 King of Smith Silver Go.

Charges that Supt. George Itty of the E. H. H. Smith Silver Co., sold part of the factory's output below the market value to some firms are made by Henry J. Eckert of Waterv1iet, \. Y, a stockholder, who succeeded yesterday in obtaining an Injunction preventing the proposed sc-Ge of the plant.
 Eckert also criticises the acts of Receiver John T. King, claiming that the receiver was careless and negli- gent in handling the affairs of the company. Attorney s. D. Bowers, Kings counsel, expained that his client did not lpersonally take charge of the factory as he thought he had selected a capable man to direct things there
 In the petition filed by FZckert upon which the United States District Court granted the injunction, the petitioner says he owns 30 shares of Smith Co. preferred stock and three shares of common. He claims the company's assets are in danger of waste and he asks the court to appoint a federal receiver.
 In the Superior Court yesterday afternoon Attorney Bowers told Judge Curtis that inasmuch as King had been appointed receiver by that court, no attention should be paid to the District Courts injunction. Judge Curtis advised counsel that it would be better not to hold the public sale of the plant next Monday in view of the fact that the District Court had issued an injunction.
 It Is understood that counsel for Receiver King will make a motion next week to have the injunction dis
