IN Williams BELTZ Case

Superior Court this morning refused
a new trial 10 the plaintiff in the case
Of Williams against Beltz. which was
an action brought by Williams to re-
cover certain moneys which he claim.
ed he had paid over to Beltz for q

he sought TO recover the extra money
paid. At the trial of the case. the
court gave binding instructions to the
jury to return a verdict for the de-
PENDANT. The plaintiff then moved for

the court in its decision this morning
The plaintiff was given until the first
day Of the September term to file eY
ceptions to the decision of the court
refusing a new trial. The same re
fusal was given In the case OF vii
liams against McGinnis.

extra DEMURRAGE adds
TO COST OF POTATOES

Investigation today revealed that
there is good foundation TO the report
that at the present time there are
fifty carloads Of potatoes being held
in the Edge Moor yards Of the p, b..
& W. railroad by dealers.
Railroad officials protested not to
be able to tell whether or not this is
so, although they admitted that there
might be many carloads OF potatoes
on the tracks without their knowl-
edge.
Officials Of the company said that
1t would be as much to their advan-
tage as to anyone's TO uncover this at
tempt at gouglng the public by the
delay In shipment, thus mourning big
demurrage charges, and pointed to the
action Of the road in placing an en-
barge on potatoes shipped to Jersey
City, an action that. it was claimed,
had forced the price Of potatoes down
several dollars per bushel
The same attempt at gouglng was
made in tho Jersey City yards until
the railroad officials clamped down
the embargo. It was said. and IL is
thought that perhaps the dealers -
now turning to Wilmington for a pos
sible place 20 accomplish their ends.
