Valdez. Oct. 2.‘> Attorney Graves in
the matter of the Alaska Central rail
way this morning filed foreclosure suit
in behalf of the Trust and Guarantee
Company of Toronto, trustee for second
mortgage bonds as successor ot \\ est
ern Trust and Savings Bank. I he
allegations are practically the same as
1 lalbiine's made in Fairbanks when a
receiver was appointed to take charge
of the road. There will be no resist
ance by any parties. The Central
Trust Company of Illinois, as trustee
for lirst mortgage bonds, and Ballaine
as plaintiff in present receivership are
named as parties to the suit. Motion
was made that a new receiver be ap
pointed to act under foreclosure pro
; ceedings.
The court took Attorney Graves'
| motion for receivership under advise
ment till 10 o’clock tomorrow. Graves
asked that present receivership con
i tinue until a new receiver is appointed,
i Attorney Haight for tlie railroad ad
I mitted the allegations made except the
claim of the bondholders that all the
property belongs to the railroad.
This admission makes it certain that
reorganization will be effected without
obstruction.
A motion was made early in the pro
ceedings on behalf of the Alaska Cen
tral that the receivership be vacated,
but Judge Reid after taking it under
advisement denied the motion.
