DECISION IN SUIT
FOR CHILDS CO.
STOCK RESERVED
Argument Heard in Montclair
Mans Case Against Res
taurant Concern.

Argument was heard yesterday aft
ernoou before ice-Chancellor Howell
IN the suit brought by Edwin Fl.
Haven. of Montclair. against the
Ghilds Restaurant Company. Samuel
Ghilds and William Childs. jr. Tho
trial Of the proceedings, covering sev-
eral DAYS, took place before the vice
chancellor two weeks ago.
Mr.. Haven, who, with his wife.
owns about $4,000 of the common
and preferred stock of the restaurant
company. seeks TO have returned to
the treasury Of the company large
blocks Of stock now held by the
childs brothers. which ne contends
vas given to them without considera-
ton.
The Childs Restaurant Company is
a New Jersey corporation. organized
to operate the Childs restaurants in
Pennsylvania and this State. It has
a capital of $1,000. 900. When first or
ganized it took over a restaurant just
about TO be opened by the Childs
brothers at 1908 Chestnut street,
Philadelphia.
II was agreed by the subscribers to
the stock of the company that the
Childs brothers should receive from
the company all of the moneys they
had expended or were about to ex-
pend in the equipment of the new
store in the stock Of the new corpora
ton. and that they were to be paid
in the same way for their manage
ment and for ood-will. Their name
was well known, and this fact was to
be considered in estimating the value
Of the goodwill.
II was determined that the cost of
equipping the Chestnut street store
would be $4,000. This amount was
allowed in preferred stock for this
item, and for each share of preferred
stock the Childs brothers were al
lotted three shares of common stock
as a bonus. On the same basis stock
was allowed to the brothers for their
goodwill and for management. Other
stores We're started. ana whenever
this happened the Childs brothers
took the capital stock on the same
basis as in the original agreement
There are now a large number of res
taurants that have been established
| in Pennsylvania and New Jersey, and
| the Childs brothers have in their pos
session a great deal of the stock.
1t is this that the complainant
seeks to have restored to the treas
ury. He says that any agreement
that would permit this accumulation
of stock by the brothers is void as
against public policy and good
morals. the stock being given with
out consideration.
On behalf of the Childs brothers
John R. Hardin argued that the two
men had earned the stock and it Is
theirs by right. There was sufficient
consideration for the stock and the
prayer of the complainant should be
denied.
| Edward G. Keasbey and former
Judge Gilbert Collins represented Mr.
Ravens. The vice-chancellor re-
served decision.

WHITMAN MAY GET
/. I. R. ENDORSEMENT
Progressives Prepared to Sup
port Him for New York
Governorship.

OYSTER BAY, May 29.-In the
most important political conference
in which Colonel Roosevelt has par
ticipated since his return, 1t was de-
cided last night at Sycamore Hill that
rather than face almost certain de-
feat in the coming gubernatorial
election the Progressives would en-
dorse any Republican candidate
whose political character and ideals
were acceptable to the Bull Moose
party standards.
For instance, it was cited that If
the Republicans nominated for the
Governorship, Harvey d. Human, OF
Binghamton, or a man Of the same
calibre and character. the Progress
sives would endorse him.
In the most important conference
in Col. Roosevelt's library were
Theodore Douglas Robinson. Judge
Ransom, Chauncy Hamlin, of Buff
falo; Frederick NJ. Davenport, who
was the Progressive candidate for
the Lieut. Governorship. and Fran
els Bird. New York County chairman.
These men called upon the Colonel
tonight on the eve of his departure
for Europe, and asked him point
blank to let the New York State Pro-
gressives know just where they stood
and what they were working for.
He was told of the unquestioned
might of the Republicans with
Charles s. Whitman leading them in
the fight for the Governorship. The
Colonel was impressed with the fact
that Whitman was the logical and
likely Republican nominee. Lest
the party lose further ground and
lest the country committees fight
fully in the dark, the Colonel was
asked to set himself on party record
and lay down definite state policy.
1t was learned thai the Colonel was
asked about his views on a possible
amalgamation with the Republicans
on District Attorney Whitman for
Governor Just what the Colonel
said could not be learned, but il was
plain that Whitman was regarded as
the likely candidate Whether the
Colonel classed Mr. Whitman in the
Human class remained untold. How
ever. the desire of the committee to
be set straight and 70 be given def
mite course in which to steer during
Roosevelt's absence was satisfied.
Anything to defeat Barnes and
to obliterate Barnes policies" 1t was
said. Barnes is against every Pro-
gressive principle and is opposed to
everything we stand for.
The exchange of Endorsements as
decided on at Sycamore Hill tonight
will be advocated in many other
States. SO widespread win be the
idea that it will figure largely in the
Progressive campaign in 1916.
It was further limited tonight that
the Progressives would demand for
their Endorsement of Republican
candidate for Governor, the indorse-
ment by the Republicans of the Pro
gressive candidate for the United
States Senate.

ESSEX COUNTY NOT
TO Join IN HUDSON
RIVER BRIDGE PLAN
Committee Reports Unfavorably
on Project After Conference
With Commission.

Essex county will not take part in
the construction of the proposed
bridge and vehicular tunnels to con-
meet New Jersey and New York city
at a cost of $4,000, 900, of which Essex
county's share is figured at s9,9oO,OOO.
The Board of Freeholdere yesterday
afternoon voted unanimously not to
petition for the appointment of
commission to carry out the plans of
building the bridge, and as this would
have been the first step necessary to
the construction of the bridge, the
plan is dead letter as far as Essex
county Is concerned.
The Essex county committee, con-
sisting OF Director Walter A. Evans,
Supervisor Edward Schickhaus and
Freeholders Richard +. Malta and
Ernest e. Ryman, who attended the
conference with the New Jersey In
terstate Bridge and Tunnel Commits
sion yesterday, had the following re.
port adopted:
After hearing representatives of
other counties at the New York con-
ference it developed that if the Gov
ernor should appoint a new COM
mission under the 1914 act, each of
the five counties concerned-Essex
Hudson, Bergen, Passaic and Union
would be obligated to expend for
preliminary expenses a sum not to
exceed $4,000, and that If the bridge
and tunnel should be built the esti-
mated proportionate expense to
Essex county, as its share, would be
approximately $10,000,000, which your
committee believes would in1noSe an
unfair burden upon Essex County.
your committee believes that such
a bridge and tunnel, If built at all,
would be of greater advantage to the
counties bordering on the Hudson
River than to those like Essex. lying
remote therefrom, and that this
proposition is of vital interest to
every part of the State.
I'VE are opposed to the appoint
ment of a commission and the pro-
posed manner of financing it."

DIES OF INJURIES
Brule County Farmer Dragged by
Frightened Team and Succumbs.

Pukwana, Nov. 25.-At his home
on a farm occurred the death of Pat
rick Rigney, one of the pioneer set
tiers of Brule county. Death resulted
from injuries received when he was
dragged a considerable distance by
horses which he was driving. While
opening a gate he wound the lines
around his hand. The horses became
frightened and ran away, dragging
the old man some distance. He eth
er struck against the hub of a wheel
or the gate post and received an in
Jury to the back OF his head which
caused his death. He located in
South Dakota in the late seventies
and had resided here continuously up
to the time of his death. He was a
veteran of the civil war, having serv-
ed throughout the war in the union
army. During n of the battles he
was pierced by a bayonet, the injury
being such that he was given up for
dead, but by almost a miracle he re-
covered. Following the close OF the
evil war he reenlisted in the United
| States army and say a great deal OF
| service in the Indian campaigns on
| the western frontier. He is surviv-
| ed by a widow and several grown
| children.
