Bondholders Win
Victory Over Gould !
Interests in Court,
Justice Noyes Decides Securities Must'
Be Returned to Insurgents After
Two Years' Eig-ht. !
NEW ToRK. Pec i;,- Tli Insurgent
first mortgage bondholders of the Wabash
Pittburg Terminal Railway company won
a victory over the controlling Gould Interests
today. Justice Noyes. In the Vnited States
circuit court, decided that the Central
Trust company, acting as depositary for
the first mortgage bondholders' commit
tee, must return to the Insurgents the
bonds which they have been fighting to
regnln for two years.
The Wabash-Pittsburg Terminal Rail
way company was formed in l!s4 by con
solidation of the Pittsburg. Carnegie and
Western, the Cross Creek and the Toledo
and Western Railroad companies to give
th Wahash railroad an entrance Into
Pittsburg. All Its stock Is owned by the
Wabash railroad.
In li0S foreclosure suit was brought by
the first niortpage, bodholders. who ap
pointed a committee headed hy James A.
Wall ace. There are $-'3,000.(O of first
mortgage bonds and the committee ob
tained $36.00fi.fi0 under an agreement to
formulate a plan of of rep stmt ion.
This was not forthcoming and bondhold
ers representing an interest of more than
Sfi.OOO.OOO organised a second committee,
headed by James C. Chaplin, vice presi
dent of the Colonial Trust company of
Pittsburg. The Chaplin committee de
manded that the Wallace committee return
Its $6,000,000 of bonds. The Wallace com
mittee refused, on the ground that the
agreement under which the bonds had
been surrendered provided thry should not
be returned until an agreement had been
formulated and the matter went to the
courts.
YAUDEYILLE CIRCUIT GIYEN UP
Plans for Big Western Line of Morris
Rouses Fall Through.
COAST COMPANY AFTER M02TEY
Allraatlon William Morris
2T.OOO n Ileal for Cash
erted Ts Be Frosesj
Oat In West.
Owes
PAN FRANCISCO, Cal . Pec. IT. (Special
Telegram.) William Morrli. vaudeville
promoter, has been charged h s the William
Morris Company. Western, a th wrongful
conversion of 140.000 and the. organisation
of a company Is now under he way for
the purpose of eliminating h-m as presl
dent and stockholder.
There Is to be a complete change In the
original plans of the company. The Idea
of a gigantic vaudeville circuit throughout
the west emhracing houses In Omaha, Salt
Lake, Denver, Sacramento, San Francisco
and Los Angeles has been given up. The
San Francisco and Is Angeles theaters
are to be completed and converted Into
music halls similar to the old Tlvoll, but
the Omaha house has been closed after
a short season, and the other houses,
which are now in course of construction,
will be sold.
At a meeting of the broad of directors
In this city last Tuesday a resolution was
adopted that unless Morris wired SS.000
by Wednesday, attorneys for the Western
company would be Instructed to attach
Morris' American music hall in Chicago.
The resolution had the desired effect. Ths
S3.OO0 was forthcoming and the attach
ment proceedings In Chicago were not
necessary.
Asaert Money Diverted.
It Is said that Morris still owed the
Western company about S27.000 and that the,
company expects to recover every cent.
The 140.000 had been paid to by hlru by
the Western company to make the first
payment on the purchase of a half in
terest In the Barrasford vaudeville circuit
of England, but the money waa used by
ths Eastern company, according to Seely,
to tide over its losses. The deal was to
be for $175.0'I0.
When Morris came to San Francisco last
January with Harry louder, he persuaded
ths Western company to advanoe ths S40,
000 toward purchasing the Interest In ths
English circuit. Morris Is president of the
local company and holds half the stock.
Attorney Leventrill, acting for Morris,
wss to go to England to make the Investi
gation. "Leentrlll made the trip to England
all right," said Seely. but the money was
not Invested In England. It was used by
ths English corporation for Its own bene
fit. When ws made the demand for Its
return, Morris was unabls to pay tt. I
Instituted suit (vgalnst him In New York
last summer charging him with wrongful
confiscation of S40.0U0.
"On certain representations of Morris to
ths directors of our company, ths suit was
withdrawn, and several small payments on
account have ben made, but the western
corporation then decided to sever Its., con
nections with William Morria"
Marrla Bays It'a False.
CHICAGO, Dec. 17. (Special Telegram.)
Mr. Morris was told of ths accusations
mads against him In San Francisco. He
said In reply: "It la all an absolute lie,
mads out of whole cloth. Not a word of
truth In ths whois story. It crops up every
little while In various places, and now it's
Chicago's turn to hear It."
"William Morris, Kastera, and William
Morris, Western, are two separate con
cerns, and have nothing to do with each
other," said Colonel William A. Thompson,
manager of ths Chicago house. "I don't
know about ths affairs of the western
company, as the Chicago house is in ths
eastern company. I know that ws sent
soms money west to make up ths de
ficiencies of the Omaha house, which was
losing money, until Mr. Morris told me to
stop. I don't think Mr. Morris had any
capital invested In ths western company,
but think he made a contract with the
men who put in the money to use his name,
for which he waa to get some stock, and
to use his bookings.
"The Omaha house was closed up about
thres weeks ago, because It was losing
money, and Mr. Morris would not send out
any more attractions there. If he had a

A redistribution of red cross seals among
Nebraska towns seemg to be necessary If
the demand Is to be met. The Omaha ottloe
ia planning to call In aome of the seala and
send them to new markets. No town win
have Its supply cut down peremptorily, but
several towns. Including Tecumaeh, Auburn
and Beatrice, seem to have more than they
need, and others, Falrbury, Wahoo, Atkin
son and Fullerton are sold out and asking
for more. The Philatelic World of Superior
has promised to advertise the sale by pub
lishing cuts.
It takes a week or more for an order of
new stamps to be obtained from the central
office at Washington, and there Is not much
time left for the sale. The reserve In the
Omaha office, 807 Brandels building, is al
most exhausted, ana) there are many people
In Omaha who have not yet had an oppor
tunity to buy.
The central office has put over S100 In the

Nebraska that may not get any seals until
It la too late. They were sent to the ad
drees of the firm that carried them last
year, but were returned by the successor
to that flim with a note explaining that It
has gone out of business. As the successor
sent back the supplies collect and showed
no disposition to heip, there may be soms
difficulty In supplying the town.
