ONE GENT.
BAY STATE GAS
THE WEIR SUIT MAY BE UPHELD
AND AN ACCOUNTING ORDHREn

ItiE WEIR SUIT MAY BE UpgIErjD
AND AN ACCOUNTING ORDERED.
Some OF the attorneys who took mart
In the arguments in the Bay State Gas
Company's cases before Judge
Dallas in Philadelphia yes
terday believe that the court will favor
an accounting by the company in the
Weir suit.
They are also OF the opinion that a
consolidation bill will be ordered. ana
the result will be that the special allie
cations IN the Godfrey-Aforse bill will
be Incorporated In the Weir bill.
Mr., Tower, Who is representing thu
eomplainants in The Morse euit. has al
ready filed an Intervention suit for the
largest interest which he resrcsents--
the Curley interest OF 1000 shares.-to
the Weir suit. But two suits were
argued, and the cases were put down
for continuance to-day.
The line OF defence set up In the Cod
frey Morse suit was In the main tech
nicah the contention being that the
bill should have been drawn to include
Mr.. Addlcks and the directors as de-
PENDANTS. and TO make some OF the hold
ems OF the alleged improperly issued
stock parties to the suit. That the cor
poration alone was made the defend
ant Is said to have been recognized by
legal taltnt on the side for the petit
tioners, but the bill was understood 10
have been drawn that way for a pur-
pose.
1t is ADMITTED It may quite likely be
knocked out on account OF the manner
OF drawing It, and certain remarks
made by the court gave the impression
THAT It believed that the individuals in
the management should be Joined to
the suit.
If this he ordered an attorney ex-
pressed the opinion that the end sought
for by the bill, viz. the winding up OF
the corporation. would be very difficult
to attain. The argument made In the
court room was that the directors
might not have property easily got at
for recovery OF the complainants.
The Morse bill In It's allegations Of
mismanagement by Mr.. Addicl5s. al
leges that by successive operations OF
his, without right OF proper oonsldera'-
tion to the company, the principal
original asset OF the company-namely
a S4.5OO,OOO obligation OF the Bay State
Company, of Massachusetts,, through
which the Delaware company received
30 per cent. OF the Massachusetts COM
pany's net earnings, amounting to
about s45O.OOO per annum'-was finally
conveyed into si,sOOiOOO United Gas 5
per cent. bonds, the income OF which
to the Delaware company was but $685.
600 per year. Il was further alleged
that the control Of the Boston COM
panles had been released ~ the New
England Gas and Coke Company.

PARIS EXPOSITION.
The Question Of an Appropriation
for an American Display.

WASHINGTON, May 25.-While the
provision in the sundry civil appropria-
tion bill for the proper representation
of this country at the Paris Exposition,
which was inserted by the Senate, has
not yet been taken up in a formal way
by the Conference Committee, which
is considering the bill, the subject has
more or less attention from the mem
bers Of the committee as individuals.
The members realize that they are
acting largely in a diplomatic capacity
in dealing with this subject, and ac-
cordingly are impressed with the ne
cessity of proceeding with caution.
Their attention has been called to both
sides of the question, and the fact has
developed that there is an element in
this country quite opposed to making
any appropriation at all because of the
alleged partiality Of France towards
Spain in the present war. The fact
has also developed that at least one
member of the committee is personally
of the opinion that no appropriation
should be made under the circum-
stances. Indications are, however, quite
strong that their view will not pre-
vail, unless some open act of hostility
SIlOulQ DC COulIfllltGQ Dy the L ACAANA4
people, so long as the French Govern
ment continues to declare its good will
The prevailing opinion among the
committeeman seems to be that the
wise and proper policy is to proceed
in the matter just as would be done If
there were no war Some of the Rep
resentatives of the House in conference
are of the opinion that the Senate pro-
vision looking to the ultimate expendi-
ture of about $750,000 on the exposition
is too liberal, and that it would be at
any time more than this country would
be justified in expending on foreign
exhibition. They are advocating re-
duction, placing the limit at $500,00O,
and there is a probability that this
change may be made.
All that can be said definitely now is
that the committee as a whole is ia
vorably disposed to make an exhibition
of American products at Paris that
will do credit TO our country and be
an earnest of our good will toward
France.
