MELzER & GOULD
IN LEGAL FIGHT
FORMER SUES LATTER FOR
$4,000 DAMAGES FOR BREACH i
OF CONTRACT.
TEMPORARY INJUNCTION TO
h STOP SUNDAY SHOWS
b.. DENiED'

s Friction between Theo. Meier
owner of the Lyric and Crystal Thea
tres, and Jay E. Gould, who for several
months has been running moving
picture show at the Turner Hall
Theatre has eliminated in law suit
which no doubt will be tried at the May
term of the District Court of Brown
County. Mr.. Melzer claims that when
he purchased the Crystal Theatre
from Jay E. Gould and paid him the
sum of $4,000 for the equipment and
also assumed the balance of the lease
of the Crystal Theatre that it was
understood and agreed between him
and Mr.. Gould that the purchase price
Included the good will of the Crystal
Theatre and that Mr.. Gould would
forever remain out of the moving
picture field in the city of New Ulm.
This Mr.. Gould denies. He claims
that there was no such understanding
that the matter of his not operating a.
moving picture show house in New
Ulm in the future was never even
mentioned. The New Ulm Turn
verein who owns the show house where
Mr.. Gould now shows his moving
pictures has been made party to the
suit.
Gould Victor In First Round.
Last Saturday the first skir1nish in
the legal battle took place when the
matter of securing a temporary in
junction to prevent the Turnverein
and Mr.. Gould from continuing their
shows at the Turner Hall Theatre was
heard before Judge Olsen on an order
to show cause why a temporary in
junction should not be granted.
At the hearing on the temporary in
junction, Judge Olsen on the same day
filed an order denying the plaintiff s
request for temporary injunction.
The order reads as follows: ....
The Judges Order.
'This is a motion by the plaintiff for
temporary injunction to restrain the
defendants during the pendency Of the
action from opera ting moving picture
show in the Turner Hall in the City of
New Ulm. The motion was heard be-

on the hearing and counter afidavits

COUNTY POLITICS.

Politics in Brown County are liven-
ing up little bit as indicated by the
filings of candidates for some of the
county Offices. However, from the
filings so far made it does not appear
that there is a county wide political
scrimmage as yet. The offices most
sought after seem to be those of Coun-
ty Commissioner. For the Third
district, three candidates have so fa1
made their candidacy known. They
are Otto Wiedenmann, Theodore
Mueller and Rudolph Marti, all Of

program consisting of songs, vaudeville

will be made to insure a good attend
ance and also to secure a few young

35c and the usual 25c admission for the

this week to sell season tickets. Any

holds good for the $50 and $.35 re-
served seats. Special efforts will be
made to reach German speaking com
munities within auto distance Of the
City and thus insure full houses every
time. .

WASHINGTON, May % Adminis-
tration Intervention into railroad rate
problems, as instanccd most recently
in President IIarding's dinner confer
cncc with carrier executives, has dis
closed the close relationship between
these and problems Of railroad pay
scales and railroad financing, it was in
dicated to-day at tho White House.
Railroad managcments, it was said,
while voiclng approval Of the general
propose that rates be brought down in
the interests Of general business bet
torment and expansion of enterprise,
have taken the opportunity to tell their
own troubles with wage scales which
they consider too high, With the fnanc-
ing Of now equipment and repair of old
and the maintenance and bettcrment of
their lines. The result is saiG 10 leave
President Harding hopeful, however,
that tangible immediate reductions can
be obtained.
Railroad executives were told by the
President and Secretary Hoover at the
Saturday night conference if they
would leave class rates practically un-
changed at existing levels they could

Commerce Commission and at once cut
sharply existing charges on coal, iron,

This, in the Adm inistration view,
would remove burdens which have
acted to rctard the wheels Of commerce
and at the same time leave high rates
on traffic, which can bear the burden.

railroads regard the proposals with
favor but others look With concern on
the plan as compromising a reduction

the latter are listed the coal roads"
Rail earnings in the East have de-

was argued by railroad managers, while
Western roads are still al low earning

President Harding was understood to
