*BUSINESS WRECKED BY RUBBER FRAUD mporter Wants 850,000 Damages for Going on Blacklist New York, Nov. 17.—Leon P. Main- etty, an importer of dried fruits, who is of Italian descent, filed sult in the ssupreme court yesterday to recover $50,000 damages from George Philip Neider, a German export merchant of 29 Broadway, because, he charges, Neider induced him to ship what he believed was 250 bags of coffee to Norway last March. The bags con- tained only a small amount of coffee and a large amount of rubber, which was contraband. “% The British boarding officers found the rubber in the coffee sacks and Mainet vas placed on the British “blacklist.” He charges that Neider wilfully deceived him and asks the damages for the loss of his business, 2nd also wants $170 already spent by him in an unsuccessful effort to have his name removed from the black- list. In his complaint, filed by Breed, bbott & Morgan, Mainetty says that s chief business has been between the United States and France, Spain, and Italy, and that prior to the “wrongful act” of the defendant he conducted business aimost entirely by cable to the three foreign countries mentioned. The complaint sets forth facts concerning the present war and the alignment of the various countries involved, and asserts that Norway is ““a. mneutral count d that contra- band of war being shipped from vari- ous countries to aid the armed forces of Germany had usually been sent to Norway. The complaint adds that rubber is useful for war and that the British government treated all shipments of * rubber found on steamers bound for Norway as contraband, and not only seized the rubber, but placed the ship- pers on the blacklist as persons “trading with the enemy.” The re- sult of such action by the British government was to deny the shippers the use of the cables, and such action by Great Britain was followed by similar action by France. i Mainetty alleges that last Febru- ary Neider represented that he had 250 bags of coffee, shipped here from Guatemala, which he wished sent ta Christiania, Norway, and said that the Norwegian-American line refused to accept a shipment from him because he bore a German name. He asked the plaintiff to sign the export declara- | tion and Mainetty did so. He alleges that the defendant’s rep- ywresentations were false and that Neider knew that the alleged coffee | shipments consisted largely of rubber. The consignment was shipved on the steamer Lygenfjord of the Norwegian- American line on March 16 last, and was discovered and seized by British boarding officers, Mainetty says he has been unable to ! collect money due him in France, NFpain, and Italy, and cannot keep in | “touch with the dried fruit market, | which fluctuates constantly. He has done no business since he was black- | listed, he says, although for four years before that time he made $5,000 a year. A DAILY GERMAN PAPER FOR SOFIA For Improvement of Relations Be- tween That Country and Bulgaria— Specialty of Trade Sections. Berlin, Nov. 17 —For the improve- ‘ment or reiations of all kinds between | Germany and Bulgaria, the German- Bulgarian society of Berlin has de- clded to create and support for the time being a daily German newspaper in Sofia. This was decided upon at| a recent meeting of the society in a | large hotel here, at which Duke Ernst Guenther of Schleswig-Holstein, ¢ the president, presided. The prospective newspaper will | make a specialty of extended and re- | liable trade and business sections and reports, for the special benefit of German commercial circles. The | paper will alsa issue a year hook for | the society, gotten up by prominent statesmen, authors and educationalists Vin the German and Bulgarian lan- guages. There will also be a legal section, in which there will appear a translation | of the Bulgarian legal code. - In Janu- | ary of next year the society plans to bring to Germany a number of Bul- garian artists and musicians who will | A0ld expositions and exhibitions here, The membership of the society has been steadily on the increase ever since Bulgaria entered the war, and the organization has been supported and financed by very considerable do- nations from both German and Bul- | garlan sources. The money sub- scribed is sufficient to carry out all of the ambitious plans of the society for “ next year. . LOS; Boston Newspaperman Went to Ger- many for Northcliffe Papers London, Nov. 17.—D, Thomas Cur- tin, a newspaperman of Boston, now with the Northcliffe papers here, was WM deprived today of his American pass- | part by Ambassador Page. Curtin is accused of violating his passport in going to Germany in November, 1915, ostensibly a rep- resentative of American but chiefly as a representative of the Northcliffe papers In the latter capacity he obtained information which he has used in a series of articles published here. In one of his articles Curtin stated that “,what Northcliffe wanted was, among | other things, “to obtain as much mili- tary and naval information as pos- sible.” magazines, | NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 17, io16.

The American ambas moned Curtin and demanded his port, which Curtin was obliged to give up. The ambassador ador sum- pass- takes the position | that the passport was obtained on false representation to the state de- partment when Curtin, in order to get it, said that the purpose of his trip was to write articles for America, | while he actually acted as an investi- | gator for the Northcliffe press.

Curtin is the twelfth American to have his passport taken away in Lon- don since the war began. The others, | all of whom were deported, were Jack | Johnson, Tod Sloan, Jack C.
