Validity of Minutes of Directors' Meeting One Issue in Suit For Accounting.
Vrzry In the rc-ording of th minutes of a meeting of the dircotor.it of lh South Pend I'low Co. held in 1'jO'k w.ih hinted 2t Friday mrninv. wlu n ( oun-'-l fr tho plaintiffs outlined th- ba.; of their contention In the ap plication of Maria Cas.olny for an a' u r;t ing and recep ership against th- plow corporation. Ti.e alb-ired forr'-ry was .supp"d to have. o curr 'l in the summer of I'jhO whM A. I. P.iker recorded certain transactions said to hav occurred at the meeting. Further, it i. aliened, that W. K 1'as.tday, one of the founders f the concern, and president, later look th ree.,rd of the. minutes to tho ethe. f the late Judge Lucius Hubbard, where he wrote across the s;de of the ledger that no such meeting had been held and that the transactions and agreements ns state, In th- minutes to have been entered int.-., were fraud. This point In the reo ivership proceedings may prove to !. one f the movt bitterly contested. The plaintiff's contention briefly outlined in a presentation of th case upon which the biis of the suit is made, were that Arthur I . Haker, assuming control of the management of the plow company's affairs upon his father's death, had bern indiscreet in buying certain raw commodities which wer', used in the manufacture of plows, that the welding process was such that the agri: "Itural implements broke while being us.-d. that the concern sold plows to nvill order houses, placing the. wares of the.-.o people into competition -vith the article whic h salesmen of the fouth Pend plow concern were trying to sell, that the corporation was unable, to qualify in many states as a bona fide concern because it did net have a board of directors, and that the trade of the concern had fallen off so that during the year 1110 it actually lt money. .(t I it Mc-ncr Heard. The contentions of counsel for the plow company and Arthur I). Haker and others tende, to refute the statements made by the plaintiff's counsel. None uf the statements for either side were put in as evidente, nor was there any testimony introduced to substantiate the claims of the two contending parties. Another ground ' which the plaintiffs base their suit is that Arthur I). Haker was not qualified to act as administrator of his father's estate, that ho was ;ti usurper, and that tho provi.NU ns in the l ite W. H. Paker's will, probated 14 years or thereabouts after the death of the defedent, fir.pow trim; his son, as trustee, to ote the stocks piven vnder direction of the will to young Haker and William C. Or-;i, W. (I. Paker' son-in-law, w ;ts invalid. To refute the forgery idea thrown out by the plaintiff's counsel, tho defense, stated that certain increase
in salaries allowed at the meeting lü 1900, were collected by membersof the (!asaday family, who were elected. A recital of the Jinamirtl condition oi the corporation from its very beginning until last year by the defense occupied the attention of the court. It was stated that the assets of the plow company in 1 1 0 2 wtro $:oi.-ni.y;:. while .,n June ;:o, i i i ; , the assets w ere $ 'J : .'..7 5.

Dismisses Intoxication Charge For Lack of Liquid Evidence.
Folks who attended the daily performance in the municipal theater conducted by Judse Warner at the city hall Friday morning are wondering if a man's Intoxication is detrmined by the liquor within hLm or the liquor without him. The director of the municipal theater decided a case upon this basis Friday morning, finding a man not guilty of intoxication because the state could not produce what wag alleged to have been three or four bottles of beer which the man carried in a bundle w hen arrested. Although one officer testified that th defendant wai drunk when arrest cd, that ho smelled liquor on the rruvn'a breath an4 that the defendant was unatde to upport himself. Stage Director Warner freed him because the RtaU did xiot bring Into court the liquor which he was alleged to have been ctrryins outside his body. It was pe-"l out that In most cases Intoxication, resulted through inward consumption and not outward apjltcatlon, either by means of bath or contamination. Wade Morton was the defendant who benefited under the Judge's verdict. Morton was arretted ladt Saturday afternoon by Officer amnel Korzorowski, aocordln to the arrest sheet. . The officer went on the stand Friday morning and after looking Morton over said he could not Identify him as the man h had taken Into custody. Morton's attorneys there were two laughed agreeably when the policeman failed to identify their client. "Is this man Wade Morton?" asked Deputy Pros. S. P. Schwartz. Threatens to Forfeit Pond. Morton's attorneys refused to answer, except that he was in court, whereupon Schwartz threatened to forfeit the defendant's bond vre 'ess he was identified. The attorney, admitted the man in court was Morton and Omcer George Pinter was called to the stand. Officer Plntrr testified that he accompanied the patrol to the street car station last Saturday afternoon where Morton was found upon the sidewalk. Ho aid that Morton had a short gash In the back of his head, but was conscious. Peside Morton was found a packatje containing threa or four bottles of beer, according to Pinter. The attorneys for the defense asked tha officer to produce the .bottles, intimating that hey had contained coco, cola. This the officer could not do, but stated that he knew the liquid to be beer. This completed the state's case, and Atty. JelliHn started to explain to Warner the defense that was to be put forth by Horton. For about three minutes he held the floor telling In detail where Morton had been on the day he was arrested, leading the man from Ptore to store and finally into a saloon. Here the attorney Interrupted his story with the statement that Morton had "lost hi mother-in-law" a short time before and "Well, we don't want to hear about Morton's mother-in-law," put In the Judpe." "Since the state cannot produce these bottles of beer, Morton is found not srullty."
LAWYERS IN TILT WHEN SPEED CASE IS CALLED
Deputy Pros. Schwartz and Atty. ChaTles Hagerty engaged in a minor tilt in city court Friday morning when the case of George Gards. charged with exceeding the speed limit, was called. Hagerty started to make a plea for the defendant when Schwartz demanded that the defendant be brought Into the court room. After a bit of this Gards came into the court room when Hagerty said: "Mr. Gards, step Inside, as th prosecutor wants to get a good look at you." Then Hagerty insisted that he ee the affidavit which was not yet on file. The case was held over for a short time while the proper papers were being made out, and then Hagerty asked for a continuance until next Wednesday. Gards was arrested by Bert Olrrvrtead of the detective department, while driving on Vistula av.

Board of Safety Reserves Decision Until Next Friday, However.
For two hours Friday the board of safety examined witnesses in regard to the changes which have been filed against night wagon Officer Earl Parker of the police c: "partment, by Pert Henderson, a street car motorman living at 503 1-2 E. Ohio st. It is alleged by Henderson that Officer Parker failed to protect him when he was attacked by Harvey Hepler while riding together in the patrol wagon on the evening of .March 23. After hearing the testimony the board went into executive session, after which it was announced that a decision would be withheld until next Friday morning. Evidence presented both by Henderson and Parker showed that tho offier struck Hepler when the latter attacked Henderson on the patrol wagon, although John Hibberd, member of the boartj. criticized the officer for not restraining Hepler when he first struck Henderson. It was brought out in the examination that Hepler created a scene at the Henderson residence while in an intoxicated condition. Hepler was berating his wife when Henderson Interfered. This started a fight and the police were called. Officer Horath answered the call and sent for the patrol to take Hepler to the station. Hepler Testifies. Henderson told the board that he waH asked by Horvath to go to the station with the patrol, but Horvath denied this before the board. After Hepler got into the patrol, Henderson and another man named Alward got into the wagon with Officer Parker. According to Henderson, Hepler struck him and Parker did not try to protect, neither did he when Hepler struck him again. Parker told the board that he warned Hepler not to attack Henderson and alter Hepler struck Henderson
the first time, he promised to re
strain himself. Then, according to the officer, Hepler reached across and punched Henderson again. Officer Parker then struck Hepler, sending him the length of the waon. "That restrained me," Hepler explained to the board. He held no grudge .against Officer Parker, saying he had known the man for several years, and that he gave him all he deserved. It was explained to the board that such instances of intoxicated men are frequent. That It Is difficult to handle such men was the statement of the officer and others. It was also explained that if Henderson wished to escape Hepler he could have moved up to the end of the wagon. Practically all of the witnesses corroborated the story told by Officer Parker. Mr. Hibberd took the position that although such things might happen. Officer Parker should have taken some Fteps to restrain Hepler before he began his attack. The examination did not end until after 1 o'clock.

Vfy Woods Hutchinson, M. I. TLe World's Het Known Writer on Medical SutJect. If the dreadful poison-fras of modern war comes from sea-water, so also does its antidote. There may possibly be traces of other poisonous gaws combined with chlorine, but the human vivisection test, the symptoms of its victims as they gasp in agony and fight for brenth and finally die, correspond quite closely to the poison tests for chlorine and bromine, and show no discoverable trace of the effect of any other poison. Pesides. almost all other known poisons would be extremely expensive to use in such huge quantities" as would be required to kill In the open air. and above all the fiendish stuff must be cheap. Fortunately the same eager readiness to attack and unite with living substances, which makes this Chlorine gas so deadly, supplies a protection against it, in that it promptly combines with other chemicals the moment it is brought. in contact with them and forms an almost harmless substance. Py one of the many miracles of chemistry the fiercely burning and poisonous gas, chlorine, the moment that it touches a simple alkali, like ordinary soda, is converted at once into that harmless article of diet called from the name of Its parents, the fierce gas and the bland alkali, "chloride of sodium," or common salt. Tho Saving Respirators. So that by supplying the soldiers in the trenches exposed to poison gas with masks or respirators stretching across nose and mouth, saturated with a solution of soda, usually either hyposulphite of soda or the bi-borate of soda, commonly known as borax, or washing powder, the fumes of this deadliest gas are promptly turned into common salt, like Lot's wife in the Plble story. So thit, as incredible as it may sound, the only effect of this deadly gas when stopped by the soda mask is to make the, sheets of linen or cotton taste salty Instead of soapy. Put the soda must be wet in order to work this transformation, as the gas cannot combine wdth a dry substance, and that Is the reason why it is necessary to keep these poison masks constantly moistened with water. It Is fortunately possible to fill the mesh of their cloth with enough borax to last for several hours' exposure or even more, but water, of course, will evaporate quickly. Eternal vigilance in the way of remolstenlng or of keeping the masks at hand bathed In solutions of soda is necessary for safety. Many pitiful tragedies were reported from the front before this fact had been realized by tho soldiers; men suddenly wakened to face the choking fumes found that their trusted masks had dried, and were no more protection than a folded handkerchief against the poison gas. By a merciful offset of nature, if the gas is cheap, its antidotes on the poison masks are even cheaper and more accessible, so that there i.s reason to hope that Its future use will prove as useless as It Is vicious and cruel. The (ias Mado Useful. Put it would be very unfair to permit the Impression for a moment that this destructive use of the seagas was Its chief or even one of its important applications. On the contrary, it is one of the smallest and last discovered would it could have been overlooked entirely and least significant, though spectacular enough. Although these gases were found too poisonous and dangerous for general use when floating free in the air, it was early discovered that when harnessed or loosely combined with other substances so that they would he given off slowly and in small amounts their poisonomness gave them a high degree of value as disinfectants and later as antisept .cs. Also, it was found that the promptness and vlclousness with which they would attack living substances or tissues expended themselves with special vigor upon any coloring matter which might be present, so that fabrics exposed to them, either under water or in a moist atmosphere, were quickly deprived of any color they possessed, or, in other words, bleached. After various experiments, a combination of chlorine with soda or lime was found to work best for this purpose, and hence there came into being the now well-known bleaching powder, or chloride of lime. Py a curious and consoling coincidence the very same war which saw the free gas chlorine used to destroy human life also saw the invention, or rather adaptation, of one of the bleaching combinations of chlorine and soda as an antiseptic dressing for the horribly ragged and filthy wounds produced by shrapnel. These wounds were so enormous, so horribly pulped and lacerated, and so blown and ground and full of germ-laden filth from the soil torn up by the shell, that our former tried and trusted antiseptics, carbolic, bi-chloride, peroxide, alcohol, etc., were almost powerless against their huge and deeply-sown infections. A new combination of chlorine and soda, with enough boracic acid added to neutralize its alkalinity, invented by Pakin and Carrel, was found, however, to work wonders, destroying offensive odors, checking suppuration, healing infection and changing the horrible bog of suppuration and gangrene in a week rr so Into a clean, healthy granulating wound.

DUTCH SEIZE SHIPS FOR MILITARY PURPOSES
Government Seeks to Allay Apprehension by Announcement of Friendship to All. International News Service: THE HAGUE, April 7. The Dutch ministry' of marine has begun to commandeer steamships for military purposes. Although the foreign office is attempting to allay public fears by the reiterated announcement that Holland is on friendly terms with all the belligerents and that the war measures are merely precautionary, the national feeling of anxiety is daily becoming greater. There is a division of sentiment on the present public between the allies and the Germans. The Telegraaf, of Amsterdam, one of the most powerful papers in the kingdom, has openly espoused the cause of the allies, having been friendly to that side since the conflict began.

Dutch people are anti-German. On
the other hand, the Avondpost is strongly German. It is pointed out that Holland, being a maritime nation, would lind herself isolated without commerce or colonies if she sided with Germany. On the other hand, the country lies open to invasion from the east by German .soldiers if the government should cast its lot with tho a' lies. According to the foreign office the policy being pursued now is one of ' watchful waiting" with all preparations made for ar.y eventuality. No answer to Holland's demand for restitution for American securities seized by Imgland on Dutch ships is expected for some time.
