Plan Fight Over
Bath Iron Works

Bath, Me-, Oct 10.-A peculiar twist
to the passing of the plant of the Bath
Iron Works with it's merchandise and
equipment to New York group head
ed by Theodore Friedberg, took place
this afternoon when Louis Hymoff,
also of New York, took steps to pre-
vent the passing of the merchandise
and equipment into Friedbergs hands.
Hymoff was present at the auction
on Sept. "a when the plant was sold to
Ralph Q. Dale, representing the Fried
berg group, for S193,100, and the mer-
chandise and equipment for $4,000.
Hymoff now claims that the latter bid
was for himself and was not for
Friedberg.
When Dale paid the receivers of the
plant today he gave them a check for
S203,100. being the balance due be-
tween the total amount of s21S, 100 and
the required deposit as a guarantee of
good faith, $4,000 of which was on the
plant and $4,000 on the merchandise
and equipment.
Hyhoff was accompanied to Bath to-
day by his attorney. Samuel S. Winter
of New York, and together they en-
gagged Walter S. Glidden of this city
as their local attorney. 1t was an
nounced by Mr.. Winter before return
ing to New York tonight that Mr..
Glidden has been instructed to file a
suit in equity, restraining both Mr..
Dale and Mr.. Friedberg from interfer-
ing in any way with the disposition
of this merchandise, and that Mr..
Glidden will petition the courts for
preliminary injunction to that effect
pending the outcome of the litigation.

SCHOOL MEET TROPHIES
WON BY KETcKIKAK

 The meet was to have started ol- Wednesday evening but due to th' late arrival of the visitors was postponed until Thursday, the Wednesday evening events being taken care of as found possible.
 The track meet was held or Thursday afternoon, during thu most unfavorable weather possible for such an event, despite which five records were broken by the athletes, who deserve much credit for their performance.

RESULTS OBTAINED BY
 WORK OF COMMITTED
United Effort in Presentation c Facts Makes Impression on
 Minds of Legislators

That the logical and concise pre- sentation of facts and figures rela' tive to the fishing industry in con nection with the subject of Terri torial Legislation resulted in a de cided modification of the hous ways and means bill was apparent Thursday when the committee re, ported the bill in greatly altere' form, the tax on the various fisher items remaining practically as the: were and have been since regulated by the 1923 session. One or tw slight reductions were made, th most important being the cut on mild and salt-cured salmon from 15 to cents per one hundred pounds. Fish trap license was reduced from the proposed raise, $500 per trap back to the former figure, s200.
 The bill came back from the con- mittee with the high rate of taxa tion of the mining industry un- changed although a majority of the committee. five of the nine, favore a reduction. It is believed the sen. ate will restore the mining item. to what they were formerly-possi bly make a material reduction.
 Late yesterday afternoon the house turned down the committe amendments to the mining portio of the ways and means bill and GU out the high tax clauses, restorini them to what they were previously in which form it will be sent to ths senate.-Stroller's Weekly.
