A.D.T. Share Owners
Sue Western Union
To Get $2,737,263
Extra Dividends Voted
and Messenger Company
Stripped of Resources by
Deals, Are Allegations

An action to compel the Western
Union Telegraph Company to pay ST.
1928 to the American District Tele-
graph Company was filed in the Su-
preme Court yesterday by Edith M.
Tuttle and John A. Middleton, owners
OF sixty and 200 shares, respectively, Of
the latter company.
The Western Union owns 80,515
shares of the outstanding 99,642 of the
American District Telegraph, having
acquired control in 1902 and placed in
control of the affairs of the American
company, known as the A. D. t., Of
ficials and employees of the Western
Union. The smaller company origi-
nally gave messenger service and
later developed fire, burglar and
sprinkler alarm service. The agree
ment was that 76 6-10 per cent of the
receipts were to be credited to operat-
ing expenses and % 4-10 per cent was
to go to the A. D. t. the net receipts
above $500,OOO to be divided equally.
1t is alleged by the plaintiffs, who
also are suing for other stockh olders,
that through the management of the
affairs by the Western Union, the lat
ter has benefited financially through
the voting of extra dividends on A. D.
7. stock and by other means. while the
A. d. T. has been stripped Of it's cash
IeooulceS ana oeeli conlPelleu 70 Dor
row money from the Western Union.
"At the present time" said the com
plant of Miss Tuttle and Mr. Middle
ton, "because of the Western Union
Telegraph Company's want of care and
its self-enrichment through payment of
extra dividends, the American District
Telegraph Company is without cash re-
sources, without adequate facilities to
develop properly the signal business,
without means required for necessary
extension of its property and indebted
to the Western Union for moneys
loaned.
"Moreover the American District
Telegraph Company is now deprived Of
all revenue from it's messenger service,
except $2O,280 paid temporarily, and
its earning capacity and good will are
greatly impaired"
1t is alleged that in 1914 there was
an agreement under which the rental
of the A. d. T. was fixed at S387,50
year for five years from 1912 In Sep
tember, 1918, the Western Union mott
fed the A. d. T. that because of extra
operating expenses due to the in
creased cost of labor and material, the
directors of the A. d. T., being Western
Union men, had agreed to take no
rental until 1922, it being alleged that
the A. D. T. is now being operated for
the benefit of the Western Union. The
minority stockholders of the A. D. T. !
company protested against this ar
arrangement an,i succeeded in getting
an agreement for the payment of $780,
800 a year by the Western Union,
which took back s1o5,oo0 paid by it in
advance on the former yearly rental
Of $3S7,50O. Miss Tuttle and Mr. Mid
dleton ask that the Western Union be
compelled to pay the latter amount as
agreed. They also ask that the de-
fcndant company be ordered to pay
over $400,000 being $4,000 a year for
five years, when that amount was de-
Quoted by the Western Union as rep
resenting accruing depreciation over
the actual charges of reconstruction.

Mrs. Seed Fined for Theft


Mrs. Susan T. D. Seed, chiropractor
who alarmed her friends ten DAYS ago
by her mysterious absence from her
home at the Nevada apartments, Broad
way and Seventieth Street, was fined
500 yesterday in Special Sessions as a
shoplifter.- She was arraicned under
the name of Susan Condor. She pleaded
guilty to stealing goods valued at $4S
from James McCreery g. Co. She paid
the fine.
James Murray, cher attorney, told
the court that he thought the boldness
with which Mrs. Seed took the goods
from the counter indicated that she
was suffering from mental weakness.
To a suggestion by Justice Kernochan
that his client be taken to Bellevue
for observation, Mr. Murray replied
that he had no intention of entering a
plea Of insanity.

men could be reached" He ewas given
the money, and the police threupon were
declared to have "listened to reason"
thereafter.
The usual procedure, according TO
this authority, was something like this:
A policeman would arrest woman
Of the streets, charging her with act
ing as a disorderly character. On tax
ing her to the police station, however,
he would appear to pity her and sug-
gest that she see this lawyer.
"I'll let him know about your case
if you wish," the friendly policeman
was quoted as saying.
When the lawyer appeared he Usually
named $500 as the cost Of "springing"
the prisoner, which. in the vocabulary
release on q writ Of habeas corpus,
or actual exoneration before q court.
The sum named, it was explained, chad
to be split several ways" and the law
yer got little Of 1t.
Following such an arrangement the
lawyer usually ss-questioned the po-
liceman, who appeared as the complain
ing witness, severely for "arresting an
innocent woman" The policeman was
then expected to wilt under this treat
mcnt and admit that he had little or
no evidence against the prisoner, re-
sulting in her discharge by the court.
Mrs. Mulyado added q wealth Of de-
tail to this story, saying that if the
lawyer knew the woman he would ac-
cept her bank book as evidence Of her
readiness and ability to pay. If he
did not, she said, he insisted on OBJ
tanning cash in advance. "
Mrs. Mulyado Talks Arain
'If woman paid the $500 and got
out she usually was left alone for about
two months" said Mrs. Mulyado. "Then
she was arrested again. 1t was sup
posed that this would give her an op-
portunity to make about $500 more"
Mrs. Mulyado ridiculed the statement
of Gunson that he did not know her
and had had nothing to do with her
except as he might any other member
of the underworld.
:, Why. l know that man by heart" "
she said. "Of course knew that he
was married. I saw him with his wife
once. But he said that he wasn't liv-

Hashish Seized ON Shin

: The opium squad of the customs
service yesterday, aboard the Ameri-
can steamship West Point, from the
Pir@us. seized a small quantity Of
hashish that had been smuggled aboard
by iremen.
The drug, which consisted of eighteen
cakes, was purchased in Greece for
about $225. Officers of the West Point
smeiled the drug when the vessel was
in the Mediterranean, and William
Holmes, boatswain. found it in a
locker after the ship had passed Gibral-
tar. The find was reported to the Gus
toms officials by the master. Two men
of the crew were held for investigation.

Vice Squad Causes Clash

A reform movement is sweeping over
Orange, N. j., with Isaac Shoenthal.
Director of Public Safety, at it's head.
Commissioner Shoenthall has named
four former Police Department de-
tectives of that town as members of
vice squad, and they already have be-
gun work without notification being
sent to Police Chief Drabell The re-
suit has been serious breach between
Drabell and Shoenthall.
Several raids were made in Orange
recently by men from the prosecutors
office in Newark without consultation
with the local police, and the belief
that other gambling houses are still in
operation is responsible for the ap
pointment of the vice squad.

A Gibe or a Joke
Is Not a Jest
When It Hurts

Such distinguished English con-
versationalists as Sydney Smith
and Charles Lamb and others of
their days were famous for witty
things that were sometimes done
up In capsules which revealed a
bitter taste.
Sometimes people who are
smart in many things and apt in
speech indulge in what has be-
come habit and hurt others
without meaning it.
Oftentimes a good friend is
driven off and lost without the
loser knowing the reason why,
and greatly to the silent distress
of both parties.
Real friendships are too scarce
to be thus easily broken.
So far as we know, the merchan-
disc we sell does not contain any
sudden bites.
