AGAINST READING.
Governor Albeit Will Invoke the
Aid OF the Law
TO PREVENT THE RAILRoADlDEAL

ATTORNEY General Stockton to Ap-
peal to the Court of Chancery to
Invalidate the Lease of the New
Jeasey Central to the Port Read.
ing Railroad Company.
TRENTON. N. j., May Ex-Governor
Albeit is determined to prevent the
consummation Of the Reading deal. He
will not call an extra session of the leg
islature, as was his first intention, be-
cause prohibitory legislature is not
necessary There is law sufficient to
break the combine, he says, and it will
be invoked at once. Attorney General
Stockton has been directed to appeal to
the court of chancery to have declared
invalid the lease of the New Jersey Cen
tral to the Port Reading Railroad COM
pany.
If the cburt grants such decree the
combine will be broken, as control Of
the New Jersey Central is necessary to
the success of President McLeod's big
scheme. The Port Reading is owned
by magnates of the Philadelphia and
Reading, and the Lackawanna and the
Jersey Central was leased to it few
years ago, and it now turns out for the
especial purpose of this deal. The New
Jersey Central could not be leased di-
rectly to the Philadelphia and Reading
because the leasing of home corpora
tions to foreign corporations is not per-
mitted by the laws Of New Jersey.
The attorney general, to sever the tie
between the New Jersey Central and
the Port Reading, will allege that the
latter is Il corporation on paper only,
and has 10 existence in fact, but only in
name. In support of the allegation he
will show that Port Reading has never
made any return to the state board Of
assessors for the purpose of taation.
The law requires all railroad companies
to return valuations annually. The fail
ure of the Port Reading to comply with
the law, according to the authorities
here, proves its insignifcance, and its
insignitidance as corporation will be
relied upon for proof to show that the
leasing tp it of the New Jersey Central
is fraud on the law forbidding leasing
to foreign corporations of nonresident
owners.
Attorney General Stockton is getting
the papers ready, and a bitter fight will
undoubtedly ensue. The Port Reading
will go into the fight backed by the
owners of all the roads in the combine.
