of 2S1 johnson avenue, secretary, treas

lam p. Mes Company dncorporated),
was held in $4,000 bail by Judge Hahn
in the First Precinct Police Court to-
day The complaint was made by Mrs.
Carrie Mes, a widow, of 5 Belmont ave-
nue.. The examination was set for Sep
tember 81.
The Mes Company manufactures
horse collars at 65 Hamilton street.
Since 1902 the business has been run by
corporation. Before that time it was
owned and run by William p Mes, hus-
band of the complainant. When he
died a corporation was formed, COM
posed of former Judge William H. Nor
row, of Belvidere; DR.. G.. Wycoff Cum
mins, uncle of the accused, and Mrs.
Mes.
Cummins, who was bookkeeper for
the old firm, was made general mana
ger. 1t is stated that each of the in
corporators was to put $4,000 in the
firm. Mrs. Mes makes the assertion
that not only did she place in $1,000,
but an additional $4,000. Judge Morrow
makes the same claim and says that
neither of the Cumnlinses put in a cent.
Henry Carless, who appears as coun-
sci for Mrs. Mes, told this story to
Judge Hahn: MRS. Mes drew small
dividends until 1906 Then her divi-
dends ceased. She got me to represent
her at the meetings of the stockhold-
ers. Each year there was a deficit OF
from 5000 to s400. In August this year
/ demanded a statement from Charles
Cummins OF the original amount OF
cash and stock when the corporation
was formed. Cummins went to his
home to get his books. He brought
back a statement which purported to
show that the firm began business
with stock amounting to $20,699. Cum
minis then admitted that there was a
great deal less. The books showed that
while Mrs. Mes and Judge Morrow had
each placed $1,000 In the business, thar
was all that anybody paid in"
Mr. Carless also declared that up
to 1909 DR.. Cumnins drew in dividends
$1,i61 and his nephew, Charles Cum
Minis, s1,367. He says that the busi-
ness has been run down; that one time
there were sixty-five men employed
and now there is but ore.
