CASE In FEDERAL COURT

Judge TayIer Says Present Arrange
ment Expired When Voters Failed
to Ratify Franchise-WilI Not De-
termIne Rights of Cleveland Rail-
way Company Until Final Hearing.
Mayor johnson Will Not Re Cited
For Contempt of Court.
Cleveland, o., Nov. IL. - Two re-
ceivers for the Municipal Traction
company and the Cleveland Railway
company will be appointed today by
Federal Judge TayIer, who announced
his decision without hearing the ar
guments of attorneys for the Central
Trust company of New York, appli-
cant for a receiver
Judge Tayler made it clear that the
receivers were merely to preserve
the property, and that he would not
undertake to determine the rights of
the Cleveland Railway company or
the Municipal Traction company to
restoration of their property, but
would reserve that question for the
final hearing.
The court held however, that the
lease of the Municipal Traction com,
pany on the property of the Cleve-
land Railway company term mated
when the franchise failed to carry at
the recent referendum election, but
qualified his statement by remarking
that this finding was not final, brit
for the purpose of the hearing on the
application for a receiver.
The decision was the elimination
of a suit by the Central Trust com
pany of New York, trustee for hold
ers of $S,OOO,OO0 of bonds, $2,OOO,O 900
Of which become due next July.
Mayor Johnson will not be cited
for contempt of court because of his
refusal to produce the books of the

threatened.

day every whistle in the city was
blown and the courthouse bell rang
in honor of the cornerstone laying at

the arrangement jumped TO the con-
clusion that there was a fire at the
institution. A large crowd rushed
toward the hospital and were greatly
relieved TO find out the real cause oi
the alarm. Had il been April lst
