DENY WRONG USE OF
BLANCH PROCESS
Murphy Company Says 1t LIE.
gaIIy Manufactured Paint
by His Formulas.

In refuting the allegations of Jo-
seph c. Blanch that the Murphy Var
nish Company inveigled him into dis
closing secret paint making formulas
and then discharged him as president
of the Blanchite Paint Company
Franklin Murphy, Jr., son of the for
mer Governor, took the stand before
Vice : Chancellor Stevens today
Blanch is suing to recover his secret
processes, to restrain the Murphy
Company from using them and to col
lect twenty per cent. of stock In the
company which he says is due him
under contract
In the first place, Mr. Murphy said,
Mr. Blanch had no other interest in
the business than an agreement to
get twenty per cent. of the profits.
He had no contract by which he was
to receive stock and served as pres
ident at $50 a week. When the Muir
ply Varnish Company, which bought
out the Blanchite Company and oper-
ated it as a separate institution at
the former company's plant in Chest
nut street, saw that Blanch was not
managing to their liking, Mr.. Muir
ply said, it accepted his resignation
and told him DIR. Sergeant would be
put in his place.
The men under Blanch quit with
him. Then the Murphy company de-
tailed its own men to make the small
amount of Blanchite paint that was
needed. Some of the formulas, Mr.
Murphy said, they had used, but the
company was acting entirely within
its rights, owning the processes under
an agreement made preceding the
dissolution of the Blanchite Com
pany in New York and its incorpora-
ton in connection with the Murphy
company in this State.
when we took over the Blanchite
business explained Mr.. Murphy,
1--WE found that it was worse than we
expected We had to put in S2O 600.
The profits were small Their losses,
as reported in their minutes, were
$3S. 900 in twenty-one months ending
July 81, 1910, and they lost money at
the rate of $1,000 month for the
three months after that. L am sure
If we hadn't bought them out, the
company would have become in
solvent and the stockholders wouldn't
have gotten as much as they did.
The company wouldn't have lived
more than a few weeks at the most.
1t was a losing operation for us to
buy it. The debts we paid for them
$29, 343.77."
Mr.. Murphy, under examination by
his attorney, John r. Hardin, said
that the Murphy Company had made
no promises to Blanch of any inter-
est in the proposed new company be-
fore the old one was dissolved in
New York. Blanch claims one-fifth
of the stock. Blanch is also suing
to have the Murphy Company
specifically perform an alleged con-
tract to push the Blanchite business
Mr. Murphy said its failure to ad-
vance was in effect due to the poor
composition of the paints under Mr..
Blanch's management. The product
was often returned owing to its poor
grade, he said.

LONDON. May Miss Annie

ROADS REFUSE TO
GIVE WAGE RAISE
Managers Say Compliance With
Demand Would Equal Lien
of $425, 600, 600.

NEW YORK, May 1.-The confer
ence committee of managers of east
ern railroads declined today to grant
the requests made by their conduc-
tors and trainmen for higher wages.
The committee in a reply sent to
the Order of Railway Conductors and
Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen
says that the present rates of wages
are liberal and in many cases ex-
cessive, and that the request for an
increase is declined lin the interests
of owners of railroad securities, in
the interest of all railroad employees
lin the interests of the public as a
whole"
1.-THE wages and working conditions
which you request" says the reply,
would increase the pay of the 100,-
600 conductors and trainmen of the
railroads in the eastern district by
approximately $17,000,000, or 20 per
cent. per annum. The increase would
be equivalent to placing on these
properties lien of $425, 000, 900 of
per cent. securities. which would have
preference over first mortgage bonds.
IF the railroads are forced to pay
extravagant wages to men in train
service, the burden must fall on the
public. You will readily see, there
fore, why. in considering your de-
nands, we hold the public interest
paramount.
Already the traffic of a growing
country has overtaxed the existing
facilities, and the heavy burdens in
CURED through ill-advised legislation.
such as extra-crew bflls-for which
the Brotherhood of Railroad Train
men is alone responsible-have forced
on the railroads and consequently on
the public needless expenditures of
millions of dollars annually. All of
these factors are making 1t impos-
sible for many of the roads to pro-
vide those facilities which prudent
foresight demands. and which the
interests of the public require"

say that there is perfect under
standing between him and Wilson.
and that when it comes to a nominal
ton in 1916 Bryan will be the admin
istration candidate. with Wilson's
backing
Wilson and One Term.
The fact that the President has as
yet made no statement as to the one
term plank has for several weeks oc-
easioned growing surprise and rest
lessness among Bryan men in Con-
gress. The general belief Is that the
President is bound by this plank and
cannot disregard it, but the fact that
he has not mentioned the subject
gives rise to much speculation and
uncertainty.
This is not the first time since cleo
ton that MARITIME, who, since 1896, has
been an ardent Bryanite, has at
tempted to pin Wilson to the single
term declaration. 1nithe Senate, soon
after election, the New Jersey senator
declared that the President would not
be q candidate for reelection. When
asked for his authority he said at the
time and has since repeated that he
was certain Governor Wilson had
made such a statement during the
campaign.
Recently, however, Senator MARITIME
admitted that he had been unable to
find any record of this statement, al
though he said he was not the less
certain as to it having been made.

ED|SON|A LEASES
IN COURT TANCLE
Receivers Attorney Charges
Large Creditor With Doing
an Illegal Business.

Claiming that the Gotham Clearing
House, of Fifth avenue. New York, is
doing an absolutely Illegal banking
business, Attorney Henry A. Heiser,
representing Receiver Frank W.
Long, today received an order from
Bankruptcy Referee Edwin G. Adams
to review the claim OF the clearing
house on $14s.00O worth of Edisonia
leases.
The Gotham company was one of
the heaviest creditors of the bank
rupt Edisonia Company, and holds
s14s, 900 worth of the Edisonia leases
as collateral for money loaned.
1t had practically established its
right to the leases and Referee
Adams was preparing to issue an
order giving the company title to the
leases now in it's possession, when
Attorney Heiser moved for the re-
view of the company's claims.
The clearing house offered en-
phatic opposition to the petition ask
ing for a review of the claims, but
after considering the evidence Ref
cree Adams said that he would issue
the order.
If Attorney Heiser's claim that the
clearing house is doing an illegal
banking business is upheld by Referee
Adams and the leases are ordered
turned over to the trustee 1t will al
most double the assets of the Edi-
sonia Company
The Gotham company's leases are
said to be the cream of all the piano
contracts and are practically all col
lectible. Hearing on the petition or
Attorney Heiser will be made next
week.
A hearing on the advisability7 OF
stopping all collections on Edisonla
leases will be held in the Bankruptcy
Court tomorrow This has been made
necessary by trouble arising from
duplicated leases, which it is claimed
the Edisonia Company gave as col
lateral.
Collectors representing the Nelson
Piano Company of Chicago; the VIC
timized banks and the clearing house
have called on the same lesees Tor
collections, because of the alleged
duplicate leases.
If the collections are not ordered
stopped, some steps will be taken, ac-
cording to Referee Adams, to make
each claimant prove title to the
leases claimed.
The George P. Bent Company, of
Chicago, asked Referee Adams for an
order restraining representatives of
the Nelson Company from collecting
on leases for the sale of the Bent or
Concord pianos. This was denied, on
the grounds that all collections were
being made in accordance with
previous agreements, and that the
Bent Company ought to have estab-
lished any claim they have when the
agreement was made.

As she came off the stage Sarah
Bernhardt-the divine, the only

Bernhard was smiling as she took
my hands in hers-I had been holding
them out to say good-by, for l

CLEANUP WEEK IS
PLANNED BY SCHOOLS

Our School Wants a Clean City"
will be displayed conspicuously on all
public school buildings throughout
the city for one week beginning on
Monday.
BY order of j. Wilmer Kennedy,
acting city superintendent of schools,
and with the sanction of the Board
of Education. next week will be OBJ
served as "Clean city week"
The aim of this innovation is to
bring home to the children in real
sense the need of cleanliness in the
home, school and city. Citizens will
be asked to cooperate with the chill
dren in making it general house
cleaning week so far as the streets
are concerned.
1t is suggested by MIR. Kennedy that
committees or leagues of pupils in
the various schools be appointed
from classes. each to investigate one
of the following, make report. and
take active measures TO better condi-
tons: School sidewalks, school
fences and exterior walls of the build
ing, streets surrounding the school,
courts and toilets, halls and stair
ways, flowers, window boxes, door
yards and school playground; noises,
such as shouting of wares and blow
ing horns near the school Can en-
forcement of the city noise ordinance
in the school zone will have salu-
tary effect: unclean spots in the
district Chose responsible for these
conditions should be waited on by 9
committee and asked to clean up in
the interest of clean city, and to
urge upon all pupils their duty to
refrain from littering the streets with
paper or refuse of any kind and to
remonstrate with persons who dc
these things.

WASHINGTON. May 1.
Senator Marines declaration for
William Jennings Bryan as the
Democratic candidate for the Presl-
deney in 1916, is causing lot of
talk, but not a great deal of sur
prise among Democrats at the Capt.
foi.
MARITIME is quoted in a New York
newspaper as having declared at st.
Louis that if Bryan is a candidate
IN 1916 nothing can stop his election.
The senior New Jersey Senator
continued, according to the reported
anterview, with the statement that
president Wilson is barred from re-
nomination by the one-term plank
in the Baltimore platform. Senators
Martins and Hughes are in st. Louis
ATTENDING the dedication of a monu-
sment to Thomas Jefferson. They are
not expected back in Washington
until tomorrow night and will not be
present at the jury reform conference
called by the President to be held
IN Jersey City tomorrow afternoon.

with the riddle of the relations be-

IN the Baltimore platform. There is
d difference of opinion, however, even
among friends of both the President
and Mr.. Bryan, as to what the out
come of the situation will be.
There are we'll informed Democrats
here who say that the recently dis
covered close friendship between
Bryan and Wilson is more apparent
