- S24000000 ACTION FILED BY HASKELL Suit on Aluminum Trust Charge Begun in Capital | Against Duke Estate. ‘ By the Associated Press. A suit for $24,000,000 damages was brought to tne Supreme Court yester- day by George L. Haskell of Massa- chusetts against the estate of James B. Duke, after his proceedings had failed | in a lower court. - Haskell contends the damage resulted from a broken agreement between him- self and the Duke interests over a Canadian power project. He alleges a conspiracy between the Duke interests | and the Aluminum Co. of America re- lating to the project. Secretary Mellon as a stockholder in the Asuminum Co. gave a deposition in | this case last July. That deposition, | showing a trip to Canada by Mr. Mellon in his interest as a stockholder and in connection with project now in litiga- | tion, was placed before the Senate| judiciary committee during its recent | consideration of Mr. Mellon's right to| hold office. Senator Walsh, Democrat, Montana, introduced the Mellon deposition to the | committee as evidence that he had shown an interest in carrying on trade or commerce in_violation of the law. The Federal District Court for New Jersey gave Haskell a judgment for $8.- | 000,000, but-refused to grant him the | amount asked. This judgment was set aside by the Circuit Court of Appeals, which ordefed the proceedings dis-| missed. | Haskell in_asking the Supreme Court | to pass on the controversy asserted the | Aluminum- Co. of America and Duke | conspired to monopolize the aluminum | business and that Duke refused to| carry out an agreement, which Haskell | claimed he had with him, to engage in the manufacture of aluminum for sale in competition with the Aluminum Co. of America. . The Circuit Court of Appeals held that there was no evidence to warrant the finding that there had been an agreement between Haskell and Duke and that Haskell had, therefore, failed to establish a conspiracy against him.

BERLIN, May 7.—Dr. giebel, chief of police, issued a state- ment today in defense of vigorous meas- ures adopted by the constabulary to tions. He declared the police measures were fully justified and necessary for the pro- tection of the interests of the great majority of German laborers, who, he said, “were not in the least connected with the uprising.” Tried to Avoid Bloodshed. His statement added the police had been instructed specifically to do every- thing possible to avoid bloodshed. The fire hose even, he said, had been used for the first time in Berlin's history, with the result that “until the evening of May 1 nothing unusual occurred in any section of Berlin with the excep- tion of Hackscher Market, Where there was one wholly accidental death.” The statement continued: “On the evening of May 1 the situation sudden- ly changed. The police were not only pelted with cabbages, glasses, bottles and stones, but also were shot at. The police tried to frighten their attackers by firing in the air, but it was with no success. “The police could not have acted otherwise than they did, and no one with a spark of a sense of justice could ask them to go against the sharpshoot- ing rioters with only clubs and fire hose. If a blaze is so _dangerous as that in Neugoelln and Wedding, it threatens to spread to other sections of the city and there is nothing else left to do ex- cept use all means to preserve peace and order. Regrets Injury to Bystanders. “That bystanders were injured is ex- ceedingly regrettable, but in the last analysis we must consider the view- point of the decent laborers, who were not in the least connected with the uprising and had the right to demand Ll’i‘:l fire be quenched as soon as pos- sible.” Police made short shrift today of hearings of those arrested May day. | Nearly all of those still held were freed |as undeserving of longer detention. About 75 were still to be heard. Plan to Block Violence. Police today planned measures de- signed to prevent recurrence of violence when 21 Communisgs killed in post-May day riots at Neukoelln and Wedding are buried tomorrow in a single grave.
