New Haven G Hartford rail- road, against directors of the road and the cooperation, to compel them to answer charges of mRladrniniStra- ton and misuse of funds-
 The suit which is brought by the law firm of Robinson and Lauioar, of ifhis city. is somewhak similar to the Sactdon in Boston which demanded re- st1tutiou Of $s0es esOoOsO 900 of which ks1ez, 900 ,00o was alleged to have been
 ono of tho two claims made asks fThat the individual defendant5 be EconnpeIIed to account for all sums of aonsy and snares of stock mlsappl1ed and m1sappropriated and all profits
 which they received by reason of un- t1awfuI actss
 The second claim asked that the defendants q be en5oaned from further uaanagernent of the system.
 The action specifically alleges that the directors acting for the corpora tiou. acquired the transportation lines with rolling stock upon payment of such men greatly in excess of the value of the property This refers to the acquisition of the Boston & West chester reads. which figured in the HA A4EE@424AL4
 The action further demands that Judgment be rendered against the di- rectors for the amounts ascertained to be due from their alleged unlawful pracfdces These amounts accordinsx 10 the complaint, were obtained for the personal interest and profit of the directors by conspiracy. Large blocks of treasury stock and large sums of money. it is charged, had been trans Fferred to the directors. The amount lis not specified
 The action. which was served up- on the treasurer of the New Haven today, is returnable on August 18- The directors named were mem bers of the boards during the years 1904 to 1914 Inclusive.
