AFTER REAL PLAINTIFFS.
". S. r. La7cyers Want Names Of
Contributors to King Committee.

Vigorous efforts were made by the lawyers for
the Metropolitan Street Railway Company to learn
just who wass behind the suit Of Minnie Weller
and Emmanuel We'll when hearings were resumed
in that case yesterday before Justice Young in the
5th District Municipal Court. John B. Stanchfeld
declared that he had a right to know who were the
real plaintiffs in the suit, while Pratt A Brown at
one stage of the proceedings asserted that this
case of champerty. if ever there one"
At the last hearing the lawyers for the King
committee of minority stockholders OF the Metro
politan Street Railway promised produce
tain books and documents. Eugene Kremer, coun-
sci for the plaintiffs. had those documents yester-
day. Immediately Mr.. Stanchfeld wanted them
placed in evidence, saying that he had called for
other papers containing lists of contributors TO
the King committee, who, he said, constituted the
real plaintiffs in this case Mr.. Kremer acknowl-
edged that his clients had contributed toward the
expenses of that committee.
After long wrangle over the marking of those
documents in which the lawyers displayed much
acrimony, Justice Young decided against the Met
ropolitan lawyers Mr.. Brown argued that they
necessary permit his clients TO take an ap-
peal to higher courts
No reply is necessary such unbushing effront-
cry and audacity'' shouted Mr.. Kremer.
Finally Isaac Blum, who secretary of the
Kin, committee. was put the stand He de-
clured in answer to questions that he had turned
over all contributions to the bookkeeper, who en-
tered them in the proper books and handled the
money Mr. Brown tried hard TO learn If any of
the LAWYERS in the Weiller-Weil case attended the
meetings OF the committee. He declared the wit
ness could be compelled answer, and sup
ported in this by Mr.. Stanchfied, but Mr.. Blum's
memory was not good. and he could not tell any
thing they wanted to know.
Justice Young at length, when the lawyers had
Nrangled among themselves for another hour, de-
c6ed that they could have until August 10 TO sub
