Appointment Will Come Tomorrow After weeks of effort the United States Mail Steamship Company seeks receivership
After weeks of fruitless effort to interest capital in the United States Mail Steamship Company, officials submitted yesterday to a receivership. The filing in Federal District Court charged the company with more than $100,000 in coal debts to Berwind-White Coal Mine Company. Judge Manton adjourned to 10 o'clock tomorrow morning for a hearing with the United States Shipping Board to be represented and a receiver named. The Shipping Board had seized nine ships and the Mayers family sought finance to buy and liquidate debts. Claims from the New York Dry Dock Company and others were discussed as creditors pursued collection, while the Mail Line withdrew and then refiled its request for a receiver when reorganized funding failed to materialize. William Greenough and Bainbridge Colby represented the Mail, stating insolvency was not proven, and Nicoll acted for stockholders and creditors. The sale of the nine ships remained under consideration as the hearing progressed.
