COHALAN DENIES WRIT;
ADVISES OTHER COURSE
Assures Adequate Remedy
Without Injunction.

In a report of q decision by Supreme
Court Justice Cohalan, published in THE
NEW YoRx HERALD yesterday. part of a
statement by Arthur II. Lamoorn was
attributed to the court.
The decision was made In the action
brought by El Reno Grocery Company
against Lamborn & Co., sugar importers,
and others. to restrain the importers
from collecting on letters of credit de-
posted to assure payment on sugar con-
tracts. The petitioners for the injunc-
tions contended that the contracts had
been broken because the sugar was
shipped in a vessel other than the one
specified in the agreement. whereas the
defendants asserted that the attempted
reputation Of the contracts was due to
the reduction in the price Of sugar.
Justice Cohalan said. In denying the
injunctive relief: There are before the
court twenty-four motions for injunc-
lions pendente lite in equity cases
brought for the cancellation OF certain
contracts for the sale of sugar which the
plaintiffs have attempted to rescind. The
decision of this application Is decisive
of the twenty-three other motions.
ITO enjoin the defendants from, COL
lecting upon a letter of credit estab-
lished In their favor. because the plain
tiff alleges there is dispute, default or
breach by the defendants of the contract.
is for the court TO make a new, different
and distinct agreement between the par
ties herein This the court Is not pre-
pared 70 do.
I'm my opinion the plaintiffs have an
adequate remedy at law and there are
no substantial reasons shown for invok-
ing the extraordinary remedy Of an in
junction order. The plaintiffs motion
Is denied and the injunction vacated

The disbanding OF an unusually large
number of touring theatrical shows. due
to the fact that business has been poor

before Christmas is an off, time, Is
leaving many actors high. and what Is
worse, dry In Broadway. But this great
influx of jobless players, who fill UP the
thoroughfare so thickly the ticket specu-

trade with real money and are daily
growing more angry, has meant easy

In presenting the Governments case
Mr.. Harper said the partners and close
business associates Of Herman Slelcken

action. The defence claimed Sielcken,
as an American citizen residing In Ger
many. advanced the money used by DR..
Rumely in the purchase Of the news
paper.
"sielclen had s1.25o,6oo in American
banks" Harper argued. and instead Of

That Paid It

In reply to a letter from James Langan,
president of the Chief Officers Associa-
ton of the Fire Department expressing
appreciation for the recent increase in
pay granted to the firemen by the Board
of Estimate, Mayor Hylan yesterday de-
clared that the increase was scarcely
commensurate with the meritorious SER

cost OF living" He said. however, that
II was the peoples money that was voted
away and that consideration alone limited
the amount granted

administration" said the Mayor, Ito grant
increases to all faithful and hardworlking
city employees, whose only possible advan-
tage over private employees is the proba-
bility OF permanent tenure of office. II is
only just that there should be an upwa rtl
revision of the salaries of city employees
to meet the rising cost of living and in
order that they may enjoy the American
standard OF living.

Rccognizance, Agreeing to APP
pear When Wanted.

Two contempt cases against Charles L.
Craig. City Controller. came up in court
yesterday. Mr.. Craig appeared before
Judge Mayer. in United States District
Court, in compliance with an order to
show cause why he should not be punished

on condition that he appear whenever
Judge Mayer may consider It necessary.
Ben A. Matthews. Assistant United
States Attorney. asked that the defendant
be held on his own recognizance or in
the custody of his counsel, whereupon
Edmund l. Mooney, attorney for Mr.
Craig, remarked
I'VE are not here to ask for any courtesy
and II the District Attorneys office thinks
that the Controller of the city of New
York is subject to treatment handed out
to felons he Will be very much mistaken q
Judge Mayer said he would permit Mr.
Craig to go on his own recognizance. Mr.
Craig thereupon left the court room
Mr.. Mooney moved that the complaint
be squashed. After listening to argument
Judge Mayer denied the motion and ad.
Journed the case to next Saturday.
In the Appellate Division Of the Supreme
Court, Brooklyn, Mr. Craig's appeal from a
recent decision of Justice Manning, finins
him $50 for alleged contempt, was urged.
The contempt charge grew out of the sale
of corporate bonds of the city in alleged
violation Of an injunction issued by JUS
tce Cropsey. Decision was reserved
