This was in accordance with the decree of the United States supreme court, which in December /0f 1920 entered an order dissolving the combination of trans- portation and coal holdings “so as to make each component part in fact inde- pendent and competitive. Under the segregation plan the Lehigh Valley Coal company will issue $30,000, 000 non-cumulative preferred stock with- out voting power of $100 par value and 7 per cent. dividend rate, to be turned over to the Lehigh Valley Railroad com- pany as a stock dividend declared out of surplus. Dividends from this stock are to be paid to the -ailroad company. In order to divorce itself from ail con- trol of the coal company, the railroad company will convey all its interests in the common stock to 242,432 “certificates of interest” in the common stock of the coal company on the basis of one certifi- cate for every five shares of common or preferred railroad stock. Stocks of other coal subsidiaries, in- cluding those of the Delaware, Susque- hanna and Schyulkill railroad and Coxe Brothers & Co., Inc., will be held as at present umil maturity in 1926, when they are to be sold or otherwise disposed of for the benefit of the Lehigh Valley rail- road. The plan differs from that of other coal owning railroads in that it calls for no assessment from stockholders and in- volves no sacrifice of their equity in the coal properties. Opposition to the propesed plan was announced by the government soon af- ter its publication on three separate grounds: (1) That it does not contemplate the disposition o fthe stock of the coal com- pany to persons not connected with or interested in the railroad company. (2) That the plan to place the rail- road company's equity in its subsidiary (Coxe Brothers & Co., Inc.) “is merely a proposal to extend for a period of more than four years the time in which de- fendants shall comply with the court’s mandate.” (3) The same objection is made in reference to the proposal to trustee the Lehigh Valley Railroad company's equis ty in the Delaware, Susquehanna and Schuylkill railgoad. A statement issued by President E. Loomis said the plan leaves the \'alley Coal Sales company in posi negotlate a new contract with the mining d t e 1. e s o < 13 b2l chigh t companies.

Justice sMcAvoy declared thete was no proof or inference of gain to any of the defendants save Judson, and that ‘arcery could not be charged under ‘the condiiions of the sale. ‘The activities of Wend satd Jus- tice McAvoy, “were such as to wholly m from any sunpostable charge o comduct indicative of criminallty.” Justice McAvoy added that the con- duct of Travis amounted In law to whether misfeasance or malversation ha dbeen committed and that such charges were mot criminal, but punish- abla by removal from 'office, which it was not now proper to determine.

P)— Amer invitation to Holland to par- ticipate in the forthcoming conference on Far Fastern questions in Washing-| ton today was handed to the Dutch forefgn minister by William Philllps, American minister to the Netherlands. The fact that HollaRd has been i vited to take mart only in the discus- sion of Far Eastern and Pacific brob lems, and is excluded from the confer | ence on the limitation of armaments has created ~disappointment in government circles.
