Big Interests Are Involved.

Behind the legal controversy which
is now on for the control of the Clinch-
field corporation is story of rival rail-
road interests that seek to gain posses
sion of what is believed to be one of the
most valuable coal fields in the coun-
try. There is an ultimate outlay of
from 1000, 900 to $40, 900, 900 involved
for whoever gets this property. A half
dozen railroads are interested directly
or indirectly.
The Pennsylvania Railroad Wander
bilt community of ownership that DOM
mates the Chesapeake and Ohio and
the Norfolk and Western is concerned
to prevent the introduction of q rival
in the soft coal fields controlled by
these companies. The systems to the
south, including the Atlantic Coast
Line, the Southern Railway and the
Seaboard Air Line, are alive to the val
ue of getting control OF heavy tonnage,
such as coal properties afford. The
Seaboard at one time was dickering for
the Clinchfeld proderty, Then there
is the Zimmerman syndicate, which is
supposed to plan the extention of the
Detroit Southern and the Cincinnati,
Hamilton and Dayton railroads into
the coal fields of Southwest Virginia.
II will be seen that with all these in
terests having something at stake, the
row over the Clinchfield property
promises to become q notable affair.
Mr.. George Blackstone, president of
the Union Trust Company, is CEN
trail figure in the contention. This is
the second time MIR. Blackstone has
been under fire because of the Clinch-
field property. The first time was
during the panic in the local financial
world in 1903 when he was criticised
for placing his company in control OF
the Clinchfield proposition. which, in
the secret language of the street at that
time, was an impossible" project.
The Union Trust Company had some
money tied up in the enterprise, and
this fact, with the criticism hurled
against it, furnished fuel to the excite.
ment rampant at that time in financial
circles. In less than two years Mr..
Blackstone has seen the estimate of the
Clinchfeld proposition completely re-
yersed. While two years ago he was
the target of the people who were run
ming away from it, he now has a fgh
on his hands from half dozen people
who want to get hold of the property
Tho progress of the litigation in thi
respect is disclosing big interests a
work.
, 1t is openly charged that the Uniol
Trust Company is representing th,

capture the property. The trust COM
pany got together a majority OF stock
of the Clinchfield corporation for some
big interest. In the meantime the
board of directors, under authority
claimed from the stockholders, sold
the property to Mr.. George L. Garter,
of Bristol, Va, one of the directors in
the company, who is variously reported
as representing the Pennsylvania Rail-
road, Vanderbilt interests, the Zim-
norman syndicate, the Seaboard Air
Line and others.
The case of the Union Trust Com
pany, comdlainant, against George L.
Garter and the Clinchfield corporation,
defendants, will be argued before
Judge Goff, at Clarksyille, W. Va,
today. Separate answers will be filed
by the defendants. Mr.. George L.
Garter is represented by Mr.. Elihu
Root, of New York; Cans & Haman, of
Baltimore, and J. Norment Powell, of
Bristol, Va. The Clinchfeld corpora
tion is represented by J. Southgate
Lennon, Of Baltimore. The Union
Trust Company will be represented by
Messrs. Stone & Auerbach. of New
York; Mr.. William H. White, of Nor
folk, and Mr.. Fielder @. Slingluff, of
Baltimore, and the interests of the de-
PENDANTS will be represented before
Judge Goff by Mr.. Lemmons, repre-
senting the Clinchfield corporation,
and Mr.. Elihu Root and Mr.. Edgar II
Cans. The suit was brought to SET
aside a sale made by the directors Of
the Clinchfeld corporation to Mr..
George L. Carter, who is also a direc'
tors Of that company.
The price which was agreed to be
paid, and was actually paid in cash by
the defendant, George L. Carter, was
$500, 900.
One of the points to answer to tn,
suit of the Union Trust Company il
the allegation that this suit sis being
prosecuted at the instigation and ex
pense of the Southern Railway Com
pany; that the complainant (the Unioi
Trust Company Of Maryland) is being
paid for the use Of its name; that thi
suit is not bona fiide stockholders
suit; that the purpose of the suit is no
to protect any stockholders of tn
Clinchfeld corporation, but to enabl
the Southern Railway to get control o
the property of the Clinchfield corpo
ration. Baltimore News, Jan. 80.

Owing to the absence of the officials
of the South and Western Railway
company Wednesday it was impossible
to get definite information in regard to
the purpose of the recently incorpora-
ted company and there is no certainty
whatsoever that its organizers are con-
nected with the South and Western
Railway company, but it is the general
impression that the two companies are
virtually one and the same. That the
officials of the South and Western Rail-
way company went to work before
Judge Price rendered his decision In
the quo warranto proceedings, organ
lied a new company and applied for a
new charter, without awaiting the out
come of the quo warranto case, is also
surmise, but such may have been the
case. Such a move on the part OF the
South and Western officials in antici-
patton of the recent decision by Judge
Price would appear to be very adroit
one and no doubt would defeat the in.
tentions of the plaintiffs in the quo

COAL LAND FIGHT
Seaboard Air Line VS.. South
ern Railway.

New York, January 29.-The Herald
says: For the control Of the Clinch-
field corporation, holding company
of an important stretch Of railroad six
tyseven miles long, and valuable coal
land in Virginia, Tennessee and North
Carolina an interesting contest is now
being waged between two syndicates
of Wall street bankers, one set repre-
senting the Southern Railway, and the
other identified with the Sesboard Air
Line.
At present the shares representing
control of the South and Western rail
road and the Cranes Nest Coal Com
pany are in possession OF syndicate
comprising T. F. Ryan, N. g. Ream,
T. j. Coolidge, Jr.. and Blair & Co.
II. b. Hollins & Go. and Eugene
Zimmerman representing another syn
dicate acting in the interests of the
Southern railway, have acquired ma
iority of stock Of ths Olinchfield corpo-
ration and have repudiated the sale of
the holding company's assets. Prepa-
rations are now being made to have
the matter settled in the law courts.
For days past there has been much
gossip concerning the ownership of the
Clinchtield corporation and the prop
critics which it held. The activity Of
Mr.. Zimmerman, of the Cincinnati,
Hamilton & Dayton, led to the report
that the vast coal lands of the Cranes
Nest Coal company were to be acquired
in the interests Of that property. Nu-
merous other guesses have been made.
