NEW HAVEN MERGER
Will Be Heard Nov. 17-Road vii
Present Objections to Equity Bill.

Boston, Oct Z9.-Three judges of the
United States circuit court today fixed
Nov II as the date when the Objec-
tons of the New York New Haven &
Hartford Railroad to the advancement
Of the ILL in equity brought against
the road by the government to prevent
the Boston & Maine Railroad merger
and to divorce the New Haven co.
from trolley holding, will be heard.
The request Tor the advancement Of
the case was made by the attorney
general on the so-called eXpcdirn act
of Congress, which act counsel for the
New Haven claimed today was uncon-
stitutional.
1t was the first time that the now
famous merger case has appeared In
court and from the statements ;f Col
j. Fl. Benton of the New Haven Road,
it is likely to be before the courts for
some time to come.
The bill in equity was filed in the
United States circuit court by District
Attorney French in June and demands
und,r the sherman law that the New
HAN, n Co. relinquish its holdings of
the lock of the Boston & Maine hail
road and also dispose of its interests
in Numerous street railway companies
on tie ground that such holdings con-
stitute Il restraint of trade. Since the
orig nal bill, the New Haven 60. and
the Boston & Maine have filed lengthy
dem; rrcrs.
Al cut a month ago District Attorney
Ere. IN filed q request in behalf OF At
torn y General Bonaparte that the case
~ e
peah;, basing his claim on the recent
act IF Congress called the eNpediting
act. The counsel for the New Haven
90. objected to such advancenent ;,nd
TODAY both sides met before Judges
Coli. Putnam and Lowell for the fist
tim" in open court on the merger case.
C,l. Benton in behalf of the road ar
gued that to transfer the case as re-
auested by the government would take
ii out of tie hands of ;tl inferior court,
which he claimed was against tho law.
He also said that he was unable to
rnake pleadings in the case, as he
would not know in which court to
make them.
District Attorney French said that
the request of the attorney general did
not take the case out of the jnriSdic
ton of The circuit court but merely
expedited it. Col. Benton then replied
that the company considered such ac-
ton as violation of the Constitution
and should certainly fight IL 70 til"
court oil last resort. Aftcr q Brief
Of consultation with his associates,
Judge Cole announced that the court
would hear arguments Nov. il on the
objection of the New Haven Road.
