RUBBER COMPANY SHARES IN COURT. 



There have been legal proceedings of late in New York in 

 re Daniel B. Shepp et ah versus Emmet A. Saunders et at. 

 — a civil action (No. 10,957) filed in the United States circuit 

 court in Indiana, June 9, 1909. The complaint in this case re- 

 lates to a claim by Shepp for commissions alleged to be due on 

 the sale of shares of the Mishawaka Woolen Manufacturing Co. 

 The case has not been set down for trial, for the reason that the 

 parties are not through taking depositions. The proceedings in 

 New York, above referred to, were before a United States com- 

 missioner, for the examination of members of a syndicate alleged 

 to have been formed to purchase Mishawaka shares, said mem- 

 bers having been subpoenaed to attend for this purpose. The 

 proceedings were not completed within the month.

 States patents involved are Nos. 779,578 and 915,069. 



The regulation prohibiting the use of chains as non-skidding 

 devices for tires on the metropolitan park roadways in Boston 

 has been modified to permit of such use between November 15 

 and March 31 in each year. This modification was brought about 

 through the influence of the Boston Automobile Dealers' Asso- 

 ciation. 



The Michelin Tire Co. supplied all the tires used on the six 

 cars which finished in the road race for the Grand Prize of the 

 Automobile Club of America, at Savannah, Georgia, on Novem-

 panied by the Continental company's master mechanic. Mr.

 danger to health.
