| BLAMES HEPBURN ACT.
Western Maryland ReceiUershap a
Surprise IN Baltimore.
(By Telegraph 20 The Trfoune-l

baltimore March 6-The passage of the Western
Maryland Railroad into the hands OF a receiver
was shock TO financial circles and TO many citl-
gems who are holders Of the cornpany's securities
The local stock MARKET was not, however. seriously
affected. The first mortgage bonds dropped to 4se.
and closed a 4s14 information that the Aprii
coupon would be paid. though payment might Dc
delayed a month or two. The stock dropped about
two points. Only twenty-five of the bonds were
offered for sale. showing that investors were un-
willing 70 sacrifice them. Receiver Bushs conten-
ton that the Hepburn act was largely responsible
was indorsed on all sides Coal operators iuterested
in the Western MaryIands coal fields, say that the
company unlike the Baltimore & Ohio and other
larger companies. had no opportunity to sell por-
lions or the whole of its hundred thousand
acres OF coal lands at anything like satisfactory
figures.
Receiver Bush who is president of the Davis
Coal and Coke Company of West Virginia, which
operates the mines owned by the Western Mary
land, denied tonight in circulation in Ilan-
cial circles during the day that receiver would
be appointed for the coal company. Mr.. Bush de-
clared that such action contemplated.
There Is much speculation to the future Of the
railroad Mr. Bush declined discuss this; neither
would he say anything concerning a report that
the road would pass out of the Geulds's hands and
be divided up and sold TO the Pennsylvania the
Reading and the Baltimore & Ohio the PennSylva-
MA getting the Cumberland Valley and the Haao-
YER & Gettysburg branches. the Reading to take
over the link from Cherry Run to Shippensburg
and the Baltimore Ohio to take the West Vir-
ginia Central and the link from Cumberland to Bal
unore to serve its coal traffic
It is alleged that the company is indebted for
materials and supplies to an amount in excess Of
800 900, and the creditors pressing for the
payment Of their claims, threatening court action
enforce their demands
The outstanding loans maturing April I, amount
ing to SS.z76 80, which the company was unable TO
meet We're mostly held abroad, the Deutsche Bank
of Germany being the principal creditor. Part of
these loans were due year ago, but were
tended that time.
In addition TO the saoo9Ooo paid Baltimore fer
the property. nearly $35.00OooO has been spent by
the Western Maryland in acquisitions and i'm
proverlents since it purchased by the Gould
interests.
It is understood that the only default in in
terest payments will be on the second mortgage-
which are known as the general lien and con-
vertible'-bonds.
For these bonds the Bowling Green Trust Com
