would likely modify that expression
greatly. West avenue is, indeed, one Of
the most beautiful residential streets in
the entire suburban district
While South Norwalk was acquiring
fame as a place of strong Industrial CEN
tres and fine home places Norwalk was
forging ahead as a suburban city, with
great drawing power TO people of culture
looking for a place TO have permanent
homes In other words, its residential up
building along the best lines was and is
it's predominatine feature, although 1t
has a strong industrial centre, Of which
1t is just as proud as South Norwalk is
of its factory region.
Thus the blending Of Norwalk and
South Norwalk and adjoining districts
into one municipality OF 5000 people has
resulted in the CT cation of a suburban City
which measures up to the highest stand
ard.
The new city ought 10 take on quickly
great vigor and soon see both its residen-
tial and industrial sides developed at
very rapid rate.
There is no longer any chance for bar
rier troubles to retard the future growth
Of this new city. OF course. there really
never was any serious dispute between
the old city OF Norwalk and South Nor
walk when it came TO improving road
ways along or on the boundary lines, or
the lighting of streets, or afording proper
police protection. But il seemed likely at
the time when the question TO consolidate
or not was decided in the affirmative by
majority Of about $50 votes that such mat
tiers could not always be settled in a
friendly manner.

SUIT AGAINST j. P.
IN FEDERAL COURT
Action Brought by Minority
Stockholders of St. Joseph
& Grand Island.

OMAHA, Dec. 1S.-The case of the
protective committee of minority stock.
holders of the ST. Joseph & Grand
Island Railroad company against the
Union Pacific Railroad company to re-
strain certain improvements on por-
tion Of the former road and enforce
the payment of dividends on st. Jo-
seph & Grand Island stocks began in
the United States district court today.
The complainants charge that the
Union Pacific, which owns 70 per cent
of the voting stock OF the ST. Joseph
line, has spent an excessive amount of
the earnings of that line on improve,
ments between Marysville, Kan, and
Grand Island, Neb., with view to u.s.
ing that portion of the road as a sec
tion Of proposed new Union Pacific
main line between Kansas City and the
west.
The evidence of Ernest stenger, gen
eral manager of the ST Joseph line,
brought out that the success of the st.
Joseph road depended largely on the
business brought to it by the Union
Pacific road. He testified that the i'm
provements being made ultimately
would result in great benefit to his
road.
Witnesses were also called from the
auditing department to show the COM
parRtlVe recelpJS or the different sec
tions of the st. Joseph line and num-
ber Of depositions were placed in the
record. Recess was taken until after.
noon, when Attorney Louis Marshall Of
New York opened the argument for
the complainants- Arguments will prob
ably not be concluded until Saturday
noon.
Mr.. Marshall opened his argument
with q historical review of the affairs
of the st. Joseph and Grand Island
road, He told how in 1896 the late r..
H. Hartman, not being able to induce
the Union Pacific reorganization COM
mittce to acquire the stock of the st.
Joseph g. Grand Island road, purchased
on his own account a controlling inter
est in the stock OF that line and later
sold it to the reorganized Union Pa
cific company. He quoted from statis-
tics to show that the road earned and
paid dividends on part of it's preferred
stock until control of the common stock
was secured hv Mr.. Hartman and later
by the Union Pacific.
MT. Marshall reviewed financial re-
ports to show that the earnings of the
road had been invested by the new
owners TO the great detriment of minor
ity shareholders. He declared the earn
ings had been diverted for the improve
ment of that part Of the st. Joseph
line which would particularly benefit
the Union Pacific road, greatly to the
loss Of minority stockholders.

this regard and the influence OF these
acts, as was shown by the testimony of
many witnesses, had the effect Of lead
ing to immoral acts of number Of the
older girls and boys.
"About year ago it became appar-
ent to those in control Of the republic
that seriously immoral conditions ex-
listed within the institution. An effort
TO eradicate the evil resulted in the
arrest and conviction of several citizens
Of both sexes.
Until recently there have been
many opportunities for immortality
among the citizens at the institution.
We find that it is the custom to per-
nit the girls to do housework in houses
occupied by the boys, and it was testi-
fled that however vigilant the house
mother of that cottage may have been,
opportunities were frequent for i'm
moral conduct and were taken advan-
tagc Of. +"
Lyman Beecher Stowe, secretary of
the National Association of Junior Re-
publics, after reading the report Of the
special committee. issued this state
ment;
"Now that the Junior Republic
movement has become national, and
even to limited extent international,
an adverse report from state commit.
tee is not so serious a matter as it was
when the work had hardly extended be-
yond the confines of New York state
I wish TO say that the recommends
tions Of the special committee Of the
state board of charities could not be
carried out in full or even in large part
without abolishing the Junior republic,
which, in my opinion, is too firmly in:
trepched as the modern and successful
method of character building known to
progressive educators and penologists. ~
