DEFENDS BOND SALE DELAY
Knickerbocker Trust President
Awaits Papers in Suit.

Charles n Keep. president Of the knick-
erbocker Trust Company, said yesterday
with reference 10 the action brought in the
United States Court in Jacksonville, Fla
by the Florida Railway TO recover S6,O@OOO
damages frOin the trust company the
Seaboard Air Line Railway and Mr.. Keep
and others on the ground that they had
conspred TO prevent the Florida Railway
Company from extending its line 70 the At
lantic ports that ne had not yet been
served with any papers in the case. and
that all he knew about the reported suit
was what he had seen In the newspapers.
In regard 70 the allegations in the rail-
vav company's complaint that II was pre-
vented from carrying out the extension by
the failure Of the Knickerbocker Trust
COMPANY 70 act properly as trustee in
delivering bonds sold in France, Mr. Keep
said that the provisions OF the mortgage
under which these bonds were issued were
so obscure that the trust company had
declined 10 deliver the bonds without in
structions from the court, and asked the
railway company 70 cooperate with il in
securing such instructions. This the rail-
way company refused 70 do. he said, and
the Knickerbocker company thereupon re-
signed as trustee OF the bonds. The trust
company, he added, was prepared TO give
an accounting 70 the court OF its trustee
ship whenever called upon TO do so.
Respecting the charge made by the
Florida Railway that the action Of the
Knlc6erbocker Trust Company in failins
20 deliver the bonds was Influenced by TWO
directors Of the Seaboard Air Line, Mr..
Keep said that this was not true. and that
SO far as ne was aware the seaboard com
panv did not even know Of the existence
OF the Florida Railway bonds.

who through carelessness or for any other
reason. fails to record his vote on such
measure, consciously or unconsclogsiy
gives aid to the plans Of any other alder
man TO enforce demands for patronage IN
exchange for his vote.
