Supreme Court Rules fn Favor of B. & M. { | | —— Boston, April 15 U® -— The full @ of the Massachusetts supreme |court today dismisse a suit brought |by Mrs. Helen D. Morse of New | York, to compel directors ef the | Boston & Maine railroad company to pay dividends on non-cumulative | preferred stock for 1925, 1926 and part of 1927, The total amount of accumulated dividends unpaid to July, 1525, ap- plicable to stock held by those did not assent to the B. & M. reor- ganization plan was $2,655,877. Mrs. Morse owned 100 shares on which | she sought to have the directors de- clare dividends. The court, in fta decision, affirming a decres of a single justice, austained the rail- road’s demurrer and dismissed the bill. | Mrs. Morse alleged that the cer- poration had a surplus of $9,362,889' at the beginning of 1926 and of $13,- $57.433 at the end of 1935, The @f- rectors claimed that $8,266,003 ef dividends unpaid to assenting stoek- | holders constituted & gift to the. jcompany and payment of dividends. Wwithout setting up an equal eum would constitute a breach of trust. “The right of a stockholder to a declaration of dividends rests in the discretion of the directors,” Judge Carroll, who wrote the decision, sald. “This is & general rule applying ta both preferred and common stock- holders. This discretion is net abso- lute, but as long as it is fairly exer- cised the stockholder cannet com- plain, It a surplus exists it may in the judgment of the directors be ap- Plied to dividends, or to improve the company property. The fact that the dividends are non-cumulative dees not alter this rule.” The court held that it thers was & surplus as claimed by Mrs. Meree, she would not necessarily be depriv- ¢d of her dividends for those years although their declaration may have becn postponed. The court sald there was nothing in the allegations to show any abuse of discretion by the directors. | Yale's Baseball Team | Makes Sorry | New Haven, April 13 UP—Wheth- er the raw weather after the milder | conditions south during the Kaster | trip affected the Yale basebsll nine \in its game with the New Haven Prots of the Eastern league yester- !day was not explained today, but Coach “S8moky” Joe Wood's chargen. | were beaten 13 to 0 through ragged | felding.
