DEGREE OF FORECLOSURE.
ImpOrtent Paper Fled Against New
 Orleans Street Railway.

New York, June 5.-An ancillary de- cree of foreclosure and sale in the case of the New York Security and Trust Company against the New Orleans Railway Company was filed today in the United States Circuit Court here and was signed by Judge Lacombe.
 The original bill of foreclosure was granted by the federal court of New Jersey in Trenton. The plaintiff was the trustee of $4OO0O0O0 issue of bonds upon the properties of the de- fendant corporation and on June l. 1905, under the deed of trust, payment be- came due on bonds of the par value of 17.S09000 and interest amounting to S40O702. Payment upon these securi- ties the complaint charged was wholly refused. Suit was then instituted for foreclosure by the plaintiff and Edwin c. Foster. of New Orleans. was ap- pointed special master by the federal courts of New Jersey to sell the prop erty of the defendant If the amounts due were not paid within five days from the first day of June 1905.
 The court provides that a portion of the payment for the property may be made with the outstanding bonds. and overdue coupons of the defendant cor poration. These the New Jersey court allows to be received at such value as shall be equivalent to the amount that the holders would be entitled to re- ceive on them in case the entire pur- chase price was paid in cash.

WEATHER FORECAST. WashfnEton, June 5.--For Alabama Fair Tuesday and Wednesday, light te fresh south winds On the coast.

Ingalls, continued, "of the different of- ficials: we examined the accounts and we thought that it all showed such a disorganized condition, such extrava- gance and negligence, that for a com pany of the magnitude of the Equitable and so connected as 1t is with the com munity by its system of insurance. ment. and we recommended that the di- rectors should ask for the resignations of the higher officials and i'll their places. The majority of the directors. after hearing the report and discussing 1t evidently felt that our conclusions were irresistible. but to avoid direct condemnation of these officers. they voted to allow them to remain, but then proceeded to declare that there should be a new office created--a chairman, who should have control of all the af- fairs of the company and these officers, whose resignations we had asked. should be subordinate to this chairman.
 Tn other words. 1t was like the judge who was asked to remove & man from control of a farm because hIs management was made bad who de- cided that he would still let him work and would put another man over him in charge of the farm. So they decided to allow Alexander and Hyde to still remain and work, but to put another man over them in charge of affairs of the company.
 We were glad to find that the Equi- table was solvent and that it had made money and increased it's business in spite of Its troubles and it's weak management, and I think we all agree that If there can be a change of man. agement and the one-man ownership of stock eliminated. the Equitable has a great future"
