Mayor Keigley at 2 o'clock, Monday
afternoon, was continued to Wednes-

implement prices reached their peak
in 1920, according to a survey an.
nounced today by the Ohio Division Of
Markets.
with the coming of the present
season, there has been a very evident
purpose on the part of implement
manufacturers to reduce the price Of
their output so that it will harmonize
better with the price Of the farmer Is
receiving for his produce" the report
continued. Leaders in the making
of tractors, which play an important
part in farm life, have. announced
drops Of 40 percent or more in the
sale price. Corn planters, another
much needed piece of machinery, IL
cattle and live stock are to be fed,
have been reduced 40 percent by some
manufacturers, to As percent by 9th.

with the decline in the prices OF

Affair. OF Knox Tire { Rub
Der. Go. Aired Today
Before Referee
TRANSACTIONS OF
EX-PREST. GIVEN
Matter Comes Up When
Frantz Presents Claim For
Repairs To His Auto

Interesting proceedings In the af-
fairs Of the Knox Tire 4 Rubber Co.
occurred at o'clock Monday after.
noon before Referee Robert M. Greer
when claim Of q. e. Frantz, ex.
president Of the company, In the sum
Of $1,469.17, was presented but was
hotly contested by Judge Frank o.
Levering, attorney for stockholders
Of the company. ~
The claim of Frantz for $1469.17
covered bill for the rebuilding and
repais to his automobile, which he
claims was sanctioned by the former
board of directors of the company.
A Mr.. Frantzs claim was presented
by Barton w. Blair. q.
Judge F. o. Levering, on behalf of
certain stockholders, opposed the
payment of the claim for the reason
that the repairs to Frantz's automo-
bile did not benefit the Knox Tire &
Rubber Co., but on the other hand
Frantz had the automobile repaired
for his personal use.
A counter claim presented by Judge
lowering brought out some interest
ing developments, which are alleged
to have occurred in the affairs of the
company at date starting back in
August, 1919.
The testimony showed that when
the Knox Tire & Rubber Co. was or.
ganized, each of the five promoters
agreed that the company should be
incorporated for $4,000 and that
each should subscribe the sum of ST.
900 each. Later, after the organiza-
tion of the Knox Tire & Rubber Co.
and the election of the board of dt
rectors, it was decided to increase
the incorporation from $4,000 to ST.
100000 and later this was increased
to $2,OOO,0O0. These applications to
increase the stock were approved by
the securities department of Ohio, 1t
is claimed.
The testimony presented by Judge
The Democratic banner. (Mt. Vernon, Ohio) 1898-192?, 1922-03-28

Levering this afternoon showed that
when the first 100000 was sold, the
promoters would offer as bonus Ave
shares of common stock valued at SO
per share.
These applications to increase the
capital stock were made on August
+, 1919, and on March 6, 1920. AS the
stock was increased the bonus shares
Of common we're reduced to four and
then to three shares.
According to the testimony pre-
sented by Judge Levering, B. E.
Frantz, then president of the COM
pany, on February IA, 1920, signed
for 1870 shares Of preferred stock, for
which he was to receive 900 shares of
common stock as bonus. 1t is alleged
land Judge Levering produced the
notes at the hearing this afternoon)
that Frantz gave his note for $13,50O
as balance due on the 1870 shares Of
stock and then two days later gave
his note for $45OO, which was sup
posed to have been the amount OF
cash he should have paid when he
purchased the 1S0 shares Of stock.
Judge Levering held that this trans.
action was illegal.
Judge Levering claimed further IL
legal transactions on the part OF
Frantz when he stated that as the
bond statesmen sold stock in the Knox
Tire & Rubber Co., credits were
placed on the back of Frantz's two
notes until they were paid out, and
in addition the bond statesmen were
paid 10 per cent commission out ol
4, the funds of the company, which, &C
cording to Judge Levering, was an il
legal transaction.
The testimony further showed, ac
cording to facts presented by Judge
Levering, that as the bonus Of com
mon stock was reduced from to
shares, Frantz is alleged to have kept
the difference for his own private
use, about "a shares in all. Judge
Levering held that the commission
paid the bond statesmen amounted tc
$500 and Frantzs' share arising from
the reduction in the bonus stock
amounted to another $500, or about
$4,000 which he alleges Frantz wrong
/ fully received and for which he
should account.
Judge Levering further holds that
Oh April 10, 1920, Frantz subscribed
for another 5000 and that he went
through the same procedure as or
the former purchase of stock unit
his indebtedness to the company
amounted to between $4,000 and IS,
900 on this transaction.
Judge Levering therefore stated tc
Referee Greer that instead of the
stockholders being indebted to Franti
for the repairs made to his automo
, bile. Frantz is indebted to the Knoa
Tire & Rubber Co. in a sum reach
ing approximately $4,000.
