IN STOCK DEAL

in Bonds Have Pittance -
=. Back of Them.

Cincinnati. Feb. 16. - Sensational
charges are made in a suit filed in the
United States circuit court today by
attorneys for Rudolph K1eybolte, the
Cincinnati banker, seeking an investi-
cation of the Miami & Erie Transports
ton company, known as the IS electric
mule.'
The charge is that fnanciers of Ueve-
land, whose names are mentioned as de-
PENDANTS, foated 100000 in bonds
and $3,000,000 in stock on the sole
strength Of $4,000 paid up capital
stock in that company and that these
stocks and bonds being placed on the
market were taken in good faith by
hundreds of innocent investors III Gin
cinnati and elsewhere. e.,
The defendants who are thus accused
are: W. r. Lamprecht, Moses J. Mandel-
baum and Leopold Wood, said to be
partners as M. J. Mandelbaum & Co.;
Edward j. Tillotson, R. E. Rousefeld,
George NJ. Chandler, Henry W. Wing,
Myron H. Wilson, Edward W. Moore,
Henry A. Everett, Fred T. Pomeroy,
Ralph A; Herman, John F. Harper, War Wa: r,
Kleyholte brings his action on behalf
of all the creditors Of the company, In
GLIDING the holders of bonds.
4tn VI ClIO fASV1OAs 8
The pith Of the action is, found in
the allegation, that these defendants
presented to themselves $2,99o,000 Of
the capital stock of the Miami g. Erie
company. which was issued to them as
paid up stock, but for which they made
no payments, and on the strength of
which the company caused 100000 in
bonds to issue and to contract other
debts.
The petition asks that these defend
ants be compelled to pay par for that
stock and that the proceeds be applied
to the debts of the company. There is
pending in the Cleveland courts a suit
to assess the liability against the stock
holders on whom the original holders
are alleged to have unloaded.
Another Action Begun.
Attorney General Ellis has also
brought action to GUST the concern from
the canal banks. The bill seeks to sci
aside the contract between Lamprech1
and associates and the company in Sc
far as it exempts these defendant
from paying for the $2,99O,OOO stool
same to satisfy the debts Of the com
pany which, with the bonds, amount t,
$2,00O,0oO.
Mr.. Kleybolte alleges he has oh
tanned judgment on thirteen bonds O.
the company for $4,000; has issue'
execution which he alleges was re
turned unsatisfed, and that his inves
tigation shows the company has debt
amounting to $1,500,000 and that it
assets will not realize more than $4,000
900. He also asks that these defend
ants be required to turn into court tn
S216,000 they received from the sale o
bonds and that the court appoint re
ceiver to collect these sums from tn
defendants for the benefit Of CREDITOR

AND FLATS;
WHAT is THE DISTINCTION

Possibly the exact origin OF Hat as
applied 10 an apartment will forever
remain in obscurity. In recent years
owners Of fiat houses" in some cities
have rebelled against the term most
hOtly. A short while ago a tenant was
threatened with a suit for libel because
he persisted IN saying that he lived in
such-and-such a fiat house. The land
lord declared that the structure was
neither a fat house nor a tenement, but
an apartment house. The repeated use
Of fiat house" as q designation tended
70 lower the reputation of the place
and drove away wOUld-be occupants
In some cities the word fiat, however,
carries quite the opposite significance.
