INVENTOR’S SON SUES HERE FOR 15 MILLIONS (ConOnnod RT-wm Psfu Onfc) ®*s daughter, and the following infant children, Helen B. Lowry, Thomas Lew and Jean Bulllt Lowry. Some of tho cuildrea nave become of age. the suit states, since the death of their father. The camp lain ants in the suit allege that at the time of the death of Lowry he area the owner of $29,500 worth of stock la the Columbia Creosoting Coru -1 any and one share in the Indiana Creo soting Company, par value of 1100, and all of this stock was pledged as col lateral eecurity to secure a loan to him in the aum of $7,900, and that the actual value- of the collateral security at that lime was at least $75,000, the suit con tends. At the time of Lowry's death there waa an interference suit in pro frets against Lowry involving said Lowry process. The suit alleges “that Immediately upon the death of said Lowry the defendants formulated a scheme which they carried out as hereinafter stated to defraud the estate, the widow and the children from their rights and interests in and to the Lowry process and the stock, that as a part of the scheme and to carry it out they embarrassed the widow financially, first by discovering that she nad no as sets and no money, by paying her hus band for eleven days' work and refusing r to pay $11,500 which he had earned from the sale of oils and had lawfully due him. by which each of the defendants said and represented to the widow were not due him.” The suit alleges that the defendants refused to pay the $11,500 commissions for the sale of oil unless the adminis trator asaign to them a quit claim of the interests of the estate in the pat ents and that each of the defendants represented to the administrator that they were the owners of and held title to the patents by virtue of a purported assignment which the defendants are de clared to have claimed that Lowry had executed and delivered to the American Creosoting Company prior to his death. The complaint states that the admin istrator, thinking the claim was valid, executed a contract by which the estate was supposed to relinquish all rights to the Lowry process and that there was no actual financial consideration made In this agreement. The suit alleges that the assignment was made by the administrator because he “relied upon the false statements and representations as herein stated as to the ownership of said Lowry Process.” ‘•That the defendants and each of them have by reason o£ said fraudulent scheme and the assignments procurred thereby, obtained the sole, only and execluslve use of the Lowry Process by which they bave made millions of dollars as herein before stated,” the suit alleges. It Is alleged in the suit that when Thomas Lowry, the son. became of age he made an Investigation to determine *the validity of the assignments. The suit states that Mr. Fletcher, act ing as a trustee for himself and Hert, assigned and conveyed to the Anglo- American Tar Products Company, a West Virginia corporation, of which Hert was president, and that on Oct. 13, li*l4. the Anglo-American Tar Products Company assigned (•> Hert the said Lowry process and that Here now claims to be owner of it. The suit was filed by Attorney John W. Becker, of 75S Lemeke annex, for the plaintiff. FLETCHER SAYS SUIT IS WITHOUT GROUNDS Concerning the suit filed in federal court today against himself, Alvin T. Hert of Kentucky, and the American Creosoting Company, asking damages to taling $15,000,009, Stoughton A.

DEMOCRATS MEET TO NAME TICKET MATE FOR GOV. COX (Continued From Page One.) cession, participated In by wearily de lirious partisans, the scenes of which will live long in the memories of those who witnessed them. The last ballot started by giving the Ohio governor majorities from the very first. As state after state fell into line for Cox It became certain that nothing shun of a miracle could stop his nomination either on that ballot or the next suc ceeding one. • Every one knew It was close to a nomi nation. Half a dozen chairmen of delt gatious which had voted for McAdoo, quick to scent the drift, leaped to their feet clamoring for recognition. They wanted to register changes lu their votes. They were a bit too slow. Unobserved by many, Samuel B. Amidon, national committeeman from Kansas, and one of the McAdoo managers, had come quietly to the edge of the speaker’s platform. He tugged at Senator Robinson’s elbpw. “The gentleman from Kansas,” "bel lowed Robinson above the din. The hall was in an uproar. Amidon raised his hand for silence. Robinson was pounding madly with his gaTel and the table was dancing under the force of his blows. “I move,” yelled the Kansan as soon as he could make htmself heard, “I move that the nomination of Gov. James M. Cox be made unanimous." For a bare instant there was a hush. Then the hall was thrown into an uproar again. For five minutes the uproad continued. Robinson fairly shivered the table with bla rain of blow* from the gavel. When he succeeded in restoring a sem blance of order, he put the motion of the 110 C. 0.

There was a roar of "ayes” to hi* ques tion and If there were any noes they were lost In the coming chorus. Things started breaking favorably for Gov. Cox at the beginning of the night session. Thirty-four ballots had been taken up to that time and on none of them had any of the leaders showed any formidable strength. McAdoo had passed Gov. Cox on the thirtieth ballot In the late afternoon. For six ballots McAdoo held the lead, with Cox always close behind and trail ing the two of them was A. Mitchell Palmer. The big Pennsylvania delegation, aug mented by Georgia’s twenty-eight votes and a scattering of others, had kept the attorney general always In the running. When adjournment was taken for dinner at the end of the thirty-sixth bal lot, party leaders and delegates were al most a unit In declaring that the situa tion was hopelessly deadlocked. On the thirty-seventh and thirty eighth baßots after the convention met m night session, the situation remained practically the same. McAdoo led on the thirty-eighth with 405.5 votes. Cox polled 383.5 and Palmer 211. Just after the official resultr of the thirty-eighth hud been announced, Charles C. Carlin, the Palmer manager, took the platform. “X am Instructed,” he said, “by A. Mitchell Palmer to Inform those who have supported him that he greatly ap preciates their loyalty. Mr. Palmer, however, Is unwilling to delay the pro ceedings further and he has authorized me to release the delegates pledged to him so that the next president of the United States may be nominated here tonight.” Carlin then moved a twenty-minute re cess in order to give the delegates time to consider the matter. Connecticut, Massachusetts. Michigan, ! Rhode Island, Virginia and the District of Columbia, which had formerly given THE FAIR STILL IN OUR OLD LOCATION 407-417 WEST WASHINGTON STREET Palmer majorities of their delegations, switched over to Cox. The Palmer strength fn Georgia, In Maine and in Porto Rico was given to McAdoo. Palmer’s own Pennsylvania delegation hung with him on the next ballot as a parting mark of respect. Later it gave a majority to McAdoo until the final forty-fourth ballot, when it switched to Cox. The inheritance of so much Palmer strength again shot the Ohio governor Into the lead. He polled 468.5 votes on the thirty-ninth ballot and after that he was never headed. McAdoo had 440 on the same ballot. On the fortieth ballot Cox went to 490. On the forty-first ballot he went to 497.5, on the forty-second he shot ahead to 540.5, on the forty-third he received 586, and at last he went over. PAPER SAYSINDIANA STARTED STAMPEDE Special to The Time*. SAN FRANCISCO, July 6—The San Francisco Chronicle, independent news paper, attributes the start of the Cox Stampede to the action of Indiana in withdrawing eighteen votes from Mc- Adoo immediately after Palmer got out of the race. The Chronicle says this action shook the faith of McAdoo delegations and gave the impression to the released Palmer delegates that Murphy, of New York, Brennan, of Illinois, and Taggart, of In diana, had determined during the recess to name Cox. When Palmer withdrew Indiana was voting for McAdoo, with the exception of George Pigman, of Liberty, who re fused to cast a McAdoo vote. During the recess, State Chairman Bosse, of Indiana, and W. H. O’Brien lined up the delegates for Cox, and by Women’s and Misses' fjjSlly Fine Tailored SUITS m $19.98 Men’s Furnishings Specials $2.00 MEN’S UNION SUITS, balbrig gan and ribbed, short sleeves and an kle length.
