Multimillionaire Steamship Suit Faces New Jersey Court
A chancery bill filed in Trenton seeks rehabilitation of the Metropolitan Steamship Company of New Jersey, targeting its assets and operations and charging New York New Haven Hartford Railway with antitrust maneuvers. The suit, led by Miss Jennie Morse and aided by legal teams from New Jersey and New York, alleges fraud and Sherman Act violations involving the Yale and Harvard ships and their lease to Pacific Coast Navigation. It seeks appointment of a receiver and restoration of the New Jersey line’s independent status.
