BONDHOLDERS AGAINST THE RECEIVER Recital of the Way in Which Two Great Corporations Were Injured. WILL THEY BE WRECKED? In financial and railroad circles great in- terest {s manifested in the approaching legal contest, which, it is believed, is to settle the important question whether the corporations known as the Belt Line Rail- road Company and the Eckington and Sol- diers’ Home Railroad Company shall be wrecked beyond hope of rehabilitation or not. Some of those interested believe that the attempt to saddle new burdens upon the two companies in the shape of re- ceiver’s certificates, which Mr. W. Kesley Schoepf, the receiver for the two roads, has asked of the courts the authority to issue, will mean. if successful, the complete ruin of the properties so far as their value as investments to those who furnished the money to build them is concerned. In his request for this authority, which will be acted upon by Judge Cox, October 23, Re- ceiver Schoepf stated that the money to be raised by their means would be devoted to introducing a system of compressed air motors on the two roads. Not Even a Mechanical Success. It is claimed that the air motor by which it is propesed to attempt to solve the theory of rapid transit on the two street car lines in question is simply an expert- ment, and a crude one at that. This par- ticular air motor, it is asserted, has not yet been proven even a mechanical suc- cess, and in meeting the problem where street ratlroads are concerned the com- mercial success of any innovation must be even more thoroughly established than its mechanical power to meet requirements.. It must be determined beyond all question of a doubt wheiher it will cost more to haul a passenger than the road receives from that passenger for the service it renders kim. I: is also a well-known fact that the railroad companies of today equipped with modern mechanical devices are compelled to pay so much more relatively for. the carrying of passengers that the increased travel brought about by rapld transit does not more than compensate for the increased expenses in the way of operating the lines ang the interest charges on the large sums of money borrowed to make ‘ha necessary changes from horse power to an improved system. Consequently it is held that Mr. Schoepf’s request is merely intended to raise money and further embarrass the companies in a financial way for the sole purpose of ex- perimenting with an experiment. Certificates as a Prior Lien. It is a part of the scheme to issue re- ceiver's certificates to make these securities @ preferred lien on the properties under consideration, thus securing to their hold- ers the right of their redemption before all other claims against the companies, no matter what their nature may be. In such a case, if the desired authority is granted, the receiver's certificates would be payable even before the bonds upon which the money was secured to carry on the original construction of the roads, and the hold- ers of the latter securities propose to make a bitter and determined fight against this threatened invasion of their undisputed rights. Many parties interested in the mat- ter do not hesitate to declare that the pres- ent request for the authority to issue re- ceiver's certificates would, if granted, merely be the commencement of a sys- tematic repetition of similar demands. When the air motors would prove a failure, they say, there would be nothing to prevent the receiver from asking for additional au- thority to try other experiments with other experiments, and that there would be no end to the financial burden which would thus be piled up on the companies. Some of the persons who are speculating over the present condition of Belt and Eck- ington affairs are also inclined to the belief that if the authority to issue certificates is given to Mr. Schoepf and such securities are made the first liens on the properties that they would be quickly taken up as an investment by the capitalists who now own. a majority of the stock of both companies, in order that their hold upon them might be tightened and strengthened. So the bond- holders of the two roads will contest «he attempt to increase the debt of the com- panies In the manner indicated. The bond- holders in their,relation to the companies and the property controlled by them occupy the same position as the owner of a mort- gage on a house. The trusts which they hold as securities cover the properties of the respective lines just as a mortgage covers a house, and they are opposed to allowing any other Hen to interpose be- tween their original claim and the mort- gaged property. Persistent Mismanagement. The value of the properties, if properly managed, and sensibly modernized, would be enormous, and there are some who be- lieve that the persistence with which those who have been operating the com- panies for the past three or four. years have clung to obsolete methods of transit, has been inspired by the intention of re- ducing the price of the securities of the reads to an extent where the ownership could pe secured for a song. When the Belt and Eckington roads passed into the hands of Messrs. Elkins, Widener and Dolan, the great Philadelphia street -rail- road syndicate, it was the intention to equip the lines with the overhead trolley sysiem. Firm in their bellef that the !n- fluence they had wielded with such effect in other communities would be as potent in the Disirict of Columbia, they secured the control of the two systems and pro- ceeded to work toward the accomplishment of their purpose. But there was an intelli- gent and determined opposition to the consummation of this design, and to their zstonishment Messrs. Elkins, Widener and Dolan were prevented from gridironing the capital of the nation with their dangerous and ugly contrivances. The Public Made to Suffer. From the time that they realized their inability to carry out their first conception the policy followed in the managemvat of the roads seemingly became opposed to ev- ery interest of those who patronized them. it was a flagrant case of “the public be d—d," and at the same time there was, it is asserted, inexcusable extravagance in the conduct of their affairs. Offices were stablished In an expensive suite of apart- ments in one ef the leading office buildings down town, and a clerk was placed, ap- parently, in charge of every detail. When the other and competing lines in- dicated the purpose of modernizing their roads, the Belt and Eckington companies gave no consideration to rapid transit, but rather contracted the accommodations that they already had. The Belt Line cars, which formerly ran in a steady trip on the tracks which encircle a large portion of the interior portion of the city, were taken out of this service and the road broken into series of fragments in order that the patrons, apparently, might be subjected to the greatest trouble possible. Competition Adds te the Wreck. A little over a year ago, or to be more explicit, in August, 1895, the Metropolitan Railroad Company inaugurated the under- greund electric rapid transit system on its ¥th street branch, which paralleled the 11th street line of the Belt along its most re- munerative portion. A few months ago the Metropolitan company introduced the electric system east and west, paralleling WATCHES, EMIVE ee Frey (CTU) v.

In ad- dition to the competition of the electric line the causes that led to this showing in- cluded the important ones of neglect of the public and an arrogant determination on the part of the management tu do as It pleased regardless of consequences. Are the Philadelphians Out? It was announced last year that Messrs. Elkins, Widener and Dolan had sold their interest in the two roads to Baltimore cap- italists largely interested in street rall- roads in that city and Mr. W. Kesley Schoepf, who had been the vice president and general manager of both companies, as a representative of the Philadelphia syndi- cate, retired from their direction and took charg2 of the general construction of tne Columbia and Maryland railroad, which was intended to link the cities of Washing ten and Baltimore with an electric bond. The latter road went into the hands of a receiver lately, as is well known, Mr. Schoepf having been appcinted by the courts to that position; and later, when the local companies were taken Into courts, Mr. Schoepf was likewise made receiver of them. So‘the conviction prevails here that Messrs. Elkins, Widener and Dolan still retain a substantial interest in che prop ties. the Eckington — LABOR’S FACTIONS. Trouble Over the Position of the Painters’ Assembly. The regular weekly meeting of the Build- ing Prades Council was heli last evening at the hall on 11th street northwest, with President Silver in the chair and Mr. J. M. Boyce secretary. ‘The principal matter presented for the censideration of the members was what was regarded as a failure on the part of the owners of the new Columbia Theater to keep the contract made by them with the Building Trades Council through the con- tract committee of the latter. It was stated that the agreement provided that none but those recognized as members of lator unions, affiliated with the Build- ing Trades Council, should be employed cn the theater, and that this provision has been violated not only as regards members of the Painters’ Assembly, but also elec- trical workers, carpenters and steamfitters. It was bad enough from a trades union standpoint, it was stated, to have members of the Knights of Labor employed on a job which belonged, according to the con- twact made, to the Building Trades Coun- cil, but it was testing the patience of the latter very much to have non-union men of the trades referred to taking their jobs, and the secretary was instructed to call the attention of the owners of the theater to the matter. Federation of Labor. The proceedings of the Federation of Labor, whose meeting was held last even- ing, were more than usually interesting, and members of assemblies affillated with that organization are today saying that a war Is likely to break out between the Federation and Central Labor Union in a short time. As a matter of fact, however, the rela- dions between the two central bodies have teen far from harmonious ever since the Central Labor Union was organized last winter. At the meeting of last night the delcgates from Painters’ Assembly, so it was stated, after adjournment, reported that the Co- lumbla Theater job had been unionized by the employment cf some of their members upon it, but that the contract committee of the Building Trades Council was ob- jecting to their lorger continving at work there, and had even written to the own- ers asking them in effect to decide whether or not the members of the Painters’ As- sembly should be recognized by them as union men, when, in fact, they were not BA considered by the Building Trades Coun- cil. It was also stated that a delegate from the Plasterers’ Assembly had said that the contractor for the plastering on the Co- lumbia Theater had ugreed to employ mem- bers of their organization on that work, but they refused to go to work until he had agreed to make all his jobs in the city fair, and thie ae refused to do. Continuing, the delegate said: ‘The Plasterers’ Assembly sacrificed the Colum- bia Theater job rather than sacrifice the fundamental principles of organized labor, and in the face of this, men who were posing as friends of labor were doing all in their power to defeat their legitimate efforts by organizing renegades into so- called unions.” At the request of the Tailors’ Assembly the legislailve committee was requested to ask the District Commissioners to have an inspection made of the Webster School building, which ia alleged to be in an un- safe condition. ——- Transfers of Real Estate.

Wreck of a Lake Steamer, but It is Not Known What On A special from Sandusky, Ohio, say telligence has just come from Locus Point that a vessel foundered in the lake off that point some time last week. Last Thursday, as Captain Cleaver and a ¢ of fishermen were nearing their groun they noticed a lot of wreckage. (With the ald of a glass, the cavtain and his crew say they were able to see a spar projecting from the vessel some distanc away. On going to it they found that vessel had been sunk, and the captain is of the opinion that it was a steamer. There was nothing in sight by which the name of the boat could be ascertained, and no information has beon received from any source that a buat has been lost, but it certain that a vessel has gone down at that point, and undoubtedly wita ull cn board. oo RIAL FOR McLAUGHLIN Reversal of Judgment in One of the y Lexow Cases. The court of appeals of*New York has reversed the judgment of ‘eonviction in the case of Inspector of Police MeLaughlin, ac- cused of extortion, and ha’ ordered a new trial. This was one of the bexow cases. Wm. W. McLaughlin, ex-imspector of the police department, was convicted be- fore Justice Barrett in the court of oyer and terminer of extortion,’on the com- pune of Frederick H. Séagrist, jr, a uilder, from whom, it ‘was alleged, he took $50 and guaranteed him protection from the building laws. 1 The conviction was appealed from on the ground that the jury was ‘prejudiced, and that improper evidence was‘admitted, but the appellate division of the supreme court decided in favor of the prosecution. An appeal to this court results'in a reversal and an order for a new trial. The court writes a long opinion, setting forth that the jury was in part biased, and that im- proper evidence was admitted. ———_+e-.-—____ Criticising Sir Edward Clarke.

HONOR FOR THE DEAD Monument to the 19th Connecticut Infantry, Dedicated at Arlington. ELOQUENT ADDRESSES DELIVERED The Regiment Which Fought to Defend This City. MANY IN ATTENDANCE Under the cloudless sky of a perfect In- dian summer day, upward of a hundred of the veterans of the late war who volun- teered from the state of Connecticut, gath- ered at Arlington this morning to eli- cate a monument erected by their state in honor of the 2d Connecticut Heavy Ar- tillery, originally the 19th Connecticut In- fantry. The dedicatory exercises were preceded by the thirtieth annual reunion and bus- iness meeting of the regiment. In the“lat- ter they were joined by a number of sur- vivers of the 12th Connecticut Infantry, who are on their way home from Winches- ter, Va., where a monument in honor of that iment was dedicated Monday. The 2d Connecticut Heavy Artillery was raised in 1862 under President Lincoln's second call for $00,000 volunteers, and was known as the 19th Infantry. It was re: eruited as the “Litchfield County ment,” and was mustered into the September 11, 1st The Ma ment. The monument dedicated this morning made of @ anite and sop> bronze, and i ed about half way 1 tween the west gate and the amphitheater. It consists of three bases, a lie, subdie and the corps badge, in the form of a Greek surmounting the whole, The monu- ment is six fect square at the base, and twelve feet four inches above the line. On the front of the cross, in is appears the name of ‘the F. M. Cooke. ent. On the face of the upper die, in n letters, appear the words, “Origi- Wth Conn t Infantry.” On the lower dic is the coat of arms stat ticut, in br. 1 ALD, 18 ” On the appear the names of the in which the regiment par: and the regimental history.

The Exercises. The amphitheater was well filled with Members of the a: tion and their friends and a nun.ber of officers from Fort Myer were also in tie audience. Ame the veterans of the regiment present: were . A. G. Bliss, A. R. Nettleton, Capt. Clipper, W. ©. Disbrow sree A. ‘Tucker, M. L. Chure WS W. Hin We Greily, Gray, M. pt. C. Parnialee, A. W.

Hawley of Connecticut, whose pre on this Oc:asion Was most appropri When his narre was mentioned by erator of th y three cheers w : for and they were given with a will by the men who had served under this brave Con- necticut leader.

Dean, followed by g selection by the band, “Recollections of the Wa grand mediey of war songs. The Presentation, The presentation of the monument on the behalf of the state uf Connecticut was made by W. E. Disbrow, quartermaster general of the state. In his address, Gen. Disbrow sald: t has often been stated that republics are ungrateful, but this cannot be said with truth of the state of Connecticut. Our little state has done a very great deal in the way of caring for her soldiers. Among cther things she has enacted more than thirty spcctal acts of the legisiature providing for their welfare and interest. One of the most important and interest- ing of these wae the act providing for the erection of a monument for each regi-- ment which served in the late war, leaving it to each to say where its memorial should be placed. So it comes that at Antietam there are monuments to the Sth, 11th, ith and 16th Connecticut; at Winchester, to the 12th, 13th and 18th, and at Newburn, N. C., to the 15th. We have elected to place our monument here at beautiful Ar- lington, where rests our gallant leader Sheridan. Representing, as I do, the state of Connecticut, which sent more than 55,000 men into the service, more than its quota, I take great pleasure, Mr. Presi- dent, in turning over to your custody this beautiful monument.” ‘The monument was accepted on behalf of the 2d Connecticut Heavy Artillery Asso- ciation, by Mr. Edward W. Marsh, for- merly captain of Company M. In the course of his remarks he said: “We are especially thankful that it Is our privilege to locate the memorial to the valor of our beloved regiment here at Ar- lington, so near our beloved leader. It will remain a memorial to the more than 500 members who died on the field, to those who have died since the close of the var and to those of us who are still alive, but for whom the last roll call will sound so soon. We are told that the monument is ours but for today and that it must be turned over to the post quartermaster of the War De- partment: I say to you, though, that it is ours for all time, our glorious heritage for evermore.” Judge Fenn’s Address. The principal address of the day was ¢ce- livered by Judge Augustus H. Fenn of the supreme bench of Connecticut, formerly major of the 2d Connecticut Heavy Artil- lery, and an eloquent orator. In the course of his remarks, Judge Fenn said: The 19th Connecticut Infantry was the response of Litchfield county to the call of the President for additional troops at the close of the peninsulai campaign in the summer of 1863. It sprang armed ano equipped from the loins of the people, and joined full voiced in the answering cry, “We are coming, Father Abraham, three hundred thousand more!” Our first service was under and in a slough. To be the Scavengers of Alexandria did not seem very siorious, but it was like the path of glory in this, that it led many of our dear com- rades to the grave. Cail not such deaths unuimely, or too early. “Before the fight to fall out of the ranks, Death and unsilain, To miss their glorious guerdon cf God's thanks That die for men; To fade before the sunset, when the moon Brightens the brow, Hush, rebel heart, nor answer thou soon,” When God calls ‘Now “Too Whoso has loved the light, for him the sun Will rise anew, Whoso has done his best leaves naught undone That man can do.” Then came our detail in the forts, long- continued, fully occupicd, arduous in many w useful to the country in all ways, ig in our transferrence to anown branch under the name of the 2d Connec- ticut Heavy Artiller, ter perform the sig) us in the field. en came the 17ih day of May, 1864, and from that time forward 1 shall here oniy say, whe: is of the Army of the Potomac, under Grant and Meade, and of the Army of the Shenanuo- ah, under Sheridan, in’ that last year of the war, from the Wilderness through Cold : to.
