When several months ago the Ameri-

bought George Gould's stock in the

troll, it was pointed out that the Mackav
companies held approximately S.
600 shares Of the telephone stock. This
was interpreted by many as a tacit

decision of the Mackay companies TO

agreed upon at the annual meeting OF
the companies in Boston today. 4
statement explaining the action was
issued in New York tonight by G. G.
Adams, vice president of the Postal

ment says:
This step is being taken in defer
ence TO public opinion, which views
with suspicion this large holding of
stock in a company which has recently
purchased the control OF the Western
Union telegraph company.
Moreover, that stock was acquired
by the Mackay companies with a view
to bringing about economies in the
construction and maintenance of joint
pole lines over long stretches of coun-
try, where the business was not suff-
cient to justify either company con-
structing an independent pole line by
itself.

apply TO each of the three Individual
cases. were promptly issued by him.
The injunctions are directed to Mayor
Mccarthy. Chief of Police John b. Mar
tin and the new appointees named by
the mayor. and command them to cease
all interference with the old board In
the exercise of its duties, and to turn
over the board rooms and all property
of the board now in their possession to
the members of the old board.
The action of Judge Sturtevant sets
at naught all that was done by the new
board yesterday afternoon. annulllng
the attempted rganization and the
removal of Dodge. Commenting last
night upon the events of the afternoon,
Charles S. Wheeler said:
One of the greatest outrages ever
perpetrated in an American city under
the guise of official power was perpe-
trated al the rooms of the board of edu-
cation this afternoon. Mrs. Mary w.
Kincaid. one Of the school directors, and
Miss letters, sister in law of former
Mayor Taylor. had been at the home of
Mrs Phebe eHarst at Pieasanton over
night and had gone directly to the
board of education rooms, taking their
dress suit cases with them, upon their
arrival in this city.
Miss LETTERS is in no way connected
with the school department, but was
ordered out of the room with Mrs. Kin
caid by the crowd that accompanied
the newly appointed board members
and the policemen who attended them.
As Mrs Kincaid and Miss letters We're
about to leave the room with their
cases they were commanded by this
crowd to open them, and over their
protests were compelled to do so on
the pretense that papers and docu-
ments pertaining to the school depart
ment might be concealed in them. They
were forced TO exhibit their private
possessions and articles of apparel.
Il believe that our judicial system is
not yet broken down and that there is
a law in the land to prevent such ruff
fanism and rowdyism. That law will
be invoked, and / have no doubt but
that the wrong will be righted. One
thing [ will say is that Mr. Mccarthy s
appointees viii never obtain their seats
in that Office unless they shall succeed
in establishing their rights to them
through quo warranto proceedings
The law is abundantly clear upon that
point"

contrary were enjoying perfect health.
despite the fact that the law requires
their detention in quarantine for two
weeks
The letter reads, in part:
The quarantine quarters are quite
fine. There is a grand playground and
fine training quarters and the boys are
all delighted with their surroundings.

that 1t does not create a valid

for distribution to them as
trustees, but they insist upon
the severabiIity Of the trust as TO

maintain that 1t is the duty of
the court to sever the trust IL

'sBut the authorities do not
sustain this contention. The same
eases and text books are cited
with confidence by both sides, but
they do not seem to support the
position assumed by petitioners,
as has been sufficiently shown In
this opinion.
ut fs not correct construction
of this Will to conclude from Its

that there are but two TRUSTS
one trust for the benefit of the
widow and one for the benefit of
the daughter; that those arc the
only trusts here, and that the
disposition of the property upon
the termination of those trusts
Is made by way of devise and not
by way of trust, and that the
testator intended that the two
sons should take title before any
division. This Is a contradiction
of the very words of the Will,

peat."-From opinion of JUDGE
