SAYS SUIT WILL
NOT EFFECT PLAN
WASHINGTON. June 16.—Secretary
Lane says that the plans of the gov
ernment will not he disturbed by the
suit tiled against the bondholders and
himself as the purchaser of the Alaska
Northern railroad. Discussing the ease
this afternoon the secretary said that
the suit is between parties who are
interested in a division of the pur
chase price and there is no question
raised as to the legality of the transfer
of the Alaska Northern to the govern
ment. “It appears to me." said Lane,
"that those who brought the suit are
n<>t< satisfied with the arrangements
made for a division of the proceeds and
fear that they will not get their just
share of the money to be paid by tbs
government. It will not interfere how
ever with the government plan for pur
chasing the road.” Lane stated that
tile matter would be arranged through
the government turning the money
over to a receiver, if the court ap
points ono and will take over the title
just as if no suit had been brought.
