RUMORS ABOUT THE JANE NOSE
LEY.

A number of disgruntled stockhold-
ers of the Freedmans Land and Trans
portation Company are giving express
sions of dissatisfaction concerning the
condition of the company under the
management of Mr.. Lewis Jefferson.
1t is generally known that the first
seasons work for the Jane Moseley
was a poor one, for the reason that
the boat did not reach Washington in
time to make a full season, nor were
its books open in sufficient time to
have the best dates chartered. The
same trouble confronted the company
the past season for the same reason,
and but for the financial standing and
confidence in Manager Jefferson, the
Moseley would probably not have oper-
ated on the Potomac this year. Our
reporter, in order to obtain the facts
in the case. sought Managed Jefferson
for an interview. When approached
and asked what was the trouble with
the Freedmans Land and Transporta-
tion Company, and why were so many
rumors afioat concerning it's manage
ment. etc, Mr.. Jefferson replied, 1.-The
first season of the Jane Moseiey under
the ownership of the Freedmans Land
and Transportation Company was a
failure for the reason that the boat
came to Washington so late in the sea-
son that the best dates had been char
tered, and but very little busines was
done.
The same trouble happened last
spring. and after the Moseley had been
SEM to Washington, it would have
been taken away had l not made my

self responsible for the payments, then
overdue, and retained the boat. The
company was cognizant of all the
facts in the case and knew just what
1 had done in the matter, and the re-
sponsibilities | had assumed. From
July until September 1 was the re-
sponsible head of the boat and l re
peatedly urged upon the company the
necessity of coming to my rescue, or
the boat would be lost. For more rea-
pany did not come to my rescue, and
as the Baltimore company, from whom
the Freedmans Land and Transporta-
tion Company had bought the Jane
1 made the second payment in the
name of the company, but was held by
the Baltimore company responsible for
the boat, and for the other overdue
to call the company together to raise
money sufficient to reimburse me, and
to put the Jane Moseley back into its
hands, but at every instance for one
reason or another the company has
failed to materialize, and not only
that, but individual members of it
went to Baltimore and endeavored to
undermine the work I had already
done for, and in thes interest of the
company.
1 have no desire to own the boat,
nor to take any advantage of anyone,
and am willing TO turn the boat over
to the company provided l am re-im-
bursed for the money L have spent
out of my own pockets. l am willing
that competent men be appointed to
investigate all of my accounts, and 1
think that this is all that any company
Cf fair-minded people should ask. The
Freedmans Land and Transportation
Company has a chance to redeem it's
property and to operate the Jane Nose
ly. If it does not take advantage Of
this opportunity the probabilities are
that the Moseley will do business on
the Potomac River next season under
the management and ownership of
members of the present Freedmans
Land and Improvement Company.
