IN ALL BUT TWO POINTS
JUDGE WOODS sUsTAINs SPECIAL
MASTER FIsHBACk.
Ruling I'm Louisville, Evansville &
Company-News of the Courts.

Judge Woods, of the United States Cir
cult Court, yesterday sent down from
Chicago an opinion in the case of the New
York Security and Trust Company against
the Louisville Evansville & st. Louis Con-
solidated Railroad Company sustaining the
report of Special Master Fishback in all
but two important points.
This was a proceeding to foreclose a
mortgage or the Consolidated Company S
road. known as the Airline, and the con-
troversy decided yesterday was between
the holders of bonds issued by that COM
pany and the owners of the other bonds
issued by some of the companies which
have united to form the consolidated COM
pany. The road owned by the consolidated
company extends from New Albany to East
ST. Louis, with branches TO Huntingburg
and Evansville. The road has been in the
hands OF receivers for several years and
there is no dispute as to the validity of the
different mortgages which are sought to
be foreclosed. The controversy is over the
questions whether the debts created by the
receivers in paying for rolling stock,
rentals, improvements, interest and delin-
quent taxes shall be charged primarily on
ZIG ihIcASSl III tiAe pIOpSTly COVERED Dy the
consolidated mortgage, and those under the
mortgages on parts of the railroad that
formed independent lines before the con-
solidation, and whether bonds secured by
mortgage on the Eastern division, which
were afterwards exchanged for consolidated
bonds, were thereby cancelled or remain
alive for the benefit of the holders o. the
consolidated bonds. The most important
point decided is that regarding the validity
of the second mortgage bonds OF the east
ern division Of the road. The decision of
Judge Woods is to the effect that 81, 1916, 900
or second mortgage bonds on this division
are invalid for the reason that they were
exchanged for consolidated mortgage
bonds. The $4,000 of the second mortgage
bonds of this branch of the road that were
not exchanged for consols are still alive
Another important point in which Judge
Woods disagrees with the master is in re-
gard TO the property acquired after the con-
solidation. The court holds that improve
ments and betterments acquired by the con-
solidated company are the property of the
them to the seven branches and divisions
the apportionment must be according to
mileage and not in proportion to the
amount of equipment the several branches
had at the time of the consolidation
The effect of the decision will be to make
the 100000 of exchanged bonds worth par.
as 1T is said the money for their payment
mas already been deposited
