SECURITIES CONSIDERED WORTHLESS This Much Seems Assured in the Wrecking of the Roads. THOSE AIR MOTORS AGAIN “They are frozen out. Their holdings are worth no more than a circus poster.” That was the cool and unambiguous statement of a prominent local financier this morning, when a Star reporter asked him where the minority stockholders of the Belt and Eckington railroad companies were in the crushing process now in opera- tion between the millstones of the ma- jority stock and bondholders of the two corporations. The announcement was made with a complete knowledge of all the transactions that have hitherto marked the history of these properties, and an in- timate familiarity with those now in pro- gress, and the speaker was aware that the freezing out suggested in such an off- hand manner indicated the loss to widows and orphans of cherished possessions, and to hundreds of others who could fll afford it, a substantial portion of their property. It is easy to jell how this freezing out has been accomplished, when the history of the management of the properties 1s re- ecunted, but tre public is too familiar with the events that have transpired, both re- mote ard recent, to need their repetition new. The Star of last Saturday recited how the valuable properties were given into the possession of the big Philadelphia syn- dicate, composed of Elkins, Widener and ‘lan, and every Washingtonian knows hew ruthlessly that syndicate proceeded to utterly ruin their value and usefulness to those who had invested the'r money !n them and the public which was compelled for so long to patrenize them. Only a Miracle Can Intervene. So the inevitable has come unless some- thing unforeseen happens to prevent the completion of the conspiracy. It was said in The Star Saturday that the Belt line capital stock was $500,000, of which $223,000 1 been paid in, and that it was a ques- on to be legally determimed whether the stock could be regarded as paid up. The declaration is now made that !t can- not be regarded as otherwise because the certificates issued to represent the shares contain the clause that the stock is paid up. Whether this is right or not appears to make no difference to those engaged in completing the wreck of the road and tts companion company. The only point now at issue seems to be how soon the prop- will go under the hammer and be sacrificed in one way or the other. It was hoped at one time in the very recent past that there might be some unity of action on the part of those financlalty interested in the companies by which the equities of ali concerned would be protected, but now the possibility of such an understanding is too Temote to be worth consideration. The ma- Jerity bondholders care nothing for the minority stockho:ders, and from present appearances care a3 little for the majority stockholders,because they distrust the lat- ter with a vehemence there is no concesl- ing. A Conference With Mr. Hambleton. There was a conference yesterday even- ing at the American Security and Trust Company between Mr. T. Edward Hamble- ton, representing the majority of the stock of the Belt and Eckington roads, and sev- eral representatives of the bonds of the Belt Line. Mr. Hambieton is the senior member of the firm of Hambleton & Co. bankers, of No. 9 South street, Baltimore. He was anxious to try the experiment with the Porter compressed air motors, and be- leved that the request of the receiver for authority to issue certificates to meet the expense of making the experiment should be allowed, but he was not equipped with any satisfactory information about Mr. Porter's intentions, and it is said that a letter from Mr. Porter himself was equally unsatisfactory. The suggestion was made that the re- ceiver should visit P.ttsburg, and ascertain to a certainty what Mr. Porter was act- ually doing or intended to do, and then state to the court in connection with iis request the facts as he found them; but this was not acted on, and, indeed, nothing definite was reached at the conference. The Points at Issue. The bondholders appear determined to allow no securities—receiver’s certificates or anything else—to intervene as lens on the roads between their bonds and the properties, and the majority stock seems to be wedded to the idea of experimenting with compressed air, and will hear of noth- ing else. Some of the bondholders of both companies favor the Issue of receiver’s cer- tficates for the purpose indicated, and it is well known that the committee repre- senting the Eckington bondholders recom- mended that $5,000 worth be issued to test the Porter motor;. but the holders of the major portion of the $200,000 of Eckington bonds do not agree with their committee in this respect, and will legally fight to pre- vent it being carried out. Some of the mi- nority stockholders of both companies favor the same thing, but as they are “frozen out,” their attitude fs not consid- ered by the big parties to the controversy. Another Receiver Wanted. There is a feeling predominant among those who are interested in the controversy that the retirement of Mr. W. Kesley Schoepf from the receivership of the roads tight lead to a more comfortable feeling on the part of ail concerned, and perhaps bring about unity of action among those whose egulties are now threatened which would afford them protection in no inconsiderable degree. Mr. Schoepf has always represent- ed the Philadelphia syndicate in the roads heretofore, and it is well known that he locks upcn Mr. Dolan as his chief advisor ip all matters, no matter their character. It has been emphatically stated that the Ehiladelphians are no longer interested in the roads, but no one-can find out specifi- cally*who is associated with Mr. T. Edward Hambleton in the ownership of the major- ity stock. Mr. Hambleton himself will not divulge this, and it is not unnaturally be- Meved that Elkins, Widener and Dolan still have thelr fingers in the pte. The endeavor to have Mr. Schoepf removed, however, does not seem to be getting any more uni- ted support than other efforts of the in- terested parties, because each of the sepa- rate bodies of stockholders and bondholders seem to have candidates for the succession to the receivership if a vacancy exists.

PUSH-CART CASES. The Officer Watched Them for Seven- teem Minutes. Antonio Gatto, the Italian, and Andie Speru, the Greek, who were arrested one day last week for an alleged obstruction of the street with their push carts, and Policeman Edelin, who clubbed Speru while the latter was under arrest, appeared in Judge Miller’s court today to have their cases disposed of. Lawyer Edward Niles was in court as counsel for the Italian and Greek, and said he had made an effort to see some representative of Greece here, as he finds it impossible for these poor men to get justice. They are brought into court almost every day, he said, and fined for loitering on .the streets with their carts. Speaking of his two clients, in response to Mr. Pugh's comment about their friend- ship, Mr. Niles said that he is an Italian and they live across the street from each other. “But when they come here,” said Mr. Pugh, “they are all alike, they're agin the government.” “Where do they all come from?” court wanted to know. udging trom the number of them we must have some new ones every day.”” The push-cart merchants were arrested at 7th and H.streets, and four squares west of this corner the trouble took plece. When the llth street corner was reached the Greek insisted on going one way while the policeman wanted him to go another. Then there was trouble, and the ollicer had to use his club, he says, to subdue the Greek. Judge Miller wanted to know how many of these push-cart men there were here in buziness, and counsel for them said he thought there were about forty. “Then they are distributed very wel,” the court remarked. ‘Commenting on the case the judge spoke of the manner in which these _push-cart men had taken possession of 7th street, and told of instances that had come under his observation where citizens had heen unable to drive up to store doors and do their shopping. If let alone, the judge said, they would soon occupy the whole street, and the merchants, who pay heavy rents, would have no way of getting their custom- ers in their stores. When questioned the officer said he saw one of the men stand near the corner for fifteen minutes, while the other one re- mained there seventeen minutes. The judge said he thought the officer might have ordered the men to “move on,” for while the officer was standing there seventeen minutes there may have teen seventeen alley fights or seventeen rob- beries. He thought that the offense of standing there did not justify the loss of seventeen minutes of the officers. “Judge Kimball holds that these men must be watched,” said the officer. Judge Miller said he thought the license law should be changed and made to read that they must not stop on the streets ex- cept for the purpose of making sales. ‘The push-cart men were fined $1 each, and the officer was acquitted. “Won't your honor take the injured man’s personal bonds?” asked Mr. Niles. “I object to personal bonds,” said Mr. Pugh. The fines were paid. ES JURY COULD NOT AGREE. Case of Alleged Theft Against a Nurse Serving in a Family. The jury in the case of Martha Newton, alias Johnson, the young colored woman charged with stealing $115 from Mary Daz- elbrook the 15th of last June, reported to Judge Cole this morning that they were un- able to agree, and the judge discharged them from further consideration of the case. The young woman will probably be tried again next month, and she will spend the irtervening time in jail unless she can give bail in the sum of $500. The prisoner served as a nurse in Miss Dazenbrook’s brother’s family, and it was charged that she stole the money from Miss Dazenbrook’s trunk. She was shown to have purchased a lot of clothing, jewelry and furniture about that time, but she con- tended that her husband furnished her with the money with, which they were pur- chased. Miss Dazenbrook did not miss her money until several weeks later, and also said that she last saw it in her trunk early in June. —_—>—_—_ Washington Bible Society. ‘The Washington City Bible Society held its regular monthly meeting last evening in the rooms of the Young Men’s Christian Association, Rev. Dr. A. W. Pitzer, presi- dent, in the chair. The treasurer reported the receipt of $10 from the Metropolitan Presbyterian Church, making an amount on hand of $69.28, with the cost of grants in the month of $10.05. Twelve Bibles were granted to Mission Sunday School on Capitol Hill, and requests for grants were received as follows: Central M. E. Church, for twelve Bibles; Grace P. E. Church, for twenty-five Bibles. 5 The secretary was directed to notify the pastors of these churches that it is not the custom of the society to furnish Bibles for organized churches, but that if they will designate any families in their respective parishes who are without Bibles they will be supplied. A grant of thirty-six Bibles was made to the West Washington mission of the M. E. Church South. The president read abstracts from the re- port of the American Bible Society, and called attention to the very liberal dona- tions in money to the mission work of the several denominations in this country and other countries showing its part in the world’s evangelization.
