LEAVE TO AMEND.
Another Step in the Gas War Now
Being Wased in Boston.

Boston, May 1S.-A hearing on the
demurrer of Henry H. Rogers of New
York, in the suit brought by Receiver
Geo. Pepper for the Bay State Gas Co.
of Delaware, was held, TODAY. before
Judge Putnam in the United States
|circuit court. Receiver Peppers action.
which is an outgrowth of his suit to
restrain the sale of the Boston Gas
Cos. in which decision adverse to
him was announced, yesterday. is for
an accounting for the injury which has
ACQUIRED to the Bay State Co. on ac-
count of alleged negligence, non-feas-
ance and misfeasance of Mr.. Rogers as
trustee. The attorneys present were
those who argued in the gas suit prop
err. Sherman l.. Whipple for Mr.. Pep
per and Messrs.Alfred Hemenway and
Walter l. Badger of Boston, and Jas.
M. Beck of New York, for Mr.. Rogers
Lawyer Hemenway stated that the
defendant demurred principally on the
ground that the plaintiff had not stat
ed such case as entitled him to re-
lief, that he has been guilty of negli-
gence in commencing the suit and that
the bill discloses that two other trus-
teees must of necessity be affected by
the action. and consequently the bill
is defective for want of proper parties.
At the close of Mr.. Hemenway's argu-
ment, Judge Putnam stated that he could
not see how a bill could be brought
against Mr.. Rogers as trustee without
including the other two trustees. He
commended that one of the trustees could
not act without the approval of the 9TH
ers. and if Mr.. Rogers was not faithful
to his trust the other trustees were also
responsible with Mr.. Rogers and should
be parties to the suit. Judge Putnam
agreed as to the law on this point with
the result that Judge Putnam reserves
his opinion in the matter.
Judge Putnam stated that Mr.. Whipple
would have to amend his bill in several
respects before it could be adopted He
added that it was in his decision shown
the necessary advantages. Attorney
Whipple consented to amend that the ac-
ton would he brought by the Bay State
Gas Co. of Delaware, rather than by the
receiver.
Judge Putnam then ordered that Attor-
ney .Whipple amend, by next Saturday,
his bill making the plaintiff the Bay
State Gas Co. of Delaware. He also
gave Mr.. Whipple the option to change
his bill so that all the trustees under
the agreement instead of Mr.. Rogers
alone should he parties in the case, but
this latter amendment he left open to
special demurrer The case was set down
for June 2 for a hearing on it's merits.
