FRAUD CHARGE TO BE HEARD.
Court Will Listen to Minority Stock
holders of B. & M.

Boston, Nov. THE United State
district court will hear charges of fraut
and breach of faith on the part of thu
directors of the Boston & Maine rail
road, brought by minority stakeholder
in connection with their protest against
the roads receivership.
Judge Morton yesterday announced
that the hearing, which will take tn,
| form of a trial with witnesses and eyi
dence to be produced by both sides, viii
be held here December ).
The case came up yesterday on the
question of making permanent the pres.
ent temporary receivership OF the road
Decision on this point will be deferred
pending determination of the minority's
charges.
When asked by the court whether the
minority stockholders would be obliged
to seek in the corporations books, proof
of their charges, Attorney Conrad w
Croker stated that evidence sufficient to
sustain their allegation was already at
hand, but that other instances OF fraud
might be developed by further investi-
CATION.
tbuHseI lbl the lb9ntoi "a 6ldiiit
agement contended III addressing the
court that if the majority stockholders
should be found to be disqualified from
representing the corporation, third
party should be appointed to act as the
roads representative, as the minority
stockholders were not entitled to do so.
The minority stockholders counsel, in
turn, set up the claim that. should the
majority interests be disqualified, the
right OF representation would revert to
the minority disqualification of the
majority control would be followed by
an attempt to GUST the present manage
ment, Attorney Croker announced.
In their several petitions in tho case,
the minority interests have contended
that the roads directors, through their
assent to the receivership, acted in a
manner equivalent to defra udino the mi
nority stockholders and that it was a
breach of trust The road, according to
the minority assertions, was solvent
when turned over to the receiver, ana
could have paid much of its indebtedness
and obtained credit for the balance.

Mr.. Heard urged the question Of mar

complain Of unstable prices and abb

written proposal from Germany de-
signed to bring about a settlement Of
the controversy over the sinking of
the liner Lusitanta. 1t was submitted
thru Ambassador Won Bernstorff.

1t is understood that in the latest
proposal Germany has agreed to elm
mate from the text Of the agreement
any mention of the warning issued by
the German embassy the day the Lu-
sitania sailed and has left out her
proposed general reservation of ad-
mission of wrong doing on the part of
her submarine commander These
two points, it Is understood, were con-
objected to by President Wilson.

the torpedoing of the Lusitania was an
act Of reprisal for the British blockade
of the German coast. Regret is eX-
