The situation was outlined in court by Loomis Johnson, attorney for the receivers. He announced that the dis missal would not preclude the filing of a similar suit, and that such a suit might be refiled after the liability of the Frisco on the $26,000,000 bond Is sue had been determined. The receivers desired to contest the liability of the $26,000,000 bond issue and felt that to do this effectively they should dismiss the $14,000,000 restitution suit. They felt that they could not con sistently claim the road was not liable for the bonds if they claimed the of ficers of the read had exceeded their authority in making the purchase of the St. Louis, Brownsville and Mexico road, which included a guaranty of the bond issue. If the bond issue were illegal there was nothing to re store to the Frisco on the part of the directors. The receivers filed the $14,000,000 suit Jan. 22, 1914, making ten men de fendants. These included B. F. Yoa kum, former president of the Frisco board, and B. L. Winchell of Chicago. All the Argus. news all the time The END $14,000,000 SUIT AGAINST FRISCO HEADS St. Louis, Nov. 13.
