yesterday the application OF stockholders to re-
strain the Delaware & Hudson company from pay
ing dividends amounting to S.a .eoo. declared IN
December for the ensuing year. and declined to
make permanent the temporary Injunction granted
by Justice Patzek
Ex-Judge Rufus B. Cowing obtained the tenn
porary injunction behalf of William G. Nicholas.
John H. Greene, jr.. and Emanuel Weingreen, hold
ers OF large amount of the per cent debentures.
In his decision Justice O'Gornan says:
It is not pretended that the defendant is insoi-
vent, and in my Judgment the payment Of the pro-
posed dividend cannot impair the value of the
plaintiffs securities.
Preliminary injunctions which in effect deter
mine the litigation and give the relief whcE
is expected TO be obtained by the judgment are
granted with great caution and only when neces-
sity requires: l can perceive no such necessity in
this case. If the plaintiffs claim is well founded
their interest can be protected by the final udg-
Inent If after trial upon the merits determination
OF the issues should be made in their favor.
1t must be apparent that the granting of this
application would work irrepar2ble harm the
credit of the defendant corporation and deprive

Brokers Think It's Talue Will Be
Demonstrated.

The attitude of the New York Stock Exchange
will not be antagonistic to Herbert Knox Smith.
Commissioner of Corporations. who has been asked
by President Roosevelt to investigate the ways and
means Of doing business the local board IN
deed, the universal attitude of the members seems
to be to court an investigation.
Secretary Ely of the Stock Exchange said: I'VE
will show Mr. Smith all that have There Is alb
solutey nothing for US to conceal in regard 10 the
exchange or its management"
There is also feeling among many Of the Stock
Exchange members that the investigation is as
much political a. mrneIcIal in It's bearing An
attempt has been made to draw parallel between
the proposed investigation Of the Stock Exchange
and the probe which Mr.. Smith conducted into the
affairs of the Standard Oil Company. but there is
a great difference between the two. The Stock Ex-
change has corporate existence, but is merely
a close association Of which official records
are kept.
Frederick s. Flower. Of Flower & Co. had the
following TO say concerning the investigation: Il
think that investigation OF this sort. unbiased
by popular prejudice would tend to convince the
public of the necessity Of the exchanges IN the
commercial life of the country
w ]. WOllnar, of J. S. Bache & Co, said: ut
would be a most beneficial move in the present
condition Of public agitation and would enlighten
the great mass Of the American people as TO the
true value of the exchanges

said: L hope that Mr.. Smith will ask to see the
books Of this firm as would be only too glad
TO throw them open to him We have nothing to
fear from such an Investigation is proposed,
