WOULD HOLD B. & M.
STOCK TO JULY, 1924
Trustees Ask Court to Author
iZe Extension to Prevent
Sacrifice Sale.
SEE BETTER DAYS AHEAD.
Say Reorganization Is Pro-
crossing and Receivership's
End Is in Sight.

James l.. Doherty OF Springfield,
Mass. and other trustees for Boston
and Maine Railroad stock appointed I'm
der the New Haven dissolution decree
OF October. 1914. petitioned the Fed
eral District Court yesterday to extend
the time in which they may hold the
stock The trustees ask that they be
permitted to hold until July /. 1921,
the following: 251,4s0 shares of pre-
ferred stock. 25O.254 shares of common
stock OF the Boston and Maine Rail-
road and other railroad securities. The
petition alleges:
THAT from the time of their APP
pointment to the present the financial
situation of the Boston and Maine Rail-
road has been such that it has at no
time been possible to sell this large
block of stock without an enormous
and unreasonable sacrifice. II is not
possible that the situation will mate
rally change SO as to enable the trus-
tees to make a sale on reasonable terms
between now and October l. 1919.
The other stocks in their possession
are mainly those Of railroads leased to
or operated by the Boston and Maine
Railroad, and their market value Ia af-
fected by the same conditions as AFFECT
that road.
Besides the difficult financial sltua-
lion OF the Boston and Maine Railroad
since the decree OF 1914 other conditions
have arisen which render 1t practically
impossible that fair sale OF these stocks
at this time or in the near future could
be made. Conspicuous among these arc
the market conditions arising out Of
necessary Government financing during
the war. the uncertainty as to whether
Federal control of this and other rail.
roads will be continued for any consid
cradle length of time, and general ap-
prehension as TO the effect OF an early
return to their owners under present or
unknown conditions,
I'm the opinion of your petitioners
these conditions operate with peculiar
force TO depress the market value OF
stocks Ike those OF the Boston and
Maine Railroad, which had already lost
much of the confidence of investors be-
cause of financial difficulties and be-
cause OF the fact that since August 81,
1915. II has been in the hands OF a re-
ceiver
There is reason to believe that much
will be gained in the market value OF
these stocks IL the extension asked for
is granted. The contemplated reorgani-
zation of the Boston and Maine Rail-
road, with the financial aid of the Di-
rector General Of Railroads. has pro-
crossed very materially since the last

GEORGE GOULD TELLS
OF Annals ENMITY
Opposition to Her Second Mar
riage Was Resented,
He Says.

Bad Period Fell Upon
Him.
FATHER PRAISED WORK

The anlmus of Anna. Duchess OF
Talleyrsnd, to George J. Gould has much
TO do with the discord between the six
children of the late Jay Gould which
has led to a legal effort to obtain the
removal of George. the eldest son. as
trustee OF his fathers estate This
allegation is contained in additional
emdavits filed at the County Clerk S
ONCE here by the defendant in the suit.
Anna is supporting her brother Frank
In his action for Georges deposition as a
trustee.
My sister Anna has long been IN
friendly to me-" says George in papers
now OF, file. Her state Of mlnd is ex-
planned by the following features:
In 1895 she complained OF invest
ments by Helen and myself as her guar
dians. These Investments were made in
accordance with our fathers desires to
lend aid to the Missouri Pacific system
We charged her nothing for services
she later executed full released to US
as guardians.
= She at one time, with Frank Gould
threatened suit against the executors un-
less they would forthwith distribute 10
the life tenants interest In the Interna-
me executors withheld because of GER
tain questions raised. She and Frank
forced the distribution of which the
guardian chosen by her for her chii-
dren now complains.
My opposition and that OF my sister
! Helen to Annals second marriage aroused
in her bitter feeling. She employed
counsel and caused complaint to be
4 prepared as the basis of a suit to test
the validity and application OF the
seventh paragraph OF the second codici
of our fathers will. These proceedings
ended because we finally gave our forma
( consent to her proposed remarriage.''
Mr.. Gould says that before his exami.
nation had commenced in the present suit
he understands" that Anna expressed
her purpose to array herself agains,
him. and that she and Frank refused &c
accept the guardian suggested for their
! children. Mr.. Gould says that in 1916
) when the suit was filed. there was no in
I dication that 1t would be other than a
friendly accounting to get the estates
4 operations, which have been covered BY
] yearly settlements, in permanent shape
For several years prior to the panic oil

nothing.
II stood between the roads and tn,
estate, bearing a large personal risk,
continues the affidavit. 1T often asked
my brothers and Helen to assist me II

and DIR. Butler Tell of
COlOnel's Worth.

Mementos-or perhaps It we're bet
ter to say relics-of the muititudinous
activities OF Theodore Roosevelt, orig
mails of every worthwhile painting and
bust Of the exPresident, a collection Of
photographs illustrating some of the
most eventful periods OF his crowded
life and a collection of the letters
which he receivd from Kings and
Queens and folk of lesser fame, have
been assembled in the Avery Library
Of Columbia University and will be open
to the public from 10 A. VI. to 10 Z. NJ
to-day and every day until June I.
The collection. which has been sathr
cred by the trustees OF the university
to mark the establishment OF Columbia
House AS centre for education in citl-
zenship, was formally opened last night.

Commissioner and afterward, and Prof.

White House Letters on View.
Foremost in interest are some fifty
letters which Mr. Roosevelt received dur
ing his two terms in the White House
and few OF his own letters, notably
several letters to his boys, illustrated
with pen and ink sketches, and couc he'd
in the simple language OF boyhood, a
striking contrast with the messages
from European and Asiatic rulers which
occupy an adjoining case.
Among the latter are two autograph
letters from the late King Edward VII.
and another from Queen Elizabeth OF
Rumanla. written on the royal type
writer with numerous plumbers in spac-
ing and capitalization and signed In lead
pencil above A postscript written with
the same medium. The letter is dated
Sinaia. October II. 1906
There are two letters from the Kaiser
too. done in beautiful penmanship on
most imperial looking stationery and
signed William r. /. In letters nearly
an inch high with a flourish beneath
The first is dated at Corfu, May /

sport.
There is a letter from King George
too, and several OF the informal notet
which the President and John Hay, ther
Secretary OF State, were accustomed L
exchange on all sorts Of matters from
arrangements for dinners to the recep
ton Of foreign ambassadors and othe
! matters of state. Several are splendid

Then there is a note from Richard
Harding Davis, written from Lady
smith the day after the relief. in which
he informs the Colonel that 1t was a
member OF the old Rough Riders who
was the first TO enter the town after
the siege. There also Is a note from
John Burroughs.
Among the sculptures Is a portrait
bust by James L. Fraser. and the eques-

of the. Rough Riders by MaoMonnies
and by James Kelley. Beside them Is

members OF the famous reiiment when
he relnquished his command. Upon the
hide of zebra shot by the Colonel
stands Proctors cougar, a bronze pre-
scented to the President by the members
of his tennis cabinet.
There are two splendid etchings. one
by Hendrix Lund and the other by
Jacques Reich, and several portraits.
Sargeant's portrait OF the ex-President Is

days
Groups of photographs illustrating va
rious phases Of Roosevet's life, his trips
