STOCK WATERING LEGAL? IS QUERY

$10,000,000 Sugar Fight Brings Up Technical Ques=

tion of Fraud.

Does "conscious over-valuation con-

stitute fraud?'’ This momentus ques- tion wns discussed today In chancery by Richard V. Rlndabury, counsel for the stockholders of the National .Sugar Refining Company of New Jersey, and John G. Mllburn, of New York, of counsel for the Havemeyer interests.

If “conscious over-valuation" conati- tues fraud then the common stock if all companies not secured by property are more, or less fraudulent. The argu- ment was lengthy.

“You needn’t limit yourself,” said Vice-Chancellor Stevens to Mr. Mil- burn. “This question is very trouble- some to me. I don't understand high finance and therefore am rather dull In the matter. The case is extraor- dinary.”

“We sympathize with you, your honor," said Mr. Mllburn.

A brilliant array of legal talent bat- tled over the question of $10,000,000 of common stock held by the Havemeyer interests without, as is alleged, any consideration havjng been made there- for.

The merging of three companies Into the National Sugar Refining Company of New' Jersey was followed by the I effecting of an organization with $8.- j 260,000 of preferred stock. In order to 1

obtain friendly competition perhaps, instead of destructive competition, the late Henry O. Havemeyer, who con- trolled the American Sugar Refining

| Company, was given $10,000,000 w'orth of common stock, but Vice-Chancellor Stevens asked, "How, did they go about It?"

They gave the stock to James A. Post, representative of the Havemeyer Interests, who was made, president of j the National Sugar Refining Company. On account of the Sherman act the j stockholders did not take the common stock, but $8,260,000 of preferred stock | was held by them, and the $10,000,000 common was taken up by the Have- | meyer interests. The contesting stock- >

holders claiming fraud in the issuance I of the $10,000,000 ask for a cancellation j of that stock. The morning session was consumed by the argument of >

Mr. Mllburn. It was highly technical j If the case is not completed today, which is probable, it will be continued tomorrow before Vice-Chancellor Stev- j ens.

FORGER SUSPECT ON TRIAL FOR $3,000,000 FRAUD.
