Staff Correspondent of International
News Service.
NEW YORK, Sept. 14—Ten per
sons were hurt, one seriousiy, in a
series of collisions at Westchester
and Brook avenue, in the Bronx, to
day, when strike sympathizers
{reased the rails of the surface car
une there.
Ihe motormen were unable to stop
their cars on the grade at this point,
owing to the grease. Traffic was tied
up for some time. Crowds jeered the
;:qar crews until dispersed by the po
ice.
' Rioting along the elevated@ and sur
face lines affected by the traction
girike continued today. During the
early hours no serious violence oc
:urred. but there were enough dis
urbances throughout the strike zone
to keep the police on the jump.
As usual, the favorite method of
attack was hurling missiles from
Yoofs at passing elevated trains and
?!agging motormen and conductors
rom surface cars.
| Try to Break Strike.
| Reiterating their declaration that
ele strike on the elevated and sub
way lines had been broken and the
struggle on the surface lines would
terminate within 24 hours in a com
plete defeat of the union, traction of
ficials early today set about making
\their threat good.
| Assembling 1,400 employees at the
surface barns, they sent out the cars
at frequent intervals, all under po
lice guard. Men who had been held
in reserve as strikebreakers were dis
charged as a result of a warning that
the city authorities would not permit
the opeation of cars by inexperienced
crews,
By 8 a. m. 144 surface cars were in
operation. The entire front of each
car was protected by heavy wire net
ting to stop any missiles that might
be thrown by rioters. |
Traffic Enormous.
Two additional trains of eight cars,
making a total of 104 trains being
used, were placed in operation in the
subway during the rush hour. There
was enormous traffic on both the ele
vated and subway lines, but the trac
tion chiefs asserted that the normal
schedule was being maintained.
Striking traction employees and the
unionists supporting them paraded
through the streets of New York City
today. According to the strike lead
ers. from 12,000 to 15,000 men
marched in the parade from Eighty
sixth street to Union square, where
the strikers were addressed by prom
inent labor leaders. Samuel Gom
pers, president of the American Fed
eration of Labor, failed to appear,
gending word that he was detained in
Washington, but speeches were de
livered by Hugh Frayne, State or
ganizer of the Federation; William
B. Fitzgerald, leader of the carmen’s
union, and several others. |

Soldier-Battler Is
Downed by Cop
B. F. Stokes, 19, who says his home
is at No. 184 Bellwood avenue, is a
soldier and loves to fight. He admit.
ted as much to Policeman Gibb Davis
in front of the City Hall Thursday.
And when the policeman thought
Stokes was making too much fuss
about it he decided to take him to the
cooler.
Stokes made good. He fought the
policeman and some civilians who at
tempted to help the cop all around
the: immediate vicinity, When the
wagon finally arrived, however, the
belligerent Stokes was prone on the
pavement with Poiiceman Davis sit
ting astride of him.

ernor Harris said he would consider
the appointment fully and reach a
decision by Friday morning.
Judge Price Gilbert, of Columbus,
was considered a likely applicant. He

of the Governor.

Commissioner, are urging his ap
pointment. It was reported at the
capitol Thursday that he might be
offered the place. Judge Hart previ
ously had a seat on the Court of Ap
peals tendered him, and it is believed
he stands a good chance of being of
‘rma the Supreme Cqurt appoint
ment,
A delegation from Atlanta waited
on the Governor to ask the appoint
ment of J. L. Anderson. Another del
egation appeared for O. M. Duke, of
lHults. and another from Columbus for
Judge Gilbert. A Macon delegation
was expected in the afternoon, but it
was not known whom they would
urge. : |
Those offering for the piace are J.
L. Anderson, Judge Gilbert, O. M.
Duke, of Flovilla; George D, Ander
son, of Marietta; F. W. Dart, of Doug
las; . B. Conyers, of Brunswick; E.
L. Brinson, of Burke County; E. K.

U. S. Probe of Bread
In Memphis Is Asked
(By International Newg Service.)
MEMPHIS, Sept. 14.—A formal re
quest that the Federal Trade Com
mission make an inquiry into the pro
posed raise In the price of bread was
made today by Samuel F. McDonald,
president of the Master Bakers of
America
MeDonald sent a telegram to the
commission at Washington asking
that it hold an Investigation and of
fered to appear as the chief witness
The spirited court battle between
Mrs. Sadie Dean, of No. 195 Ivy street,
and Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Dean, of No.
137 Walton street, parents of Mrs.
Dean’s husband, for custody of the
young woman's pretty 3-year-old
daughter, Mildred, developed a dra
matic incident Thursday in a chase
through the courthouse for the little
girl and the flrlal awarding of the girl
to her mother by Judge Ben Hill,
pending a hearing of habeas corpus
proceedings Friday.
As she proudly left the courthouse
with little Mildred snug In her arms,
Mrs. Dean, who Wednesday was
placed under S2OO bond by Judge!
Hathcock, in the Municipal Court, onl
the charge of kidnaping, exclaimed:
“I'l shed every drop of blood in
my body before they shall take her
from me; she's mine, and I'm golnx|
to keep her.”
In-Laws Equally Determined.
Mr. and Mrs. Dean expressed them
selves as equally determined to win
back the little girl, Mrs. Sadie Dean
and her husband, Reuben Dean, are
separated, and the husband’'s parents
have had Mildred in their Keeping for
about eight months, She has beeu
with the mother since about two
weeks ago, at which time Mrs, Dean
was accused of kidnaping her and
spiriting her away in an automobile.
When a search for the missing girl‘
had proved fruitless, the habeas cor
pus action against the mother was
instituted, citing her to produce the
girl in court. Officers, armed with a
court order, several timse had hunted
through Mrs. Dean's apartments in
Ivy street, but to no avail.
- Accompanied by her counsel, At
torney Thomas H. Goodwin, and a
friend, Mrs. Ruth Goebel, Mrs. Dean
Thursday appeared with Mildred in
Judge Hill's court. As this court was
not in session, the case was trans
ferred to Judge John T. Pendleton's
court, but a jury trial was in progress
there and the Dean case could not
be taken up.
When Mr. and Mrs. J. W, Dean and
their counsel, Attorney Leonard J.
Grossman, found that the case would
have to be put off, they set about to
take Mildred from the mother, pend
ing the hearing, by enforcing the
original court order,
Chase Through Courthouse.
While a search was being made for
Deputy Sheriff Mason, who had the
order, Mrs. Dean and her party evi
dently “smelled a mouse,” and, quietly
leaving the courtroom, boarded an
elevator, Attorney Grossman, with
Deputy Mason, arrived a few mo
ments later, to discover the mother
and daughter gone, and then started
a chase. Rushing to the first floor,
they could find no one who had seen
the woman and girl leave the bhulld
ing. Then began a search of the big
courthouse, with the result that the
missing party was found in the So
leltor's office on the third floor.
Over the protests of Mrs. Dean, the
officer then took charge of Mttle Ml
dred, and both factions followed him
into Judge Hill's oMes, Judge HIN
Inmad the controversy for the time
being ‘by directing that the mother
keep the little girl until Friday.
Atlanta friends of John Temple

tober, at a formal ceremony in Chi
cago, the most beautiful and probab-

‘I'HE ATLANTA GEORGIAN
In a decision handed down Thurs
day, the Supreme Court held that the
petition of J. R. Brown against the
Empire Life Insurance Company for
the cancellation of stock and a re
ceivership, on the ground of fraud,
should have been dismissed on de
murrer. Judge Ellis, of Fulton Su
perior Court, was reversed.
The question of a receivership is
not involved in the decision because
the company is under the control of
General W. A. Wright, Insurance
Commissioner, the high court holds.
Subsequent to the suit brought by
Brown, General Wright filed a peti
tion to take over the company. By a
consent order the cases were consoli
dated and the company was placed in
charged of the commissioner.
In the headnotes it is set forth in
part: “Under the allegations of the
petition the plaintiff would bg enti
tled to a recission of his contract for
the purchase of stock in the defend
ant corporation and to a recovery of
the consideration paid therefor if such
relief could be had without loss to
creditors whose indebtedness was
created subsequent to the purchase of
stock.
Further Bar to Recovery.
“If one purchases stock in a cor
poration and thereupon the company
proceeds to do business upon the basis
that he is a stockholder and incurs
indebtedness such purchases after in
solvency can not after the insolvency
of the company obtain relief on the
ground of fraudulent representation
of an agent of the company in selling
him stock.”
The opinion, by Justice Evans, sets
forth that the petition makes out a
case of actual fraud in procurement
of the contract by shares of stock.
Though a subscription to stock may
have been induced by fraud, the sub
scriber can not recover the amount
paid in by him, if there be other cred
itors to an equal or larger amount, the
court holds,
The only conclusion deducible from
the allegations of the petition is that
all creditors of a corporation became
such after the petitioner's purchase of
stock and as the corporation is al
leged to be insolvent the corporate
assets become a trust fund for the
payment of creditors, it is set forth.
History of the Suit.
The suit was based on the ground
that the stock was bought with the
belief it was valued at SIOO a share,
and afterwards it was declared a
valuation of only S2O had been placed
on it, Brown had $3,000 in the com
pany on investment certificates. It
was afterwards chartered on a stock
plan. Brown surrendered investment
certificates for stock certificates and
bought $£3,000 more of stock, repre
senting 75 shares, which he thought
was valued at SIOO a share with 20
per cent discount allowed,
He didn't discover the stock was
worth but S2O a share, he sald, until
some time after when he had returned
to his farm. The wvaluation was
printed in small type and had not been
noticed by him when he made the
purchase, he charged.

said. A revision of certain mileage
scales are asked, Involving Increases

tional News Service.
NEW LONDON, CONN., Sept. 14.—
The first problem on which the Amer
fcan and Mexican Commissioners here
have failed to reach quickly a com
mon ground of understanding was
confronted today. After listening
further to the views of General Tas
ker H. Bliss, assistant chief of staff
of the army, regarding border condi
tions, an effort was begun to fix re
sponsibility for the Columbus raid,
as well as the Carrizal and Parral in
cidents.
The American commissioners in
sisted that the de facto Government
accept responsibility for the Colum
bus raid. The Mexican commission
ers contended that the American com
mander at Columbus had advance in
formation of the intended Villa raid,
and that no blame attached to the
Carranza government. To this the
American commissioners responded
that the raiders came from and re
turned to the territory supposed to be
under control of the de facto Gov
ernment and that therefore the blame
and responsibility should be placed
there.
In regard to the Parral incident, the
commissioners were just as far apart,
The Mexican commissioners declared
that the American troops in at
tempting to pass through the town
exceeded their orders as they were
understood to the Carranzista author
ities throughout Mexico. The repre
sentatives of the American govern
ment refused to accept this explana
tion and contended that all of the evi
dence in their possession indicated
clearly that the fight at Parral had
been precipitated by the soldiers of
the de facto Government stationed
there.
Only in discussion of the Carrizal
skirmish did the commissioners ap
proach an agreement, These facts in
reagard to this incident were not dis
puted by either commission. The
Americans admitted that Captain
Bovd possibly had been at fault in
taking his troops so far to the east
ward of the Pershing column. They
pointed out, though, that the Mexi
can commander had not acted honor
ably in dealing with the American
commander prior to the fight, and
that heing already in position with
machine guns trained on the Ameri
can cavalry, was prepared for and
precipitated the clash.
Failure to reach an agreement im
mediately on these points will not
prevent an agreement on two of the
other points under discussion, it was
pointed out—the withdrawal of the
Pershing column and formulation of
a border agreement. These questions
are being brought to a head as quickly
as possible, it was stated.

That the fire which destroyed De-
Kalb County courthouse Wednesday
morning was of incendiary origin was
the opinlon expressed Thursday by
Captain W. R. Joyner, State Fire
Marshal, who is making an investi
gation, along with the DeKalb Grard
Jury.
Even the ruins showed evidences of
oil, Captain Joyner saild, indicating
that it had been freely used before
the fire.
The Grand Jury Thursday resumed
its investigation of the cause of the
fire which destroyed the courthouse.
Several witnesses were called for ex
amdnation, but if any findings were
made they were not announced.
Reports that first arrivals at the fire
smelled odor of oil or gasoline wers
investigated. It was freely charged
in. the public square Wednesday that
the building had been set on fire.
Temporary offices will be opened
at once in the courthouse square for
the DeKalb County officials. The
Grand Jury and other bodies met in
the City Hall and nearby buildings
on Thursday,
The vaults are fast coollng, and
probably will be opened Friday. It
is belleved there will be only slight
damage by water to papers contained
in the vaults.
A check on papers outside the
vaults reveals that 1,200 ecivil suit
records have been destroved, 250 in
dictments and all the old tax records
except for 1915. A determined ef
fort will be made to trace suits and
indictments so as to transcribe them.
