plea Of County Attorney Tyrrels for a dis
solution OF the merger of. the two com

was introduced, the brief says, to
show any defects In the, merger.

the law requires the par value of the
stocks and bonds Issued in a consolidation
shall not exceed the physical valuation or
cost of construction and equipment; that
the par value of the stock and bond Issue
of the defendant exceeds the physical
valuation and is therefore illegal.
The defendant conceded In the brief filed
that the valuation Of the property by the
commission is based on replacement value
OF the physical property and original cost.
as controlling the earnings, the defendant
contends that the consolidation act au-
thorlzss the constituent companies to agree
on the value Of he railways as going con
Germs and to issue stock and bonds repre-
sentins such agreed value.

no law by making the merger.

MARK TWAIN LIBRARY.
Cornerstone to be Laid at Bedding
 June 18-Distinguished Talk.

The New York World said: On June
 Is there will be small pilgrimage from New York to Redding Conn,
 where it is intended to lay the corner
 stone of the new Mark Twain Memorial
 Library. At the lonely little cross
 roads at Sellick's Corners. two miles | and half from the railroad station, just where the water comes down | over the cascade on the Harry Lo1,sss- bury farm the little library is to be built At present there is nothsn g | there but the briar-tang1ed four corn CTS, the lichen- covered stones of the | old walls and the green fields, ttlickIy studded with stones stretching away on
 every side.
 The library, which is to be a memorial more to MT. Twain's daugh- will be partly built of these round field stones that abound on the land scape. It was one of the last acts of Mark Twain to draw a check for $6,000 to pay for his contribution for this neighborhood library.
 Some might ask why a library is needed at so lonely place in the coun- try, but the answer is that Bedding is becoming quite literary colony; Since Mark Twain went there to live on June IS. three years ago, many book makers and writers, artists and musi- ciaHs have followed his lead and set tied in the little town for the summer months.
 Among them are Condo, the artist; Ida Tarbell Edward Grummond, Jean cite Glider. Dan Beard, Kate v. St. Maur and others. Mime. Nordiea Is a frequent visitor there and Kate Van nah. the composer, intends to pass part of this summer there. Irving BacheI- Ter Hamlin Garland and others are going up for the week Of the corner stone laying, and the entertainment that will be held on the day of the great event will have the most dis ,tinguished list of entertainers ever known in Connecticut, because every one who goes is expected to take some part.
 Holman Day, the author, will prob ably read one of his humorous poems Mrs Meeker Jones Is arranging for the afternoon entertainment and she will have charge of the fancy work booth at the party that is to raise money for the library. Mrs. Harry Leuns- bury Wiu have charge of the folk dances and the general dancing ar engagements. Mrs. Hill of Bedding will look after the feeding of the multitude and Mrs. Dan Beard is the chair woman Of the reception committee.
 One result of so many distinguished people going to Bedding for the sum mer has been a remarkable rise in real estate prices and old farms that could be bought for a few hundred dollars are now worth few thousand instead Nearly every literary family has pick ed out Q tunble-town farmhouse to repair and renovate into an artistic old manse.

WESTERLY BOARD OF TRADE
Holds Final Meeting Until OetoberMatter of Resulat ing Fourth of July Fireworks Left to Special Com mttee-New Members Voted in.

President Charles Perry called the monthly meeting of the Westerly Board of Trade to order Tuesday even- ing, Owing to the presence of Gov ernor Pothier and staff in the village and the near close of election there was a small attendance at the opening but soon thereafter there was a quorum present. The minutes of the May meeting were read and approved.
 The secretary read communications from the American Forestry aSsocia- - tfon and asked the cooperation of the Westerly Board of Trade, showing the need of funds for the promotion of the work. and asked the organization to become a sustaining member at a cost of S25 year.
 Another was read from the Pilots Association of New Orleans asking CO., operation in an industrial exposition in that city in 1915.

 There was latter read from the Eastern Traffic association of commer cial organizations which also asked for moral support
 The communications were referred to the executive committee for ac- tion.

Der of Commerce, the Westerly Board of Trade sent invitation to the fourth international chambers of commerce and boards of trade, to be held in Lon- don. that the fifth conference be held in Boston.
 All unfinished business was referred to the executive committee for ac- tion.
 The names of Samuel IT. Davis and William H. Dennis were submitted for m enlb ership and they were elected Iun- der suspension of the rules.
 Frank W. Coy spoke in favor of a safe and sane Fourth of July and he understood there was to be a celebra- tion held o>N that date. He thought it would be well to suggest that the sale of fireworks be prohibited in Westerly and that the Selectmen of StoningtOn be asked to cooperate.
 Arthur N. Nash said this was a bad time for such action, as it would be unfair to the merchants who had all it up at this late day would be unfair. It did not affect him personally as he had not sold fireworks for two years.
 Chairman Pefry was in favor of the project, but he believed it too late to take any action at this time, but it would be well to plan for future use of fireworks, The matter was referred to a special committee.
 The board adjourned for the summer vacation. to meet again the first Tues day in October.
 The executive committee will be ac- tive all summer, hold frequent meet ings, and call special meetings of the board if deemed expedient.

GIGANTIC MELON
To Be Cut in Bridgeport for Benefit
 of Singer Mfg. Company.

What is declared to be the biggest melon ever sliced in the financial his tory of the United States will be cut for the benefit of the Singer Mfo. company, which firm controls the Bridgeport factory formerly owned by the Wheeler & Wilson Mfg. company. The dividend is sS0,00o.00O. or 100 per cent. of the capital stock, and a DOT tion of this will be divided among stockholders in Bridgeport.
 The company has called a meeting of directors June IS to declare a stock dividend of s3O,00O,0 ,000. The concern is capitalized at $3O,O00,000 and the stock dividend just declared is 100 per cent. Although the company has a cash surplus of s30.000.O06, the directors feel that a stock rather than a cash dividend is advisable.
 Just what amount of this dividend will be divided among the local stock holders in the company is not known, although it is proba ble that it will reach a considerable figure. When sold to the Singer company four years ago. a handsome profit was realized bv some of the Wheeler & Wilson stockholders. The selling price was over s6O a share and a year previous some was purchased at from $11 to $25
