TOM L. JOHNSON LOSES
TRACTION RECEIVERSHIP.
Granted at CLeUeLdnd WtthOnt Hear
ing Central Trust Arguments.

Cleveland Nov 1.-Two receivers for the
Municipal Traction Company and the Cleveland
Railway Company will be appointed Tomorrow
by federal Judge Tayler. who late to-day an
nounced his decision without hearing the argu-
ments of ATTORNEYS for the Central Trust Com
pany of New York, applicant for 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.
Upon the demand OF the court counsel for the
Cleveland Railway Company waived its right to
claim that by this receivership the lease or the
streetcar property to the Municipal Tractlon
Company is forfeited. The court held. however
that the lease of the Municipal Traction COM
pany the property Of the Cleveland RAILWAY

These proceedings followed referendum cleo
ton when the people voted on the question
whether to approve disapprove the twenty
FIVE year franchise under which the municipal
or Scent fare company was to operate. That
vote was in the negative, and in order to pre-
serve the bondholders rights. apparently jeop-
ardized by the referendum vote, the trust COM
pany brought suit for receiver.
