4. c. PIERCE ACCUSED
Of DEPRECAT|NG STOCK
Attorney Makes Charge in Suit
to Recover Terminal
Shares.

ST LOUIS. April 2S.-Charges that
Henry Clay Pierce. millionaire rail-
road and oil man. deprecated the
value of the stock of the Nashville
Terminal railway. were made at the
taking Of dispositions today in the suit
of the National Bank of Commerce
against Pierce for the recovery of 15.-
900 shares of the Nashville Terminal,
or their equivalent, $1.500,000.
The charge was made by George
Lockett Edwards, counsel for the bank.
Attorney Edwards asked Pierce it,.
when the terminal stock was pledged
with the bank as security for loan.
there was bond issue of but Sl,VOo,-
600 against the property.
Il don't know" said Pierce.
Isn't il true that after you got con-
troll of the property you increased the
bonded Indebtedness to $1,000 00?
asked the attorney
MY memory is vague on that was
the reply.
Attorneys Statement.
When objection was made TO this line
OF questioning Attorney Edwards said:
Il intend to show that Pierce depre-
ctated the value of the stock by caus-
ing an additional bond issue Of $1,000
on ! want TO show that he acquired
practically all the company's bonds and
paid for them with stock of the Brier
Till Galleries Company. which he con-
trolled, and that the Brier Hill stock
was worthless. Its exchange for the
bonds Of the Nashville Terminal made
the terminal stock worthless.
Commissioner Meunch ruled that the
bank could introduce evidence TO show
the value of the terminal stock when 1t
was pledged to the bank.
Bailey Had Charge.
Mr.. Pierce said that after Senator
Joseph W. Bailey of Texas took charge
OF the Tennessee Construction Company
and all it subsidiaries. of which the
Nashville Terminal Company was one.
he gave options on the Tennessee Cen
trail railroad to the Illinois Central and
to the Southern railways. These roads
operated the Tennessee Central jointly
until July. 1905. and then decided not to
exercise the option. The Tennessee Cen
trail then went back to the control of the
stockholders. Pierce testified that II
was at his suggestion that Senator Bailey
took charge of the properties as his rep
reSentatiVe.

BISHOP HOSS EXPLAINS
VIEWS ON TOBACCO USE

st. Louis, Sept 15.--Bishop Il. IL.
Hoss, of the Methodist Episcopal
church, South, has sent letter to
the Rev. G. II. Hawkins, presiding
elder of the st. Louis district of the
church, in which he explains his
views on the use of tobacco. The
letter was brought forth by publish
ed excerpts from an address by the
Bishop at the Missouri conference
of the CHURCH last week. in which he
was quoted as saying that no min
lister who was gentleman would
use tobacco.
The letter to the Rev. Mr.. Haw-
kins says in part:
81 did not bring up the subject
of tobacco myself. but it came be-
fore the conference in a memorial
to the approaching general confer
ence. asking IL to make the non-use
of tobacco ckndition OF entrance
into our ministry.
Personally, | am not in favor of
ouch legislation. and | took occasion
to say: ITO make the use of tobac-
co a sin is to grade down the general
conception of sin until people lose
sight of it's enormity. Smoking a
cigar is question of expediency.
Miri listers are very frequently enter
tanned in houses where tobacco is
offensive, and under such circum-
stances, no gentleman will use it,
