from this city to the effect that Judge
John E. Safer, of the United States
District COURT, had rendered decision
against the Chesapeake & Ohio Rail-
road Company as to it's power to hold

that the defendant company had a
right to hold and own stock, and thar
the board of directors of the Hooking
Valley were legally selected.
However, the court continued the
injunction against the increase of the
capital stock and the voting of the
stock held until the question of facts
can be determined as to whether the
two railroads. mentioned are competing
lines.
