Wickersham Dismisses US Suit Against New Haven Boston & Maine
Attorney General Wickersham orders dismissal of the anti trust suit against the New York New Haven and Hartford and Boston and Maine railroads as Massachusetts law now authorizes their consolidation through the Boston Holding Company. The action paused due to recent Massachusetts approvals and a state court ruling on trolley properties. The decision hinges on the absence of a remaining interstate commerce restraint from ownership of trolley lines.

Surprise at New Haven Merger Move Amid Federal Suit
In New Haven on June 4 the withdrawal of the suit against the New York New Haven & Hartford Railroad by Attorney General Wickersham surprised observers. The company transferred 11590 shares of Boston & Maine stock to John L. Billard of Meriden to divest property, while steps were taken to dissolve Massachusetts trolley holdings. A merger of the two companies appeared likely if no legal obstacles remained, though Billard controls the B & M stock and may resist relinquishing it.
