All of the defendants were equally interested in the decision. The complaint, filed on Aug. 30 last, accused the defendants of conspiracy, among the specific charges being the loss to the New Haven of $133,000,- 000 by the allezed unlawful purchase of various corporations, and the loss of $2,000,000 in revenue by injury to the freight and passenger business, and by the expenditure of money in acquiring newspapers, influencing ac- tion on bills pending in the legisla- ture, etc. The plaintiffs got twenty days by Judge Hough's order to amend certain technical errors in their bill. In all respects it was sustained as it Judge Hough said: not think that any portion plaintiff’s pleadings, certainly no relevant and material portion, as- serts that the defendants or any of them, were at any of the times men- tioned, or in respect of any of the acts complained of guilty of fraud. stood. “1 da of the iy Write for free | “Goodnight Corns! | and wrinkle up their faces. ! use salves that eat right into the toe ! and make it raw and sore, or they’'ll By saying that fraud is not shown | it is not meant that a wrong has not been done, assuming the allegations of the bill to be true. Of course all | frauds are wrong, but not all wrongs are frauds.” | Judze Hough said.that in such a civil action ag the one at bar he was unable to comprehend what benefit could accrue to a plaintiff who plead- ed conspiracy. He added: “Let it be assumed that all of these defendants desired and intend- ed to violate the statute laws both of the nation and of the several states. If they had done this to the pecuniary benefit of the corporation of which they were directors it is not seen how jany action would lie either by the | corporation itself or by any of its shareholders, after the acts had been | committed and the probable results | thereof were in the coffers of the cor- poration or the pockets of its share- | holders. “The logic of this bill in my judg- ment, is contained in the paragraphs | wherein it is stated in substance that the defendants made the punchases | and expended the money complained | of while knowing that the prices which they caused to be paid were at | least double the fair and reasonable value of the things acquired, and that such things were not and never would be worth any such sums of money.” i‘ The opinion sald that failure to prove conspiracy was not necessarily destructive of the suit, and that the plaintiffs should not be called upon at this time to specify the precise per- sons responsible for the alleged wrongs complained of. The plaintiffs are Edywin Adams, Julius C. Morse, George C, Fisk, James F. Ray and Mary M, Clark. They own 1,056 | shares of stock. EFFICIENCY AS USED IN BUSINESS | | George F.

Never Fails. “Really, 1 never could see how some few people use the most difficult and painful way they can find to get rid of corns. They’ll wrap their toes up with bandages into a package that fills their shoes full of feet and makes corns so painful they've got to walk sideways Or they use plasters that make the corns | bulge, or pick and gouge at their corns and make the toes bleed. Funny, isn’t it?”" “GETS-IT” is the simple, modern wonder for corns. Just put 3 drops on. It dries instantly. No pain, fuss or trouble. The corn, callous or wart loosens and ecomes off.
