By the Associated Press. 2 NEW YORK, November 22.—Sul# for the recovery of $200,000,000, which, it is alleged, is the amount of loss sus- tained by the Denver and Rio Grande Raflroad as a rdsult of an unlawful combination and conspiracy on the part of men who served on the direc- torate of the railroad during the past ten years, was started yesterday in the supreme court.

In 1920 the stockholders’ protective committee was organized and the suit brought is the result of its efforts. Among the members of the_commit- tee are George T. Powers, Joseph J. ga%ulv;. James Nelson and Benjamin - In its complaint the stockholders’ committee asserts that for many years the Denver and Rio Grande rail- road carried on a prosperous business, and in the ten years from 1900 to 1910 paid preferred dividends in full. The complaint alleges that in 1915 the defendants entered into a con- spiracy to wreck the Denver and Rio Grande, and to cause all its properties to be absorbed and wiped out by ad- verse interests. rge Interest Was Defaulted. As the first step in this direction, the complaint says, the alleged con- spirators, directors of both the Mis- souri Pacific and the Denver &nd Rio Grande, caused the latter to default a mortgage interest payment to the Western Pacific, although the road had ample cash resources to meet the same. By this action and suc- ceeding ones the directors caused foreclosure proceedings to be ini tuted against the Rio Grande, it add: In one protest sent to the dire: s the stockholders’ committee wrote: “During the past few months the directors and officers of th& Denver and Rio Grande have been mute and immovable, while a death blow was being dealt the company. They have supinely allowed properties of tre- menddus value, doubtless worth $80,- 000,000, to be sold for the absurd price of $5,000,000, under a_defective and unintelligible notice of sale, whereby assets worth millions of dollars were not revealed.” The stock of the railroad was from th J R.

This condition is re- ported eral eastern shore section, where most of the holly sold in this section is own. The berry situatiog was brought about largely by tHe freese and heavy snowstorm of last April. ‘The holly berry at that time was ine full blossom and, as a result, met the fate of the fruit blossom. Another contributing element to the scarcity of berries, according to E. D. Bozman of Somerset county, one of the ploneer holly growers of that section, is a vast army of rosebugs, which made t}elr appearance during the month of* May and devastated that part of the ‘blossoms which escaped the ravages of the storm the pre- ceding month. ‘The ook is the same in Dela- ware as in this state, and Virginia and North Carolina have fared no better, notwithstanding their geo- graphical location, says Mr. Bozy man.
