While the average production per

The petition alleges that che two
roads are competitors and that the
purchase was a violation of the laws
of Michigan; that 100000 of con-
solidated mortgages were issued and
bonds sold without the knowledge OF
the majority of the stockholders and
that the whole deal was a conspir-
acy to work injury to the complain
ants.
The compliments pray for true
accounting and that the $5,000,000
of bonds issued for security of col
lateral trust notes be declared void
as obligations against the Detroit,
Toledo & Ironton road, or as having
any lien on the property.
Detroit, Nov. 23.-Concerning the
dispatch from Columbus, Benjamin
S. Warren, general counsel Of the
Detroit, Toledo & Ironton road said:
"The question as to the validity
of the issue of $5,000,0O0 in bonds
is not a new one, and testimony is
now being taken in New York on
this point. The suit of Mr.. Lisman
however, is a new development
When the matter was heard by
Judge Swan in Detroit, in September
Mr.. Lisman desired to file an inter-
vening petition, but the judge held
that it was not the proper time for
such action. He seems to have gone
to Columbus and started suit as
nonresident holder of underlying
stock.
