Chicago, July zl.-More favor

Opening prices ranged from l to

Continued favorable weather con-

December 2.55, and March 2.69.
Corn was easier at the. start be-

AUTO PARTS co.
|TANCLES ORDERS
Fraud Ii Charge In Suit In Moline
City Court BY Fort Madi-
SON Corporation.

That officials Of the s. & s. Shock
Absorber corporation are trying to
sell 100000 worth Of stock on the
strength of contract obtained by
fraud, is the complaint made In a
bill filed in Moline court by the
Starkweather Shook corporation OF
Fort Madison, Iowa.
The purpose Of the bill Is to OBJ
tain cancellation of a contract with
the defendant corporation and to
obtain an injunction restraining the
defendant from starting any suit
against the Starkweather Shook
company. The plaintiff alleges it
is the owner of patents on the S.
& S. automobile shock absorber
and that it owns factories in Fort
Madison and Moline.
On Oct. 80, 1919, the Starkweath-
er Snook corporation made a sales
contract with the New England
Auto Parts company with provis-
ions that the New England COM
pany have the sales agency OF the
shock absorbers.
Subsequently the contract was
transferred to the Allied Automo-
tive corporation of New York. In
April Of this year officials OF the
defendant company came to the Of
fees of the Starkweather Snook
corporation and represented them
! selves as being the owners OF both
. the New England Auto Parts com.
pany and the Allied. Automotive
corporation.
They maintained, according tt
the bill filed here, that the corpor'
alton was organized in Arizona
1 that 100000 worth of stock hat
been subscribed and paid for, ant
that they had orders for 10000
shock absorbers.
So the contract was turned ovel
to the new company, which is the1
alleged to have started selling
stock on the strength of the con
tract instead of the shock absorb
ers.
Thus the plaintiff now declares
1.-THE representations made by the S
& S. Shock Absorber company il
April were false; that no orders TO-
100, 1000 absorbers had been obtain
ed, and that less than SIS, 900 WORT
of stock has been sold. Further
the defendant has made no effor
to abide by the contract and ha
filled 10 orders for shock absorb
ers.
On June 6 the plaintiff notifies
the defendant that the contract wa
abrogated in accordance, it is said
with agreement in the documen
itself.
The Starkweather Shook corpor
alton now wants to engage in tn
business Of manufacturing and sell
ing shock absorbers, but fears tn
defendant will try to obtain in
functions to prevent such business
! c. E. Dietz represents the plain
tiff and C. ]. Searle Of Rock Islam
the defendant. Both sides are sal
to have Offices in Moline.
The attorneys were in court to
day, but Judge G. o. Dietz contin
ued the matter until next Thurs
day. 1t is possible that the cas-
, will be transferred to a fedora
court.
