RECEIVERS ATTACKED
Atchison Committee Wants Rein.
hart and McCook Removed.
Said to Be Unfit to Manage IN
Business.
Reorganization Committee Holdl
Another Meeting.

Shortly after noon to-day Wall s,r.,
was surprised by the announcsm.,
that the Atchison Protective Reorsan
zation Committee. Of which Tbeodo,
w. Myers is Chairman, has written
President King. of the Union Tru,
Company, trustees under all the NOR
cages. requesting him to take soma a,
ton for the removal Of Receivers Rel,
hart and McCook on the ground tn,
they are irresponsible and unfit to ho,
the position or manage the business.
When President King was seen 4
garding this request he stated he M
nothing to say for publication. 1t is n
ported that the letter has been referl
to Messrs. Wheeler. Peckham & Din
counsel for the Union Trust CompanyI
Col. John J. McCook. one of the n
ceivers named above. was seen at
office in the Equitable Building sd
after the news of the action Of d
Myers Committee was known, but
declined to make any statement. Pre}
dent Reinhart is downtown. but cod
not be found in his own or the officeI
the receivers.
The statement. embodied in the \
quest of the Myers Committee for 4
moval of the receivers, to the effect It'd
Col. McCook is irresponsible and uni
to hold the position OF receiver, is II
garded by fnanciers and lawyers I
absurd. as his legal ability and integrfl
are of the highest order.
1t is generally thought that in mako
this statement. SO far as 1t concerI
Mr.. McCook. the Myers Commltts
has overshot the mark, and that 1t uil
only weaken their cause.
As to Mr. Reinhart. the opinion Is thi
under the present circumstances
could retire without injury to the affaj
of the road.
In connection with President Reinha5
and Expert Accountant Little's report
rumor was current in Wall street cid
cles that the former was being mad
something of a victim by the ReorganiI,I
ton Committee.
The latter, through Secretary Kobt}
stated early this morning that a cop]
of Little's report mad been sent to Nd
Reinhart.
Inquiry at the latter's office, as wei
as at the offices OF the receivers. elcits
the statement that not a line Of Nj
Little's report had been seen by Iii
Reinhart or any of his friends.
Secretary Kobbe persisted in his state
ment that the report had been sent 4
Reinhart. but declined to give any d.
tails of how it was sent, and the Rein
hart party continued to reply that the
had not seen 1t, until the idea got abou
Wall street that there was ''darky !
the wood pile and that Reinhart wa
being fooled.
III connection with this there was
rumor TO the effect that a mistake ha
been found in Little's report, whit
rectified made the charges in the d
iginal report of over-statements Of i
come. &C., tizZle out to a great exten
and that the long delay in furnishln
the Atchison President with a copy W,
owing to the fact that the whole repo
had to be rewritten.
At / o'clock Secretary Kobbe wa
again seen. He was told that Mr.. Rel
hart still adhered to the statement thl
he had not seen any copy of the Lift
report. Mr.. Koobe still gave the Ia
preston that the report had been ser
to Reinhart. but again refused to CIV
any details.
When told the rumors about the stree
and presseo for definite statement. D
said that az a matter of fact there hai
been an unexpected delay In getting gu
the copy. and that 1t had not been com
pleted to send to Mr.. Reinhart. but thai
he expected to have II ready any minutl
and would himself take 1t to Mr.. Rein
hart =.
/, Mr. Kobbe said that the report woulg
be an exact copy of the one presented
day, with some add"nda of schedule
of an expld natory character.
Another cause of delay. Mr.. koooe
said was that Mr.. Little would only
allow his own typewriter to handle ne
matter. as he was very particular as -
who saw the report. Mr., Kobbe also
said that he expected. at the latest Y
have the copy In Remnants hands @
o'clock.

ganization Committee met and was y
