SUPREME COURT MAY DECIDE ON MERGER OF ROAD Interstate Commerce Commission Ponders Legality of Consolidation. Timet Waahinoton Bureau. 132% New York Avenue. / WASHINGTON, Jan. 8. The Supreme Cpurt of the United States be called upon to dispose of the Nickel Plate merger. After hearings lasting more than nine months, during which more than 10,000 pages of testimony were taken, more than 300 exhibits submitted and four days of arguments heard by the full membership, the Interstate Commerce Commission hnally has gone into executive session,to decide the first big railroad merger attempted under the Transportation act. The merger would connect more than 0,000 miles of Eastern railways, creating a big competitive system for the Baltimore & Ohio, Pennsylvania and New York Central. The Chesapeake & Ohio, Hocking Valley, Erie & Pere Marquette lines would be linked with the present Nickel Plate. Attorneys for the Nickel Plate declared in their arguments that if the commission finds that the terms proposed to stockholders are “just and reasonable” and the merger in the “public interest,” the commission is bound under the law to approve it. ' Counsel for minority Chesapeake & Ohio stockholders have bitterly contested every step and forced introduction of thousands of additional pages of testimony. They have ar*gued that the commission is without authority, since a 999-year lease, as contemplated, is nothing less than an outright consolidation. They contend the terms proposed for Chesapeake & OhiQ and'Hocking Valley stockholders are unreasonable and give the Van Sweringen Brothers, organizers of the merger, increased financial benefits, to the detriment of minority stockholders. Henry W. Anderson, chief of counsel for the minority, termed the merger "the rawest proposition ever proposed by the railroads of America.” Twice during his argument before the commission he indicated clearly that if the commission approved the Van Sweringen application he would appeal to the Federal courts. He claimed that courts of equity would support the rights of minority stockholders. CHAMP STENO PARIS.—MiIe.

Prison Turnkey Has Good Record

% Y . ••••• • , % ■' ■■

—Pho.o by Perron. . Turnkey Scott Waughtell During the past four years “Scotty,” or Turnkey Scott Waughtell, has been the desk clerk at city prison. It is no pleasant job. at times, to register some of the unwilling guests. Some regard the, giving of their names for record as outrageous, while others resent being searched. Many object to giving their valuables for safe keeping, to prevent their being robbed inside the bars. The biggest howl is raised, however, when the big door is swung open and closed again. Waughtell has met all these situations and has made hundreds of friends "of the men whom he has been forced to lock up. Courtesy in communicating with relatives, bondsmen and friends, and a kind word in distress is well taken and always Waughtell makes the right remarks at the right time. He was appointed to the department Sept. 25, 1907, and lives at 2450 N. Pennsylvania St. The Duvall administration has named Waughtell as turnkey for the next four years.
