DE YOUNG FORCED
TO PAY PRIZES
Compromises Suits Begun by
Those Who Aided Chronicle
to Get Circulation

After two years OF waiting, the con-
testants IN the San Francisco Chroni-
cles abortive educational contest are
to get some OF their dues-that is, some
of them are. Rather than face those
contestants who filed suit against him.
M II. de Young has compromised their
claims.
Until they sued these claimants could
get absolutely no recognition. De
Young and the Chronicle paid no atten-
tion to them. though 1t was admitted
that they had worked hard to help the
Chronicle to get a circulation.
The children-most of them are little
more-went TO de Young in person and
asked to be given something for the
work they did. He sent them away
empty handed. Some of them retained
counsel and overtures were made to
de Young's lawyers looking to a settle
ment I'VE VIII pay you nothing; we
consider that there is not a nickel due
YOU" was the answer returned to orn-
baum & Fraser, the attorneys represent
ing the young claimants.
Then suit was fled Still there was
no disposition on the part of de Young
and his lawyers to settle. But a few
weeks ago Judge Seawell overruied a
demurrer to the complaint. deciding
that the contestants had a good cause
change of attitude. Faced with the
possibility OF being forced to pay in
full. de Young listened to wisdom Ne
gotiations that have since been in prog
ress have resu----- N the signing OF an
agreement whereby some of the con-
testantS who sued received practically
all that was due them, while others ac-
cepted reduced sums as a compromise.
Not only the four contestants in the
suit filed by OrnbAun & Fraser partici-
pate in the settlement. but four others
same firm. and on whose behalf suit
would have been fled. The settlements
made were as follows:
Emilie Hayward, TO whom was due
a $1,000 pianola, gets $3.50, being 25 per
cent of the sum she actually paid in;
John Ferguson, who also was in the
81 600 pianola class, receives $3.50; Terry
Ward gets a $500 scholarship which
was what he claimed; Herta Blacken-
burg, who won a scholarship worth
$5S5, agrees to accept a musical schoi
arship of somewhat less value; Ben
Levy takes a S400 scholarship instead
of one worth $500; Edward Lyon, Mel
son Birkholm and Mabel Hardin take
scholarships worth $780, 5000 and $500
respectively practically getting all
that was due them.
Ornbaun & Fraser are well satisfied
with the settlements they forced with
de Young. But there are S3 other prize
winners who get nothing. Their claims
are now outlawed, the contest having
lapsed more than two years ago. Not
having had the foresight to begin suit
they get nothing. Ferty-four prizes
were offered in the contest. 1t is un-
derstood that besides the eight con-
testants represented by Ornbaun g.
Fraser. three others compromised their
claims. One of these, who had won a
$1,000 pianola, agreed to accept $50,
Therefore there are SS claimants of
prizes who must go hungry, notwith
standing that they worked for months
to get subscriptions for the Chronicle,
The scholarships won by these unfor-
tunate 33 and now denied them range
in value from 800 to 5000.

SUES TO RECOVER
$25,OooONOPTION
j. E. McCreary Charges That He
Was Defrauded in Deal With
George R. Eaton

SAN RAFAEL, May 12.-Suit was
filed today by ]. Z. McCreary of San
Francisco through his attorney, j. w.
Cochrane. charging George r. Eaton
with having appropriated $4,000 In
connection with an option executed
March II, 1907. on property belonging
to the Bay City brick company. a San
Francisco corporation. The complaint
names Marie dor and the Renters
cisco as codefendants with Eaton, and
Judgment is asked against them fof
$1g,250.
McCreary alleged that June "a, 1907.
he discovered that the actual price OF
the property was not, s65, 900, as Eaton
had represented, but only $50, 900.
which sum he had paid TO Eaton on ac-
count of the $4,000. the cash price
named In the option.
Believing that mortgage existed in
favor of the brick company in the sum
of $4,000. McCreary paid that amount
at Eaton's instigation TO cancel 1T. Tn
der the agreement existing between
McCreary and Eaton, which was based
on the terms of tha. original option ex-
hibited to McCreary by Eaton, the prop
erty of the brick company was TO be
acquired as follows: $4,000 to be paid
in cash and $4,000 by notes OF one and
l"O years a. per Cbut. MC0IGdfy d.
legged that the actual purchase price
paid by Eaton was but $4,000 and that
the property was transferred in ae-
cordance on May s. 1907. the considera-
tion named being but $40.
The court also is pstitioned to set
aside transfers of Marin county real
estate which Eaton has acquired, Nc
Creary claims, with funds belonging to
McCreary. The Renters loan and trust
company is charged by Nc .reary with
having $4,000 in deposit belonging to
him. but deposited in the name of
Eaton. Although no direct charges are
made in the complaint other than those
affecting Eaton, the wording indicates
sensational developments. and there is
a strong probability that the names OF
prominent San Francisco businessmen
VIII be directly connected during the
hearing before Superior Judge Thomas
J. Lennon.
