A STRANGE SITUATION
"PENNSY" OFFICIAL MIXED UP
IN ALLEGED COAL FRAUDS.

Special Dispatch The Star
PITTSBURG, Pa February 10-Richard
Donohue OF Boston today asked the United
States circuit court to appoint receiver
for the Mountain Coal Company. He
charges fraudulent use of the companys
funds against George F. HUH, Lloyd b.
Huff Richard Coulter, Joseph P. Wilson
and Richard Coulter. jr., all of Greensburg,
and Robert Pitcairn, resident assistant to
President A. j. Cassatt Of the Pennsylvania.
Donohue alleges to be a stakeholder of
the Mountain Coal Company. George F.
HUFF is president and Lloyd B. Huff, secre-
tary and treasurer, while the former. as
we'll as Richard Coulter, jr, and Joseph p
Wilson, are directors of the company.
Fraudulent Use of Funds.
Donohue says that the men named since
January 1, 1903 have kept at the First
National Bank, Greensburg. 1913, Az, on
which no compensation or interest has been
received. and that the company has been
all the while paying per cent interest on
the bonds. Some of the co-defendants are
stockholders and officers of the bank and
have combined and confederated with each
other, Donohue says for the fraudulent use
OF the funds of the company for their own
private and selfish purposes.
He also charges the officers with falling
to collect outstanding obligations from ia
vored companies and individuals because
they are jointly interested in other enter
prlses. He declares that the officers have
steedfastly refused to account for the COM
pany's funds.
A dispatch from Pittsburg last night says
that James McCrea, first vice president of
the Pennsylvania Company, operating the
lines OF the Pennsylvania system west of
Pittsburg. denied the charges made by
Gov. Dawson of West Virginia in a letter
10 United States Senator Ttllman. He said:
THE Pennsylvania is not and never has
been an owner or miner of bituminous
coal either directly or indirectly, and there
fore could, not have influenced the West
Virginia roads In which 1t is Interested to
suppress development of that state to pro-
tect its own coal interests. Certainly there
has been no prompting on the part OF the
PENNSYLVANIA in regard 10 the Red Rock
case or any other similar case
