Every Portion of tho Richmond Terminal
system Earning More Than Expenses.
New York, Aug. lO.-I Speciall-P
dent 1nman, of the Richmond Terminal
Company, today mado the following
statement in reply to the charges that
company's system had declared diyi-
dends in periods when the operations CT
tho roads showed oeficit in meeting
the fixed charges:
lin reference to tho statements that
have recently been mado in regard to
the financial condition of the Richmond
Terminal Company and of several di-
visions OF the property, have to say
that there is no portion of system
which consists OF tho Richmond and
Danville, Georgia Central and East
tennessee which is not earning its
fixed charges. When the detailed re-
ports now in preparation are completed
and given to the public. it will be seen
that statements which have been made
are misleading, and that the Richmond
terminal Company and its separate d.
visions are entirely solvent. Each Of
these companies owns security Of un-
questionable value, largely in excess Of
Its outstanding Indebtedness"

Clark county Prohibition central COM
mittee, ond one other member, A. T..

over tho State. The trouble grows out
Of fight in tho late State convention

of resignation charges tho Prohibition
party with being an annex OF the

measures revolutionary and positively
detrimental to tho best interests OF the

A Receiver Asked For.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, May IA petition ask
ing for the appointment of a receiver for
the St. Louis and San Francisco railway
company was fled in the United States cir
cult court this morning by Hitchcock &
Finkelburg, representing the Eastern stock
holders of the Frisco. The grounds on
which the appointment OF receiver is
asked are:
/. That the Atchison, Topeka and Santa
F'e and the st. Louis, Kansas City and
Colorado are competitors of the Frisco, yet
they are owned and controlled by the same
contrary to the constitution and statutes Of
the state of Missouri.
2 That the Atchison claims that there is
a large Indebtedness due to it from the
the Frisco, whereas the complainants be-
lieve that if q true accounting was had the
Atchison would be indebted TO the Frisco.
3. That to secure more complete control
OF the road by acquiring a greater amount
of preferred stock the directors propose TO
issue $50, 000,000 additional of preferred
stock and an equal amount of bonds.
The petition also asks that the officers Of
the Frisco be restrained from giving the
Santa Fe any bonds and from paying the
Indebtedness claimed to be due.
Judge Thayer received the petition and
fixed May 2 as the day for the hearing.
The meeting which was to have been
held on May 4 to take action
on the proposition to issue $50. coo of
new bonds has been adjourned until May
IS, so that this petition may be heard and
passed upon. The Atchison owns 10000 OF
263, 5s3 shares of Frisco stock.
