Recovering Full Amount
Of Judgment.
JACK LEISHMAN A WITNESS

John G. A. Leishman. Jr. known as
Jack Leishman. only son of the ex-
Ambassador TO Germany. was examined
before Supreme Court Justice Weeks
yesterday as n witness in the supplement
tar proceedings brought against his
father to enable the Stock Exchange firm
Of Raymond Pynchon & Co. to determine
whether ex-Ambassador Leishman has
any property which may be applied on
a judgment for s75,l5s representing the
result OF Mr.. Leishman's Improbable

was going in November. 1912. Ambas-
sador Leishman was stationed in Berlin

The application for an order for the

under a section OF the law providing that
any person believed to have property of a
judgment debtor may be called as a wit
ness to determine whether he has such
property. Young Leishman was repre-
scented by ex-Justice Morgan J. O'Brien as
counsel. Judge O'Brien objected fire.
quently to the questioning OF Jack Leish-
man by Ralph Wolf of Hays. Hershfield &
Wolf. and In many cases his objections
were sustained.
II was learned yesterday that the bond
fixed by Justice Weeks for Martin C.
Ansorge, appointed receiver for Lelsh-
mans property. is only $4,000, which in
dicates that the creditors have little hope
Of collecting the total amount of the judg-
ment.
Jack Leishman testified under the ques-
tioning OF Mr. Wolf that he mas no place
OF business in this country, but makes his
home In Paris, where his mother is now
living. The examination In part was as

was where? A. In Panama.

America he IL in now? A. think he is
In Brazil

sisters. Mrs James HaZen Hyde and tn,
Duchess OF Croy, regarding trust fund
held by the Union T:ust Company OF
Pittsburg the income of which he said H.
had received up TO october. 1912. lie
said that he had signed "A paper but did
not know what was In II. After signing

the keys were refused they would breal;

than severe reprimand.

CANNERY MEN WILL
q CONTRACT FOR SEEDS

Z. b. Cloud, of the Cloud. Newton
Company which is establishing the pew
local .cannery. has evolved a scheme
whereby local growers will be able 10
experiment with vegetables for the
eannery and make profit out of the
experiments, although the eannery will
not attempt to can vegetables until
next season.
Mr.. Cloud desires to contract for an
aggregate Of about 60 acres of seed
peas and beans in various parts of the
valley. Free seed Of the various vari.
cites desired of peas and beans will be
supplied the growers. Each grower
who takes these seeds is to contract 10
plant certain acreage, either between
trees or IN solid block, and grow seed
exclusively. At harvest time Mr..
Cloud will purchase all the seed raised
on these various plots at a price TO be
established on the signing Of the con-
tract.
by growing for seed in this way,"
said Mr.. Cloud TO a Glacier representa-
tive, "local farmers will be educated
IN growing vegetables in large quanti-
ties; at the same time we will be able
to accurately judge what varieties will
do best here for the cannery and what
localities are best for certain things.
From my very brief observations | am
convinced that the Upper Valley is 60
ing to prove an ideal section for peas
and beans. Hardy vegetables of all
kinds should grow to perfection in that
superb soil. have never seen a better
soil for vegetables outside of the silt
soils of the river bottoms.
Hood River soil and climate have
given your vegetables and fruits a fla
vor that | have never seen surpassed
anywhere. And this is one of the prin-
opal reasons we came here to establish
our cannery. In this connection | want
to give your Commercial club all the
credit that is due for getting and keep
ing US here. We experienced a great
deal of trouble at first in securing
suitable site and at one stage we had
concluded to abandon all thoughts of
locating here. We would have given
everything up had it not been for the
Commercial club. The support given
US by this organization has been most
encouraging and | want to tell you this
is one of the most wide awake institu-
tions of its kind | have ever come
across.
Getting back to seeds, any grower
who desires to take up this seed con-
tract can communicate with me at the
Hotel Oregon or with the secretary of
the Commercial club. Contracts will
have to be closed within the next two
weeks"
Construction work on the new can
merry will begin next week. The struc-
ture will be two story building, built
of reinforced concrete and will be 10.
