FISH CAME TOO FAST
LOCAL FIRM IS SUED BY FLORIDA
 SHIPPERS.
Misunderstnnding as to Week In Which Fish Were to Be Shipped Results in . Law
 Suit


 Much amusement was occa stoned In the civil division of the City Court of Montgomery yesterday, when evidence was taken in the case of T. J. Bryan, fish merchant of Florida vs. Tatum and Robinson, local fish dealers. The Florida fisherman was suing the local firm for S173.2S, claimed to be due on fish shipped. during the early part of last October.
 The proposition which Judge Thomas took under consideration hinged upon a letter which Tatum and Robinson sent to Bryan, ordering fish for the fair week. The Florida dealer took the letter to mean immediate shipment. while Tatum and Robinson claim that the letter called for shipments during the State Fair.
 A letter dated October 5, 1908, to T. J. Bryan contained the paragraph: The Alabama State Fair opens here at Montgomery on October l9. and we want to notify you in ample, time that we Will want all fish you can ship us that week. We want for this week ten or twenty barrels of fish, say of trout. red-snapper. Spanish mackerel, etc"
 The Florida dealer took the letter to mean that Tatum and Robinson want ed ten or twenty barrels of fish sbfp- ped the week of the letter, in addition sS SNN eAAV hSA tuCy EOulQ SnlD Qu- ring the Fair week The Florida deal. CT therefore commenced shipping fish to Montgomery according to the terms of the letter, and on October 10 a tele- gram was sent to him by Tatum and Robinson to Stop all fish" On Octo- Der 12 another telegram was sent by Tatum and Robinson, We told you to stop all fish" During the week of the Fair therefore, Tatum and Robinson received no fish.
 It is a rule with fish dealers that when overstocked all such fish are to be sold to the best advantage possi- ble, and Tatum and Robinson acted un- der this rule. They remitted the pro- ceeds for the heavy shipments but Bryan claimed that s173.28 was still due him on shipments.
 Judge Thomas took the matter under advisement, and rendered his decision yesterday afternoon that Tatum and Robinson should pay for the fish or- dered. fixing the judgment for the plaintiff at $103.32.
 The case of Bessie W. Walker vs. Elizabeth Wyman, a suit for thirteen acres of land. was also heard, Judge Thomas rendering a judgment for the plaintiff for the land sued for to- gether with damages amounting to S26S.34.

Threaten to Close - President Re-

ment of Workmen.
Pittsburg, Sept. 6.-President Taft
has taken a hand in the strike at the
plant of the Pressed Stsal Car works,
at SchOenville, and through United
States District Attorney John Jordan
has served notice upon the officials Of
the company that they must either ar
bitrate with the striking wOrkmen or
close the works
The news became public through one
of the officials of the car company.
who seemed much incensed that the
president should take such a stand,
and after a conference it was decided
that the works here will be closed
rather than take dictation from the
chief executive of the United States.
In taking this stand. President Taft
is following a precedent established by
his predecessor, Mr.. Roosevelt, who
practically forced arbitration durin~
the memorable strike of anthracite
coal miners
Since Special Agent Harry w Hoag-
land was sent here to probe strike
conditions, and incidentally to probe
the peOnage charges, it has been a
matter of much comment that AttOr
ney General George w. Wickershan
seemed to be cOgnizant of very little
that was transpiring during the ex-
animation of witnesses. It now tran
spires that The reports of Agent HoaA-
land have been sent direct to the sec
retary of tn president, and that Mr.
Taft has been the directing power in
the entire probe.
Not only has the president been kept
informed as to the evidence produced
at the open examination but he has
had his own secret agents upon the
ground, who have made confidential
reports to him. These reports are said
to uphold the peOnage charges. and
when made public will show that the
imported worlmen were under-fed:
that they were hired under false pro
lenses and that they were browbeaten
by special policemen. who had been
imported from Canada. and who. un.
