Schadt Syndicate, organized to pur- chase certain properties of the bankrupt Hoffman estate, was re- vealed last Wednesday and put into the offical record at a hearing to the Hoffman bankruptcy investigation before Referee Redmond Conyng- ham in court Room No. 2. The members of the syndicate, according to Michael R. Hoffman, Jr. are Dr. Schadt, Allentown and Maytown, his brother-in-law; Dr. and Mrs. D. Sherman Smith, this city, an David Borton, Esq., Phila- delphia. Hoffman gave this information after a half-hour's grilling during which time he attempted to disciaim any knowledge as to the personnel of the syndicate, While every attorney involved knew privately who composed the syndicate, Hoffman was placed on the stand to give the names so they would get into the record. Threats of contempt of court pro- ceedings and advice of finally caused Hoffman to his evasive replies.

Truman, secretary of the commission, said. The abun- dance of the animals in these sec- tions has produced a scarcity of their natural food with the result they have been grazing over wheat fields and eating the tender shoots of orchard trees. The sections opened to this spe- cial season include Rloom, Brady, Huston, Sandy and Union townships in Clearfield county; Jackson, Onei- da and part of Todd townships in Huntingdon county; and Ross and Tobyhanna townships, in Monroe county. To take advantage of this shoot- ing, sportsmen will obtain a special license costing $2. Farmers, howev- er, will be permitted to hunt on their own lands without license. Each hunter may kill one deer with- out visible horns, the secretary said. een Cr TWO COVERED BRIDGES MAY BE REMOVED . at a meeting of the Board of Directors of the Automobile Club on Friday night at the home of P.

Hearings Held On Tobacco Claims REFEREE CONYNGHAM HEARS PETITIONS FOR GOODS IN HANDS OF HOFFMAN TRUSTEES The reclamation hearing for to- bacco in the hands of the trustees in bankruptcy of the Hoffman Leaf Tobacco Company, was held last week before Referee Raymond Con- yngham, at Lancaster. The greater part of the time was taken up with the hearing of the claim of N. R. Hoffman and B. F. Hoffman, trading as Hoffman Broth ers, of Bainbridge, who claim 1,385 cases of tobacco. This tobacco the Hoffman Brothers say they purchas- ed from the Hoffman Leaf Tobacco Company prior to December 1 1925. N. R. Hoffman testified there were a large number of cases of to- bacco in the warehouse at Green- ville, Ohio, and some at Maytown, all of which was their tobacco. M. R. Hoffman, Sr., testified that the tobacco had been sold to Hoff- man brothers before January 1, 1296. It was worch over $104,000. On a lengthy cross-examination it was brought out that the tobacco had been in the Greenville ware- house, and it had been left over from the 1917 crop after C. E. Bair and Sons had received their consignment. W. L. Mains, warchouse foreman for the Hoffman Leaf Tobacco Com pany, at Greenville, testified he had no tobacco set aside for Hoffman Brothers as was customary with other sales. He had received let- ters and telegrams from Hoffman, concerning tobacco to be shipped to Rosenwald. After setting aside the Bair tobacco the others were allow- ed to lay on the floor for some time. Later invoiees were sent to the Marietta office but it was shown that the invoices had been made out | for the tobacco on the last day it was weighed and packed in Green- tville. M. R. Hoffman, Jr., was called ‘and testified it was not uncommon { for invoices to be made prior to re- ceiving the weight from the Green- ville warehouse. This was done to expediate matters, he said.
