ACTION SERVES TO
WARN INVESTORS
Several Months Will Probably Be
. 'Required To Take
Testimony.
A suit to enjoin all proceedings In
the merger of the public utility cor
porations of the District wu filed in
the District Supreme Court today by
Corporation Counsel E. H. Thomas.
That the scheme of the Washlng-
ton Utilities Company, a foreign cor
poration, would be Inimical to the
Interests of the cltlsens of Washing
ton, and to the stockholders of sub
sidiary concerns In the process of
absorption; that the foreign holding
corporation will not be subject to
ready control under local law; and
that the gigantic holding company Is
organised for the purpose of evading
the laws of the District of Columbia,
la set forth in the bill prepared by
the Corporation Counsel.
Long Litigation Predicted.
Mr. Thomas reserves, but did not ex
ercise, his privilege of asking for a rule
upon the defendant companies to show
cause why a temporary Injunction shall
not be Issued. He contented himself
today with the filing of the suit, the
culmination of "which may be marked by
lone litigation.
The defendant companies and finan
ciers have ten days In, which to put In
an appearance before the District Su
preme Court They are given twenty
additional days In which to file an an
swer. In the event a demurrer to the
Salt Is tiled, this will further protract
the litigation.
The sweeping allegations made In the
bill of the Corporation Counsel are of
such comprehensiveness that the taking
of testimony, probably before a master
In chancery, may consume several
months.
Warning to Investors.
In the meantime tlio suit will serve
a warning to the Investing public,
and It Is hoped that legislative action 'to
prevent the merger may be taken hy
Congress.
The bill of the Corporation Counsel,
tho result of scverul weeks' Investiga
tion and work, coers forty typewritten
pages and Is a succinct history of ml
the public utility corporations of Wash
lngton. Tho appended exhibits cover
as many pages and the document u.tu
sether Is olio of the most complete and
remarkable ever tiled In the District
courts.
Corporation Counsel Thomas filed tho
bill at noon today and the suit was
umbered 31,129.
Congress Hay Also Act.
"In addition to this move," he said,
"I am unofficially advised thut suppln
mentnry action may be taken by Con
gress during the pendency of the suit
to prevent tho meiger. Just what
shape this Congressional action w.U
take I am not advised, but 1 believe
cognizance will be taken of the uftulr
by Congrets."
The allegations set forth In tho bill of
tho Corporation Counsel ure In lino with
tho synopsis of the bill as exclusively
fiubllshed In The Times of Wednpsduy
ast. The document cxhaustlel treats
of the street railway system of Wash
ington: illustrates the manner In wnlch
the various underlying companies and
corporations wcro brought together un
der the general couti ol of the Washing
ton Railway and Hlertrlc ComDJiiv. in
1903. und then proceeds to tell of the
subtle transactions uy wnicn the Itiinn
clers behind the proposed Washington
Utilities Company went about their
task or garnering in u control of slock.

"That the said defendants, Clarence
P. King, William U. Hlbbs, and their
associates, to the Injury of the plain

two countries, of course speedily involving Russia and
Germany, and probably later England and France, it was
learned today on high authority.
The government at Vienna is determined, in view of
the business demoralization which has resulted from the
last few weeks of uncertainty, to let matters drag no longer,
it was stated.
Austrian officialdom did not share the more hopeful
feeling which prevailed today at the other European capi
tals. For one thing, it was asserted, Foreign Minister
Sazonoff of Russia, originally a strong opponent of hos
tilities, has finally beer, forced to join the Russian war
party as the only means of saving his own official head, and
was said to be strongly supporting Servia's claim to an

that Servia has returned an unsatisfactory answer to Aus
