SUED HENRY WILLARD.



the Northern Pacific.
A Philadelphia stakeholder Of the North
ern Pacific railway has employed attorneys
to bring suit against Henry Willard. Edwin
H. Abbott, Charles L. Colby and Colgate
Hoyt on the general charge of malfsasance
In ONCE and mismanagement of the affairs
or the company in their capacity Of direc-
tors thereof. 1t Is alleged that they bought
Tor the Northern Pacific properties in which
they were personally interested. In this
manner they profited largely as individuals,
whereas the road lost heavily. Ten millions
or dollars Is the sum named as the amount
OF the profits of these four directors.
Ex-U. s. District Attorney John II. Read
OF the firm Of Read & Petit of Philadelphia
mas addressed a formal communication to
tne directors of the Northern Pacific COM
pdHy, requesting permission to bring suit in
the name OF the company against the al
Legeu mismanaging directors. Mr. Read in
forms the directors that the suit will not
cost them a cent, as their client is willing
to bear all expenses.
rms step Is taken because of the laws re-
quirement that aggrieved stockholders must
nrst seek to have their representatives in
control OF property apply for remedy. 1t
Is expected that the directors will decline to
bring the suit, and in this event proceedings
Will Immediately be commenced by the in
dividual who Is employing the attorneys. 1t
is said that Brayton Ives, Henry Clews and
Jay Cooke, jr., the committee who invcsti-
gated the affairs of the road last year, are
back Of the suit

Nearly 5000 men are employed in the
works, and almost all Of them are affected
by the reduction

When the mothers milk Is insufficient in quality
and quantity for baby's healthy growth, any one
who stops TO think must know that the infant food
which most closely resembles mothers milk must
