BANKRUPT ROA SUES TO RETAN biG MOKOPOL Court Hears How New Or- leans Terminal Facilities Were “Bottled Up.” The St. Louls and San Francisco Raltroad began sult in the Supreme} Court to-day to compel the! Southern Railway Company to restore a halt interest in the $20,001,000 New Orleans! Germinal Company, organized secretly by the two companies in 193 to control the terminal facilities of the Southern ality. Francis Lynde Stetson, who argued before Justice Gavegan against the euit, termed the action a case of “welching.” As Attorney A. B. Pollak, represent- ing the petitioner, argued the motion, the Court’s eyes were opened to an extraordinary alliance by which the two | railroads successfully gobbled up “all the transit properties of New Orleans | and held them under a trist agree-| ment, the stock being deposited in the| Guarantee Trust Company of New York. | Jugticn Gavegan heard of a $20,000,000! cofigern, which never sold a share of its atock, and never attempted to market | a ahare and whose invaluable assets are not essignable, marketable or sal- able. , ‘Mr. Pollak declared that the receivers of the 8t. Louls and San Franoleco Rafiroad fear the confiscation of their helf interest in the terminal company and demand that the Southern Railway credit the securities against the debt of the terminal company, or that the bankrupt St. Louis pany have @ chance to redeem its securities. Justice Gavegan reserved decision. In 193, Mr. Pollak explained, the two mmpanies, then rivals for business in} the Southwest, agreed to pool their in- teresta in the traMe property of New Orleans and organized the New Orleans ‘Terminal Company. ‘The $20,000,000 Terminal Company was capitalized at $2,009,000 only for purpos of organization and each company to title to one-half of the stock. Each de- posited the stock and each agreed to pay one-half the rental charge on all! the terminal properties, the rental to be exactly the amount of the interest upon the bonds, Each guaranteed the inter- est, and since each was to bear half of thé burden of the bonds, each red | t ther by agreeing to pledge the! other's stock as agguarantee for the falthful performance of the agreement. For ten years the two companies worked in harmony under this monop- oly. Then a receiver was named for the St. Louis company. The St, Louls company could not meet the $140,000 interest on the bonds, and under the trust agreement its half interest in the terminal company was declared forfeited to the Southern Railway on declared the Southern the other company's secu- because there is no market for no market has even been Gavegan promised an early decision under Mr. : .otson's plea that another $140,000 payment was due to thé trustee by Jan. 1, 1914, , \GENTRE STREET LOOP FAILS TO MAKE PROFIT Deficit for Period It Has Been in Operation Amounts to $144,239, The New York Consolidated Railroad Comgany, which ts the Brooklyn Rapid Tranait operating company under the new eubway contracts, haa filed a re- port with the Public Service Commission | showing the results of operations under Contract No. 4, the main operating con- treet for the New York Municipal Ratl- way Corporation's part of the dual sys- tem, It ehowe that the gross receipts for the month of October fell $4,406.08 be- low the amount needed to pay rentals, | mother, tried to break him of the habit COCAINE HABIT LEADS HIM TO PENITENTIARY.
