Cleveland, O.. July 25.-Papers were
served on Tom l.. johnson late this after
noon citing him to appear in common
pleas court tomorrow morning to show
cause why he should not be punished
for contempt of violating a temporary
injunction issued by Judge Ford today.
The Injunction was issued upon appll-
cation of the Cleveland Electric Railway
company restraining the city from pro-
ceeding further with the tearing up of
the street railway tracks in Fulton
street, which was begun by force Of
several hundred men under the personal
direction of Mayor johnson today. The
work of tearing away the tracks was
well under way when the restraining
orders were served on the mayor, and
no attention was paid to It when they
were served.

WESTINGHOUSE IS
NOW IN TROUBLE

There was a hot discussion and it de-
veloped that the capital stock of the
Lackawanna and Wyoming Valley Rapid
Transit company is 100000, and that
the road cost about ss.OOo.ooo No one was
sure that these figures were correct. and
there was more or less confusion.
Finally Mr. Carrothers said:
I'VE have 100000 worth of bonds and
100000 worth of stock. Who has the re-
mainder OF the stock? This company
puts up all the money that is spent on
the roads and gets only 10000 worth of
stock Why should not this company
have all the stock If 1t pays for the
road?n
No one present was enabled to explain
the report in detail The adoption of the
report was moved. but John Gregg, one
of the directors, said:
Before we close | want to know from
whom the stock of this Rapid Transit
company was purchased. | understand
that these stocks We're purchased from
Mr.. Westinghouse; that this is private
corporation and that Mr. Westinghouse
unloaded the stock on this company
A voice was heard:
AT twice its value"
After several calls for vote the report
was adopted and the old board of diree-
tors was re elected with the exception OF
James Hazen Hyde, who is succeeded by
t. ". Semon, and Frank Taylor. whose
place is taken by ". r. Uptegraff.

Johnson and others.
Mayor johnson tonight in formal
statement defends his action and that Of
his subordinates in tearing away the
tracks of the Cleveland Electric railway.
He says In part
"On June II the city council by resolu-
ton ordered the railroad company TO
move its single track on Fulton street.
and directed the board Of public service
to move the tracks unless the company
compiled within thirty days. That was
six weeks ago. and the order has been
utterly ignored by the company
"The railway has been violating the
order all this time and has shown no in
clinatlon to obey the clty's order. which
was perfectly reasonable and usual
one"
The hearing tomorrow morning, In
which Mayor Johnson is cited before
Judge Ford for contempt, will be stub
bornly contested on both sides.
