New York, Dec. 13—Through de- cision of the appellate division of the | supreme court today the recent“order restraining the New York Central | raflroad from selling its control of the | Rutland Railroad company to the New | York, New Haven and Hartford rail- road was reversed. In the prevailing opinion Presiding Justice Ingraham de- clares that the suit apparently was brought in the interest of minority stockholders of the Rutland to compel the NeWw Haven road to purchase their stock at the same price pald the New York Central. Justice Ingraham'’s opinion points Gut that the system of the New York Central is in fact a much greater com- petitor of the Rutiand than is the New Haven and says that If it would be illegal for the New Haven to obtain more serious violation of the federal statute for the Central to continue in oontro]l of that road. The effect of the injunction would be to restrain the Central from relieving itself of the ownership which is alleged to violate the law. In this connection the opinion says: ‘,"Cmunly @ court of equity will not | by its Injunction prevent a corpora- tion from transferring a control which it is -alleged is in violation of the federal statutes, because the purchase of the control will probably violate the same law.” MXKEB CONFESSION Clay Killed His Wife Becau Boy Repulsed Dec. 13.—Just before here today, Robert L.
