Counsel for the plaintiff presented a petition early in 'the posed by the defendant and the forenoon which wa.s vigorously op- intervening agencies.

The pelition presented read in part: "For the upon which this is sed and unsacureo' creditors, the stockholders, shippers, employees and all other parties interest that this action be adjourned, portpone'd or continued and thcrefoie moves on condition that the management agree to submit within a reasonable time to the holders of said consolidated mortgage bonds mid other creditors a plan of debt maturity extension and that sucli plan incorporate provision for satisfaction and dis- of the proper lien moiu and. thereafter lo xtend the maturity dates or the suid bonds, and postpon. payment of the unsecured debts and terminate, unless earned, the accrual of fixed interest on the said consolidated mortgage and unsecured debts Plaintiff believes that a 1'i-g-e majority cf the bondholders will join in such a plan to extend the maturity of the consolidated moitgatje bonds, cease normal accrual of unearned charges and restore the solvency of the is the sole purpose of the A recess wfi.s dec.ared while plaintiff's counsel considered several mat lei.s of a technical nature which nad developed in'the early stages of tlie hearing. At the reconvening of the couit session and before Judge ixjiig had ruled on the inoiioii, Attorney Stewart presented another motion to Ihe court asking for the dis- inissal of equity procetMlings, without prejudice and without coat of any party, except Pro- thouqtary's costs, whicli were borne by the plaintiff, In his complaint for a primary' receivership, Tale set.s forth that he pos.se.sses a provable claim against the Huntingdon Broad Top Mountain Hail road Coal Company in the amount of 'plus interest at the rate of 5 per cent per annum from October 1, 1930. This amount i.s tne pet Uon sets'foilh.

He charges in his petition further thai Ihe defendant company has ciefa tiled in the pay- of interest on the fivt $1,000 bond-s by him. Talc also points it that there are outstanding, now due and un- 4 a.i aggregate of $1,497,000 under the trust indenture of 1865, ait of which bonds are now long past due and payable. By the terms of the mortgage indenture, it is pointed oul in the complaint, "all the ssi.es, incomes and of company hereafter derived to them from the use or travel on their said road or any part thereof." were hypothecated to the trustees of the bondholders a.s security for the repayment of the bonds issued thereunder. It is clairiec' in the complaint that the moneys so derived were applied to the payment of current debts and recently incurred unsecured obligations, and as a. result the rights oC creditors ave impaired.

By applying funds to the payment of current debts instead of reducing the mortgage debt the company has disableO itself fiom the performance ol its obligation, Tale charges. Tate further charges thai the company is now hopelessly insolvent and has been for sixteen years, during which time the equity of the stockholders, as" represented by book assets, in the amount of $3.371,500 has disappeared and Uie unsecured creditors claims of $993,629 have disappeared from Ihe hoolv assets of the company, to the The defendant company's bus'ness hns heen operated at a siib-tBittia' loss during years.
