HANDS OF RECEIVER
Petition Filed by MetropOli-
tan Trust of New
York

Mobile, December 1e.-The New Or
leans, Mobile and Chicago railroad was
thrown into the hands of receiver
this morning through petition filed by
the Metropolitan Trust company Of
New York in the federal district court,
Judge Toulman Immediately appointed
Col. w. B. owen, president of the rail-
road, receiver.
President owen announced immect-
ately that the road would be operated
AS heretofore, except under the ap-
uroval of the federal court. There VIII
be no changes in the personnel of
officers or employees of the company
brought about by the receivership.
Joseph c. Rich, general counsel for
the New Orleans, Mobile and Chicago.
made this statement:
THE Immediate cause necessitating
the receivership was the failure of the
company to pay the interest on Its
bond Issue last July. The receivership
Is preliminary to a rcadjustment of the
company's finances on better basis.
The bonds are held by the Metro
politan Trust company aggregatins
S12,000,00O. They bear interest at
per cent.
The New Orleans Mobile and Chicago
ic controlled Jointly by the Frisco and
! the Louisville and Nashville railroad
systems. The insolvency of the Frisco
IS said to have embarrassed the Mobile
line, even though the latter has en-
joyed good freight business during
| the current year.
