Once upon a time, when Col. Eva,
then mere ma ajor, was drawing $4,000
a year for keeping down the tempera-
ture of the dear old Commercial club,
the deaf-mutes held a convention in
Duluth. Some Of the live wires in the
Commercial club thought it would be
the proper and polite thing to give the
visitors an automobile ride through
the more attractive sections Of the city
and around the boulevard, For some
reason, secretary Eva approved of the
plan and did his utmost to make it a
success.
Prominent citizens, being satisfied
with getting their names in the daily
papers as their only reward, appeared
with their automobiles, into which they
loaded the ideaf-mute visitors and then
showed them what Duluth really
looked like. a-ar*-.r- ..t .-ra- h. i-
The last car was that chocolate col

of honest witnesses, clever lawyers
and much determination on their own
part, the plaintiffs proved to the salts
faction of Judge Cant that friend
Harris had double-crossed them and
played both ends against the middle,
although standing in solemn position
of trustee. -.r'
Harris, it seems, represented that he
was making only $4,000 and that his
profits would be permitted to stay in
the business as payment of some Of
the fee for himself. The court now
finds that Harris was guilty of STRAIT
egy, camouflage and Hunnish decep-
tion in that he and associates really
made $4,000 more than he claimed or
admitted. In his findings as to fact,
the court declared, in short, that the
plaintiffs were induced to buy in ig-
norance Of the real facts in the deal.
Judge Cant appointed Harvey
Hoshour as receiver with bonds fixed
at $4,000. He decreed that Harris
should return interests to the extent
of about $4,000. It was held that
Harris secret profits amounted to an
1880 interest, and that Arthur ,Jaco
by must surrender a ALSO interest,
which he possesses, and for which he
paid nothing, possibly holding and
camouflaging the interest for Harris.
In his defense, defendant Harris al
legged that Jacoby got the interest for
help he gave in putting through the
deal.
Judge Cant decided that plaintiffs
should have sums returned to them,
Individually and respectively, as fol-
lows: Ben r. Goldberg, $3,333.33; M.
Becklinger, $1,666.66; John A. Todd,
$1O,331S7;* o. A. Olson, $333.33; N.
7. Benson. $1,666.66: Ophelia s.
Leithead, 1888 .33; Gilbert seashore,
$333.33.
The interests in the name Of Harris
and Jacoby shall be sold by the re-
ceiver and the proceeds applied in ac-
cordance with the decree Of the court.
Interest from March l, 1913, also shall
be figured in.
After expressing his findings Of
fact and his conclusions Of law, Judge
Cant added his memorandum as fol-
lows, viz:

FRED HARRIS PLAYS HIGH FINANCE
General Superintendent Of Zenith Blast Interests Duluth Capitalists
Deal in KansasJudge Cant Decides That Secret Profits Of Fifty
Thousand Dollars Were Not Honest Business

A recent decision by Judge Cant, in
the district court, illustrated and en-
phasized the old saying, GA sucker is
born every minute" and coil specu-
lation is slippery game"
The decision was handed down in
favor Of the plaintiffs and very much
against the defendants, in the case of
Ben T. Goldman, Max Becklinger,
Benson, Mrs. Ophelia Leithead against
R. j. Pryor; G. II. Martin, Fred Tudor,
Fred G. Harris, Arthur Jacoby, Albert
Harris and E. s. Cosgrove.
The story is one of exceedingly
high finance, in which Fred G. Harris
eventually comes cropper. Mr.. Har-
ris, it may be noted, is general super
intendent Of the Zenith Furnace COM
pany, and always has stood in high
repute in this peculiar little city by
the unsalted sea.
Back in the, fateful year of 1913,
R. ]. Pryor, G. Fl. Martin and Fred
Tudor, a trio of speculative knights
from the bleeding state of Kansas, Sc
cured an option on 100 acres Of oil
land heavily in the producing stage.
Kansas City suckers would not bite,
therefore the dauntless three came to
dear old Duluth, the easiest mark on
the continent for bold financial
raiders.
Even in Duluth, this scheming trio
failed to fill their sucker trap. Fin
ally, in some way, they got in contact
with Fred G. Harris. He began to
skirmish around with such force and
effect that he lined up bunch of in
vestors who jumped greedily at the
chance to buy the oil land fee for
100000.
If the writer's simple mind under
stands the story Alright, the land
really cost the trio from the Sun.
flower state only $3.50, 1000, less a COM
mission Of $4,000. It seems that they
proposed to Harris that he help them
work through deal for 100000 and
they would split profits with him.
Harris put in few thousand dollars
of his own money and eventually lined
up grand group of Duluth capitalists
and Spectators, if not suckers. In
due course, they suspected that all
was not as alleged by Harris and his
three Kansas chums. With the help
The Duluth rip-saw. [volume] (Duluth, Minn.) 1917-19??, 1919-09-06

fendant Harris must suffer, if at all,
largely because Of his association with
them. He was more or less drawn into
the affair and would not of himself
have originated any such scheme.
GAS things 60, however, observes
Judge Cant as his memorandum un.
folds, "and they are much too com
mon, it is impossible to avoid the con-
clusion that all the defendants named
in the pleadings were acting together
in the prosecution of common under
taking, which involved the absorption
Of secret profit, and that the act
Of each must be considered as the act
of all. The courts would be quite too
simple if, under the evidence here,
they should reach any other conclu-
sion. Under the law, the parties de-
scribed may recover the amount Of the
secret profit so absorbed.
-. "There have been certain argu-
ments. in : this case which make it
proper to observe that in every bust
ness transaction each party thereto
has a right to rely on the business in
tegrity of the other when the latter
invites such reliance. That is espe-
cially true in such transaction as we
have here. Reading some authorities
would lead one to believe that if two
parties are but strangers, or are deal
ing at arms length, as it is said, they
owe no duty to each other and may
overreach and plunder at will. This
is bad morals, out Of date, and is not
the law. We are getting farther away
from such standards every day. All
should so understand and should gov
ern themselves accordingly. When
such matters as these here involved
are brought to light before the courts,
parties interested may confidently
hope that the proper remedy will be
applied.
"Under the foregoing rules, the de-
fendant Harris is under obligation to
respond to the plaintiffs in satisfac-
faction of their respective claims. +"
Mr.. Harris owns and occupies the
famous booze bungalow formerly built
and occupied by "Big Bill" Adams,
out near Clifton on the D. & I. R.
Those charitably inclined, lean to the
belief that the former atmosphere may
cling to the premises, and that the iron
master has, unconsciously, had his
business ethics impaired thereby.
