u. s. r. FORECLOSURE SUIT.
4rgument on Guaranty Trust Com
nam So. 900 900 MOrtga Closed.

The foreclosure suit of the Guaranty Trust Com
pany against the Metropolitan Street Railway Com
pany to recover its mortgage Of Sl2.50oooo was
continued yesterday before Judge Lacombesin the
United States Circuit Court. Julien T Davies pre-
scented arguments for the trust company and Bron-
Winthrop for the Metropolitan.
Mr.. Davies argued that the mortgage covered the
entire property OF the railway company with the
exception Of certain specific exemptions and prop
erty acquired after the execution Of the mortgage
The Second Avenue Third Avenue and Central
Crosstown lines are specifically exempted having
been acquired subsequent to the execution Of the
mortgage.
Mr.. Winthrop asserted that the 2ith street cross
town 2sth and 29th streets crosstown and the FuI-
ton street crosstown lines also exempt but
Mr.. Davies opposed this contention Mr.. winthrop
argued that the mortgage covered only the prop
erty actually used the lines or routes covered
by the mortgage and did not extend to the entire
property or property used IN connection with the
lines admitted as included in the mortgage. He
said that only IS per cent Of the companys prop
ertv was so included under the mortgage
At the close Of the arguments both sides handed
I'D briefs to Judge Lacombe. who reserved decision.
AS soon as Judge I.acombe hands down his decision
it is expected that the property will he put up at
foreclosure sale. The general opinion is that the
bondhoders will hid il in, unless the marlborough
Netropolftan Company. which holds majority OF
the stock of the Metropolitan Street Railway Com
panv under the Of the traction merger pur-
chases the property.
