I.usk, a receiver for the 'Frisco railroad, today was directed by Circuit Judge San born to bring restitution suit against cer tain directors and former directors. Judge Sanborn denied the petition of Villllam W. Niles, a 'Frisco stockholder living In Now York, that he bo permitted to bring suit, but John D. Johnson ami Loomls Johnson, who represented Mr. Niles In tho arguments before the court lust Monday, were appointed counsel for the receivers. They were directed, In the name of the receivers, to bring and prosecute ''such suit or suits against such parties in relation to the matters set forth In the petition ofJMr. Niles and in tho peti tion of the receivers,'' us In their opin ion, "can be successfully maintained." James V. Lusk, chairman of tho re ceivers, Was Invested with cxcluslvo charge for tho receivers of the conduct of tho suits. After reviewing the legal problems pre vented by the petition of Niles for per mission to file and by the application of tho receivers as to whether they should file suit, Judgo Sanborn said that peti tions disclose facts sufficient to entitle the proper complainants to Institute a suit against somo of tho former offtcluls of the Frisco arid to have a trial of the charge. "Tho receivers," continued the deci sion, "ought to bring tho suit untcss there is somo persuasive objection to this course. It Is conceded that nono c.f the receivers or none of their counsel weio in any way interested In the tran sactions challenged, by these petitions, but it Is contended that tho receivers ought not to .bring the suit because two of them weta pff.lccrs.qf the Frisco company though they are 'ribt so now jand ar friends of tho former officials of the. company who may be mado de jftadants and because the counsel for the receivers 'haVo been acquaintances and friends of the proposed defendants. But this objection Is not persuasive. "Tho receivers have never refused to bring this or uny milts that could prob ably be maintained or to discharge any dilty Imposed on them."
