PROMOTERS MUST PAY BACK
Passaic Steel Men Liable for
S460.0OO Secret Profit.

Paterson, n. j., Dec. 16 (SpeciaD Vice
Chancellor Howell has filed a decision de-
claring that Henry F. Bell, president Of
the Citizens Trust Company, of Paterson;
Frederick F. Soaring and Albert c. Fair
child were in a legal sense promoters OF
the Passaic Steel Company, and therefore
liable for the secret profits obtained. Scar
ing and FairchiId are held jointly and sew
orally liable for the full amount OF the
profits, estimated at s46o0o0, and Bell is
held liable for $4,000.
The steel company was reorganization
of the old Passaic Rolling Mill Company,
and the capital was jumped from s2Oo. 900
to s75o0GG0 without the addition OF dollar
to the assets of the company.
The Chancellor says the promoters
made secret profit Of about 100000 in
bonds and So, 900 900 In stock. They were
enabled to withdraw from the company 20
per cent of its bond issue and 60 per cent
of it's stock issue, for which they paid
nothing
The suit was brought by William A.,
Thomas A. and George Arnold, who were
among the stockholders and bondholders
for the Passaic Steel Company, which later
became involved in financial difficulties and
was bought in by committee of the bond
holders at a receivership sale.

HITS WALLACE COMMITTEE
Chaplin Committee Enjoins Fur
ther Use of Bonds.

Judge Moves rendered a decision yester-
day, regarded as a victory for the Chaplin
committee. which is fighting the Wallace
committee over the reorganization of the
Wheeling & Lake Erie and Wabash Pitts
burg Terminal Railway Company by the
first mortgage bondholders.
The Wallace committee, headed by James
n. Wallace, president of the Central Trust
Company, represents the Gould interests
and the wabash Railroad, while the Chap
lin committee represents those bondholders
whose interests were intrusted to the Colo
NAL Trust Company. of Pittsburg. The
Wallace committee counts among its men,
bers Paul Morton, Haley Fiske Harry
Bronner, Ex-Governor Myron T. Herrick of
Ohio, Gordon Abbott, Of Boston, and George
p. Butler.
After the Wallace committee had been
in existence two years and had in hand
more than s23,000o0o of bonds. the Chaplin
committee was organized by Samuel Inter
myer, as a protest against the alleged in
action of the Wallace committee.
The Wallace committee refused to hand
over TO the new body any Of the bonds, on
the ground that no bondholder could, ac-
cording to the agreement made, withdraw
his bonds until sixty days after plan Of
reorganization had been published.
The Chaplin committee, which represented
holders of 100000 in bonds, sued to COM
pei the Wallace committee to return the
bonds and prevent their further use. In
granting the injunction Judge Noyes upheld
the right of the bondholders to withdraw
their bonds from the control Of the Wallace
committee when they saw fit.
The case is an incident in the fight Of
the Chaplin committee to prevent the re-
organization Of the two railroad properties
involved in such a way as to retain them
as Fart of the Wabash system.
