According to the bill the compliments
were incorporated February ., 1913, and
capitalized at Sl00, 900. Soon after the
Incorporation, 1t Is alleged, the Casual
ty Company entered into two agree
ments giving to the complainant the
exclusive right to the agencies In New
York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Illi-
nois and Massachusetts for u term of
ten years, also the right to BELL the
stock of the Casualty Company and re-
ceive so per cent. commissions on the
amount Of stock sold; the commission,
however. was subsequently reduced to
20 per cent
Under these agreements the COM
plainants allege they sold $3.50, 900 Of
tho stock of the defendant company,
for which they were paid commission
in accordance with the agreement.
The bill then shows hat In Deem
her, 1909, William J.. Gardner was
elected as Its general manager of the
company, and he was to have charge
of the agencies established by the
Gray-Mandeville Company. The cont
plalnants also charge that they had
sold policies of the Casualty COMPANY
upon which the premiums amounted tc
over $40, 1000. 1t Is then alleged that In
obtaining this business the complain
ants expended SIS, 900 more than was
paid to them by the Casualty Com
pany.
Continuing the complaint, It is set
forth that the Casualty Company
claims II was forced to vacate the
agreements because the laws of New
York would not permit them to do
business in hat State under such
agreements, and because Of this the
Gray-Mandeville Company is powerless
to enforce its claims against the Cas-
ua1ty Company unless the validity OF
the agreements shall first be deter
mined by the Court of Chancery."

 Fight

Topeka, Kan, Sept. 27.-Suits to oust the four men members of the Town Council of Hunnewell, Kan, were filed in the Supreme Court here yesterday by Attorney General Daw- the long-standing feud between the Councilmen and the ewoman Mayor. Mrs. Ella Wilson, who was elected last Spring. She appealed for State aid. The four Councilmen are F. J. Lander, President; B. Keir, J. F. Richardson, and J. O. Ellis.
 The Attorney General charges the quartet with the following: Wilful misconduct; failure to meet as a Council; meeting in a hotel bedroom to embarrass the Mayor; failure to notify the Mayor of the place of meeting; meeting in secret; passing pretended ordinance without giving the Mayor chance to be present; failure to confirm appointmen for pure malice; failure to provide a tax levy. and failure to cooperate with the Mayor in suppressing crime.
 According to statements made by the Councilmen in Hunnewell, last night when their resignations were demanded by Dawson, they will fight the case to the end.
 Some of the people of Hunnewell are supporting the Councilmen in the fight they are making. It is now learned that at mass meeting held Saturday at HunnewelI $250 was sub scribed by business men in a few minutes to help pay the expenses of the four Councilmen against whom custer proceedings have been filed.
