B. OF L. In FEDERAL COURT.
An Illinois R~eceivership Asked to BE
Made Ancillary.

The suit of Isaac n. Vancleve against the
Equitable Loan and Investment Association
of Bloomington. H.. asking that the recent
appointment of a receiver by Judge Allen,
OF Illinois. be made ancillary, was yesterday
filed in the United States Court. The petit
ton states that the association was organ
lied in 1890 and hat two-thirds of the stock
is held in Illinois. In all there are 1900
shares of stock outstanding. The loans in
force are $500. 900. of which $3.50, 600 is in nli-
nols and Sf0.W 600 is In Indiana. Most of these
loans are on small dwellings. and many
foreclosures have been necessary. The petit
ton says the association has never COM
piled with the Indiana law, which requires
such organizations TO deposit Sl0O,OO0 with
the auditor of state for the protection of
the stockholders in the State, and that the
association Is more than one year behind
the payment of withdrawals for which ap-
plications have been filed. The assets are
100000 and are scattered over many States.
The petition states that in the last year
the association has received S110, 600 and has
paid out Size. coo. and has thus increased it's
insolvency and caused more members to re-
fuse TO pay dues and interest. There is now
on hand less than $4,000. and the pending
applications for Withdrawals amount TO
$4,000. The petitioner claims that the real
estate, which is given as worth 500. 600. is
valued from the cost TO the association, and
mat It's actual value is not more than $780,
90 to $l2O,V0. The petitioner further claims
that the real estate now mortgaged is worth
less than the mortgages placed on il, and
that there is $1,000 due in unpaid premiums.
interest, dues. etc. The total assets are
given as being $4,000 and the liabilities as
over SoU,cVo. Edward Berry was appointed
receiver in Illinois, and the petitioner states
that IL will be better for all stockholders
If but one receiver shall administer the
trust; and for that reason this action is
asked.
