ALLEGATION OF FRAUD
Made i'm Connection with Action
Against American Can Company.

PHILADELPHIA. Sept. ga bill was
filed to-day before Vice Chancellor Grey of
Camden by F. Schoenfield, a stakeholder of
the American Can Company, praying for
an injunction to restrain the payment of
the 21s per cent. dividends by the board of
directors on the company's preferred stock.
The matter will come before the vice chan
celor on Monday, Sept. %.
The bill, among other things, charges
fraud in the organization of the company
and overcapitalization, that the tangible as
sets are not worth more than $4,000 600
whereas the company is capitalized at $751;
100000; that while the company acquired
12S plants 1t has been operating only thirty
and according to its last showing only
earned per cent. on the total amount of
its value of 81, 100000. 1t Is alleged that
the payment of the dividend would be an
impairment of its capital.
The bill also prays that the stock which
is alleged to have been fraudulently issued
and which, it is said, went as bonus. profit
or award to the promoters, be annulled if
still in their hands. otherwise that they be
required to account for the money. The
president of the company is f. A. Asmann,
of New York.

Leishman to-day. The American minister
has had several conferences with Tewfik
Pasha, the Turkish foreign minister. con-
corning the settlement of the Magelssen
affair and the American claims against the
Sultan'S government. While definite con-

has occurred In the negotiations. On the
ground that all is now quiet at Beirut II is
not unlikely that the Porte is pressing for
the withdrawal of the American ships, but
