Mar- I ket Sq.—Advertisement BIG MERGER CASE I, Will BE AfIGUED New York Central Seeking Right i to Merge Lines—Pitts burghers Complain j The first hearing was held late yes- j I torday before the Public Service Qom- I mission on the petition for a merger of ! the New York Central and Hudson j | River Railroad Company with the j Lake Shore and Michigan Southern i and several shorter lines into a new i corporation, to be known as the New j York Central Railroad Company. The case of the petitioners was pre- I sented by Attorney A. H. Harris and ' the principal witnesses were President l A. H. Smith and Chief Auditor R. A. j White, of the New York Central. Their ! testimony was to the effect that a con- 1 solidation of these lines meant econ- I omy in the operation and a resultant [ benefit to the shareholders. The Tirotestants to the merger, who ' are minority stockholders of the Lake ! Shore and Michigan Southern, did not j present their side of the case, but will I have an opportunity so to do on Au- | gust 19, when another hearing in the i matter will be held. They object on j the ground that the merging is a vio- ! lation of the laws of the United States I and of the laws and constitution of j various states and they contend in i their protest that the proposed consoli dation will place in the hands of one j ownership several competing and ' parallel railroads, namely, the Lake i Shore and Michigan Southern, the 1 Michigan Central and the Nickle Plate, i E. P. Grosvenor had charge of the legal end for the objectors. The commission has approved the application of the Northern Central 1 Railway for a certificate of valuation approving the issuance of $7,737,050 par value of the company's stock in ■ connection with the merger with the Pennsylvania Railroad Companv. The ° commission approved the consolidation u of these lines at a former meeting con- t' ditionally on the verification, by its , accountant* of the financial statements made by the petitioners, and the pro- ceedlng to-day completes the merger o so far as any action of the commission !■ is concerned.

Herbert Quick, the editor, says that some of the cures proposed but which he did not print, are cruel. Of these he writes: "A score or more proposed cures were barred out on account of their in humanity. Among these were devices for choking the horse until ho falls repeatedly to the ground; a remedy that would cause the links' of a chain to be crushed Into the skin and flesh of the balker; the use of a double-pointed Instrument to be pressed automatically Into sensitive parts of the horse's body; the use of infuriated cats and dogs and of toothed spring traps to terrorize the hal∨ caustics to burn the mouth and nostrils; and powdered substances to suffocate or blind the animal. "These anil other Inhumanly cruel treatments were submitted with the casual explanation that while they may be considered a little harsh, they are guaranteed to be effectiv*. 3
