because of
something he had done, it is claimed,
Taylor told her his corns were prob
ably aching or his wife might have
kicked him out of bed that morning.
One girl pupil he is said to have nick
named ''Fergy," while boy was des-
ignated by the name of Booze"
Taylor after leaving the school took
UP the practice of law. Judge Bordwell
held that the common law right of the
trustees to terminate a contract has not
been abridged by the California code.

PURCHASERS OF CHEMICAL
CO. STOCK ALLEGE FRAUD

Two suits were filed yesterday in the
supreme court against the American
Chemical company, an Arizona corpora
ton with the principal place of busi-
ness in Los Angeles. The plaintiffs are
w. II. Parsons and C. NJ. Parsons, both
of whom bought stock in the COM
pany, the former $1,000 and the latter
$3.50 worth
They were induced to do this, they
claim, because of the representations
of e. G. Wilhelm, president of the
company, who told them, they say,
that the principal substance used in
the manufacture of two brands of
washing powder was a mineral product
obtained in Utah and shipped in car
load lots to Los Angeles and at a small
cost compared with the price at which
the finished preparation was sold. The
Parsons want the sale of stock an
nulled and a return of their money.

S. M. Sewer, a contractor, filed suit
in the superior court yesterday against

defendants, he says, signed the protest,
with six others.
The latter have since retracted their
statements, but, according to the COM
