Minority stockholders of the Chesa- peake & Ohio Railroad, organized as a committee, with headquarters at Rich- mond, today protested to the Imersmw Commerce Commission against the re- cent proposal of that railroad to com» plete lt.x contemplated merger with the Pere Marquette system. The Richmond 2ommittee has op- posed continuously the merger plans ndunced by O. P. and M. J. Van | Sweringen of Cleveland and their as- sociates, who constitute a majority among stockholders of several ather railroads in addition to tho Chesapeake hio. The last move of the Van Sweringen interests was to ask the commission to allow the Chesapeake & Ohio to pay $13333 per share for approximately 174,000 shares of Perc Marqueite com- mon stock, now owned Ly the Nickel Plate Railroad. ‘The minority protest today said that this purchase by the Chesapeake & Ohio would “largely add profit to the Van Sweringen interests.” which con- trol the Nickel Plate. The protest also asserted that the price cn Pere Mar- quette stock was ‘in excess of its real value,” and denied that the transaction contemplated was in the public in- terest. When the Chesapeake & Ohio laid the Pere Marquette purchase proposal before the commission, it asked for authority to issue 300,000 shares of its own stock at par to present stock- holders. There was no minority protest made today against this feature of the merger’ program. “OIL QuomatiC OIL BURNER We will be pleased to send our Heating Engineer to examine heat- HEATI > AT ITS BE. ing_plants of homes—both large and small and give estimate of cost to instal - Phone _for tllustrated lite ture, The ' Last Word.

The lightning seemed to ground be- tween two courts at the club and per- sons standing many yards away felt the shock. Miss Mary Duffy, Miss Garber's opponent, declared Miss Garber seemed | framied in sparks for an instant. Miss Garber, very pale, left the courts and received permission from the referee to hold over the match until today. Misses Mary Hall and Louise Omwake, on the next court, also experienced the same sensation as Miss Garber, al- though not in the same degree. Both declared they felt a tingling sensation from head to foot. The bolt yesterday was the sccond | which has struck near the club during | the past week. Last Saturday a tree | opposite the club grounds was struck, | temporarily puttting out the lights and | impairing telephone service. {FRUITLESS SEARCH MADE' FOR FUG|TIVE GUNMAN} Hyattsville Police Seeking Emew Cole, Accused of Shooting Eltrang- ed Wife and Her Companion.
