ID BID FOR RAILROAD
(. M. and St. p. PrOteStOrS
 Plan Action

Chicago. Aug. A LP>-As a last re- sort, protesting bondholders in the ireceivership proceedings of the Chi cago, Milwaukee and St. Paul rail- road are prepared to make a cash bid for the road, If and when it goes under the hammer. Edwin c. Jame- son Of the bondholders' defense committee, declares in brief filed today before Federal Judge James H. Wilkerson who is to set the date of sale.
 | Not only are the bondholders pre- ! pared to enter the field in bidding
 against Kuhn, Loeb & Go. and the National City Co.,. majority bond holders, but the protesting group of ibondholders representing more than S.000.000 of refunding bonds, sug- gested that an "upset' or minimum price totaling S250,00O.oOO be fixed
 If the road is put up for sale.
 Today's brief and affidavits of pro- testing bondholders are in opposition to the motion of the trustees of the road for an early sale of the St.
 Paul, and the proposal to buy the road outright, as a .ast resort to pro- tect bondholders was panied by a request that the sale be post poned for @ reasonable time to al- i low the marshaling of forces.
 If the consideration of the plan
 of reorganization is to be deferred until after the sale, MT. Jameson asked that an upset price be set that will at least yield fair sum to the dissenting bondholders for their
 bonds. He suggested an upset price of $S0,00u.00O for the Puget Sound
 extension; s15O,O0O.OOo for the lines
 east. and S2O,OO0,OOo for the un-
 pledged assets of S25o,0oo,000 in all.

Defense Is Bitter
The defense has bitterly protested
against the way Simpson has Of
calling witnesses in helter-skelter
fashion. instead of presenting the
States case in its chronological
order. These tactics have bewild-
cred the defense at times.
Time and again the defense, led
by the portly, florid.faced Robert
II. McCarter, has appealed to the
court to put stop to the mystify-
ing order, or lack of order" in
which the story of the murder of
the Rev Edward w. Hall and Mrs.
Eleanor Mills in a "lovers lane,
four years ago, is being given to
the jury.
They also protest against the
fiery little prosecutors methods of
shutting off one witness before he
is done and taking up the story
of another. later recalling the first
witness.
COnfuses the Defense
Thus Simpson confuses the de-
tense and hides until the last mo-
ment the vital key to the States
case.
