Wants to Have e g
Questions as to Con.
version Of Stock Into
Bonds Settled.
HINTS OF SENSATIONS.
In Statement Says He Pur-
poses to Expose Gang Who
Institute Suits Merely for
Obstructive Purposes.

Maurice Berger this afternoon
gave out a statement in behalf Of
the plaintiffs in the Berger suit tc
restrain the United States Steel cor
poration from converting its pre-.
ferred stock into bonds.
The statement in part Is as fol.
lows:
W have written Robert H. McCar
ter, our New Jersey attorney, that h,
must sever his connection with the las
litigation against the Steel Corporation
or permit us to substitute in our suit
another attorney In his place. We hav,
been pleased with Mr.. McCarter's man
agement OF our case and do not doubI
his good faith, but We are not willing
that the public should have any reason
to associate us with more recent com
plainants.
THE fact is, we do not approve of the
purposes which the last litigation dis.
closes This new suit undertakes to pre-
vent the issue of $50, 900, 900 bonds.
w think these bonds should be issued
because the money is to be used for the
needs Of the business. This new suit
objects to the contract between the
company and ]. p. Morgan & Co. We
think IL the bonds are Issued this con-
tract will be necessary to protect so
large an issue.
Mr.. Berger disclaims intention TO OBJ
struct the operations Of the Steel Cor
poration. He says:
II am the officer Of a corporation
which has been held up for two years
by tho w~ell-known clique of Wall street
conspirators. Already the papers are
being prepared under my direction
which will expose this gang of conspir-
at'ors in a way to set New York a-smil-
Ing"
The statement asserts that II Z per
cent. stock Ia to be converted into 5 per
cent. bonds the plaintiffs desire that
there shall be at least no cloud on the
bonds, The suit Is intended to settle all
legal questions connected with the
transaction. and In no way impugns the
sincerity of the steel management.

An Important Matter.

The all absorbing topic of CONVEX
sation and the one thing which has
occupied the minds of many at Noun
tain Lake Park during the past month
is that of water and water works.
Under the present system of sup
plying water for the needs of the citi-
zens of that summer place it has been
demonstrated many times that there
is something radically wrong and to
correct this was the main thing under
discussion at the meeting of the Board
of Directors held Tuesday at which
time Mr.. Yoder, owner of the water
works system, was present. He is
firm in the belief that the present
mode OF securing water is the most
feasible-that of bringing it in by
grayity-and entered into an agree
ment whereby he will execute bond
in the sum of $4,000 which will be
forfeited if the supply of water fails
after August LIST, 1902, unless such
failure is the result of some unforeseen
or unavoidable accident.
The Board of Directors were au-
thorized 10 put in a plant not to ex-
coed the cost of $4,000 should the
water company fail to comply with
the stipulations of the contract above
cited. AS we go to press we learn
that the people living on the high
grounds have no water.
