The Central Litigation.


It is far from clear yet what the out
come of the Central railroad litigation is
to be, although the order made by Mr.
Justice Jackson yesterday justifes a
| hope that the end is not far off.
| The junior security holders are
| hoping to get something out of their Sc
/ curities, and they may if Mr.. Justice
/ Jackson, by a clear-cut decision, clears
| away the mass of issues by which the
main issue has been obscured.
The inference from some of the Justices
remarks delivered from the bench yester-
day is that he does not see that either the
| Richmond Terminal or Alexander Brown
| &, Sons are particularly DESTROYS of saving
the Central railroad property from fur
/ ther depreciation, or are especially anx-
ious to protect any of the junior securi-
ties except those they own. He does not
appear to have found in anything they
have said justification for their being
in court at all. They have
offered no plan for rehabilitating the
property and there is no evidence that
they have any. Their chief aim seems to
be to defeat the Hollins reorganization
plan.
Their attacks upon Mr.. Conner are par
ticularly bitter; and yet they have fur
nished nothing substantial as basis for
their attacks. They want to get rid of
Mr. Conner, not, perhaps, because they be-
lieve he would be succeeded by some one
who would manage the property more ad-
vantageously, but because Mr.. Conner
favors the Hollins plan, and is, therefore,
an obstacle in their way.
And why does Mr.. Conner favor the
Hollins plan? Simply because he thinks
it is the best for the great majority of the
security holders, and because it promises
a speedy reorganization of the property.
As receiver he is not bound to interest
himself actively in any reorganization
scheme, but he has favored the Rollins
plan because of his earnest desire that
the junior security holders shall realize
as much as possible for their property
and that the system shall be kept to-
gether 1t is to the interest of the secu-
rity holders, to Savannah and to Georgia
that it shall be kept together.
Mr. Conner will not be ousted. That is
already apparent. Thecharges that have
They cannot be The charge that he has
favored the South Bound because he is
interested in it is a sample of the charges
The fact is he has construed the Central's
contract with the South Bound so strongly
in favor of the Central that the South
Bound people think he goes too far in his
efforts to guard the CentraIs interests.
Does the Richmond Terminal offer to
relieve the Central of it's financial diff
culties2 1t does not. What does it offer
to do2 Nothing.
What does Alexander Brown & Sons
offer to do that would be helpful to the
Central2 Absolutely nothing. Under the
circumstances it is difficult to see on wha
ground either the Terminal or Alexander
Brown & Sons expect their requests to be
granted.

Extinct Monsters.

Eugene Field in Chicago News Record.
o, had lived in the good old days
When the IchthYosaurus ramped around
When the Elasmosaur swan the bays
And the Sivatherim paved the ground;
Would j have spent my precious time
At weaving golden thoughts in rhyme7
When the Tfnoceras snooped about
And the Pterodactyl tapped its wings
When the Brontops with the warty snout
MOseyed around for herbs and things;
Would have bothered myself o'ermuch
About divine af1iatus and such.
The Dinotherium f1ourished then
The Pterygotus dashed the seas;
The Rhamphorynchus prospered when
The Scaphognatnus perched in trees;
And every creature, wild or tame,
RejOiced in some rocco name.
Pause and ponder; who could write
A triolet or roundelay,
While a Megatherium yawped all night
And Hesperornis yawped all day;
While, now and again, the bray sonorous
OF Glyptodon Asper swelled the chorusY
II I'd been almost ANYTHING
But poet, l might have got along;
Those extinct monsters OF hoof and wing
Were not conducive TO lyric song:

For the kindlier age of Pork and Lard

Good.natured Indifference.

A certain goOd-natured fatalism prevails in
Russia as to the one crime of theft, says the
Youths Companion. At Saratof on the
Volga a crowded steamer was about to start,
when the assistant captain, hurrying through
a crowd Of third-class passengers, was sud
denly stopped by a peasant, who had previ-
ously complained that his money had been
stolen.
Your honor" he said, 1.-The money has been
found"
Found Where?''
''Sewed up in that soldiers mantle 1 went
over there to search for it, and sure enough.

We'll. he must be handed over to the
police"
Handed over to the police7 Why to the
police? Don't touch him; let him sleep on
Sure. the money is found; what more do we
want?"
And as the captain proved equally indiffer-
ent, the matter was dropped.

There is the prospect of a wide and far
reaching split in the Grand Army of the
Republic. Noah l.. Farnham Post No
45S, of New York, the charter of which
was recently annulled because it de-
nOunced pension frauds, has organized for
temporary purposes under the name Of
Noah L. Farnham Independent Veterans.
No. IL and it is quite likely that other
organizations will follow its example. In
Wisconsin, the home Of Commander in
Chief Weissert, there is widespread dis
satisfaction with the treatment of Farm
ham post, and many of the veterans there
do not hesitate to say they will resign
from the C. a. r.. if the censure is not
removed from their New York comrades.
They say the revocation of the posts
charter was based on a himsy technical
ity, and that, so far from stopping any
body's mouth, it will tend to intensity
the feeling in favor OF pension reform. The
sympathies Of the south are, of course,
with Farnham post. 1t would like to see
the G. a. II. as a political machine
smashed into a thousand pieces There
is no objection to the G.. A. Il. as an organ
ization Of veterans, but of late its high
purpose has been perverted by scheming
politicians.

The Malta.

One morning recently an italian wan
dering along a Brooklyn street was shot
down by some unknown person, and, after
falling, was slashed with razor Later
the police found the weapon with which
the man had been shot TWAS a Sawed
off, horse pistol. 1t had been charged
with slugs. and it was purely an accident
that the assassin's victim was not torn to
pieces. 1t was a true Malta weapon, and
the finding of it left no doubt IN the
minds of the police that a Mafian had
used it.
This incident led newspaper reporter
to investigate the criminal records of
New York for the purpose of ascertain
ing, if possible, whether or not the lesson
of New Orleans had been forgotten by
the thugs from abroad. And what was
discovered seems to indicate that the
Malta in this country is not yet thing of
the past. Between Aug. / of last year
and May of the present year there were
committed by Sicilians and Calabrians in
New York alone fifty-two deadly
assaults with knives, guns, or pistols, a
number of which proved fatal Most of
the assaults were upon people of their
own country, and in the majority of
cases the offenders were never brought to
Justice. Witnesses could not be induced
to testify; they were in terror of their
lives.
The majority of Italians in this country
are law-abiding and industrious, and
have no sympathy with the cut-throat
element The fact that the cut-throats
are also Italians has brought undiscovered
obloquy upon the better element. The poo
pie generally have not been able TO separate
the classes as they deserve to be. It is
gratifying to know, however, that under
the operations of the new immigrant
law it will be much harder than hereto
fore for the criminal class from Sicily to
gain admittance to this country. Only a
few days ago nine persons of that class
were detained at Ellis Island under the
new law, and subsequently returned to
! their own country

A novel corporation, one that expects to
raise millions with air, has been chartered
IN New York. The corporations business
will be the raising of sunken vessels
Large rubber bags will be placed in the
hold OF sunken vessel by divers. The
bags will be connected by hose with air
pumps on floats and air will be pumped
into them. As the bags expand it is ex-
pected that they will expel the water
from the hold and give the vessel suf-
ticient buoyancy to rise to the surface.
An experiment will be made on the steam
ship Oregon, which is sunk off Fire Island.
