MERGER Outcome of Their Fight to Se- cure $1,000,000 Stock Par- ticipation in Deal Which Was Refused Them. In the United States Circuit Court Saturday Judge Pollock handed down a decision in the case of L. A. Cella and others against James Brown and oth- ers, in which he held that plaintiffs had no eause in equity and found for de- fendants. This suit fight made to prevent (‘o.-United the outcome of the Cella, Adler & Tilles Brown Bros.

The allotments made them by Brown Bros. of New York, who conducted the was by the tailways negotiations, was $446,160 for their 11.000 |' Shares of Transit company common stock. Oct. 28, 1%4, former Judge Henry W. Bond, representing Cella, Adler & Tilles, tendered to Brown Bros. to bring his clients’ participation up to the de- sired $1,000,000, a check for 84 per cent of that omunt, at the same time express- ing his cents’ willingness to pay the remaining 16 per cent. The tender was declined. and suit was instituted Oct. 31, 194, to enjoin Brown Bros. from completing the proposed merger. Owing to the ‘act that Brown Bros. were nonresidents of the State of Missour!, the suit was transferred from the State to the Federal Court and has been awaiting a final ruling. Former Judge Pond announced Sat- urday, that his + cients would. appeal the case to the United States Court of Appeals, and that in the meantime the check for the 84 per cent of the desired $1,000,000 participation, ten- dered to Brown Bros. by Cella, Adler & Tilles, Judge Bond says, will re- main in’the bank in which it was de- posited pending a settlement of the dispute. LASSOED HER SON FROM WINDOW Mother, Struck in Face, *Bound Youth to Clothes Pole Till Policeman Came. Bleeding from a blow in the face giv- en by her 19-year-old son, Edward, 50- year-old Maggie Culley, colored, of 5400 Michigan avenue, lassoed the son from the second-stery window of her house Friday night and then tiled him up to a clothes-pole for safe keeping. She was assisted by her cousin, Ollie Adams, who caught and held the loose end of the rope after its looped end had fallen over Edward's head and the rope drawn taut enough to bind his arms. Maggie Culley then ran downstairs and, keeping at a distance from her lassoed progeny, trotted round and round the clothes-pole until she had Edward lit- erally bound to the stake. Whereupon sat down, holding the rope-end, and lectured him. The curtous spectacle attracted a crowd of two hundred svectators, and Sergt. Whalen of the Carondelet Police Station arrived and arrested Edward. Saturday morning Culley was fined $50 and costs by ate Bilhartg in the Wy- oming Street Police Court for assault and battery on his mother. she READY FOR THE READER AT SUNRISE SUNDAY!

Two battleships in hands uf mutineers, the Potemkine and another are lying in the harbor here.” The Consul’s cablegram has caused the greatest confusion here, as it is in direct contradiction of reports receivd through unofficial sourcs, via London and Paris, stating that the mutineers of the Potemkine have surrendered and that the authorities are in control of the situation.
