SHORT ADDRESSES MADE

Perfect in every deta' and marked
with a spirit of genuine enthusiasm
was the magnificent bano ct rendered
last night at the Ogletho 9e by Pres
1dent Theo. Hemmelmann If the Var
yam Rosin and Turpentina company,
complimentary to James S Bradley,
that splendid-Brunswick so he
says.
The dinner was originally heduled
to occur at 8 O'Clock, but because
OF the coming to town last light of
THE Garden of Allah" the ho.r was
changed to 6 o'clock. 1t was . very
delightful affair and, being in! lded
to signalize the final reorganizat ~ of
the Yaryan company and the &c ual
passing over of the properties of tho
old concern to these of the new, it
was naturally an occasion of much en-
thuslasnl on the part of those present
The readers of The News are famil-
lar largely with the litigation, ttc.,
that has beset the Yaryan people
since it's failure two and one-half years
ago
To start with dissention arose in
the ranks of the stockholders it
broadened with each new development
until finally two separate factions, the
one headed by James S. Bradley and
the other by various Toledo interests,
were fighting for control This fight
was carried into every federal court
it could possibly reach, being finally
determined by the supreme court of
the United States. Brunswick people
vitalay interested adopted the watch
full waiting" policy, now so familiar to
American readers, and after being con-
vinced that Mr.. Bradley was right,
they pinned their faith to him and
fought behind him through all of the
legal battles in which he has engaged.
Many obstacles have appeared and to
the man with less hope and less opti-
mism than Mr.. Bradley possesses long
ago would the fight have been aban-
doned and this splendid piece of prop
erty would have been lost to Bruins
wick and to it's stockholders
The plan evolved by MIR. Bradley not
only provides for taking care of all
of the old stockholders who would
come come into the new organization,
paying dollar for dollar to all credi-
tors, but it provcides that they shall
receive interest on their claims With
a market gone with a product quoted
at from three to four dollars less per
barrel than it could be made for, the
task looked hopeless, but Bradley
fought on, and the dinner last night
marked his triumph and stamped him
as one of the most remarkable and re-
sourceful and indefatigable workers
who has ever successfully run the
gauntlet of the federal courts of two
states.
AS stated above, last nights delight
full affair was complimentary to Mr..
Bradley on the part of the new pres
ident of the Yaryan Rosin and Turpen-
tine company, and the host of the eve
/ hing Mr. Theo. Hemmelmann, Jr., of
ST. Louis, invited to share the hon
ors of the evening with Mr.. Bradley
many Brunswickians who have been
in touch with the situation 1t in
cluded lawyers, members of the cred
itols' committee, the commissioners,
the officers of the court, representa-
tives of the city council and of the
various banks and, in fact, of every
Brunswick industry which in any way
was related to the Yaryan interests
during its fight for life.
The dinner was served in the spa
cious dining room of the Oglethorpe
and the menu was distinct credit to
Manager Jaeckel for its almost per-
feet arrangement and for the splen-
did service that characterized it.
Out-of-Town Visitors.
Among the out-of-town guests were
the following: President l. E. Knisely,
of the Northern National bank, Tole-
do, who at one time was not in SYM
pathy with the Bradley faction, but
later on, finding out that all of the
