MIR. WILLIAMS INTERVIEWED
Every step Taken Under Advice of
Able Counsel.

BALTIMORE, MD. December A.-(Spe-
oial)-Mr. John SHELTON Williams, presi-
dent Of the Seaboard Airline system. in
referring TO the fact that the United
States Court at Richmond had rejected
the application Of Mr. Thomas T.. Ryan
FOR an injunction to restrain the carry
Ing out Of the consolidation plans Of the
syndicate and that following this the
United States Court at Raleigh took the
same action. stated that ne believed that
this made the seventeenth defeat Mr..
Ryan had received since he began the
fight upon the SeabOard three years ago.
Every step" added Mr. Williams.
(which has been taken I'm carrying
through this consolidation has been under
the advice Of the ablest counsel. and the
various actions which have been taken
have not only been ratified by the boards
Of directors, but also by the stockholders
of the several companies in general meet
ings. There Is no single step which has
been taken TO which the slightest OBJ
lection can be legitimatcly made

Hams. "a statement Of earnings Of the
Seaboard Airline for the month of no
vember, which shows an increase at the
rate of about a $1,000 a day over last
year which was the biggest year in its
history"
Mr. Williams was asked what he had
20 say i'm regard % the recent statements
in New York papers that the capitalize
ton Of the Seaboard system was excess
sive.
SEABOARD CAPITALIZATION
"rhe total capitalization of the Greater
Seaboard system" said Mr.. Williams
under the proposed plan of cOnsolida-
ton. Will be less than one-half OF the
capitalization per mile OF the Southern
railway. Tne total bonded debt of the
Greater SeabOard System will be about
$1,000 a mile OF road owned, against a
debt ON the Southern railway of about
$4,000 % mile of road owned. The pre-
lerred stock OF the new system will be
about $4,000 a mile against $1,000 a mile
of road owned on the Southern railway.
while our common stock Will be about
| 5000 a mile. against 1000 on the South
en railway for each mile OF road owned.
"In other words. the total capitaliza-
lion Of the Seaboard will be about $4,000
ID mile. including bonds and stocks,
against a total capitalization ON the
Southern railway OF $1,000 a mile Of road
owned These figures speak for them
selves"

question Involving Power OF WIFE to
Govern Private Estate.
Judge Cox, in Equity Court No. !. today,
rendered decision in favor Of the COM
plainant, by granting an injunction pen
dente lfts in the case Of James A. Brown
against Melita c. Spelshouse and others.
The cause was argued at length last week
by Attorneys Tallmadge A. and Wilton J..
Lambert on behalf of the complainant, and
Attorneys Leon Tobriner and Conway Rob-
inson for thu defendants. The case in
volved the question of the power of hus-
band, as agent, to bind his wife's separate
estate.
1t was contended by the complainant,
that, having in 1895 purchased house 5lS 7
street from Mr.. Spelshouse, as agent for his
Wlfe, he executed note and deed OF trust
upon the same for $1,000 to secure part of
the purchase money; that before the note
became due Mr.. Spelshouse called four
times requesting money upon the note for
