GOULD SELLING WABASH
Suit Shows He Has Disposed Of
Most of His Holdings.
REMAINS IN DIRECTORATE
Request of StOckholder for In
junction Against Equitable
Trust Co. Is Denied.

George j. Gould has disposed of practi-
cally all his holdings in tho Wabash
Railroad. This fact was made known
yesterday i'm the Supreme Court in the
proceeding brought by James Pollltz. a
Wabash stockholder for an injunction TO
restrain the Equitable Trust Company
from foreclosing Il s20o,ooo.cO Wabash
bond issue becausc of the non-pay1nent
of sS2l.ooo interest due for more than u
year.
Pollitz has brought several actions. In
one Of these he asked that t900CO.00 i'm
bonds issued in 1906 be declared invalid
on the ground that they were foreclosabe
bonds which were issued in exchange for
s2S.7t,c) OF non-foreclosable bonds. Tie
foreclosure suit is pending in the fed
cral court. and PoitZ said in asking for
an injunction. which Justice Davis denied
yesterday. that some of the defendants in
his suit were disposing Of their holdings
George j. Gould was examined before
trial, and il was on his testimony. said
POLITE. that he based his statement
Gould testified that before the foreclosure
suit was brought he had sold all his Wa
bash holdings Of common and preferred
stock, except such few shares as would
qualify him as director. Gould said
also that the estate Of his father. Jay
Gould. had disposed of all its Wabash
holdings. except 100000 in refunding
bonds.
Tho decision OF Justice Davis was said
I'm Wall Street to be highly satisfactory
10 flp frgIIfprr ingaracfg In, oh oot,
company and their attorneys. IL removes
the only obstacle in the path Of the fore
closure proceedings, which have been un-
der way for some time. BY reason Of
this decision these proceedings can now
be resumed and carried along as rapidly
IA the legal formallties will permit. Most
Of the testimony has already been taken
before the special master. His report will
be forthcoming In due time and will he
used as a basis for the application for
the foreclosure decree. Justice Davis S
decision was the cause of the heavy trad
ing and sharp advance in the wabash
Railroad refunding As Yesterday
Justice Davis's decision was not with
respect so tho original case of Politz
against the " Wabash Railroad. The latter
WAS brought By reason Of the financial
plan which was carried through several
years ago. by tho terms Of which refund
ins 4 per cont bonds were issued in ex-
change FOR the dcAenture ~ and "B"
bonds. This ease WAS brought In tho fed
eral court. and WAS dismissed by that
jurisdiction. but was taken up again by

rests. and has never been brought 10 trial
