TRUST FUND ALLEGED TO BE
: UNAUTHORIZED; SEPTEMBER 8
SET AS DATE FOR HEARING
ARGUMENT IN CASE BY JUDGE
HOLLOMAN

A motion to remove Ralph c. Ely
as receiver Of the New Mexico Gen.
traI railway on the ground that he ls
unfit for the position was filed In the
district court this afternoon by Fran
els C.. Wilson, attorney for the Pitts
burgh Trust company. Judge Reed
HoIloman has set Monday, September
g as the date for hearing argument.
Former Attorney General Frank w.
Clancy will represent the receiver at
the 'hearing.
The motion states that since the
removal of C. c.. Murray as receiver
and the appointmentaof Mr.. ELY, De.
cember, 1914, to July. 1917, Receiver
Ely has drawn against the trust fund
a total of $14,940 and the petition
then declares that this amount was
drawn without authority of any
character and for no authorized pur-
poses, SO far as the record in this
case ~discloses." II states that such
accounts were SO drawn by said
Ralph C. Ely solely on account of
his personal interests and needs and
operate to place him in the position
of a debtor to the trust fund in his
hands as such receiver, all of which
has been Illegal and without right,
and to the detriment Of the Pitts.
burgh Trust company as trustee for
the bondholders or any other credf-
tors, preferred or otherwise, who are
interested in the trust fund and prop
erty which has been administered by
the said receiver"
1t states that such sums are in ex-
cess of any sums the receiver could
hope to obtain in any future allow.
ances for services as receiver.
1t Is alleged that Mr.. Ely has
charged against the trust fund large
sums for travelling expenses to the
east and to California without any ex.
PLANTATION of a competent character"
and that they are improper expenses.
Tt is further stated that these mat
tiers demonstrate 1.-THE unfitness or
the said Ely to be receiver"
The petition states that the Pitts.
burgh Trust company is informed that
the object Of Mr.. Ely's many trips to
the east and west was the dismantling
of the road and the sale of the rails,
although Mr.. Ely, the petition goes on
to say, has let it be known broadcast
through the press that he opposes the
dismantlihg of the New Mexico Gen.
trail. 1t is further alleged that Mr..
Ely is to profit by such sale, accord
ing to information received by the
Pittsburgh Trust company.
The petition discusses the formation
of the Clark Coal company and then
deals with the Office force Of Receiver
Ely, alleging that the receiver has
been ex~travagant. In paragraph 6 It
is stated that the fund of $14,31O left
by former Receiver Murray for a pay.
ment Of taxes of the railroad in Santa
Fe county, has been used by Mr.. Ely
and the words "squandered" and dds.
sipated" are employed to describe such
use.
This petition is the first gun in
the long rumored fight to GUST Re.
ceiver Ely. The latter, it is under
stood, emphatically denies all
charges of improper use of money
and claims that the funds were drawn
for justifiable and proper purposes.

penitentiary brick from Santa Fe to
Carriozo from Is to 13 cents per

the distance from Ell Paso to Carrizozo
is only ia miles, as against 175 miles
