CRITICISM OF
A FIAT" STORY

We were criticised for telling fat
people to tender seventy-five cents
to their druggists for large case of
Marmola Tablets. Several wrote in
saying the use of the word tender
was incorrect, that tender in such a
connection raised the impression the
druggist might refuse seyenty-fiye
cents as insufficient.
Now, isn't that odd? A few5eweeks
ago seventy-five cents was .'tendered''
to Broadway druggist and he did re-
fuse 1t. That is. he said he had no
Marmola Tablets. whereas he did have
seven cases. But the wholesale house
was closed. it being on Saturday. and
he had to prevaricate to protect his
regular customers, who absorbed those
seven cases later in the day
This elegant pharmaceutical adapta-
tion of that famous, fashionable fat
reducer the Marnlola Prescription (yiz.
u OF. Marmola, u OF. FL. FIX. Cascara
Aromatic. BIZ OF. Peppermint Water}
is certainly having remarkable
vogue Millions of cases of tablets are
sold yearly and their fame grows
This is doubtless because of their
harmlessness guaranteed by the Mar
mola Co., 246 Farmer Bldg, Detroit
Mich.), and sure ability to remove 10
to 16 ounces of fat (not hesh) day
without Inconvenience bother, need for
exercising or interference with the

NEW YORK. Feb. 1O.-Counsel for
the minority stock holders in the Ohio

companies, control of which was recent
ly sold to interests yet to be officially

Before leaving for Cleveland tonight
III. B. McGraw. an attorney for the mi
nority stock holders. who are plaintiffs
in the action, said:
Through Vice President Hall and W.

that the American telephone and tele-
graph company loaned to Remick's firm
Or. l.. Day * Coz without security
ST,2S0,000 to buy the controlling shares
in the independent companies of Ohio
and Indiana. They admit that the
American company wanted the com

the purchase. They admit that the con-
tracts, not only between the American
company and Remiek's firm, but be-
tween Remick and r. W. Gon and
James S Bradley Jr.. who had the
shares of stock TO sell. were drawn in
the American company's Offices and that
Remick was acting for the American

Furthermore we have shown that
the American company asked j. p.

Lawyers Wage legal Battle
Over Injunction Proceedings
in Sturtevant's Court

Arguments on the petitions of the
recently ousted members of the old
board of health for an injunction re-
straining the mayor. chief of police and
members of the new board from taking
charge of the affairs of the department
were heard yesterday morning before
Judge Sturtevant and submitted to
him for decision.
Judge Sturtevant intimated that his
decision would be given by Saturday
or Monday at the latest, as he de-
clared that the public interests in
volved required that he should act
speedily. He gave the attorneys rep
resenting each side until tonight to
file additional citations of authorities
regarding certain contested points. but
said that he would ma ke his decision
in both this and the board of education
1 cases as soon as possible after receiv-
ing them.
QUESTION OF INJUNCTION
Judge Sturtevant's decision will not
go TO the merits of the contention as
to the validity OF the claims of the
rival aspirants to hold Office. but will
only determine the question as to

boards have sufficient ground of claim
to their positions TO warrant the issu-

expressed it by saying:

only which of you shall call on the at
torney general for permission to in

members of the newly appointed board
of health and the administration Of

ants were represented by Attorney

BUSINESS OF OFFICE TIED Up
The essential point of the argument
turned on the question of which set Of
claimants were in reality the present
de facto officers. Henley took the posi-
tion that former incumbents in every
case were entitled TO an injunction
against the parties claiming title so
long as their claim was made in good
faith and with color of right. Murphy
declared that the question Of good faith
was essential, but that incumbents had
no right to tie up the business of an
Office by refusing possession to success
Sors properly appointed.
Judge Sturtevant discussed this
phase of the argument at considerable
length in an informal way. stating his
own views and doubts a to the proper
Interpretation to be placed on some of
the decisions relied upon. and listened
attentively to views expressed by Hen
ley. Murphy and O'Grady.
The argument followed in general
trend that made last week at the hear
ing of the board of education cases
Much reliance was placed by Henley
upon the opinion given by Justice
Sloss while a Judge OF the department
of the superior court in which Sturte-
want is now presiding. Henley quoted
Sloss' language in the case of william

Schmitz began suit yesterday against
w. w. Byrne. W. II. Smith and j. \.
Wall for the recovery of $4,000.
In April, 1903, the defendants are al
legged to have represented to Schmitz
that Byrne had an option for $25,000 on
valuable mining property at Wonder,
New.
Upon these representations Schmitz
was induced to subscribe $4,000 for the
purchase of the claims. He now charges
that in truth the properties were of
little value and that the option was
for only $4,000. and not $4,000. The
three defendants conspired together to
cheat him, the plaintiff alleges.
