The gems Included a pearl necklace which alone was valued at 180,000, but it was found later that the Jewels had not been taken.

It is proposed to consolidate only the Lake Shore at this time, but ow ing to a provision of the mortgage, the consent of the holders of the Michigan- Central proportion of the issue must be obtained.

According to an officer of the com pany, the Immediate object of the ab sorption of the Lake Shore is to ob tain a through line to Chicago under the management, to the end that Its operations may be placed on a less cumbersome basis. The bondholders are asked to re linquish their lien upon the Lake Shore, pledged as securities for the bonds, and to accept in return what would be second mortgage bonds in the consol idation system. Several other New York Central lines south of Chicago and in Lake Shore territory will be merged with the parent company when the Lake Shore Is taken in. Control of the Michigan Central and the Lake Shore was secured by the New York Central in 1908, -when it issued its 8 per cent bonds for $50. 000,000 of the Lake Shore & Michigan Southern stock at 200 and $18,738,000 Michigan Central stock at 115.
