Renders Decision,

ooo6S SAAoSh "
in the Equity mandamus proceedings
last night by ordering h writ. He
held with the plaintiffs that the de-
defendant corporation must establish
beyond a doubt that there was q con-
spiracy, although the attorneys for the
Equity had asked hat it be decided
according to the preponderance Of the
evidence.
Judge Pollock, however, placed re-
strictions around the decision which
will bar the petitioners from giving
the results to the press or from pub
fishing them. Counsel for the two
parties are left to decide and agree
upon the condition of the eXamina-
ton.
No Conspiracy Shown.
Judge Pollock held that, while the
evidence adduced had shown that
there was an active and intense an
tagonism on the part Of the chamber
Of commerce, the Equity exchange had
not established beyond a doubt that
this action was part of a conspiracy.
In announcing his decision Judge
Pollock said that If the publications
shown to have been distributed and
sent out by the Minneapolis Cham
Der of Commerce were false, as claim
ed by the Equity Exchange, and as
the testimony introduced by the So
ciety tended to show, they ought to
bring an action for damages against
the Chamber and it's agents.
Arguments Presented.
The attorneys on both sides In the
attempt of certain of the stockholders
access to the books Of the concern had
finished their arguments. Attorney
Mum for the Equity and Judge En-
gerud for the plaintiffs made the ar
guments.
Mr.. Munn's speech was a summing
up of the evidence introduced to show
that the ostensible plaintiffs in the
case were not the real parties and the
entire proceeding was for the pur-
had been fostered by the chamber Of
commerce at Minneapolis through
Editor Adams of the Cooperative
Manager and Farmer. He declared
that the information which the plain
tiffs were asking for was not for leg
itimate purposes, but in order to throw
the Equity into bankruptcy and to
embarrass them at the beginning of
the crop-moving season.
Judge Engcrud's Plea.
Judge Engerud. in an imprisoned
speech which bristled with sarcasm
and irony, made light of the claims Of
conspiracy and declared that there
was r%ottenness in the corporation, that
it was a one-man corporation, that
their books were not properly kept,
and by admissions made by their own
witnesses and directors improper
things were done inc the bylaws not
complied with.
He charged that they had inflated
their assets and boosted their inven-
tories. and held assets. which were
known to be worthless as rood an
order to show a net profit Of $500. He
charged that their letters sent in re-
ply to Greenield's demands for in
formation were those Of promoters
and did not give the SPECIFIC infor-
nation asked for by the complainant,
who was entitled to this information
by reason Of his being a stakeholder,

In reminiscent talk Munroe had

worth knowing, from Mrs. Pankhurst

he was clearly outclassed, and he felt
1t keenly He had always shone in

Munroe had him down. Suddenly,
however, his face became illuminated
with hope. Ever meet the president
Munroe?"
We'll, no, Judson; I'm sorry to say
I have never met Mr.. Wilson-that is,
as yet. admire him greatly, but
every time I've been in Washington
he's been off travelling somewhere
Did you ever meet him?"
"Oh, yes" announced Judson
proudly. MET him only short tim,
ago"
'Where?"
"On the links"
did you engage in conversation
with him?"
"Well-er-in way. yes. That is
he spoke to me-"
Really? What did he say?"

look forward each year to Pie Day
at Maxwell may begin to make ready
for the event. The date set is Sep

At OTHING more unusual than our
~ old and honored friend in straw,
the leghorn hat, is employed in max
ing this piece of real millinery, in
which exquisite design is matched
with exquisite workmanship.
An unusually clever milliner might
evolve almost an exact copy of this
hat from one of those fine old-fash-
ioned leghorn flats" which we have al.
ways known. She would have to sub
stitute caplike crown of rice net or
buckramette for the original crown,
cut away an inch and half from the
edge, and use the cutaway strip for
bordering the underbrim and mount
to brim on the crown with the re-
quired extra headsize net cut out at
the front and right side.
Preparing shape in this way is
not an easy matter, but the shape once
obtained is easy enough to trim. In
asmuch as the upper brim and the top
crown are covered with lace this is an
excellent model to choose for making
over a fiat" of leghorn that has be-
come discolored or sunburned.
