Sergeant William J. Murphy. of Brooklyn
Police Headquarters, who was arrested on
Sunday on complaint of several citizens,
charged with intoXication and creating a
disturbance at l06th street and Broadway,
was discharged yesterday by Magistrate
Barlow, in the West Side Court
None of the complainants appeared
against the sergeant and neither Patrol
man Baile nor Lieutenant Rheumo OF the
West Tooth street station, where Murphy
was taken under arrest. could swear he
was intoxicated. Murphy told the mag.s-
trate that he had no drinks that day that
he could remember and that his mind was
a blank from O'Clock Saturday afternoon,
when he left d theatre. until he was taken
to the station on Sunday afternoon.
The only explanation Murphy could give
of his condition, he said, was that he
might have taken some tablets containing
morphine by mistake for digestive tab
lets. SINCE his arrest, he said, he has
searched his home for these morphine tab
lets and could find none. 4 physicians

.LOREE SUED IN BIG DEAL
Railroad President and Others
Defendants in $4,000, 900 Case.
OUTWITTEO BY HARTMAN
Occidental Construction Com.
pany Says 1t Was Betrayed
for Southern Pacific.

I. +. Loree president Of the Delaware &
Hudson Railroad Company and an officer or
! director in more than thirty other trans
portation and public utility corporations, is
one of the defendants in an action brought
by the Occidental Construction Company TO
recover sG,10O,0O0 which, it is alleged, was
lost to the company through a conspiracy
by the defendants TO defraud the plaintiff
company. The action is brought in the Su-
preme Court.
The Occidental Construction Company
was incorporated in New Jersey in 1902
with a capital OF $4,000 Among the
corporators were Loree and Charles Miller
who also is a defendant in the suit, and
seven others. Miller was elected president
of the company and Loree was chosen as
chairman of the executive committee. The
purpose Of the corporation was the building
Of a railroad in Mexico from the city Of
Guayamas. in the State Of Sonora TO
Guadalajare, a distance of one thousand
miles II was also planned 10 build
branch line Of one hundred miles TO a min.
ing camp it being figured that the mine
was sufficiently rich 10 pay for the con.
struction of that spur.
Louis Warfield, vice-president Of the COM
pany, had charge Of these plans. Warfield
was designated in 1906 10 conduct negoti-
ations with the Mexican government for a
subsidy. The government agreed to give
Sc. 900, 600 If the company would change the
course Of the road from Guayamas where il
was originally planned Il should start, and
make the city Of Alamas the starting point.
About that time the Southern Pacific
r,-ao al 70
tablsh this road and get the subsidy. but
the Mexican government refused TO nego-
tiate with any one except the plaintiff COM
pany. Loree Miller and Wartield, II is
alleged. met j. 4. Naugle. representing the
Southern Pacific. IN Mexico City. Loree,
the plaintiff company says. told Naugle
that he knew the plans OF Edward H. Har-
riman, who controlled the Southern Pacific,
and that he knew Mr.. Hartman did not
want the road.
Notwithstanding this alleged statement
by Lorec, the Occidental Construction Com
pany complains that at a meeting OF the
company board held subsequently Loree
forced through a resolution providing that
tho Occidental company take only an op-
tion for two years on the Mexican road, In
stead Of negotiating for immediate action.
Then IN the mean time Naugle obtained thr
concession that the Occidental company
wanted. The plaintiff company says that
the action Of LOrce was conspiracy 10
defraud the Occidental company and help
the Southern Pacific.
The negotiations carried on By the Occi-
dental company and plans drawn for the
road cost 800, 600 The pIaintif seeks to re-
gain this amount and the $6,000,0OO subsidy
offered by the Mexican government, which
u is alleged was lost by the action of the
defendants.
