IN FAVOR OF THE EAST TENNESSEE.
The minority stockholders OF the East
Tennessee's extension bonds were
knocked out In their suit at Nashville
Monday The decision rendered by Judge
J.urton was one OF the most important
that has been rendered in southern rail-
way circles in "A long while.
Four years ago the East Tennessee
hon lori Of of
the Alabama Great Southern railroad.
Following this action the road purchased
one thousand shares of stock I'm the
Cincinnati Southern road. Both of these
purchases were made of an English syn
dicate. and the East Tennessee road
was actuated by Il desire TO get a con-
trolling interest In the stock Of the road.
The East Tennessee issued bonds.
known as the Cincinnati extension bonds,
20 pay for these two big blocks of stock.
and the property of the road and that
of the Richmond and Danville, as surety
were pledged TO secure the bonds. To
do THIS a trust deed was executed by
the Central Trust Company of New York
The earnings of the road soon de-
creased TO that extent that the road
was unable To meet the interest on the
bonds. and a receiyerShip was the result.
The receiver was authorized TO borrow
money TO pay the interest, but IL seems
thaS he failed 10 do so, inasmuch as
$4,000 of the interest remains unpaid.
FAIRY inns year majority OF tneSe
outstanding bonds were purchased by
representatives of the Cincinnati, Ham
ilton and Dayton road. They were de-
posted with the Central Trust Company.
in July they were demanded, the purpose
being TO remove the directors represent
Ing the minority interests and substitute
directors In touch with the Cincinnati,
Hamilton and Dayton. The trust COM
came up with the request that they sell
the bonds under the deed made by the
East Tennessee TO the trust company,
According to this request. the bonds
were advertised for sale on August nd
and the papers nave been full of talk
concerning the coming sale The ma
5orlty holders made strenuous objection
and called a meeting for tomorrow for
the purpose OF bouncing the minority
directors.
The bill upon which Judge Lurtou PASS
ed Monday was flied last Saturday NV 81
minority holder OF the East Tennessee
extension bonds. and asks for the fore
closure Of the trust deed now in the
hands OF the Central Trust Company
ana requiring the trust company TO he
present at to-morrow's meeting and have
u adjourned for sixty days. so that the
minority interests may be looked after
ia effect, the object Of the hill was to
restrain the majority holders from max
Ing changes In the directory. judge
Lurton declined TO entertain the motion.
ana decided that the minority had made
no case.
