RECEIVER ASKED FOR THE MoNox.
Kentucky National Bank Alleges Decep-
ton in the Reconciliation.

INDIANAPOLIS. July 3.-Suit for the appoint
ment OF a receiver for the Chicago. Indian
apos and Louisville Railroad Ithe Mononl was
filed in the Federal Court here to-day. the
plaintiff being the Kentucky National Bank Of
Louisville. The Farmers Loan and Trust
Company and the Central Trust Company Of
New York are made defendants The trust
companies hold the mortgage bonds. which
were foreclosed that sale might be made.
The complaint alleges that the reorganiza-
ton OF the Monon company was brought about
for the purpose Of preventing the collection or
enforcement Of the guarantee OF 100000
worth OF Beattyville bonds. 1t is also alleged
that the decree of sale to the Chicago. Indian
apois aud Louisville company was obtained
by a fraudulent agreement for the purpose OF
cutting out the debts held by the Beattyville
bondholders. and that the United States court
was misled and deceived in granting the de-
cree. The complaint says that the interest
past due on the mortgages forecosed when
the plan OF reorganization went into effect
amounted to $232.477. and that the net earn
ings OF the company. under careful manage
ment and within a reasonable time could have
discharged the prior debts
1t is further averred that John T. Mills Jr..
who held a secured claim against the old COM
pany. did not present facts to the court that
his claim was secured. but that he assisted in
securing a sale OF the property to the new
company. The sale. tho bank says. prevents
the general creditors from enforcing their
claims.
