JURY DECIDES IN
BERMAN's FAVOR
CLOTHING MERCHANT GIVEN
JUDGMENT FOR $t.435 AGAINST
NEW YORK HOUSE.

Sol Berman, proprietor OF the Mis-
At Clothing Co.. was awarded juds-
ment for $1,435 against Balkin &
Joseph, doing business as the Inn
perial Vest Co. OF New York city, by
a jury in Judge Murphy's cour;,
Thursday. The trial OF the case,
which consumed 10 days, was follow
ed with good deal OF interest by
local merchants, as an interesting
principle was involved. Several man
| witnesses.
Mr.. Berman. in January, 1907.
bought OF the defendants lot OF
fancy vests at II IA cents apiece.
The New York firm. ii was alleged.
failed to deliver the goods called for
in the contract, and Berman sued 10
recover the difference between the
price he agreed TO pay for the vests
and the markeh valuation. The Judg-
ment is for the full amount cfHimet.
The testimony showed that some o!
the vests had been sold elsewhere az
prices ranging from sl.37 to $3.50.
witnesses testified that the vests
were worth more than was claimed at
the time the contract was entered
into.
When goods are purchased at an
average price" said Mr.. Berman 10
The Times. lit. OF course, may In
clude vests or garments that are
worth intrinsically two or three times
what merchant pays for them. A
house receiving such an order often
discovers that II has sold the goods
at too low a price and makes IT rule
TO write the merchant giving the or
der that the list numbers OF the To-.
were sold before the order was re-
ceived, thus attempting to force upon
the merchant goods OF an inferior
grade. This was exactly the situa-
ton In my case.
During the progress of the trial
il was shown by the books OF the I'M
rerial Vest Co. that the same vests
sold to me were subsequently deliT-
cred to other concerns throughout the
country at prices ranging from 80
cents to 81 SO more. Inasmuch as the
Imperial Co had written me that
they were all sold out OF the vest
numbers ordered. this constituted 4
very important and damaging bit ct
testimony"

" HAT h AS|N 7
BEEN OFFERED
MINNESOTA MANS ANSWER TO
TIMES SUGGESTION THAT HE
TAKE SECOND PLACE iNDl-
GATES QUESTION is STILL OPEN
JOHN 4. JOHNSON.

Adyices from Denver say the choice
OF a candidate for yice-president is
the leading theme, and that Gov. John.
son has a decided lead. Little atten-
tion is paid 70 the announcement that
he Is not candidate and would not
accept second place. Those who
favor him say that. while he has been
successful in Minnesota. he has not
won such place In his party that he
could AFFORD TO decline a nomination
for vice-president. They contend that
he Is the one available man who would
properly supplement Mr., Bryan's can
didacy; that he has been put forward
as the candidate for the presidency by
eastern Democrats and that those
Democrats would support him just as
strenuously for vice-president.
In response 10 a suggestion from
The Times that he complete the ticket
In the interest OF the people and as an
augury OF greater things politically
for him later on, Gov. Johnson has
sent the following message to The
Times:

err for me TO decline an office 10 which
