OVER
BOND ISSUE OF
THE LACKAWANNA
Morris & Essex Stockholders
See in 1t an Effort to Block
Chancery Suit.


TRENTON, Aug lO.The applica-
tion Of the Lacka wanna railroad 10
issue 81. 100000 Of bonds of the Morris
and Essex Railroad Company was
contested at hearing before the
Board of Public Utility Commission
ers today. John O, II. Pitney, for the
Morris and Essex, alleged that the
application Of the Lackawanna was
an attempt on the part of that road
to forestall the decision of the Court
OF Chancery in the suit brought by
the Norris and Essex against the
Iackawanna,
This suit Is to recover money al
legged to be due the stockholders of
the Morris and Essex and Is pending
final hearing In the court. MIR. Pit
ney insisted that the Utility Board
should postpone any action in the
bond issue application until the
Court Of Chancery passes upon the
pending action.
J. l.. Seger, for the Lackawanna
railroad, asked the board to coun-
tenance the issue at this time. Al
though the IIackawanna Is very rich,
he said ii is necessary at times for
the railroad to borrow money, and
the bond issue is needed at this time.
He denied that the application would
embarrass the Utility Board because
of the pending chancery suit. That
suit, he said, was entirely separate
from the present application. because
the action in the Court of Chancery
is a fight among the stockholders of
the two railroads, He declared Mr.,
Pitney's request that action be post
poned would mean the holding up
of the bond issue fOr years.
Commissioner Ralph e. Donges,
who heard the application. asked
counsel to submit further testimony
and said that the question of whether
the application would esnbarrass the
Utility Board in view of the chancery
suit would be considered by the
utility commissioners in conference
before the application to approve the
bond issue would he decided by the
board.

in Fed Circuit

Popular prices. which have been
tried here with so much success, will
go into effect in all Federal League
cities. This much has practically
been decided OH. Announcement was
made today that the reduced rates OF
admission, ten, twenty-five and fifty
cents. would go into effect tomorrow
at Brooklyn. From the West came
stories that the st. Louis and Chicago
clubs had also agreed to let the home
fans in for the lower rates of admis-
sion.
Baltimore and Buffalo, in the east
ern section of the circuit. have not
been heard from. and Kansas City
has not kicked in as yet, but 1t is
quite probable that these cities will
be heard from very shortly. While no
official confirmation has been received
II is believed that the league has de-
cided to adopt the new scaie-for the
betterment of baseball.
