american Debenture Com pany, of
Chicago, in q Receivers Hands.
CHICAGO, Oct. 1O.-Eias Summerfield
was appointed receiver for the Ameri-
can Debenture company today. The
action was taken at the request Of the
stockholders and directors of the con-
cern. The company was an adjunct of
Coffin IL Stanton, the burSted bond
concern of New York. The company
has capital stock Of 100000 most of
which is held by Eastern capitalists.
The bonded Indebtedness is $500, 600,
and the mortgage bonds are nearly ali
held in Europe. 1t is expected that the
assets will be sufficient to liquidate the
entire Indebtedness. The company has
acquired enormous amounts OF water,
electric light, gas and railway bonds,
but nearly all of Its holdings,
the court is informed, have been
pledged for obligations which amount
to million and a half. On many OF
these bonds there has been default in
the payment of interest and foreclosure
has been threatened. By reason of the
shrinkage and the loss of income be i.
cause of default in interest, as we'll as
the expense of prosecuting foreclosure
suits against various corporations, there
is floating indebtedness of $780, 900, the
complainants state, for the payment of
which creditors are pressing. Com
plainants declare that the company is
unable to provide for the payment of
these obligations and they fear attach
ment suits, that will dissipate all the
available assets, by reason of its being
foreign corporation. To preserve the
assets and effect liquidation is the
ground on which the receivership is
asked
