NEWSPAPER IN TROUBLE.
Fine work on the Part Of the manager
ofthe Chicago Hernl1.

efthe Chicago Heral1.
Cuoaso October 1.-THE bill filed 6y
". Scott Smith, OF Washington, against tue
Chicago Herald Company, for receiver,
makes some startling allegations. IL sets
forth that the capital stock OF the company
is SIsO. 600. lie owns ten shares OF paid up
stock. of 500 each. Eight hundred ana
thirty shares are outstanding. The COM
panys personal property Is worth $2o,OOo,
and its good will, etc, 10000, II the busi-
ness is honestly managed. A. +. Hatcn IL
president, ]. w. Scott secretary ana treas
urer, F. w. Rice, o. F. Adds and "; ".
Eaton are directors, but Eaton has long
since ceased to act. In July, 1882 batcn,
Scott and Rice, being majority OF the direc-
tors assessed the outstanding stock SO per
cent, each of them then owning but two
shares of stock They censpired to get the
rest OF the stock by this means, claiming
that this assessment was necessary Tor the
CORPORATION to carry ON its business, and
could not otherwise pay its debts. These
statements were false, and put forward 70
make the stockholders relinquish their
stock. The Herald has been an administra-
ton paper, and consequently got
large amount of Government patron.
ape-$3,OOO worth, at least-and Its
patronage was almost wholly among
supporters Of the administration. To fur
ther their scheme and compel these OH:
Gals to give up their stock, knowing Il
they had Il they would lose the good will
of the Government and gratuitously the
papers patronage fell of and the stock Is
greatly depressed. Four hundred shares
have been surrendered continuously to the
conspirators, who now have 700 shares, all
secured at grossly inadequate prices. They
have only tried to collect the 80 per cent.
assessment from the stockholders who re-
fused to give their stock to Hatch. The
bill states that on the 10th of August the
mortgages were executed at 10000 to ID.
w. Wolsley and $40, 900 to Hatch; that this
Indebtedness Is fictitious, and was con.
tracted to further deprecaLe the value
of the stock and compel the surrender.
These MORTGAGES were never recorded.
Scott told the complainant that unless he
would accept 10 cents on the dollar for HIS
stock the mortgages would be foreclosed and
the stock rendered valueless. The business
of the corporation has been confided to Scott,
who has been reckless, extravagant and
claims the corporation has expended $751;
600 since May, 1881, of which 1000 has
been paid for editorial work and correspon.
dence. In reality not over half this amount
has been expended. Scott also says that
since the fourth of last month the COM
papy spent SIS, 900 more than its income.
The bill prays that the owner OF these
mortgages be restrained from foreclosing,
that the court appoint receiver to take
charge of the property to prevent waste,
and that an account be taken OF amount
the officers of the company may own OF ii,
and that they pay whatever they have
wrongfully used or appropriated Of il
money.
