TRIO To FACE
JURY IN %
CAPITAL
CRIMES
Bandits viii Be Brought
Into Court Early in
December.

Swift justice will be meted ont to
San Antonio's BLACK Terrors." The
trio of negroes, held responsible for
the reign of terror on the ST. Hedwig
road which cost the lives of at least
two men and included attacks on
number of women. will face trial in
Thirty District Court Deem
Der II.
Tentative agreement to bring the
negroes to trial on that date has been
reached between Judge William s.
Anderson and District Attorney c.
NJ. Chambers, it was learned Thurs
day. The docket will have been cleared
sufficiently by that time to permit
trial of these cases. it was stated.
FACE SIS INDICTMENTS.
The three BLACK Terrors" face IS
indictments. each of which could draw
the death penalty in the event of con.
viction. Fifteen of these indictments
were returned Tuesday, fifteen more
Wednesday morning and % were re-
ported Wednesday afternoon just be-
fore the grand jury recessed for the
Thanksgiving holiday.
Even with the more than half
hundred capital indictments. it was
stated, the Thirty-seventh grand jury
has not completed its investigation
into the activities Of the BLACK Ter
rors." which extended over months
and created n veritable reign of terror
along the isolated sections Of the ST.
Hedwig road. The inquisitorial body,
when it resumes. it is understood, will
take up additional cases on which in
vestigators of the district attorneys
office and deputy sheriffs are now
working.
TWO MURDER CHARGES.
Two murder charges are included in
the 80 indictments returned. These
charge the trio with the Staying OF
Franklin r. Usry and II, w. Reichelt,
both shot down when attempts were
made to hold them up on the st. He'd
wig road. The gun with which Usry
was shot has been recovered.
In the Reichelt Staying a woman,
wounded at the time, has positively
identified two of the men as the ban
dts who held them up and shot Rel
chelt. Part OF the loot taken at the
time has been recovered.
At least one of the 'terrors" has
confessed to attacks upon women,
staged after they had been robbed.
As the days go on officers are conf
dent the negroes will be linked with
still other crimes.
IDENTIFY LOOT.
A large amount of the loot taken hy
them, has been Identified by the own

The Van Sweringens raised $52o,oVv
cash for their original payment ana
pledged their real estate holdings with
various business Ineg and institutions
In. Cleveland for the balance OF the
$1,000, 900.
IN has been the subject OF some
pubic comment" Oris Van Swerin-
gen testified before the Interstate
Commerce Commission, that when
buying the railroad we did not have
sS, 500 900 or anything like that
amount. and therefore we must have
represented some one else. The IA
vortte suggestion was that the some
one else was the New York Central
Railroad Co., and that they had not
really sold the property to us at all,
but had turned 1t over TO us and that
we were the little brother so to
speak, of that railroad. The comment
was that the New York Central was
obliged to sell the property, and, fear
ing it's competition IL sold and de-
veloped, had adopted this subterfuge
method of continuing in the control
of the property.
Our relations with the New York
Central people have always been
pleasant We are probably better
known to them because of this and
later transactions than we are to some
other railroads who are also our com
petitors. but hope 1t Is not necessary
for US to quarrel with them to estab-
lish that this little brother idea Is
unfounded in fact"
The statement that the New York
Central was Obliged to sell the prop
erty" refers to political agitation Of
that time against parallel railroads
Evening star., 1925-09-02

The well informed and apparently sin.
cere authorities on railroad securities
reach completely opposed conclusions.
The Van SweringenS emphasize that
the G. & o. minority, if they feel the
ratio of exchange is unfair, can re-
ceive by the original terms the fair
value of their stock in cash as de-
termined by an impartial appraisal or
by the courts, or they can keep their
stock and receive their share of the
new company's rental payments.
The difficulties of group OF minority
stockholders in making a trade for
their holdings are perhaps not a press
Ing national problem. but the remain
ing objections raised by the dissenting
minority are of the widest public
concern.
The proposed Nickel Plate system
and the New York Central more or
less closely parallel each other from
New York and Chicago. Uniication,
as conceived by Congress, Was in
tended to preserve competition while
permitting mergers. Any suspicion
that genuine rivalry would not exist
between the New York Central and
the proposed Van Sweringen system
would probably cause the Interstate
Commerce Commission to deny the
present application.
Will Control 5000 Miles.
When, and IT, the Nickel Plate
merger is completed the Van Swer-
ingens viii be in absolute control OF
5000 miles of railroad. Upon them
Will depend its financial future.
Fifteen years ago. when they We're
turning 80, the Van Sweringens, al
ready In control OF the Shaker
Heights property, were endeavoring
to provide 1t with the rapid transit
facilities which We're later to make
1t so immensely valuable. BY a char
acteristically brilliant stroke. they had
acquired a neglected gully, Kingsbury
Run. extending from the Cleveland
Public Square In the direction OF their
holdings, upon which they realized
they could construct u no-grade-cross-
ing. highspeed trolley line to bring
Shaker Heights within Is minutes of
the square. This they had under
taken to do.
The same jealousy among the three
great eastern railroads which has
prevented consolidation in this district
was at that time depriving Cleveland
OF an adequate railroad station. The
Evening star., 1925-09-02

Van Sweringens conceived the plan Of
persuadlng one Of the roads to share
their private right of way and help
them build u joint stub terminal on
the public square. Oris recently told
on the witness stand a doleful sto2y
OF how he and his brother In 1909
sat out long hours In the anteroom
Of the general offices OF the Baltimore
and Ohio. in Baltimore. and had their
journey for their pains.
Meet Alfred III. Smith.
This was the situation when, three
was hurrying for a train, but, at
Sweringen boys first met the late
Alfred H. Smith of the New York
Central. His family owned a 400
acre farm on the edge of Shaker
Heights which they wished to buy.
They found out when he was to, lie
in town and went to see him. He
was hurrying for a train. but, at
tlacted by the boys, he stopped TO in
quire sympathetically about their
hopes.
They hired an autolpobile. whirled
him out TO inspect their private right
of way, and rushed him back to his
train. He never lost sight of them
after that, and some time in their
subsequent meetings the idea of the
Cleveland Union Terminal, the sub
ject of so many acrimonious discus
slors In the present hearing, was born.
In 1915 Smith sold the two boys the
Nickel Plate Railroad The Nickel
Plate, the shortest line between Buff
falo and Chicago. is a single-track
road built by United States Senator
Calvin s. Brice of Ohio with the in
t.ntion, his neighbors said, of selling
II 20 Cornelius Vanderbilt of the Cen
tIal, the tracks of which 1t mostly
parallels. for a fancy price. The New
York Central bought and it remained
an orphan child OF that road.
Price Was $500, 900.

gems were $500, ,0OO-$2, ,600, 900 cash

| mon.
Now you have been receiving regu-
larly 81 a share on your G.. & o.
stock as a dividend, or $A0o income.
The Van Sweringens promise to pay
6 per cent on the new stock, both
common and preferred. Your income
, by the consolidation will consequently
| be jumped to $500, an increase of
$3.50. Your neighbor has not received
any dividends on his Erie common.
and there has seemed no immediate
prospect of its receiving any. His
income is now jumped fgom nothing
to $240.
Earnings Get Better.
But, the c. &c O. minority say, our
railroad for the last two years has
been making handsome profits. Ac-
cordtng to o. p, Van SWeringen's own
statement. which took into account
bond conversion, the earnings for the
year 1928 on the outstanding common
stock were between SIS aid S14 per
share" onehalf of which. by a con
servative law of finance. was avail
able for dividends. In 1924 and the
first six months of 1925 earnings have
been even better. Our income would
have increased anyway, even without
your consolidation. And by your teS-
timony the Erie could not begin TO
pay dividends on its preferred stock
earlier than four or five years from
this date" let alone on the common.
But, return the spokesmen for the
Van Sweringens, the Chesapeake and
Ohio is almost exclusively a carrier
of non union soft coal. Because OF the
fight now In progress between the
union miners and the operators over
the Jacksonville agreement in Illinois,
Indiana and Ohio. its present income
is greatly inflated. Your argument
attempts to capitalize u temporary
condition. When the union coal fields
begin producing again, where will
your handsome earnings be? The
Erie is great trunk line with diversi-
fled traffic.
The minority answers that sub
stantiai portion of the Eries income
is derived from It's anthracite proper
ties-by Van Sweringen's own state
ment $5.000.00 Loow at the anthra-
cite situation.
Authorities Can't Agree
This cannot hope to present a com
plete or just picture. For instance,
the Erie has a very broad stock foun-
dation, and needs a greater proper
tional increase in net earnings be-
c. & o. does. Nor is even a major
part of the minority's protest and the
Van Sweringens' answer based upon
comparison with the Erie. The rami-
flcations of~the question are endless.

ARTICLE ".

The opposition of the Chesa peake
and Ohio minority to the Van Swer-
'nSen consolidation began with its re-
fusal t. accept the terms offered for
exchange OF stock, fortified by per-
sonal pique at the manner in which
negotiations were carried on. AS the
bearing has progressed this opposi
ton has grown, until it now appears
as righteous wrath against the whole
'dea Of a merger.
Col. Anderson. counsel for the mi
nority. has indicated two additional
reasons against this consolidation. He
undoubtedly will advance them III his
closing argument before the Inter
state Commerce Commission. He has
tried TO bring out that the Van Swer-
ingens are not proper men to be given
this vast railroad system. lie has
questioned them on their financial his
tory. their relationship 10 the late a.
II. Smith, the New York Central and
the house OF Morgan, and on their
railroading experience, all three dlf-
terent phases, In general, of the same
set OF facts.
Finally he insists there is no flnan-
CiaI or physical reason IN the puDilC
interest to include the Chesapeake
and Ohio in the proposed Nickel Plate
system.
Argued Before /. G. c.
These criticisms and the Van Swer
lngens' replies have been threshed out
now for weeks before the Interstate
Commerce Commission and in the
newspapers. To some extent they
have been distorted by the pressure of
half-developed evidence, claims and
counterfeit inns.
The question of the ratio of eX-
change OF the Chesapeake and Ohio
stock for the securities of the pro-
posed system is extremely complicated
and, in the final analysis, partly a
matter OF financial Judgment. Any
brief statement is likely to be mis-
leading.
For a quick picture, you hold 100
shares of Chesapeake and Ohio COM
mon. Your neighbor owns 100 shares
of Erie common. Under the terms OF
the leases you will receive 55 shares
OF preferred stock in the proposed
Nickel Plate, and 55 shares of COM
mon. Your neighbor. for his Erie,
