IS TRUST VIOLATOR Senater Pepper Charges Sale of Lehigh Stock by R. R. Breaks Sherman Law ASKS ORDER FOR NEW BIDS Central, however, denied that the Itejneldg bid was the loner, Inasmuch as It carried a prevision for the pay ment of the Interest en the 80 per cent of the purchase price, which was te be made In deferred payments. He nrgued that even If It were the lower, the ltllrend Company In the Interest of Its stockholders had a perfect right te sell Its stock te a syndicate which was friendly and efficient, whose personnel wai closely related te its own and whose ownership would be a virtual as surance that the coal business, some live million tens yearly, would be carried ever the Jersey Central. The Court then nked who was behind the Starrs ether than the Franklin Se curities Company. "Ne one.'' replied Senater Pepper, "although wc have n gentlemen's agree ment with the Lehigh Ceal and Navi gation Company te give them the first opportunity of purchasing the stock from us should we decide te get out of the operation of the coal company." The suggestion of fraud wai brought Inte the case when Sennter Pepper charged that Reynolds had based his bid en a balance sheet of October 111, 1021, which hnd hen given Mm by the Jersey Central, while nil the ether com petitors had n balance sheet of July HI, 1tl!l , as the latest financial statement of the company. "Well, Mr. Pepper," said Judge HulTingten. "you weulnd t say that JOU7 It Senater Pepper nppeared In the United States District Court in this elty yesterday and declared that the sale of certain stock of the Lehigh and TVilkcs-Perre Ceal Cempanv te a syn dicate was In violation of the Anti Trust Act. He sa'd: "If this court upholds the sale of the steik of the Lehigh and Wllkes-Ilarre Ceal Company, formerly held by the Central Rnl'rnm! of New Jersev. te the Reynolds Syndicate, which Is headed bv a man who wn, until the lsuance of the court order, n stockholder In both the railroad and coal company, and whose bid was net as high ns that of i the Franklin SeeutltliM tYinpnn el Philadelphia, then I say the Readmit dissolution ns ordered tinder the Sher man act Is net n dissolution nt nil but a traesty, for the same situation new exists after the sale as existed before " The Scn.iter was arguing a petition en behalf of Isaac and Mary T. W. Starr, of Laverock, Montgomery Coun ty, shareholders in the Jersey Central, who asked the Court te set aside the t-ale and direct a re-nle te the highest bidder the Franklin Securities Com pany. Judges lludlngten. Davis and Thomp son heard the nrgument. In June. 11121. the same court ordered the Central ' Railroad of New Jersey te dispose of nil the capital stock of the Lehigh and Wllkcs-Hnire Ceal Compan, which It i then owned, te persons or torperutions J net Its own stockholders or stockholders in either the Reading Company, the , railway company or the ce.il com- I panv.

DIES IN HOSPITAL NEAR HIS SON WITHOUT KNOWING IT Bey and Father Pan Away In Ward at Wet Chester West Chester, July 0. Milten L. Pyle, forty-one cars old. of Merstcln, filed yesterday in the Chester County Hospital here following n recent oper ation for stomach trouble unaware that his son, Walter I. Pyle, sixteen, had died In the same ward, within two cots of the one en which he lay, after being fatally Injured by an automobile near Frazer. He was net told of the accident. The funeral scrvlcei for father and son were conducted In the family home last even ing. The bodies will be taken te Little Rrltaln, Lancaster County, for Inter ment today. The elder Pyle was a foreman nt Villa Maria Convent, near Fratcr. He leaves his wife and six children, all of the latter under twelve years old. Te Improve Playground Mayer Moere has signed n contract with Heward Geerge for $1227, for Improvements nt the playground nt Tenth nnd Lembard streets, for which many objectionable buildings were re moved Inst year. Swings, traveling rings, giant strides and ether features are te be installed In the playground nt once. Wmm constituted n fraud would hardly seems conceivable." "Probable Is the word." replied the Senater; "If the courts would leek mere te the probable and less te the I'enceivnhle there would net be se many of these dissolution proceedings going up In smoke. "The point is this: The fact that Re nebis Is friendly te the Jersey Cen tral menns nothing. Rut taken with the fact that he was awnrded the bid ever another firm, just as responsible nnd whose bid named a higher sum, it carricx u (ertnln significance. It means that the sjndinitc which nwarded the bid will divert the business right back back te the railroad, at the same time elimi nating nil competition, which was the' situation that prcileuMy existed and which the dissolution elder was meant1 te chnnge. It will give the public something te think about, nnd I think the Court will think twice before It upholds ii wile which treats its own' order with contempt " i The ('our reserved decision, saying If it were necessary It would appoint a master te take testimony in the matter. n WILL HONOR WAR DEAD Canadians Plan Memerial te Mem- E i hi 1 1 rnmriiif rn nip iihi hi in m n in rrrri i ri in m i urn 1 1 1 1 n m rriiuiiMtNMrM urn ihim mm N I EDE R MAN Shee Sale Our Entire Stock of Men's and Women's Summer Shoes Reduced 25 te 40 Bringing fine, high quality regular Niederman Shoes within reach of the most limited income.
