Fighting Effort to Postpone
Sale Monday.

Eastern capitalists are after the big
Mergenthaler-H Horton Basket Manu-
featuring company. AS a consequence,
bidding at the sale of the plant Mon
cay, if the sale is held, will be lively.
They want the plant SO badly that
they employed counsel to go to Louis
Vile to oppose a motion made in
Judge Evans court, to postpone the
sale. This motion to postpone was
made by Bagby and Martin, repre-
senting the Globe Bank and Trust com
pany, but the order was not modified
lat all.
When ]. A. Bauer stepped in and
bought the great plant at the last
sale for $4,000. Paducah parties in
terested, as well as out-of-town capt.
tallsts sat up and took notice. His
daring made them take energetic
steps to have the sale annulled. It
was annuled by Judge Evans on the
grounds that If another sale should be
held the plant would bring much more
money. 1t will, because instead of
one bidder of any magnitude, there
will be several at the sale Monday.
NJ. J. Parkhurst, of New Haven.
Conn, son of the president of the com
pany, and the man who was largely
instrumental in promoting the con-
Germ, is in the city to look after his
fathers interests, and to bid at the
sale. With Mr.. Parkhurst is Mr.. f.
C. Dayton, also of New Haven. 1t
is said that they represent an eastern
syndicate of capitalists who want the
plant and are willing to pay much
more than s25 900 to get it. S. H.
Fish. of Sodus. n. Y, is also in the
city to attend the sale. and this morn
ing with w. f. Hummel. receiver,
went over the plant in Mechanicsburg.
He was impressed, as everybody who
has ever seen the plant, has been inn
pressed, with the fact that ]. A.
Bauer merely walked off with a big
prize.

OIL TANKS DANGEROUS

Fire Chief James Wood has COM
pleted his investigation of the safety
of the Standard oil company's store
rooms at Tenth and Monroe streets,
