SAYS STOCK HEINZE
GOT HAD "HEAVES"
Bracket CensureS Gould in
Deal Involving 81 100000
Jury to Get Case To- daY.

The suit of Edwin Gould against F.
Heinze TO recover on notes
given by the latter as part payment
for stock of the Mercantile National
Bank aggregating about 81 100000. will
90 to the jury in the Supreme Court
to-day after Justice Page has delivered
his charge.
Alton B. Parker yesterday summed
up for Mr.. Gould and Edgar T. Bracket
for Mr.. Heinze. Charles w. Morse,
who was said to have figured in the
transaction between the litigants, and
who had been subp9naed, was not
called to testify.
Justice Page denied the motion Of
Mr. Parker to dismiss the counter
claim made by Mr.. Heinze for 100000
that he paid in cash to Mr.. Gould for
the Mercantile stock. The defendant
has maintained that the stock was sold
to him under false representations.
Judge Parker denied that there had
been any misrepresentation by his
client. and that Mr.. Heinze was con-
versant with the affairs Of the Mercan-
tile bank when he bought the stock 1t
was asserted that Mr.. Heinze did not
buy the stock for investment, but for
speculative purposes and to help him
get control OF the bank.
Senator Bracket said that when a
man buys a horse which is guaranteed
as sound and the buyer finds the animal
has the heaves, he can get his money
back. He said that the stock sold by
Mr. Gould to Mr. Heinze, had the
"heaves."

Giants Manager Scores on
City's tumble in Suit to
Collect 1855 Tax.

Listen 70 the plight Of a manager OF
a baseball club which did not capture
the worlds championship nor the Ma
tional League pennant. Incidentally

year. John ]. McGraw is the person.
According to testimony he gave be-
fore Justice Ford in the Supreme Court

the City Of New York brought against
him TO collect 1856, which was the
amount lie was assessed as personal

that ne had received no notice OF the
assessment.

only businesses at the time the assess
ment was levied were managing the
Giants and running billiard room.

he sold il at loss. He asserted that
his bank account never amounted TO
more than from $4,000 to $4,000 and
he owned a $500 automobile. At the
time the Giants manager was also
liable for note for $1,000 held by the
Washington Heights Bank. This note
has since been paid.
In debts McGraw had $4,000 result,
ing from the billiard room venture. All
the furniture in his home belonged to
his wife, he said.
On the recommendation Of Corpora
ton Counsel Polk, Justice Ford dis
missed the suit.

HONEST MESSENGER
BALKS AT REWARD
But Gladly Keeps So When He
Learns Million Dollars in
Bonds Are Samples.

s breathless messenger boy rushed IN
70 the desk in the Hotel Astor last
night and demanded to see Martin j.
King. one Of the guests.
"What for" asked the clerk. when
he had recovered from the shock of the
discovery that speed really is one Of a
messenger bows accomplishments.
Never mind. ! want to see him per
sonally," WAS the answer. But the
clerk insisted that the young man
make known the nature of his business.
"All right, then. Tell him that ! got
a million dollars of his. Found 1t in
the subway" the startled clerk was in
formed.
Mr.. King. who is vI-e-president Of a
newly formed stock company in Chi
cago, came in response to summons,
and the messenger turned over TO him
a portmanteau, which on being opened
seemed bursting with handsomely en-
craved securities. After a casual glance
at the bundle Of wealth Mr. King
thanked the finder and handed him a
five dollar bill.
The recipient fingered the money for
q moment and then entered a loud pro
test. A fine reward that was, he said.
Here he had been honest and returned
Ut least q million dollars to its owner,
and what did he get? Five measly
dollars. Nothing doing. He had read
of such things, but he wasn't going to
stand f)r that kind of deal.
Mr.. King smiled patiently. Then he
said: ooh, very we'll. Give me the five
dollars and III let you keep the grip
with all those bonds in it,"
This put a new complexion on the
affair. The boy looked first at the
money, then at the bonds, then at Mr.
King. Finally it all came out. The
bonds we're only samples, submitted by
a local engraving house for Mr.. King
to select a design from. The total
value of the outfit was about 81. The
youth pinned TIE bill in the. lining OF
his vest and went away from there.
