lsine Two s.Iaieaso Bus
Companies Wa Noi Kept

Theodore P. Shonts, president OF the
Peterborough RAPID Transit Company
IS named as defendant IN two suits
brought in the Supreme Court, Brook
Ign, by Roland. R. Conklin. a railway
promoter, well known here and IN Chi
cago, to recover 81 COO 600 damages.
Motion for Judgment on tie plead
irgs in the suits was made by De
Lancey Nicoll, counsel for the de-
PENDANT, before justice Benedict yes
to-day.
Mr.. Conklin's complaint states that
ne sustained loss Of $1,000 900 be-
cause Mr.. Shonts violated an agree
ment to purchase 55 per cent OF the
plaintiffs stock in the Chicago Motor
Bus Company and the New York y otoI
BUS Company as means Of doing away
with rivalry between these two com
panies and transportation organza-
tons in the two cities in which Mr.
Shonts was interested.
Two Competing Lines
Mr.. Conklin says he owned ali the
stock in the New York Motor Bus Com
pany which was seeking franchises to
operate in Manhattan, and had cquita-
Bile ownership in the Chicago Motor
Bus Company and the American Motor
Bus Company, another Illinois corpora
ton.
In 1917 according to the complaint,
the Chicago Bus Company was operat-
ing only in the northern section of that
city, but was planning to branch out
into the southern part Of Chicago
When Mr.. Shcnts, who had an interest
in the Chicago Stage Company, a rival
organization, forestalled the PLAINTIFF q
application for q franchise by making
Il similar application
Competition in the matter OF fran
chises was repeated here between the
Fifth Avenue Motor Bus Company and
the company in which Mr.. Conklin was
interested before TIE Board Of EST
mate.
These rival organizations constantly
opposed each other in the battle for
franchises, it is alleged. The hostilities.
Mr.. Conklin contends, were in the face
Of an oral agreement, made on Movem-
Der ", 1917, by which the rivals were
to become jointly Interested in each
other, and Mr.. Shonts was to ACQUIRE
Cd per cent OF the stock OF the com
panies in which Mr.. Conkl;n was inter
ested.
Reply of Mr.. Skonts
Mr.. Conklin's complaint was sub
mitted through Arthur Carter Hume,
ms counsel. Delaney Nicoll, attorney
tor Mr.. Shonts, appeared before Justice
Benedict yesterday and argued thar the
SUIT was worthless. Nicoll denied that
Nr. ShontS had entered into any such
agreement

ine Killer

ductlon DGen enlisted by
the government for the build
ing of d e of fast, powerful
and ef1IcIen ubmarine killers
which are expected to prove an
even CREATE terror to the Ger
man "sea pests" than the
American destroyers have
been. If the hopes Of the naval
authorities of the United States
Great Britain and France are
realized, the U-boats will be
destroyed in large numbers,
and the sinkings of merchants
ships reduced in proportion.
The new submarine killer is
a novel type Of war craft,
about 200 feet long, in size be-
tween the submarine chaser
and the destroyer. Sturdy in
construction, braced to wealth
er any sea and to stand the
strain Of the highest powered
engines and guns Of good cali
Der, these boats are to be turn
ed loose in the submarine zone
to rid the waters of the under
sea raiders. The design was
adopted following a confer
ence of naval authorities of
England, France and the Uni
ted States, who had just re-
turned from the restricted
zone and had first-hand knoWl-
edge of the submarine opera
and the best methods for
counteracting them. 1t had
been found that the chasers,
averaging about 100 feet in
length, were not sufficiently
seaWorthy and had too little
radius Of action, while destroy
ers required too long to build.
The opinion of the experts was
that a boat fitting in between
these two types, built to with
stand any weather, with plenty
of speed, with guns large en-
ough to cope with a subma-
guns, and, what is most
important of all, a vessel that
be turned out speedily,
was the requirement Of the sit
uation. Out Of this consensus
of opinion the submarine killer
was evolved.
Then came the question of
production. Mr.. Ford was ask
ed if he could turn them out
in large numbers, with parts
standardized and interchange
He said he could and
would. He offered to devote
his entire manufacturing plant
to their production, furnishing
them to the government at ex-
actly what they cost to pro-
promised that within six
months he would have a fleet
Of them in commission.
For obvious reasons details
of construction are withheld by
the Navy Department but Sec
rotary Daniels states that con-
tracts for several scores" OF
them have been placed and
that they will be equipped
with the latest devices for COM
batting submarines. After
of experimentation and
investigation of all sorts Of de-
officials of the navy have.
reached the conclusion thatthe
practical way of dealing
with submarines is to kill them
off. Acting upon this theory, a
large fleet Of American de-
has been operating in
European waters with excel
lent results. It is current report
that a German submarine COM
mander, upon sighting an
American destroyer, instantly
