NEW WORK, Feb. IA petition in
equity asking for the appointment
OF a limited receiver for the New
York, New Haven and Hartford Rail-
road Company. on the ground that
much Of "S2O4, 100000 spent outside
OF its sphere" had been wasted, and
that the so-called Adams suit started
iE 1916 70 recover part OF that sum
on behalf OF certain stockholders had
been futile" was filed in the United
states district court here yesterday
ty counsel for Harold Norris and
others. The plaintiffs are members Of
a protective committee representing
1,T3O stockholders holding 5l,959
shares" Federal Judge Knox fixed
February 81 as the date for the hear
ing.
The petition charged that the &C
tion brought by Edwin Adams and
other stockholders on August %, 1916,
purposed TO have the new board Of
directors that succeeded William
Rockefeller, Charles NJ. Pratt and
Lewis Cass Ledyard and the estates
of J. Pierpont Morgan and Hamilton

ferred to as "conspiratOrs," compel
y
said to have been wasted" in the
endeavor of the foregoing men to mo-
nopOlize the steam railroads, trolley
lines and steamship companies Of
New England.
This suit failed, it was said, partly
because it had not been directed at
all of the alleged ''conspirators''-all
former directors of the New Haven
dating from 1890 to 19I4-and who
included, besides the men previously
named, George Maculloch Miller,
Charles F. Brooker, Charles S. Mel
len. Robert w. Taft, Edward D. Rob-
bins, James S. Elton, James S. Hem
ingway, A Heaton Robertson, Fred
erick p Brewer. Henry K McHarg
and John L. Billiard.
The charges in the present action
correspond in a general way to those
in the Adams suit. numerous unlaw-
rul acts being alleged, including the
payment of extravagant prices for
PROPERTIES acquired. spending of
enormous sums to purchase newspa-
pers, employing lobbyists and corrupt
legislators, and paying Of moneys to
bankers under the pretext that they
were commissions.
The petition recites the growth OF
the roads capital stock in ten years
from S93,0OO.OOO to S4T7 ,OOO, 900 and
alleges that by June 80, 1916, it had |
been wasted to the extent OF $126.0OO,- |
600 book value and over $4,000, 900 l
at par valuation.

TEDDY TAYLOR
BUYS HOTEL
IN SEATTLE

Teddy" Taylor, the popular chief
steward on the steamship Alaska, has
decided to desert his old occupation
and embark in the hotel business in
Seattle. Mr.. Taylor has been on the
Alaska run for the past nineteen years,
during which time he has made host
of friends in the Northland, all of
whom will wish him much success in
mis- latest business venture His pres
ent trip will be his last voyage to
Alaska as a steamship employee, and
when his ship returns to Seattle he
viii permanently locate on land, where
he will continue to welcome the boys
from the North"
The following deserved tribute is
paid to Mr. Taylor in a recent issue
of the Post-Intelligencer:
'"This is to be Teddy Taylor's last
voyage to Alaska probably in many
years. When he came into port on
the steamship Alaska the news quickly
spread that he had decided to give up
his sea career and locate in the mas
ter's cabin of big land hotel.
''In connection with J. A. Farnham,
formerly of the st. Charles and other
hotels in Seattle, Teddy has pur-
chased the lease, good will, furniture
and equipment Of the Hotel Atwood,
new and thoroughly modern build
ing with 125 rooms, located on First
avenue and Pine street, in Seattle,
the deal being consummated on July
IS. The popular chief steward is now
bidding goodbye to his friends
throughout the North, and immedi-
ately upon his return to Seattle will
take up the active management of
the hotel jointly with Mr. Farnham.
Edward Taylor, which is his real
name, is one of the best-known sea-
faring men on the Pacific coast. He
came to the coast in 1889, first going
with the Pacific Coast Steamship
Company and later with the Alaska
Commercial Company, and was with
the last-named corporation, when he
was chief steward of the steamship
Portland, remaining with this ship for
ten years. She was wrecked at Spire
island, near Ketchikan, and the wreck
was taken over by the Alaska Coast
Company. Afterward she was ashore
