Although 16 hours have passed since

Alexandria County Lighting
Company Takes Action
Against Md Va, CO.
IN RICHMOND TO-DAY.
On Judge Thornton's Refusal to Is
sue Restraining Order Matter is
Taken to Court of Appeals. =.
peals.

In an effort to induce the Supreme
Court of Appeals at Richmond to is
sue restraining order preventing the
merger of the Arlington Electric
Light Company of Alexandria county
with the Maryland and Virginia Com
pany of this city, Attorney Leo P.
Harlow, representing the Alexandria
County Lihgting Co., is in Richmond
today. Up to 2o'clock no advice had
been received from Mr.. Harlow as to
the result of his endeavors.
The action in taking this matter to
the Supreme Court follows a petition
which was made to Judge j. B. T.
Thornton, of the Alexandria Circuit
Court last Saturday afternoon, at
which time Judge Thornton was ask
ed to issue an order restraining the
merger.
Gardner l.. Boothe, attorney for the
Maryland Virginia Company, appear
ed in opposition to the petition Of
the Alexandria County Lighting Co.
The hearing was held at 5 o'clock
in the afternoon and at its conclu-
sion Judge Thornton announced that
he would refuse to grant the order
on the ground that there was not
sufficient time for him to examine into
the subject, and suggested that the
question be taken up direct with the
Supreme Court of Appeals which is
now in session in Richmond.
AS had been previously stated in
the Gazette a meeting OF the stock
holders of the Arlington Company as
we'll as those of the Maryland Virginia
Company is to be :leld tomorrow
to approve the merger and the Alex
andria County Lighting Company
hopes to be able to prevent the meet
ing of the Arlington concern.
The reason given by the AleXan-
dria County Lighting Co. for the ac-
ton, is that they are the actual pos
SCISSORS of forty-three s,lares of the
Arlington Company and that further
more they are entitled to purchase an
additional number of shares so as
to be in control Of the organization.
It appears that the Arlington Com
panty was organized by Frank r.
Weller vice-president of the Alexan-
dria County Lighting Company and
that the plan of organization provided
that the Arlington Company was to
be controlled by the latter concern.
Instead of securing control, however,
the Alexandria County Lighting Co.,
claims that an arrangement was made
with the organizers of the Maryland
and Virginia Company by which the
Arlington Company was to be merged
with the latter.
The Arlington Company has no
power plant of its own but purchases
it's current from the Alexandra
Lighting Company under two years
County Lighting Co. under two years
months to run.
officers of the Maryland-Virginla
Company were loath to discuss thell
plans today in view of the fight whlcf
has been begun against the absorp
ton of the Arlington Company, bu
indicated that they nad no doubt tina
the merger would be allowed by tint
courts of Virginia, and that the plal
would be carried forward as !eS-
pected. !
