Gates of Indebtedness came up for assign
ment in the city court yesterday, and the
result Of the hearing, after a slight con-
troversy between the attorneys, was that
May II was set as the date for the hear
ing of the preliminary motions in the case.
Mr.. I. NJ. Cunningham, Jr., represent
ing the Central, stated that he had filed
an appearance plea, and that a plea of

swer that would be filed by the Central.

Harden, West & McLaws for Mr.. J. S.
Iilney of Orange. n. j.. stated that they
had asked the attorneys for the Genital to
file motion to dismiss the entire pro-
ceedings, and the request was refused
The attorneys for the Central fled an ap-
pearance plea, however, so as to permit
the attorneys defending the suit for other
stockholders to file such motion if they
so desired. Col. Garrard, for there
organization committee and Hon. Pope
Barrow, for other debenture holders, OBJ
1ected to the suits being defended by
Charlton & Mackall and Harden, West
q McLaws on the ground that the COM
pany had decided TO defend them, and
that under these circumstances, attor-
neys for outside parties had no right to
defend them in the name of the company
The attorneys, however, claimed the
right to defend the suits under the reso-
luton passed by the board of directors
permitting other stockholders to enter
defense in the name of the company. This
question will also be decided on May ~
when the preliminary motions are heard.

An Article on Table Waters.

The New York Medical Journal recently
published an interesting item on mineral
waters. 1t seems that the lay public is
likely to confound table waters with
medicinal waters, containing active chem
ical substances which cannot safely be In
cluded as part of the ordinary daily diet.
The article SAYS that greater attention is
being directed to dietetic waters, more
generally called table waters, which, if
pure, are of great value as hygienic
agents, and it recommends waters like
Apollinaris, which is regarded as the
leading dietetic table water-ad.
