Minority Demands That Di- rectors Join in Suit
 Against Selves
MORGAN ESTATE TO BE
 MADE A DEPENDANT
will Sue For Difference Be- tween Value of Pur-
 chases And Price Paid

Boston. July 13-whtpp1e. Sears & ogden, attorneys. representing min ority stockholders of the New York. New Haven & Hartford Railroad. have demanded that the directors join their clients in the suit to recover about s125, ,0oO, ,000 alleged to have been wasted by the rnanagem ent.
 The suit. which it is said, will be filed this week, is said to be directed against the estate of J. P. Morgan, William Rockefeller. Lewis Cass Led yard and others who were members of the New Haven directorate at the time that transactions that have been the subject of inquiry by the interstate. co1nrnerce con1nni ission were made. In a letter to the directors made public today. the attorneys refer to the testi- ! n1ony concerning New Haven invest Inent which proved unprofitabIe, brought out by the interstate conn rnerce commission.
 Tt is our judgment, therefore. that directors are liable for these losses which have 50 plainly resulted from their neglect of judiciary duty. On this ground the corperat lon is enti- differences between what was actually paid out for these investments and their actual values, a sum emounting to not less than SEA- oOO. .0O0. ~sss .
 Tt now seems practically conceded that all these purchases-troIleys, steamslnip lines and Boston & Maine shares alile-were In Violation of the federal anti trust act and, on that grouid. Illegal and ultra wires of the corporations. s@
 Ion this ground. in our opinion, the railroad is entitled to recover from it's directors S155, GOO. 0O0-the aggregate amount paid for the Boston & Maine shares and steamship and trolley lines.'
 Tn conclusion. the letter reads:
 ~we. therefore. in benaif of our cli- snts who are and during all the pe- riod of the transactions hereinto re- ferTed to have been, stockholders re- spectfully demand that you institute proper legal proceedings 10 enforce the liability Of directors to the cor p8Fation which we have pointed out and such other liability as may be discovered as a result of ceraful and thorough investigation of the con1panyss affab
 Notice of the proposal of the minor ity stockh olders to file such suit was given several weeks ago.. The exact amount that will be named in the proposed suit has not been made known but the letter indicates that the claim will be made that the directors are liable for $94, ,00o.
