MILLIONS IN BONDS
Involved In an Action Before Judge
Hickman,

NEW YORK. Oct PA motion was ar
gued before Judge Beekman today in behalf
OF Dwight Bralan, Boston banker and a
member of the New York and Boston stock
exchanges to continue an Injunction pre-
vio1siy granted by the same Judge to pre-
vent the use of about Sc, 600 900 of consolidat-
ed mortgage bonds OF the St: Louis & San
Francisco railway company in payment of
the purchase price or the property of the
railroad company which has been sold under
foreclosure sale directed BY the United
PENDANTS are the Mercantile Trust company,
which Is in possession of the mortgaged
property, claiming title under the foreclosure
sale from the St. Louis & San Francisco
ano. David King. individually and as chair
man Of the Atc..-~- Topeka 6 Santa Fe
Reorganization committee.
Roger Foster, for the plaintiff, argued that
the Atchison company, by the fraudulent use
Of its ownership of the stock of the Frisco
company, obtained the bonds in question by
means which. under the New York penal
code. amount to grand larceny. The only
excuse for the acquisition by the Atchison
company of SIS, 000,0O0 of these bonds was a
guarantee made when the guarantor was in
solvent, Of 900 of Frisco bonds Of
which no more than 100000 were ISSUED.
Consequently these bonds were fraudulent.
Mr.. Foster stated that the receiver of stolen
goods was worse than the thief, and that
these bonds should be cancelled. and until
the trial of this case. their use should be
enjoined.
Edward G. Henderson, counsel for the pur-
chasing railroad company and the Frisco re-
organization committee said that he did not
dispute the original invalidity of these bonds,
but claimed that his clients had bought them
from bonafde owners and that the New York
courts had no Jurisdiction. Charles c. DEM
ing, of the trust company, and the receivers
claimed that under the provision of the mort
gage the trustee not responsible. Mr..
Roster In reply, said that the principal holders
OF these bonds when the Atchison reorgani-
cation company acquired them before their
sale by the latter committee to the Frisco re-
organization committee, were Barring Magoun
& Co., Barring Bros, an English syndicate
represented by Barring, Magoun & Co., the
Mercantile Trust company, the Equitable Life
Assurance Co., and the trust company. All
these he said had notice of the invalidity Of
the bonds from the fact that Col. John J..
-McCook and George c. Magoun, one Of whom
was counsel, agent or director of each of
these persons except the Union Trust COM
p&ny were directors in both the Frisco and
Atchison railway companies at the time when
the bonds were fraudulently acquired but
took part in the transaction. Judge Beekman
reserved his decision and directed the parties
to submit briefs and plaintiffs affidavit in
rebuttal next Monday

POLITICAL PARTY RATES.
Western Roads Warned Against
Making Irregular Cuts.

CHICAGO, Oct 27-Some of the
Western roads have, with the consent
of connecting lines, been granting con-
cessions Of various kinds to both the
leading political parties in the cam
paign and the practice has been car
ried so far that the chairman of the
Western Passenger association has
been called upon to issue notice to
the roads that the association some
time back made special rates for all
political gatherings and that these
rates must on no account be disturbed.
The Alton has given notice that it
will meet the action of the lines of the
Central Passenger committee in max
ing special rates for voters going to
their homes on the first two days Of
November to vote. On the first day
of the month a rate of one fare for
the round trip will be made, between
all points which are less than 200 miles
apart, and between points which are
more than 200 miles apart this rate will
be made only on Nov. 2.

DECREASE IN EARNINGS.
Milwaukee's Cut Rates Show a Con-
siderable Effect.

The September report of the Chicago, Mil
waukee & st. Paul road shows decrease
in both the net and gross earnings, while
the operating expenses increased materially
The reason given for the great decrease is
said to be in the recent rate war which
forced rates down to point which would
soon have brought bankruptcy. The report is
pointed out as a verifcation of the claim
that reduced rates bring reduced dividends,
even though traffic is trebled by the low
tariffs. The Milwaukee's statement for the
month Of September and comparative state
ment for the previous three months are given

time caused panic in the audience.
One of the bulls, becoming more en-
ragged than usual at these rather tame
fights, rushed about the arena goring
everything within its reach. A horse
was disembowcled, picador, Jose
Angulo, in an attempt to place thorn
in the side Of the wild animal, was
caught on one of its long horns. which
pierced him like sword. He was
tossed and fell to the ground bleeding
and mangled. where the beast held
him between his horns and hit and
paved him. He was frightfully in
jured, and died a few minutes later.
There was intense excitement In the
audience and at one time, it. was on
the verge Of panic, but was quoted
by the killing OF the bull.

will restrict this privilege and will make re-
