Public hearing at the State House in Boston focused on stopping the proposed merger of the Boston and Maine with the New Haven and Hartford railroad. Gov. Guild urged action, and opponents argued the consolidation would give the New Haven control over Boston & Maine, with calls to block or divest holdings and potential state takeover as a remedy.

Heinze and Canadian Pacific clash over land partition in British Columbia
In New York a hearing before the British consul general dealt with partition rights for 675,000 acres of Columbia & Western land. Mr. Heinze argues the right to partition rests with him, not the railway, and tax consequences hinge on acceptance after 1911. The case, tied to Canadian Pacific’s acquisition of the line, continues next week with signatures to finalize the transcript.

A Consolidated Gas Company trustee said claims that Manhattan Transit stock bids of 25 a share were made for John C. Sheehan are false. He denied any bid and noted no action. He also dismissed Long Acre Electric Light and Power's claim to operate locally, as his company pushes a new 10 million dollar plant prep and will have power for years.

The report notes 31 301 440 stock clearances last year and 57 new members, with 98 memberships purchased and cancelled reducing gratuity obligations by 41025.

Little Gold for Export Rumors Fade in Market
Rumors of further gold exports by today's steamers proved baseless. Bankers who had engaged gold for Paris last week faced expectations of higher local interest rates and currency movements that favored keeping balances in the city. A Saturday bank statement showing a $9,000,000 cash drop and sterling near 4.87 plus Paris check on London at 3 francs contribute to a cautious gold outlook.
