solidation.
NEW YORK, Oct 9.-The Wall Street
Journal says: s'It is thought in we'll
informed circles here that the Northern
Pacific receivers will have to go to the
Pacific coast to appear before Judge
Hanford, or subject themselves to pos
sible arrest for contempt. The situation
in this respect is getting to be serious
in the eyes of some lawyers, because it
might be followed by other moves Of
an expensive character to Northern Pa
cific security holders. The Great
Northern people claim that they are in
a better position than ever to secure
control of the property, but against this
is the statement of the leading parties in
interest that there is to be complete
change in the personnel of the manage
ment of the property both as to legal
advisers and to service managers. The
new interests in the property will be
found working in the line of maintain
ing the property independent of the
Great Northern, and also in the line of
developing its business to greater ex-
tent than ever before, so as to make re-
organization more easy, because of the
confidence which the consolidated bond
holders will have in dealing with the
prior liens"
The new interests in the foregoing
article allude to the Brayton Ives party.
