ment of the big suit, filed April 8
in district court by Mr. Howe, is
that three stockholders who filed a
petition of intervention in the suit
two weeks ago, refuse to ratify the
agreement, according to R. lea
ser, attorney representing the three
stockholders.
Gets Restraining Order.
Mr., Howe left bis position1 as
manager of Armour & Co. here,

president and general manager of
the' newly built Skinner Packing Co.
at a salary of $31,500 a year under
a 20-ycar contract and-a bonus of
1.000 shares of stock annually for
the first five years.
March 1 he became president.
April 8 Lloyd M. Skinner notified
him that he was discharged and Mr.
Howe secured an order from the dis-
trict court at midnight of that day
restraining Mr. Skinner or other of
ficers of the company from ousting
him-. Since then attorneys and prin
cipals have been trying to bring
about a settlement. j
Stockholders Object'
This would have succeeded how,
except for the fact that the-threeN
stockholders wont agree to paying
Mr. Howe $231',5t0 for four,months'
work.
The stockholders who intervened
in the big suit are Jacob F. Paper
nick. Frank Chittenden and Andrew
C. Kastner. Their suit asked the
court to stop .Messrs. Howe anil
Skinner from carrying . out the
proposition which, the stockholders
alleged, provided for a $200,000 cash
bonus -for Mr. Howe. .'
J. A. C. Kennedy, general attorney
for the Skinner company, said yes
terday he expects to see the whole
trouble smoothed out within a week.
Killing Departments Idle.
"The plant is there. v It is a per
fect plant," he said. "There is no
trouble except this temporary vari
ance of opinion, and I believe, that
will be 'straightened out to the sat
isfaction of the officers and every
body concerned." '
Lloyd M. Skinner declined to
make any comment. "
The killing department of the
splendid Skinner company packing
bouse has been idle for several
days. Other departments, however,
are operating full blast. -

Bluebeard Victim ,
May Delay His Trial
Los Angeles, Cat, May 1. -The
failure of a searching parry tofind
the body of Nina ee Deloney tyay,
according to the district attorney,
delay further" proceedings against
Walter Andrew Watson, alleged
bigamist and murderer. Watson, in
a statement made Thursday night,
was alleged to have told of a score
of marriages and of the subsequent
murders of four of the women he
had wed
Mrs. Deloney was one of the mur
dered ones, he said, and gave explicit
directions for finding her in - San
Diego county. '
District Attorney Thomas. Lee
Woolwine, with a party of investw
gators, went to the spot he had in
dicated, but a search of several
hours failed to discJose the loca
tion of the woman's body. In order
to bring a successful charge of mur
der against the man, Woolwine said,
it is necessary to find the body, fo
complete the needed proof. Mrs.
Deloney was the only one of the
women alleged- to have been killed
in Los Angeles county, hence the
murder proceedings are at a stand
still until this point is cleared. Pho
tographs of the probable location
where the body was concealed will
be shown to Watson today, and he
will be asked to indicate the spot
for a further search." -

British Dealers Say Food
Prices Will Go No higher
London, May l.-r-British food ex
perts believe that prices have
reached their pinnacle and that
hencrforth a slow andgradual de
cline will set in.
Reasons advanced by large whole
sale houses are: First, mechanical
transport and tractors are being
more widely used in all food produc
ing countries, thus adding vast acre
age to food production that formerly
grew food tor horses; second, high
European prices have stimulated
production abroad and heavily in
creased , harvests will son be
reaped r third, there are large stocks
of food in British warehouses and
docks that will soon have to be put
on the market to preventt loss from
spoiling: fourth, the United States
has shut down on food and other
credits for most of ifurope, while
England's credit is still good
hence America's exportable surplus
will have to come to England,
which can re-export.
Britain's food crop is expected to
be larger, this year, owing o the
plentifulndss of labor.
