Details of the transaction which
resulted in outside stockholders IN
the Clarion River Power Com
pany, of Clarion, Pa, being
squeezed out of $908,710 when the
property of that company was

The report was submitted by
Charles Nodder, a Government
examiner, in connection with the
commission inves I'll cation Of
operations of the major utilities.
Nodder wos to testify on it later
today.
The report showed the Penn

pany, ordered the foreclosure pro-
ceedingS in order to effect the
sale of that company within the
system for $4,000. 900 less than its
claimed assets, which were SILL

The report said the Pennsyl-

summer of 1881 held demand
notes of the Clarion company for
| $8,001,173. These were for ad-
vances made by the parent COM
pany for redemption of securities,
operating expenses and conStruc-

Nodder reported:
"The trustee took possession
Of the property and sold the
same at the front steps of the
