OF the Courts
STOCKHOLDER TIES UP
ASSETS OF OIL COMPANY
George MetCaIf Files Suit Against
GreenIee Corporation

An action to restrain the convey
ance of assets and property of the
Greenlee Consolidated Oil company
was filed in the superior court yester-
day by George Metcalf, owner of 5000
shares of stock, who alleges that the
president of the concern, P. NJ. Green
lee, and others, are trying to "bam-
boozle" them into the belief that they
owe so much money that they just
have to do it.
The company was capitalized for
5000 900 last summer and the plaintiff
alleges that in return for valuable
leases on oil lands. P. NJ. Greenlee was
given half the stock. Now Metcalf
charges Greenlee with "trumping up
alleged debts of the company repre-
sented as expenditures on machinery.
Metcalf complains that the debts
have been paid by the Soucal COM
pany, organized by Mrs. Clara M.
Greenlee, for the purpose of foreclos-
ing on the Greenlee Consolidated Oil
company and to obtain control of 95,-
90 shares of the treasury stock Of the
latter.
Metcalf charges that the whole ar
rangement is for the purpose of plac-
ing the Greenlees in charge of the
company. and that they have already
made arrangements to exchange the
company's leases for big blocks of
stock in the Penn Midway OIL COM
pany, recently organized.
He claims that Greenlee tried to di-
vide proportionate shares of the Penn
Midway company among the stock
holders of the Greenlee Consolidated,
although the company was not dis
solved, and he asks the court to re-
strain the defendant from conveying
the Greenlee assets and property to
the Soucal company and thence to the
Penn Midway company
