STOCKHOLDERS IN A
 SENSATIONAL MEETING
HEAD OF WESTINGHOUSE ELEC- TRIO COMPANY BITTERY
 ASSAILED.

Openly Charged With Launching Pri-
 vate Ventures With the Corporations
 Funds-Directors Also Accused of
 Aiding Him--InfOrmation Demanded
 Concerning Unloading of $6,3OO,OOO
 Worth of Securities on the Company,
 Pittsburg, July 25.-At a sensa tional meeting of the stockholders of the Westinghouse Electric and Manufac- turing company to-day George Vest inghouse president of the company, was bitterly assailed and he was charg- ed openly by stockholders with launch ing private ventures with the com- pany's funds. The directors were charg- ed with aiding him in this, but after a bitter squabble the slated board of di- rectors were elected and the official coterie won out.
 John Carrothers, one of the minority stockholders led the opponents of Mir. Westinghouse The incident grew out of the report of the company. MT. Carrothers called attention to the as- sets in which was stocks and bonds of the Lackawanna and Wyoming Rapid Transit company, $6300,000. MT. Car rothers wanted to know how much was stock and how much bonds.
 There was a hot discussion and 1t developed that the capital stock of the LackaWanna and Wyoming Valley Rapid Transit company is s, 900 and that the road cost about $6,000OO0. No one was sure that these figures were correct, and there was more or less confusion.
 Finally MT. Carrothers said:
 ''We have S6,O00,000 worth of bonds and $S00,0O0 worth of stock. Who has the remainder of the stock? This com pany puts all the money up that is spent on the road and gets only $30O,000 worth of stock. Why shouldn't this company have all the stock if 1t pays for the road?"
 No one present was able 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 were purchased from MT. Westinghouse, that this is a pri- vate corporation, and that MT. Westing- house unloaded the stock on this com pany."
 A voice was heard, "At twice it's value
 After several calls for vote the re- port was adopted and the old board of directors was reelected, with the ex- ception of James Hazen Hyde, who is succeeded by T. ". Siemon, and Frank H. Taylor, whose place is taken by w.. D. Upgraff.
 The meeting to-day was the first held since July 23, 1897, nine years ago, when the stockholders met at the plant in East Pittsburg.

Companion to Seek Work in Torring-
 on but Returned.
 Great Harrington, Mass, July 25.- Emil streub, father of John, the twelve year rSold Housatonic boy, whose body was found in the woods near Housaton- ic about two weeks ago, was arrested late this afternoon on a warrant charg- ing him with the murder of his son, al the conclusion of two days inquest into the boys death. Mir. streub will be arralgned in court tomorrow morn ing.
 The father had been subjected to a rigid examination the greater part of yesterday and to-day but with the ex- ception of a few minor details his tes timony, 1t is said, was unshaken.
 The other witnesses at to-day's hear ing included Mrs. Caroline Rollinger, a neighbor: State Officers Hood and Nc Kay, and Officers Rathbun and Smith The time of the alleged murder was fixed at the inquest as July 10.
 On July the streub boy left home with another lad named Benjamin White, bound for Torrington, Conn., where they expected to secure work in a factory. Upon reaching Great Bar rington, Streub decided to return to his home in Housatonic while White ad. hered to his original plan of going tc Torrington, where he secured employ ment.
 Streub disappeared almost imme- diately after parting from White and his body was not discovered until Sun day, July Is, when searchers found il concealed beneath a pile of bushes which had been cut and placed over the body.
 An autopsy on the following morning by the medical examiner disclosed that a probable murder had been committed There were two fractures of the skull either of which would have proved fa- tal Further search revealed a long spike which was found in the bushes near by, marked with bloodspots and human hair. The spike, it was thought was the implement with which the murder had been committed.
 State and local officers were put al once upon the case and gradually sus- picion was directed towards Emi Streub. It is understood that the ar rest of the father is based upon testi- pony of neighbors at the inquest rela, tive to the attitude of Mir. Streufb to- wards his son.
