DECISION IS RESERVED IN GRAVEL CASE Senator Parton Swift Applies for Setting Aside of Temporary Injunction Against Holloway Co. Intimating that the efforts of the Squaw Island Freight Terminal company to put the Holloway Sand company out of business was due to the fact that it is "a overy disagreeable competitor of the combine," meaning the Buffalo Gravel corporation. Senator Parton Swift before Justice Brennan in special term of supreme court today demanded that the temporary injunction which the Squaw island company secured to prevent the Holloway company from sucking sand, grit and gravel from the vicinity of Squaw Island be discontinued and that a motion to punish the Holloway company for contempt of court for violating the injunction be denied. Decision was reserved. Senator Swift's claim was a reminder of the trial of the indictment that was returned against the Buffalo Gravel corporation and it subsidiaries as a result of the investigation of the Lockwood committee.

The defendants then contended that they were not guilty of violating the Donnelly anti trust law and one of the points of their defense was that they did not have the entire sand and gravel field to themselves because the Holloway Sand company was a competitor. Defendants were acquitted. Attorneys James W. Riley and Charles J. Newton, former attorney general, of counsel for the Squaw la-land company claimed that the Holloway Sar.d company was as guilty of petit larceny for sucking away the underwater lands of the Squaw Island company owns the portion of Squaw Island north of-, the International bridge, as if it had taken a part of the uplands.

Mr. Riley Informed the court that his affidavits showed that the operations of the Holloway company's sand and gravel sucking boats July 28, after the temporary injunction was granted by Justice Pierce, cause a lowering of two feet in the underwater lands" of the plaintiff. The object of their -contempt proceeding is to punish the defendant for this alleged corTtempt by making it pay to the plaintiff the value of the 380 cubic yards of sand and gravel it got that day and at other times when it carried on its operations in supposed violation of the restraining order. Mr. Swift contended for the Holloway compapjr'that the Squaw Island company -had made a similar attempt to put the Holloway company out of business in 1921 but that the late Justice Marcus by a decision in that equity action in which the plaintiff sought a permanent injunction held that the Holloway Sand company was within its legal rights in sucking sand and gravel in the vicinity of the island.

He argued that the plaintiff had no new facts to reopen the issue. BAD CHECK CHARGE. Charged with passing worthies? checks amounting to $1,000. Stanley Nowak. No.

Bureau Arrives to Supervise Installation of Equipment. Buffalo, which has been without commercial radio telegraph communication since the United States gov-ernment closed down the naval radio stations it has maintained along the Great Lakes since 1817, is again to have a coast station wireless telegraph service. The ENQUIRER learned this morning.

The Buffalo station, according to Edward 1. Delghan. manager of the marine department of the Intercity Radio Telegraph company, who Is here to install the elaborate equipment necessitated by the class of service to be rendered by company, will be the equal of any of the other tJreat Lakes coastal station operated by the Intercity Radio telegraph which has installed Its equipment at the former government stations at Cleveland. Rogers. Midland Sheybogan; Deighsn promises.

The! ship to shore service will be conducted on wave lengths of 00 and 70S meters. A point to ervlc between the above named places will be conducted on a wave length of 1.764 meters. Point to point service will enable the vessel owner to relay a message to a boat anywhere on the Great I-akes without the maintaining of high powered radio equipment aboard the ship. Few people reolire Buffalo has been without commercial radio telegraph service cinre December, 192C, yet siu is the case. Mr.

Ielshan informed Tne ENQUIRER, for that month the government closed down all Its naval stations which hod been handling commercial business. Until June 2S. 1923, on which date the Intercity Radio Telegraph Co. opened its Cleveland station, nil American hips were without radio service through American coastal radio stations and were oblifced to aetid Sill messages through Canadian gov-- ernment wireless stations and oenvery had to be effected- over land line telegraph wiree from the Canadian wire-Icrs station, often causing serious delay and inconvenience. Mr.

Deighan guve as an example the following: A message intended fqr Buffalo being Fnt from a ship in the vicinity of Buffalo had to route its' m)5H through the Canadian government station at Toronto and thence by land wire to Buffalo. A message which should ordinarily have taken bv minutes to w-- of'" for hours. Mr. Deighan pointed oat' that such dekiy mis lit iv-sui. ..1 serious loes of lives, 1n the event of a marine disaster where assistance could not be speedily summoned.

The station will be equipped -with a two-klJowatt navy sfflndard. long and short wave transmitter for -ship to ehore 'communication and a Simon type NIC transmitter for point to point i communication. The receiver will be a mivy standard, vaeuumauiw type regenerative with a wave length range 250 to 6.000 meters. Since the Intercity Itadio Telegraph rompanv opened its first station In Cleveland In June, 1923. it has equip-, ped fifty three vessels with wireless telegraph Mr.

Deighan The service to vessels has been syteriiijred so that at present, in cooperation with the government, weather and hydrographic reiorts and all matters of importance to to mariners are broadcast at stated intervals, without expense to the vessel owntr. Accompanying Mr. Delchan here are Joseph J. Snckett. construction engineer of the Intercity Radio Telegraph, and Mr.

Dieghan brother. Charlet, N. A. H. Freitag, a Buffalo boy, now second trick operator at Cleveland, will be placed in rharse of the Buffalo station as soon as it is opened.
