PLANT Sheridan People Take Hand in Affair and Local Stock holders May Ask For an Investigation of Their Own PLANT IS MOVED Profit on Sale of Plant Held to be Justified by Howard; Other Suits May Grow Out of Case. From all appearances the suit filed in the circuit couht Friday by the Albany Fruit Juice Cow against J. A. Howard to collect $1,000 alleged to be due from the sale of the plant to Shipley ft Co., of Sheridan, Ore, is going to develop into an interesting af fair. George G. Brown, who created the process by which the Albany logan berry juice was made, nd who was the moving spirit in the organization of the local company and who was president of the concern until internal dissentions split the organization wide open, is in the city from Sheri dan to take a hand in the affair. Mr.' Brown states that if anyone has a come-back on J. A. Howard for excess profits it is. bis company, who, he states commissioned Howard to buy the plant at the lowest possible fig ure. The suit filed in the circuit court de mands that Howard pay over to the stockholders of the Albany Fruit Juice Co., $1,000 which he received from the sale of the machinery to the. Sheridan people." The complaint al leges that Howard sold the plant for $4,000, whereas only $3,000 was turn ed over to the stockholders. From his point of view Mr. Howard exhibits bill of sale for the plant transferring the property to his name for the consideration of $3,000.. He then sold it to the Sheridan people .. on hi own account, he alleges. Mr. N Howard denies having recetvd a com mission from the local stockholders for his services. When the plant hit the rocks in 1918 Mr. Brown was in the east for the purpose of taking order, for the juice produced here. While he was in Chicago, L. M. Curl, a member of the company was sent to that city, where trouble ensued and Brown was let out of the organization. It is said that at that time there were about 60,000 gallons of juice at the plant, valued in the neighborhood of t70,000. It is reported that cer tain of the stockholders of the com pany have asked the state corporation commissioner to come to Albany and make an examination of the affairs of the company and demand an ac counting of the firm's transactions. The case presents a triangular tangle and it is possible that before the present suit is disposed of that at least two more will be filed. Immediately upon the transfer of the machinery and equipment of the plant to the Sheridan people trucks were secured and the entire business was moved to their home vity. The outfit is said to be worth between $7,- 000 and $8,000 at the present time. All of the machinery was modern, the pipes silver lined and everything of the latest design for manufacture and bottling of loganberry juice. With the passing of the plant Al bany loses a valuable industry, which, if run right from the beginning would now be greatly increased in size and furnishing nothr payroll of no mean dimension for the people of the city. In addition, Albany would be getting some valuable advertising all over the east as" a result of the industry. President Will Issue Formal Call for League WASHINGTON, Jan. 12 A. P.
