Under an order of Thursday, the court sustained a motion of the de- Owens-Illinois Glass Co. to dismiss the complaint on ground that the pleadings disclose the plaintiff has no valid existence as "Trustees of the Citizens Investment Fund of Alton" and hence cannot in law maintain the suit as trustees.

In the same order the court overruled a defense contention that beneficiaries of the trust must be named as parties to the suit, holding the entering of the; beneficiaries Is not necessary to the action. In the motion of the defendant company for dismissal of the injunction suit it was contended that all original truitees of the Citizens Investment fund are read, and that the trust agreement, set up in 1897, made on provision for naming successor trustees. For reason it was the plaintiffs were not legally in position to maintain suit as trustees.

June 12 Resolu lions opposing legislation which described as favoring cooperative over individual private enterpris in the coal industry were adopte today by the American Retail Coa Association at the closing sesslo of its annual convention. The resolutions expressed belie consumer cooperatives were favor ed by enactment of the Natlona Bituminous Coal Act of 1937. The resolutions favored legisl (ion which would place competin fuels, such as gas and oil, upon a equal plane with the retail bitum inous coal industry, as regards ation and regulation by govern mental bodies.

uring that interval it was stolen. Within the next hour there came i police attention a curious chain circumstances that are believed have a bearing on the dlsap- earance of the policeman's new utomobile. From the Poore residence at ixth and Easton streets a report received that a man had en- red the Poore automobile, parked the curb in front of the resi- ence, and apparently had attempt- to start it. In the automobile fter he had left it and walked on found a set of keys which did ot fit the car, while the keys of rtr. Poore were missing.

From other residents of the icighborhood it was learned the man had been seen to enter other' ars, moving on after successive pparent failures to get any of the ars started. On examining the keys left in the 'oore car, police found they bore a name plate, presumably of the owner. But the man whose name vas on the keys could not be located last night, and up to noon today there had been no trace of him iecured. Police are working on a theory hat it was the man who was seen rylng to start cars who made off Patrolman Galloway's new sedan, but nothing had been learned which would provide an explana- ion of his strange actions, or throw definite light on his identity. Police say that the cars reported them as having been tampered with were all of the same make.

Dynamite Stolen from Reliance Quarry Office P.esponding to a call from the Reliance Whiting Co. plant at Sixteenth and Alby streets shortly after 6 a. m. today, police" learned that the office had been entered and ransacked during the night, also that a vault for storage of explosives had been broken into and several sticks of dynamite and some caps apparently taken. The burglary was discovered by a plant foreman.

The intruder had removed a window sash to enter the office, and had left the room in a disordered condition. It was not believed anything was taken from the office. W. C. Beiser of 1500 Highland avenue had reported Friday that eight sacks of cement had disappeared from the scene of a construction job at Eleventh and Langdon streets.
