COURT UPHOLDS up.
$SO,OOO,O0O MELON
Equitable Lies Application
for Injunction Denied by
Justice Greenbaum.
HOLDS PREFERRED
STOCK; HAS NO SAY
Appeal on Other Actions Pending
May Delay Distribution
Still Further.

Justice Greenbaum denied yesterday
the application of the Equitable Life AS
surance Society for an injunction to re-
strain the Union Pacific Railroad Com
pany from distributing $s0,0OO,oo0 in divl-
dends TO its common stockholders in cash
and stock of the Baltimore & OHIO Kali
road. There are other actions OF the
same kind stin pending, and it was said
Yesterday that the Equitable would APP
peal from the decision OF Justice Green
baum so that the melon cutting may be
delayed.
The Equitable holds more than 81 ,6OO,Ooo
of the preferred stock OF the Union IA
cifc. whose preferred stockholders were
not included in the resolution to dis
distribute an extra dividend OF sSoVcVoo'
which was intended only for the holders
of the s216, i35. 900 of common stock. The
petitioner for an Injunction contended
that this would be an injustice to the
holders of preferred because they would
be called on TO make up any losses
"A corporation" said Justice Green
baum. has very wide discretion IN
determining when a dividend shall be
made. There might be a difference or
opinion in a given case as TO the WIS
dom Of accommodating a large surplus
which otherwise would be applicable to
the payment of dividends but that would
not be subject TO legal interference when
the discretion is fairly exercised. If the
defendant corporation has a right TO ac-
cumulate surplus it has right to IN
vest the surplus in securities. and II the
securities appreciate in value there is no
reason why the profits arising from the
investment should not be regarded as
the profits of the business of the corpora
ton"
Justice Greenbaum pointed out that the
agreement regarding the preferred stock
reads: THE preferred stock is entitled
To no other or further share OF the
profits than dividends in each and every
year not exceeding per centum per an
mum. payable out of the net profts.
This profit said the justice is now be-
ing paid 10 the holders Of the preferred
stock. To hold now that because of the
unusually large dividend to be declared
the preferred stockholders are entitled
TO take part in the distribution would be
10 nullify the contract between the COM
pany and the two classes of stock
holders

MARRIAGE CALLED
DEAL FOR ALIMONY
Mrs. Martin Says Only Women to
Wed Soon Will Be Idiots
and Infirm.

Mans work is TO earn a living. Wom-
ans work is to rear children. Men have
dragged even women and children to their
aid and woman's work. as result, is
neglected.
Thus Mrs John Martin. who spoke at a
meeting last night of the State Anti-Suf-
frage Association at Mrs. Henry Selig-
mans, No. 90 West 56th street. summed
up the conditions responsible for the
feminist movement Woman's suffrage.
for from solving the problem, would only
aggravate II, she said
THE work OF women robs the race"
she continued, "for It lessons the vitality
of the rising generation. Moreover, the
competent women are more and more
going into business, leaving only the in
competent to marry. Soon the only wom-
en- to marry will be the infirm and idiotic.
The feminist movement is turning mar
riage into a trade for alimony.
"Our age Is a mans age. rich in power,
inventions. conquests of the air and land
and sea. II is poor in all that women
could give it-grace, JOY, beauty, art-and
suffrage, by turning women into men
pursuits. would make it more of man
age than before. AS TO women saying
that they ought 10 protect the milk sup
ply because they have children. they
might as we'll say they ought TO protect
the tobacco supply because they have
husbands, or the beer supply because they
have brothers SO long as woman sells
her labor in the open market they call it
evolution; whereas 1t is really CONNER
cialism gone mad.
Man says it's our duty to vote; hut
what is man that we should be mindful
of him. Politics is mans kingdom and he
will never relinquish it. What we want
is not votes, but homes, for women

misinformed or had overlooked. Tho
question of a deal was not brought up"
The secrecy which surrounded the do
parture for Washington OF both Wright
and Curtiss had caused many TO believe
that negotiations were being arranged
Curtiss went directly from Washington
to Hammondsport on Wednesday night
and has made no statement In regard to
the meeting. while the Wright people are
equally quiet on the subject While In
Washington, Curtss spent several hours
with Arnold Kruckman, manager OF the
World Race.
A handsome bronze trophy. which the
Aeronautical Society awarded to Orvilie
Wright on December Il, the tenth ami

to Mr. Wright yesterday.
1t was learned yesterday that the
Aeronautcal Society three weeks ago
made application to the Wright company
for a blanket license which would permit
the society TO carry on Its work at the
field this summer. Up TO the present time
the Wright company has taken no action
Two applications for licenses were made
at the Office of the Wright company yes
terday. Edwin X. Jacquith, son Of F.. +.
Jacquith, a retired Chicago banker, for
nerly connected with the house OF y. w.
Harris & Co, was the first applicant. He
asked to be allowed to build q machine to
carry his New York friends in next sum-
mer.
Alpheus F. Barnes, secretary OF the
Wright company, informed Jacquith that
he could give him no answer for two
weeks. The other applicant was the
Heinrich Aeroplane Company. OF Baldwin
Long Island Mr.. Barnes gave similar
answer in that case also.
William d. Cash. who was In Washing
ton with Mr.. Curtiss, as the representa-
tive Of Rodman Wanamaker. said that u
the transatlantic flight should prove sue
cessful Il was probable that Wanamakei
would enter his machine In the World
Race the following summer. Secretary
Rrvan. Arnold Kruckman said, has prom
ised his co-operation with the Panama
exposition management In preparing the
way for the big race, through the various
foreign countries.
