take charge OF the defense and says
no appeal will be made to the un-

DIRECTORS MUST APPEAR
At Hearing in New York City Railway
 Case and Show Books.

New York, Dec. 24-On application of Attorney General Jackson, Supreme Court Justice Greenbaum signed an order to-day directing Herbert H. Vree- land, Oren Root, jr., and seven other directors of the New York City Railway Co to appear before Referee John Frankenheimer for examination into the recent appointment of receivers for the company by the United States Cir. cult court. The order also requires the production at the hearing of the min ute books of the company and the rec ords of every directors meeting since September 1
 In his petition, the attorney general alleges that there was collision be- tween the Railway company and the Pennsylvania Steel company and Deg non Contracting company which brought the action for the appointment of the receivers. The petition further declares that the present action is brought to procure judgment dissolving the defendants corporation and for feiting it's corporate rights and priv lileges on the ground that it has re- mained insolvent for at least one year and for the appointment of receivers to
 hold the property of the defendant pending the trial of the action.
