CLAIM STOCK WORTHLESS.
Vermont Men Allege They Were Duped
Into Purchase of 1t.

Burlington, Dee. l2.--F. Howes, Leslie
r. Brown of this city and II. II. Rey-
nolds of Manchester, n. H., have been
made defendants in two large suits for
damages against them, wherein it is
charged they fraudulently sold Clark
Rood of Colchester and w. w. Smith OF
Essex shares of stock in a telephone
company, it being alleged that the stock
was practically worthless. V. A. Bull
lard, attorney for the plaintiffs, said
there would be other suits to follow.
He also made the assertion that about
$50 900 worth of stock had probably been
sold in Chittenden county. The amount
sued for in the Rood and Smith suits
is $4,000 each. The action carried body
writs with it, bail of $4,000 being de
manded in each case. Mr., Howes fur
nished bail last evening, but Reynolds
remained in Jail all night.
1t is alleged by those who bring the
suits that at the request of the defend
ants, they bargained to buy shares of
the par value of 800 each from the
Washington Consolidated Telephone &
Telegraph company, corporation ere
ated and existing under and by virtue
of the laws of the state of Washington,
and further allegation is made that the
defendants knew that the said corpora
ton was not solvent and its capital had
little if any value then.
1t is charged they further represented
falsely and fraudulently to the plaintiff
that they personally knew the corpora
ton mentioned was the owner of all or
nearly all the telephone lines in or near
the city of Spokane, Wash, that the cor
poration had between 500 and 900 tele-
phones leased to subscribers in the city
of Spokane, had constructed many tele-
phone lines in and about the city, that
the income was large and amounted to a
great many thousand dollars. that there
was urgent demand for telephones. that
the corporation was the owner of GER
tain other telephone line known as the
Local Long Distance line and that the
shares would be a safe and profitable
investment. 1t is further charged that
Messrs. Rood and Smith bought large
amount of shares, and that the repre-
sensations made to them were not true
and that the shares have no value what
ever.

MED|COS AFTER

CHANCES AGAINST THE BROAD
STREET BUNCH. BUT THERE
ARE HOPES.

Harry Griffin chaperoned quiet

iethe at a social conciave just after
the game yesterday afternoon and
dispeiled an entire army OF Glooms
which had gathered around the
Spider camp as a result OF the two
successive defeats Harry Is neither
n so0thsayer nor is he seeking TO take
any of Ma Winsiow's honors, bat his
words to the Spiders braeed the men
and the encouragement resulting from
the meeting Will certainly make Itself
evident during the coming week
Il didn't expect that we would win
those games" the coach stated TO the
men. all asked for was a good
showing. We made II even if the box
scores don't show that we did To
my mind. the games entirely proved
what | have been saying during the
past two weeks and that is that Rich
mond college has material here SUM-
ctentiy good to win the Eastern col
legiate cup and the majority of the
games that we will play this season.
'.Of course there were a number
of errors made, but the condition or
the grounds during the first game was
responsible to great extent for them.
and the fact that several OF the men
were injured during that contest and
played in the second game when they
should have been on the bench was
directly responsible for the most of
the errors made then,
The fact that we hit the ball an
ran the bases and the absence of bone
headed work proves to me that we
have something To work upon, and
am sure that with hard practice and
possibly shifting of some of the men
we will be ready for the best of them
by the time Snead and Beale have got
over the spiking which they suffered
Friday. I do not feel discouraged In
the least and there is no reason for
any of the squad or the college to
do So"
Al Ortiz, coach of the Washington
and Lee baseball team. stated during
the game that he feared to take a
chance on the Spiders and for that
reason would not send Mowry in
against Yale Friday. but saved him
for the game here. He preferred to
lose to the New Haven team rather
than take a chance OF being defeated
by the Richmonders. Griffin realized
that the Spiders were opposing one
OF the best twirlers on the visitors
team, and the fact that they were able
to connect greatly encouraged the
coach.
Although no definite plans have
been made for the proposed change
In the Spiders lineup it Is under
stood that Ancarrow will go back t,
second next week and Hulcher will
again be located on the initial sack
This will be for the first game until
the cripples have recovered and can
take their regular places. Other
changes will. In all probability. be
made in the outfield, but IL Is not
known, even to the coaches. Just what
will be the new arrangement.
Griffin stated after the game yes
terday that there were several new
men In college who had promised to
report for the squad next week, and
that he thought there was chance OF
getting at least one II mot two regu-
lars out OF the new bunch.
