ANSWER FILED
BY MRS. HEWITT
IN PEPCO SUIT
In the case of Sarah M. Hewitt
against Central Public Service cor
poration and others growing out of
sale of stock in that corporation to
Mrs. Hewitt a reply has been filed
In circuit court by Mrs. Hewitt in
which she sets forth activities of
the Pep company she avers should
estop it from alleging in its answer
that it sold a block of stock to tne
Albert E. Peirce company of Chi
cago, thus had no control over how
such stock was sold, in tne reply
Mrs. Hewitt asks for $2000 for re
imbursement for money paid for
stock, $1000 in special damages and
also asked to be released as a stock
holder in the Central Public Ser
vice comoratlon.
She alleges that tne Airjert reirce
company offered all of the em
ployes of the Pep company a com
mission on stock transactions and
that the employes with the know
ledge of the company used the com
pany offices, stret cars and places
of business to push such stock sales.
The reply further alleges that, in
a manner unknown to the paintlff.
the Central Public Service corpora
tion returned to the Pep company
the considerations which acting
through the Peirce company had
been received from Oregon investors
for sale of C.P.S. stock and that in
June, 1933, the Pep company' re
turned about $7,000,000 in preferred
stock to its former owners, and. ap
proximately $2,500,000 worth of
stock to people similarly situated as
the plaintiff who were Induced to
buy CJ.S. stock. Among properties
transferred to the Pep company by
the Albert Peirce company, states
the reply, were stocks and bonds
of other corporations in excess of
$7,500,000 which the Pep company
has pledged for a loan made to
that company on the newly acquired
stock as collateral.
By such transactions, avers Mrs,
Hewitt in her reply, the Pen com
pany has ratified and confirmed
and received benefits of transacr
Hons Involving sale of C.P.S. stock
disposed of in Oregon Including the
block of stock purchased by the
plaintifi. By reasons of which, says
the reply, the Pep company should
be estopped from setting up the
claim that the Albert E. Peirce com-
pany was not acting as its agent in
the original sales ot u.r.s. siock.

six months to one year in Jackson

after his release he was. arrested
again and again convicted of viola

prisonment. Under the law the court lacked
discretionary power and Palm was
placed in Jackson prison sentenced
for life.
Leading repeal organizations
charged he had been "framed" and
so insistent were their exortations
that the state parole department
made a formal Investigation. No
evidence of police Irregularity was
disclosed, however.
Interest in the case continued
Organizations came to his aid, law
yers volunteered services, but' at
tempts to declare the law uncon
stitutional failed.
Agitation against the law forced
the legislature, however, to amend
it in 1929 and reduce punishment
under the habitual criminal provi
sions for liquor law violations. At
the same time former Governor
Fred Green reduced Palm's sentence
to 7 Vi to 15 years in conformance
with the new laws.
Last fall the state overwhelmingly
repealed the prohibition laws and
swept into office a democratic re
gime pledged to leniency for liquor
law violators.
Today the governor commuted his
sentence to five year and nine
months the exact time he has
served.
His release marks the release of
one of the last of the liquor law vio

CODE LIKELY TO
BE FORCED ON
ALL CANNERIES
Local canners are wondering when,
how and whether the federal con
trol of industry will hit them and
seem to still be up in the air.
However, they were stimulated to
renewed interest when they got re
ports from California today that
evidently the iron hand to being felt
there in particular by the California
peach Industry. According to the
report received by canners here the
peach association was notified yes
terday by governmental autnonty to
get its code ready to come in under
the control or, says the report, the
association was told it would be
given a code if It didn't prepare one.
This report also gives rise to a
question of local interest as to
whether control when it comes will
be over the canning industry as a
whole or whether it will affect in
dividual products such as cherries,
prunes, loganberries or so on aown
the line. It is understood what was
specifically interesting the govern
ment in the matter of California
peaches was the question of the
price to tne grower and mat tne
rest is considered Incidental. The
peach industry is the major industry
of the coast as far as its effect on
fruit canning is concerned and the
peach crop, its size, price and gen
eral consumption, has a big effect
on small fruits here.
Northwest prune men have been
meeting with the idea ot getting
ready for some sort of stabilization
plan under government control and
expect to meet again soon, but it is
understood they are waiting for
some sort of lead from California,
and as yet have not received it.

RACKETEERS GET
STRANGLE HOLD
New York, July 13 (LP) Racketeers
have a "strangle hold" on the na
tion and in New York City alone
exact a tribute of more than $250,-
000,000 annually, Municipal Court
Justice Nicholas M. Pette told tho
Queens County Grand Jury associa
tion. A total of 123 New York industries
are preyed upon by racketeers, he
said, with the consumer ultimately
paying the bill.
"This nefarious practice has in
creased tremendously during the
past few years," Pette declared.
"The fear which the public has
of retaliation on the part of rack
eteers should they testify against
them must be conquered," the mag
istrate said.
Tlie association adopted a reso
dution pledging its full support to
stamp out racketeering and also
went on record as favoring a stata
law making kidnaping punishable by
death.
