CHARGES FRAUD
IN EXPLOITING
JERSEY TRACT
w. Russell Root Names Newark
Co. Directors in Suit Over
Hackensack Meadows.

NEW YORK, Sept. 15.-That
charges of fraud have been made
against Wilbur C. Fisk and others
in connection with an exploitation of
the Hacg1ensack Meadows became
known yesterday when John I. Het-
trick and Francis J. Byrne, lawyers,
of 1856 Broadway, obtained from Su-
preme Court Justice Guy an order for
an examination of the defendants be-
fore trial. This examination will be
held today.
The complainant is w. Russell
Root, a bondholder of the Newark
Meadows Improvement Company.
This corporation took over the hold
ings of the New Jersey Terminal,
Dock and Improvement Company,
which had succeeded the Hackensack
Meadows Company. The concern was
organized in 1908 with an announced
capital of 100000, of which only
$1,000 was paid in.
When the meadows, comprising six
and half square miles Of waste
land, were taken over by the Newark
company, approximately $1,0o0 an
acre was paid. 1t was planned to i'm
prove the land at an expense of 81, 800
an acre and sell at a large profit.
Some land along the Passaic river
actually was sold at 100000 an acre.
Bonds Find Ready Market.
In April. 1908, 100000 first mort
gage and $1,850,0 coo debenture mort
gage bonds We're issued and found
ready market. OF the issues, 1t is
alleged, Harvey Fisk & Co. took
$850,000 and the Columbia Trust Com
pany $4,000. 1t is alleged that the
Terminal Company took over $780,
900 mortgage payable to the Passaic
Zinc Company and that in November,
1910, when the mortgage became due,
an extension to November 20, 1913,
was obtained by paying $4,000.
Mr. Root, who it is understood rep
resents many bondholders, names as
defendants besides Mr.. Fisk, Fred
erick c. Walcott, Albert A. Tilney,
William G. Lane Albert IL. Wiggin,
Charles Fl. Keep, Ross A. Mackey,
the Newark Meadows Improvement
Company and the Guaranty Trust
Company of New York.
He says that on January rs, 1911,
Harvey Fisk & Co. organized what
is known as the Intercity Land Com
pany, and this concern caused to be
conveyed to it 1872 acres of the choic-
est land on the meadows. He sets
forth that two directors of the New
ark company are directors of the In
tercity concern and that the director
ates In effect are interlocking.
Newark Co. Directors Named.
He makes the further charge that
the Guaranty Trust Company held
$2464OS in mortgages; that the lands
conveyed to the Intercity Company
were worth moro than $1,O00,0OO, and
that five of the defendants-Fislk
Tilney Lane, Wiggin and Keep-were
directors of the>Newark company and
had no right to make the dispositions
of the property. Attention is called
to the fact that the board of directors
comprises seven men, and 1T takes
four to make quorum.
Foreclosure proceedings, Mr.. Root
says, were begun in May, 1913, by the
Guaranty Trust Company, which
was also trustee of the debenture
bonds. At the sale of the property
Harry NJ. burning, an attorney or
clerk for Harvey Fisk q CO., bought
in the property for 81 ,000,0 Mr.. Root
adds.
