RAILROAD PRESIDENT ACCUSED.
Receiver Asked for the Pontiac, Oxford and
Northern.

Pontiac Mich. Aug. IA bill Of complaint was
filed in the Oakland County Circuit Court here to-
day by attorneys representing Charles H. Stone
Elijah w Sells and William H Barbour. all Of
New-York City. asking that receiver be appoint
ed for the Pontiac, Oxford and Northern Railroad.
which is one hundred miles long. running from
Pontiac north Saginaw Bay. The court is also
asked to make an order that the road be sold and
the proceeds divided among the stockholders. Mr.
stone owns 1000 shares of stock in the road. The
bill of complaint makes some sensational charges
against President Hugh Porter. Of New-York. 1t
IS alleged that his salary OF $12 900 year is entirely
out of proportion to the duties he performs, and
that other officers of the road also draw salaries
larger than they should. According TO the bill Of
complaint this large salary list eats up much of the
earnings which should go to the stockholders. 1t
is alleged that the board of directors was recently
reduced from seven six. in the interest of Presi-
dent Porter and that Messrs. Sells and Barbour
who represent Mr.. Stone on the board, are not al
lowed to have any voice in the management OF the
road. -,
The most sensational allegation in the bill is that
President Porter has manipulated the finances or
the road until he holds 100000, which should be
turned into the treasury. The bill alleges that AT
one time this amount $505,O10. An atldaVlt by
Elijah w Sells is made part of the bill. In 1t he
declares. practical railroad man, That the nne
is in bad shape and that the rolling stock Is badly
run down, and cannot be used much longer without
repairs He also says that he was not allowed 10
examine the books in the general office of the COM
pany.
Judge Smith granted a temporary Injunction for
bidding the removal Of the cOmpanyS BOOKS, papers
or cash from jurisdiction of the court, and also
restraining the present management from paying
President Porter his salary OF S2,OD The gen
eral offices of the road are at Pontiac.

WILL NOT DISCUSS IT.
Attitude of President McDougaI of the Cot
ton Exchange Toward New Orleans Body

President McDougan of the New-York Cotton
Exchange yesterday refused to discuss in any
way the resolutions passed on Friday by the
New-Orleans Cotton Exchange in regard % the
quota tons service.
A week or so ago it reported that the
New-York Exchange would cut off the New
Orleans service of quotations if the latter would
not agree not to furnish news to bucket shops
On Friday the New-Orleans Exchange adopted
resolutions in which it stated that New
Orleans had been unfairly treated, in that the
New York Exchange had declined to treat with
the New-Orleans Exchange directly, and the
New-Orleans Exchange refused to sign the
agreement prepared by the NewYork E,X-
change.

Nezc-Orleans Exchange Receives the
Nezc- York Prices.

my TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUNE
New-Orleans, Aug. 1.-The New-Orleahs COT
ton Exchange received its quotations from the
New-York Exchange this morning as usual IN
spite of the decision Of the New-forK EXCHANGE
not to furnish its quotations to the local eX-
change. beginning with to-day unless it should
sign an ironclad anti-bucket shop agreement.
It was the general supposition that the New
Orleans Exchange was receiving its quotations
under cover of the injunction got out yesterday
bv Baxter & Co.. which not only restrained the
telegraph companies from cutting off BaXter's
market information but also enjoined the tele-
graph companies from disseminating informa-
ton which has hitherto been furnished the
general public or to any corporation or person"
H G. Hester, secretary Of the Cotton Elk
change, refused to say just how the quotations
from New-York were being obtained. He said,
however, that they came in legitimate way.

NO EFFECT ON FEDERAL SUIT.
Only Minnesota Law Involved in Judge
Lochren's Decision.

Washington. Aug. when Mr.. Day, assist
ant to the Attorney General. was asked what
effect the decision of Judge Lochren in the suit
of the State of Minnesota against the Northern
Securities Company would have on the case Of
the United States against this company he re-
piled:
It can have no effect whatever. The case of
the United States against the Securities Com
pany was brought under the Sherman Anti
Trust law, charging violation of its proVl-
sions and it was decided by four United States
Circuit judges in a unanimous opinion that the
Northern Securities Company was conspiracy
in restraint of commerce, and therefore unlaw-
full. This case was not brought under the Sher-
man Antitrust law or any other federal
statute. 1t is a suit of the State of Minnesota
for an alleged violation Of its constitution and
laws and the -ecision of District Judge Lochren
in such a case could in event affect the re-
suit reached by the four circuit judges in the
former case.
The decision in favor of the Northern Securities
COMPANY in the suit of the State Of Minnesota
caused q four point jump in that stock on the curb
but the general market was Indifferent

NOT IN RESTRAINT OF TRADE.

The action Of the defendant, Hill. in promot-
ing the formation Of the Northern Securities
Company, under the circumstances and for the
purposes which the evidence discloses, and in
stock in the two railroad companies. involved
no act or contract in restraint Of trade COM
lnerce or affecting transportation or rates more
than any ordinary transfer OF railroad stock

That my judgment, after most careful consid-
Grafton of the facts and the law applicable
thereto, as construed by the highest court, leads

have violated the Minnesota antitrust act,

Rubber from Grea.ewood.

The ingenuity of Yankee in
ventor has devised use for that
humble and unlovely shrub of the
western deserts known as the
"greasewood." 1t has been found to
contain a gum that affords C. valu-
able substitute for rubber. The
method of obtaining the gum, which
has been newly patented, consists in
bruising the woody stalks of the
greasewood, soaking them in a soln-
ton of carbon disulphide, and then
drawing off the liquid, which is dis
titled. The chemical used as a
solvent is driven off by heat, and
there remains in the bottom of the
vessel a gummy stuff, flexible and
elastic. Finally, the gummy stuff ia
washed and purified, the result be-
ing a very fair substitute for india
Vubber-so good, in fact, as to sug-
gest the notion that some day the
american deserts may be made to
} leld very satisfactory profits in the
production of raw material for gum

PASTOR FIBS TO SAVE PANIC
GunsauIus Cuts HIS Sermon Short
when Theater Fills with
Smoke.

CHICAGO, Jan. 1s,-"You will please par
don me for stopping in the middle Of my
sermon, but ! I'm suffering from an old
injury to my hip today and find II i'm
possible to continue. Kindly pass out at
the conclusion Of the benediction and pro-
coed to your homes without the usual clos
ing services"
In this way Rev. Frank Gunsaulus dis
missed the congregation of the Peoples
church at the Studebaker theater. His
auditors. who had listened to the first part
Of the sermon, were surprised at its sud
den termination and passed out Of the
building quietly, not knowing that the
pastor had dismissed them suddenly to
avoid a panic. The theater was rapidly
filling with smoke when DR.. Gaunsaulus
brought the services to a sudden close.
The trouble was found later 10 be with a
broken furnace, but It was said there was
no danger from FIRE.
