Morgan and com- wvany and controlling a great fleet of eamships plying between the United $ates and Europe, was placed in the hands of a receiver today by the fed- ¢éral court.

J Mr, Franklin was placed under a $50,000 bond and empowered to con- tinue tie business of the company. The bill of complaint was filed by the New York Trust Co. against the Inter- gational Moreantile Marine, the Fi- delity Trust company, and the Inter- nafonal Navigation company. “The bill of complaint claims de- fault of interest on $52,744,000 4 i-2 per cent. collateral trust bonds. Under Morgan’s Leadership. The mammoth fleet that flies the lug of the International Mercantile Marine company was brought togeth- ar by a syndicate of American and British capitolists under the lcader- ship of tho late J. Pierpont Morgan. The corporation, in iis present form. was chartered by the state of New Jexsey in 1902 and succeeded the International Navigation company, Which had then been In existence for rine years. One hundred and nineteen steam- ships, flying the fiags of three nations ~-Great Britain, the United States and Belgium—were operated by the com- pany according to the latest availabls figures. They represented a gross tonnage of 1,071,655 tons and thers were then building eighteen more ships with 208,000 tons capacity. Some of these ships have been since com- pleted. The company owned the White Star liner Titanic, which sank with the loss of more than 1,600 lives in the Atlantic three years ago, and kgr sister ship, the Olympic, one of the largest vessels in the world. Funded Debt $70,000 000. More than $100,000,000 of the com- pany’'s authorized capital stock of $120,000,000 has'been issued. J. P. organ & company are large stock- iolders. Mr. Morgan is a director of the company. The company’s funded debt is approximately $70,000,000 and 18 made up of two issues of bonds, the rx issue on which interest as . heen defaulted and an issne of $17,882,000 first mortgage five per ¢ent. bonds of the International Nav- igation company. The interest on the $52,744,000 bond ’};""e was due Oct, 1, but a_savi élause in' the bonds gave the compa six months grace in which to make the pidyment. This term of grate expired April 1, last Thursday. Operated by Subsidiaries. No steamships were directly operat- ¢d in the transatlantic scrvice by the cofipany, their operation being Teft to™ subsidiary corporations. The com- pany directed the .operation of the ‘White Star line, the Red ‘Star line, the American line, the Atlantic Trans. port company, the Leyland line anid the Dominion line. The last company should not be confused with the OId Dbminion line which operates coast wise steamers between this city and Virginia ports. W. W. Miller, of counsel for the bondholders committee, issued a state- ment in which he said: “It is under- stood that in the event the receiver- ship will only relate to the properties directly owned by the International Mercantile Marine company, such as the American line and the Red Stav line. It will not in any way effect the so-called English subsidiary compan- ies such as the White Star line,«tihe Atlantic Transport line the Dominion lime or the Leyland line. If a receiv- ership is appointed it will not in any way whatsoever interfere with or disturb the operation of the company or its subsidiary companies.” AUSTRIA TRYING TO ' STARVE MONTENEGRO Dual Monarchy Endeavoring to Cut 3" Small State From all Commu- nication With ' Putside World.
