AND AN ADMIRAL.
Chief Justice knowlton and Admiral
BowIes his Selection.

Boston.-Former Chief Justice
Knowlton of the Massachusetts Su-
preme Judicial Court and Admiral
Francis T. Bowles of the Fore River
Shipbuilding Company, are Governor
Foss's appointments for the New Eng
land railroad conference.
The governor believes that Mr..
Justice Knowlton is exceptionally
qualified to render in this connection
a most important service to the peo-
pie of the Commonwealth and that his
judicial knowledge and experience
will greatly strengthen the proceed
ings of the conference.
Admiral Bowles has been chosen
as Justice Knowlton's colleague in
the conference because of his wide
experience with the manufacturing
interests of the Commonwealth and
his knowledge of the relations which
should exist between these industries
and our transportation facilities.
Admiral Bowles's knowledge of the
conditions in both land and water
transportation is felt by the governor
to adapt the admiral especially for
the work of the conference.
The governor has also asked the
Railroad Commission of Massachu-
sets to give its earnest cooperation

GRAND TRUNK
ASKS INJUNCTION
Files Bill in Equity in Superior
Court.
SOUTHERN N. E. RAILWAY
To Test Legality of incorporation
of Latter Company. - New
Hampshire Men Sign Arti-
cles of Agreement.

Concord, n. H.-The Grand Trunk
Railway Company of Canada has filed
in the superior court in this city, a
bill in equity to test the legality of
the Incorporation of the Southern
New England Railway Company. The
bill quotes the articles of incorpora-
ton and says that what purports to
DE the signature of the Grand Trunk
Railway Company of Canada by Chas.
Hays, president, is not the legal and
binding signature of the company, but
was his unauthorized act, and that it
was beyond the power of the rail
way company to bind itself to the pur-
chase of the shares of the capital
stock of the alleged railroad.
The bill is aimed particularly at
the proposed line from White River
Junction, Vt, to Boston, according to
John S. Murdoch of Providence, vice
president of the Southern New Eng
land railway, upon which work has
been stopped.
The complainants ask the court
that the Southern New England rail
road, its officers and agents and the
incorporators be enjoined from as
sorting or prosecuting at law or in
equity, any claim or right of action
against them, to enforce the collection
of the assessment levied, and that
the defendants be enjoined fom TAX
ing any further action involving the
collection from any of the defendants
of any money for any purpose what
ever and from taking any action for
the purpose of establishing the cor
poration as a permanent railroad cor
poration, and that the subscription as
levied against the Grand Trunk Rail-
way Company and the other COM
plainants be declared null and void.
The bill also states that by vote of
the directors on Jan. 80, 1913, an as
sessment of 81 per share was levied
ard providing for its collection from
delinquents not later than Feb. Is.
The compliments ask an INDUCTION
from the court against enforcing the
collection of the assessment and a
hearing was had Saturday afternoon.
Judge Mitchell denied the applica-
ton Of the complainants for tenn
porary injunction on the ground that
the position of the Grand Trunk
would be available as a defence in
any suit brought under the assess
ment. If not that the court of equity
would suspend further proceedings
pending determination of the equip
table rights of the Grand Trunk.

AWARDED LARGE VERDICT
Cape Cod Men to Be Paid Claims
Amounting to $48, 1901.

Chatham, Mass.-After several
weeks of litigation and tedious wait
ing, the Cape Cod oyster fishermen
have won their claims against the
Boston Cape Cod and New York Canal
Company, Awards amounting to $4S,-
1SO.Sl were given owners of oyster
beds by the Commissioner of Fisher
les and Game, for damages to oysters
resulting from the construction of the
canal.
These damages, while unique, are
similar to those awarded private own
ers when property is taken for the
construction of a railway. The deci-
sion by the commissioners upholds
the contention of Professor James L.
Kellogg of the department of biology
at Williams College, that oysters not
directly in the line of the canal we're
damaged by its construction.
