TELLS MORE OF
KNOCKOUT PLANS
Former Employe Of National Cash
Register Co. Continues His SEN
sational Testimony.

Further details of the methods by
which the National Cash Register Co.
throttled competition during the time
he was employed by the concern were
unfolded by Carl Heyne. formerly in
charge of the company's competition
department and now general manager
of the American Cash Register Co..
the Nationals most active rival, In
the office OF Clark, Lockwood, Bryant
& Klein, Thursday morning. 1t is
probable that his examination will be
completed Thursday afternoon.
Assistant Acknowledgement Chase,
who Is conducting the case for the
state. the purpose of the suit being to
put the National Company out OF
business in Michigan, appears to be
perfectly astounded over the dis
closures made by Heyne as to the
knockout methods employed by the
National company against Its competi-
tors.
The record discloses," said Mr..
Chase, that the National Cash Reg
lister Co. kept on giving Knockout
drops to competitor until 1t killed
him, but 1t usually left him enough
money to provide adecent burial"
Heyne told, Thursday morning.
how, the National had employed de-
tectives to look up competing COM
panfes, how II had blocked sales and
had attempted to induce stockholders
In the concerns to withdraw from
them.
Heyne gave the details of the
demise of the Hallwood Cash Regis
ter Co., as far as the manufacture OF
cash registers was concerned. The
Hallwood Co. came out with time
lock device to be used in factories,
registering within five minutes of the
exact time the employees rang in. The
National Co., he said, got up fine
looking picture of a machine that
would register every minute and
which they were supposed to have
ready for the market. AS matter
of fact, said Heyne, the company had
nothing but the picture, but the bluff
worked and the Hallwood Co., finally
agreed to give up the manufacture Of
cash registers II the National would
agree not to manufacture@the time
locks.

A number of the supervisors from

Cupid would be in continuous bliss
were II not for the fact that so much
of his work is undone in the divorce
courts. AS II Is, however, he finds
lots TO do. The month of roses and
brides, this year. has been an unusual
ly busy one for him In Detroit and
Wayne county; In fact, Alexander
Stewart, in the county clerks office, his
right hand man in this city, thinks that
the record for marriage licenses may
be broken this year. Up to Wednes-
day afternoon Mr.. Stewart had issued
925 licenses and he Is confident that
the thousand mark will be reached
before Saturday July 1. He will have
to get pretty close to the four
figures mark to exceed the number
issued in June, 1910, which was 9SS.
Times are pretty good just now"
said Mr.. Stewart to The Times, "and
am pretty sure that enough grooms
will come In from now on to the end
of the month TO enable us to surpass
the record of June, 1910. Prosperity

Office did more business than ever
before. During the twelve months
we issued 6,705 licenses. Thus fars
this year, we have issued 1926"
The number of divorces will also
be increased to a large extent this
year. While there have been 4S6 up
to the present time. the court author
tiles anticipate that there will be at
least 1000, about 20 week, for the
whole year. In 1910 there were about
700 divorces in the local courts.
Bishop Charles d.. Williams,swho re-
turned 10 the cfty, Thursday morning,
after a visit among the northern
parts Of his diocese, was asked for
an expression of his opinion regard
ing the divorce situation in Detroit.
1T Is too disgusting to talk about"

The bishop was also asked whether
he intended to accept or refuse the
Office of president of the Michigan
branch of the National Reform associ-
alton, position to which he was ap-
pointed while out of the city. He said
he had not had time to know what
the association was doing, and that
he would have to investigate before
deciding what action he would take.
One of the chief objects OF the associ-
alton Is to lessen the divorce evil.
