LOCAL COMPANT FICHTING TRUST Peytons Say Powder Monop- | oly Is Scheming to Ruin What It Cannot Control ———— |AFFTDAVITS .ARE READ — s Chemical Concern Declares Its Destruetioft Is Sought as a Dangerous Competitor ——— That the powder trust {s scheming to orush a competitor that it cannot con- | trol is the startling cause assigned by | the Peyton Chemical Company for the | litigation in which it has been involved by the E. L du Pont de Nemours Pow- der Company of New Jersey. The trust is the owner of 3000 shares of the chemical company’s stock. This | has been advertised for sale for the payment of a delinquent assessment of | 1$30,000. The sale was to have taken | place last Saturday, but the New Jer- | sey corporation got & temporary in- junction from Judge Kerrigan, and yes- terday was set for the Peyton company to show cause why the -injunction | should not be made permanent. The | hearing was not finished. It will go on this morning, the Peytons urging a hasty determination because of a debt of $113,906 25, which must be paid on December 31. This debt is one of the bases of the charge of conspiracy to | wreck the local concern. It is owed to the Du Ponts for money loaned, and it | cannot be paid unless the Du Pont com- ‘pmy pays its assessment on the Pey- | ton shares or permits them to be sold. | If the assessment is paid the Peyton company promises to pay the notes; if it is not, the chemical company says it will lose $293,000 in collateral, includ- ing W. C. Peyton’s 1500 shares of stock, | which will give the trust its sought-for 43 Highest Awards in Europe and America.

A lecture on Christian Science will be given at the Alhambra Theater to- | night by Bicknell Young, C. 8. B, of The lec- ture will treat thoroughly and clearly of the doctrines of Christian Sclence. | Though the lecture is free, part of the | ficor will be reserved until 8 o’clock. Tickets for that section can be ob- tained at Sherman & Clay's music store. The lecturer will try to convince those who oppose the doctrine of his cult. Following is his explanation in brief of the manner that Christian Scientists try to cure disease: Those who believe that mentality plays some part in diseass and its cure generally and say that the cures of jan Science are affected by mental _suggestion, hypnotism, ~will powey, mental sclence. which is spurious and not_re- lated to Christian Sclence, or to some other erroneous _or material fan Eclence, and mey of all people know best. —_————— | GETS JUDGMENT IN SVUIT FOR AN ENGAGEMENT RING Frank D. Kuenzly Wins Case Against Lady Who Jilted Him for Another Man. Justice of the Peace Daniels yes- terday rendered a default judgment in favor of Frank D. Kuenzly, who sued Mrs. Mazy E. Cunha, formerly Miss Mazy Erb, for $140, the value of a diamond ring. Kuenzly alleged that he had given the ring to Miss Erb after they became engaged and that on learning that she became e to Joseph Cunha he demanded his ring back, but she refused to surren- der it Mrs. Cunha filed a demurrer to the complaint, which was overruled and she was given until yesterday to an- She failed to put in an appear- ance and Walter RoNuon. the plain- tiff's attorney, said she had boasted that she had disposed of the ring. He threatened to bring her to court on an order of examination. —_———— PLANS M SAFETY STATION.—City En. yesterday compieted control. These facts and many o(hen bearing | | upon the merits of the case and the | charges of intent to ruin the chemical | company are set forth in the volumin- ous affidavits of the officers and direct- | | ors of the concern, including those of | President W. C. Peyton and Secretary | J. P. Wallace, read in court yesterday. | Peyton says that he is the owner of stock worth $257,900, upon which he has paid the assessment of $10 a share. | TO PREVENT PAYMENT. He declares that the suit was brought by the Du Pont company for the pur- pose of preventing the plaintiff from | paying its debts on December 31 in the hope that it can thereby obtain col- lateral of the value of $203,000 and ac- | quire control of the defendant corpora- tion, wreck it and thereby avoid gom- | petition which would confront the trust | if the chemical company remains In| business. Peyton says he has devoted his money and energies to his company | until it has become the largest manu- facturer of strong acids in the United | States. He says that on November 18 a suit was commenced in the United States Circuit Court and dismissed, and the | present action in the Superior Court| was ‘begun the day before the gale. This, he says, is a part of the con- spiracy to wreck the company. He says that the Du Pont company controls the | powder business of the United States, and a large part of its profits 1s d rived from the sale of smokeless pow- der to the Government. The Peyton company, he says, is In a position to | enter into the smokeless powder busl- | ness and reduce the income of the trust. The affiant declares that T. C. du | Pont, president, and Pierre 8. du Pont, | treasurer of the Du Pont company, re- | sorted to various means to acquire con- trol of the Peyton company. They made him a proposition, which he refused, and then, he says, he was told that the ! greater company and Its subsidiary corporations would wreck the chemical | company. He says that they acknowl- edged that they procured the California Powder Works to repudiate a contract for chemicals, to the damage of the Peyton company in the sum of $570,000. The trust owns about half the stock in the California Powder Company. He sa too, that they have resorted to | atious litigation, the creation of dis- ‘=a[1=fatl|un among customers, scurr | ous accusations and caused an attach- | ment suit to be filed on a $30,000 claim for which no demand had been made. | AID FOR AN EMY. ‘ Then, it is =aid, they attempted to gain access to the mpany’sbooks for R. 8. Penniman, e president of the California Powder Company, an avowed enemy and business rival of the Peytog co'mpflnv [ Secretary Wallace's affidavit went nto more details in regard to the neces- | sity of the assessment, the financial transactions and the repudiation of the numberiess charges against the com- pany made in the case in the Circuit | Court. Among other things he said that it was charged that the ocmpany’s | | plant was not worth $300,000, when it | was worth more than $500,000 and all of | its assets amount to $1,000,000. He | quoted-from letters from the three Du | Ponts, one ratifying the present man- | agement and the others congratulating | | | | Peyton on his success. ————————— Miss Ruef to Wed To-Morrow. The wedding of Miss Marie Ruef and School. Director Aaron Altman | will take place to-morrow afternoon at 5 o'clock at the California Hotel. There will be a large gathering of | their friends and after the wedding ceremony a supper will be served. Miss Ruef, who is a sister of| A.

The outlook is that several weeks, | perhaps months, will pass before the Commissioners provide the answer, and in the meantime the board is troubled. ‘When the bids for furnishing one or more automobiles for the use of | Chiet Sullivan and his assistants were about to be opened at yesterday’'s reg- ular meeting Secretary McCarthy raised a warning hand and proceeded to read a protest from the Holle Au- tomobile Company of this city that offered to show that the specifications drawn up by the board and adver- tised according to law permitted the selling to the department of only one class of machine—that known as autocar. In the specifications cer- tajn, technical terms are used that to a layman are somewhat bewildering, but the Holle company was there to show that they accurately and in the smallest detail described an autocar and no other automobile manufac- tured could be offered in competition whose general make-up is not on the autocar order. The Holle company’s protest stated | that “the specifications are so framed | as to practically prevent any one from | bidding except the West Coast Motor Company, agents for the car described in the specifications. It can be seen | that only one bid can be received, and the purpose of the charter is de- feated.” PROTESTS FROM AGENTS. Attorney Charles Low, who repre- sents the Haynes-Apperson Automo- bile Company, was present in the in- terest of that concern to make the same protest as that framed by E. P. | Brinegar of the Holle company. There | was a long discussion on the motion | of Commissioner Parry that all the| bids be rejected, as he desired to be fair with all bidders. Mr. Parry also | argued ‘that it was his desire and the | desire of Chief Sullivan that the test of any machine offered the city be made by the department’'s engineer | and superintendent of machinery. Chief Sullivan said that he knew | nothing about automobiles and did | not care to be in any way responsible | for passing judgment on one. That should be left to the officials men- | tibned by Mr. Parry. Mr. Brinegar suggested that it| would be well for the board to walt‘ awhile before purchasing machines, | models will soon be re- Chairman J. George Boyne of agreed that it would be well to post- pone action and readvertise for te ders, A motion to this effect was carrfed. Commissioner Barrett was not present to vote. The department. it was told, is in a pecullar position regarding auto- mobiles. In fact, they have to have |a “chug-wagon,” as buggy horses are scarce—so scarce that it Is almost fmpossible to buy the particular sort of animals required. Chief Sullivan and his men do not like the idea of the horse famine and would rather climb hills in an auto than on shanks’ mare. APPLICATION ALLOWED. The application of Engineer Mitch- ell for back pay was granted. Mitch- ell was injured by a fall from a roef while on duty and he will get his money and be reinstated by Chief Sul- livan as soon as he can be placed. The application of George Clancy of Truck No. 2 for back pay was put over for one week, but the Commis- sioners intimated that it would be al- lowed. Clancy while running to a fire slipped, fell and fractured his elbow. He was Incapacitated for duty for twenty-seven days., M. H. Heeney of Engine 18 was granted a leave of absence for six months. The application of Engineer Thomas Conners for a transfer of po- sitions was referred to Chief Sullivan. The communication of the Spring | Valley Water Company regarding tihe | made a strong plea for the selection | Supervisor Hocks' WILL CONDEMN RESERVOIR SITE <Superv1sors Think Price Put on Twin Peaks Land Is; Too High and Rejeet Offer PLAN FOR NEW LIBRARY Committee Unable to Decide on Either of the Two Blocks UnderConsideration The Supervisors’ joint Finance, Fire | and Utllities Committee yesterday re- ceived an offer from the Market and | Stanyan Streets Land ‘Company to sell | to the city forty-seven acres of land on | Twin Peaks as a reservoir site for n.n" auxiliary high-pressure water system | for increased fire protection at 810"! per acre. The committee regarded the price as too high and after reject- ing the offer directed the City Attor- ney to begin at once condemnation proceedings under the law of eminent domain for the aequisition of the land required for the reservoir site. Before taking action the committes asked O. D. Baldwin, president of the company, if he could not get a lower offer from his board of directors, Baldwin replied: “A less price cannot be obtained and if condemnation pro- ceedings are brought they will be fought to the bitter end.” The joint committee on Finance and lities considered the selection of a site for the new Public Library. The call for the bond issue election designated Western Addition block No. 67, bounded by Van Ness avenus, Polk, Grove and Fulton streets, as the site, while the Public Library Trus- tees formally decided in favor of block 78, bounded by Van Ness avenue, Franklin, Fell and Hayes streets. E. R. Taylor, a Library Trustee, ot block 78 as a site, declaring it pos- sessed excellent natural advantages. He was followed by Trustees J. B. O’Connor, who sald the Trustees were unanimous in favor of the block. J. D. Phelan, on behalf of the San Fran- cisco Adornment Association, indorsed the choice of the Library Trustees be- cause it would be in the civid center of the city and would be advisable in view of the possible extension of the park panhandle to Market street at some future date. C. G. Hooker urged the purchase of block 67, he representing some rela- tives who own & portion of the block. Hooker produced a plan prepared by G. H. Burnham, civic architect of the Adornment Association, in which block 66, bounded by McAllister, Fulton and Polk streets and Van Ness avenue, was fixed upon for the site. W. Magee | said block: 78 should be bought for $586,000 and J. A. Jones said block 67 could be purchased for $647,000. motion to select block 78 was seconded by Connor, but was withdrawn after the committee declded to defer action for one week. —_—————— PACIFTIO UNDERWRITERS TO CONVENE IN JANUARY Addresses to Be Made by Experts Re- lating to Conditions Existing on the Coast. the Underwriters’ Association of the Pacific will be held at the assembly room of the association on January 10 and 11.

Brady. It was alleged that she had about $3000 in bank and $2000 worth of realty and the money had been obtained and dis- sipated by “designing persons who were i:lng to get the remainder of the es- te.” ortly after the application was made Mrs. Brady married Finnerty at | 8t. Dominick’s €hurch. It is now charged by the cousins, Joseph Dur- ney and Emma Mahler, that Finnerty has helped spend his wife’s money and is now offering her realty for sale. Mrs. Finnerty, who looks older than her confessed forty-four years, said she was a natlve of California and that her former husband was dead. Judge Cof- fey decided to postpone further hear- ing for a week and asked Finnerty if If Not, What Better Proof Can San Francisco Residents - sk For? This is the statement of a San Francisco citizen. ; The testimony of a neighbor. You can readily investigate it. The proof should convince you. C. H.

By and by the attacks were more persistent and the | pain more pronounced, until finally it was a difficult matter to me to attend to my daily duties. When suffering | from one of these attacks, almost by accident I happened to read am ad. about Doan’s Kidney Pills and I usad three boxes. They certainly acted with me as the advertisement stated.
