BRATTLE, Wash., Nov. 17. (Spe
cial.) Existence of a . private oral
agreement in July. 1918. between A. s.
Taylor, then publisher of the Post
Intelligencer, and Frederick Karl
Struve whereby Strnve was to pur
chase 4800 shares of the capital
stock of that newspaper for $310,000,
while a written option, drawn to "ex
hibit to certain persons with whom
Struve was dealing," should stipulate
the price to be $360,000, is alleged in
an amended complaint filed in . the
superior court today by Mr. Taylor in
his suit against Mr. Struve for $10,000.
Mr. Taylor charges he is damaged
in that sum because of Mr. Struve's
failure to carry out a further oral
agreement to purchase a total of
$67,500 worth of Post-Intelligencer
bonds.
Written Option Held "Blind."
The amended complaint sets forth
that in July. 1918, Mr. Taylor and Mr.
Struve entered into an oral agreement
whereby Mr. Struve was given an op
tion to purchase 4800 shares of Post
Intell'gencer stock for $310,000. The
new complaint then alleged:
"That it was further agreed that
the option agreement should be re
duced to writing but that written in
strument should stipulate that the
option was for said 4800 shares at the
price of $360,000 Instead of $310,000,
but that it was at all times under
stood and agreed between the parties
hereto that said written option was
executed solely for the purpose of per
mitting the defendant herein to ex
hibit the same to certain persons with
whom he was dealing, and that under
no circumstances should the de
fendant be required to pay plaintiff
more than the sum of $310,000 for said
4800 shares of common stock."
Bond Deal Alno Figures.
Mr. Taylor then recites that as a
part of that oral agreement it was
further orally stipulated that should
Mr. Struve make his contemplated
deal and exercise his option on the
common stock of The Post Intelli
gencer company, Mr. Struve would
personally purchase of Mr. Taylor
$67,500 par value of the corporation's
bonds at 95 per cent of their face
value, plus interest, and that the
bonds should be taken up by Mr.
Struve and paid for 'on or before De
cember 1, 1918.
Attached to the amended complaint
is what is alleged to be a copy of the
written option executed by Mr. Tay
lor to Mr. Struve. fixing the price of
the stock at $360,000 and which in
strument is made exhibit A in the
proceeding.
Mr. Taylor alleges that Mr. Struve
exercised his option to purchase the
common stock and did pay him $310,
000 "and no more," but that Mr.
Struve has failed to complete the
purchase of the $67,500 bonds.
Half of Bonds Purchased.
In May and June, 1919, Mr. Struve,
Sir. Taylor asserts, took over $32,500
worth of the bonds, leaving on Mr.
Taylor's hands $35,000 worth. Mr.
Taylor says he disposed of $15,000
worth to other persons and now holds
$20,000. Mr. Taylor declares that he
has made diligent effort to sell the
bonds since then but he has found no
market, and because of Mr. Struve's
failure to take them over, has been
damaged in the sum of $10,000..
Mr. Struve could not be reached to
day, after the amended complaint had
been filed, and his attorney, E. S.
McCord, declined to discuss Mr. Tay
lor's allegations or the alleged oral
agreement.
"This is not the time to say any
thing," said the lawyer. "We will
make our answer in court."

IN "The Cradle of Courage," now
showing at the Liberty. William S.
Hart discards the sombrero and
spurs that have made him a leading
figure in Western dramas for the
star and night stick of a policeman.
The new role affords Hart ex
cellent opportunities to display the
rugged personality that dominated his
work in previous pictures in which
he held up stage coaches and made
life unhappy for either "sheriffs or
Mexican bandits. Compared with the
matinee idol type of movie hero. Hart
is as satisfying as a tenderloin steak
among ice cream sodas. And he
handles the big emotional moments
of a scene with appealing sincerity.
'"The Cradle of Courage ' deals with
the transformation of "Square" kel
ly, an expert safe-cracker, whose out
look on life is completely changed by
war service in France, and his efforts
to go straight. Before he can take
off the sergeant's uniform with its
honorable service and wound stripes,
the old gang of crooks, of which he
was once a star member, urge him to
take up his former profession.
But a girl and a pal of trench days
exert their influence on Kelly, and
he takes the road of law and order and
becomes a member of the police de
partment. His new position brings
gripping dramatic moments, includ
ing a thrilling gun fight in the dark
with his former associates.
Bill Hart, as Kelly, is supported by
a fine cast, including Ann Little, as
his sweetheart, - -Gertrude Claire- a
little wiSD of an Irish mother with
a deep hatred of all "bulls," and Tom
Santsehi. who plays Tierney, an un

WASHINGTON, Nov. 17. Senators
from the western and southern states
are considering urging legislative ac
tion to revive the war finance cor
poration. They said today that this
was the .only agency which could
give immediate help to agricultural
interests in the "appalling" situation
resulting from the sudden fall in
prices.
A conference of western senators
and representatives ' to discuss the
matter will be called, it was said,
when Chairman Gronna. North Da
kota, of the senate agricultural com
mittee, arrives in Washington.
One suggestion is that congress
adopt & mandatory resolution direct
ing the Immediate revival of the cor
poration. In an appeal to President Wilson
to restore the corporation. Senator
Dial of South Carolina wrote that he
had discussed the matter with Sec
retary Houston, and added: "I must
say that he does not comprehend in
the least the situation, or he does not
desire to assist the American pro
ducer, and I feel that it is absolutely
useless for anyone to confer with
him further on the subject.
"I have conferred with all the lead
ers of our party and I have not yet
found a single man who does not
agree that the war finance corpora
tion should resume operations at
once."
The executive committee of the na
tional board of farm organizations
will meet here next Monday to dis
cuss possible relief measures.
Delegations named at' the recent
agricultural conference here also
asked Secretary Houston to rehabil
itate the war finance corporation and
were met with the statement that it
was not necessary, the secretary quot
ing experts to show the amount of
agricultural products which have
moved overseas.
Passage of the Capper-Hersman-Volstead
bill legalizing collective
marketing will be urged by the farm
ers' representatives at the coming
session of congress, it was said toaay
They will also ask for congressional
investigation of credit and rates of
interest.
