Robert Elsmore, Thomas P. Bones
and James d. Hobbs, to restrain
them from encumbering or selling
the property and to declare g. con-
veyance Of the same June 9 last to
Bones and Hobbs, null and void, on
the ground that 1t was made with
out the knowledge and consent of

The plaintiff. represented by At
torneys Wilton J. Lambert and
Rudolph H. Yeatman alleges that the
hotel company was organized with a
capital stock of 81 SOC, 900 for the
purpose of purchasing the property
at the corner Of Twelfth and H
streets northwest and to erect there
on hotel. The plaintiff claims there
were three trusts amounting to 1885,.
900 on the property and that being in
financial straits, the defendants
sought his assistance. He accommo-
dated them with $50, 900, receiving a
return 700 shares of preferred stock
at par value Of 500 share. 1t was
understood and agreed, he alleges.
that the $50, 900 be deposited for the
purposes mentioned in the agree
ment.
The defendant corporation, accord
ing to the plaintiff, acquired title to
the property and, in violation Of the
agreement on June last. conveyed
it to Bones and Hobbs for a declared
consideration Of $40 in exchange for
an equity on an apartment house on
between Sixteenth and Seven
tenth streets northwest. The convey.
ance was never authorized by the
stockholders, the plaintiff claims
who asks the court to appoint q
receiver for the property and to de-
clare the transfer of the property
