Gould, his associates snd three firms of bankers headine a syndicate which purchased the West ern Pacific bonds. "Action in which the judgment was renderd in favor of the Western Pa cific was not adequately or properly defended, the petition states, and adds the case was tried on narrow stipulated facts without calling of witnesses and without a jury. Notice is given that the committee will bring a suit in equity to have the judg ment vacated or its enforcement en joined. 5,978 Killed On Railroads In 1919 Death Toll for Last Year Is Smallest Since 1898 Num ber of Injured Decreases.
