RULING ON WERGER. ~ ROTEST DELAYED Justice Gordon Takes Under Advisement Noonan Piea for Injunction. The application of John J. Noonan. | Jargest minority stockholder of the | Washington Railway & Electric Co.. for an injunction to restrain the trac- | tion company from entering the pro-| posed merger, was taken under advise- | ment by Justice Peyton Gerdon yester- | day afternoon after hearing arguments in Bquity Division 2 of the Dis-| trict Supreme Court. Justice Gordon | announced from the ben~h he probabl; y | would render his decision next Tuesday. | 8. R. Bowen, counsel for the street | car company, made th: opening argu- | ment in support of its motion to dis- miss the suit, while William G. Johnson appeared for Noonan and led the argu- ments in support of the injunction Mr. Noonan, who owns 1.500 shares| of stock, also asks that the court ap- point a receiver to take possession of the stock, held in the lccal traction company by the North American Co. of New York, in which Harley P. Wil- son is a director. That company con- trols the local one Tilts With McAdoo. ‘The proceedings were enlivened just before court adjourned by a verbal tilt | between Joseph D. Sullivan, who is as- sociated with Johnson as counsel for | Noonan, and William Gibbs McAdoc former Secretary of the Treasury, over the appearance of Mr. McAdoo as counsel for ‘the North American Co. ‘When McAdoo interrupted the proceed- ings to offer a motion to quash the service on the North American Co., he ‘was rebuked sharply by Sullivan, who | complained that he had nct entered a formal appearance. Mr. McAdoo later ‘withdrew his motion. Both Bowen and John S. Barbour, appearing for the local traction com- y, asked the court to dismiss the | junction bill on the ground that the | merger law of 1925 removed the re- strictions and inhibitions contained in the La Follette anti-merger act of 1913, and on additional ground that Mr. Noonan's injunction bill was premature and vague. They argued that the act of 1925 supercedes the La Follette act and had removed inhibitions against a foreign utility corporation owning more than 20 per cent of the capital stock in a local utility com- Hits Absentee Control. Mr. Johnson, however, held that the n:tn‘r Iaw of 1925 permitted, but did | the compantes to “merge, | lfl it did not remove the inhibitions | #s to the stock holdings by “oreign mflons Mr. Noonan is not op- posec to the merger as a merger, he :finuw&mtmmopmmlhe[ w of 1913 being violated by the own- | ership of stock in the Washington Rallway Co. by the North American.

Mellon Gives Address. “In peace as in war,” declared Sec- retary of the Treasury Mellon, | the language which has become tradi tional in the service, ‘the Coast Guard never fails’ Its business is to serve the Nation, and it does so in a way that gives heroic qunmy to its whole existence. ~We impose upon it many and varied tasks.

During the war, he said, “one of the Coast Guard ships, | {the Tampa, sunk by an enemy sub-| marine, went down with every officer | and man on board—115 in all, whose; names inscribed on yonder monumen!
