Suit Against Cortelyou Fails in Panama Bonds Case
Washington Jan The application of George Vv. Austin of New York for a restraining order against Secretary Cortelyou to prevent the allotment of 2150 0% worth of Panama Canal bonds to certain national banks was denied by Justice Gould of the District of Columbia Supreme Court. The ruling amounts to a dismissal for now, though a demurrer may be filed later in the week by the District Attorney. The circular calling for bids for Panama bonds reserved the right to reject any bid, a point on which the justice based his decision.
