Williams was startled when he saw the
joblet OF securities he had received in
exchange for his notes. secured by good
Buffalo real estate. However, his main
concern was 70 raise s95o,oo0 and he waited
for Addicks to obtain the money fer him.
Williams said in his complaint:
'rhe defendants have wholly failed TO
furnish any money to the plaintiff or to
procure any loan for his. and now state
that the pretense Of securing loan from
some woman represented by the defend
ant, Quimby, was without foundation. and
that the defendant Addicks was to fur
nish the money, while the said Addicks
aserts he has no money that he can
furnish Upon various pretexts and after
making various appointments, they have
wholly failed 10. furnish any money or ef-
feet any loan for the benefit Of the plain.

Hinchman refused to give them up say

as far as he. Hinchman. was concerned
the transaction simply was the exchange

GLAZED KID TRUST
IS NOW TALKED OF

Promoters whose identity manufactur-
ers decline to disclose have been making
efforts to consolidate the glazed kid leath-
er interests in wilmington. Pbnadelphia
New York and Lynn. Mass, but with
little success The largest corporations. it
was declared by manufacturers to-day
had refused 10 enter the combination. ~ d
it was said that without these It would
be impossible to form a trust
Manufacturers have been approached
with proposition. 70 form a company
with a capital Of S50.Oo0O00 for the put-
pose of protecting the glazed leather in
dustry which has suffered by compst-
tion that in the last two years has been
more intense than in any previous period
There are about so factories engaged in
this branch of the leather industry in
this country. but the trade centre of the
business lies in Philadelphia and WI
mington which have an output Of pre-
pared leather and finished enamel and
patent leather goods equal TO that Of all
other cities combined: SO that a combina-
tion of interests if consummatad would
give to the two cities the control Of the
product, witch now amounts TO about SS5-
c0oo00 a year.
It has been pointed out 20 the nnNu-ac-
turers in this city that combination of
interests will put an end 10 the sharp CON-
petition among the large manufacturers Of
the kid feathers for the raw mae al
which has been kept at the ton notch be-
cause Of the eager efforts to get it.
"All efforts 10 get the gazei kid lrathcr
interests to combine have been unavaN-
ing said one manufacturer. "and I don {
believe that an effort TO that end w D
succeed now. Il IS true that there Is she'p
competition in the purchase Of raw r'a-
terial and a combination could avert
much OF that but all promoters who have
attempted TO merge tho saized leather con-
cernss have had nothing to offer except
stock IN the combination they propose to-
form and factory owners want sonr- thing
more substantial than that. II offers came
in cash there would dorbuess be n cons
slderation Of the proposition"
II Is said that the proposition for mer~
ger came from Wilmington. Local ma1u-
faoturers of glazed kid say the cambnz
has been talked Of for years. bat they
don't see any realization Of the merger in
sight.
