Atchison Committee Wants Rain.
hart and McOook Removed.
Said to Be Unfit to MANAGE n,
Business.
Reorganization Committee Ho,al
Another Meeting.

Shortly after noon to-day Wall str..
was surprised by the annoupcemsr
that the Atchison Protective Reorran,
zation Committee. of which. Theodo,l
w. Myers is Chairman. has written p
President King, of the Union TruJ
Company, trustees under all the morn
cages. requesting him to take some A
ton for the removal Of Receivers Rel,
hart and McCook on the ground tn,
they are irresponsible and unfit to hol
the position or manage the business.
When President King was seen n
garding. this request he stated he h,
nothing to say for publication. 1t Is n,
ported that the letter has been refervl1
to Messrs. Wheeler. Pecktam & Dixu
counsel for the Union Trust Compam.
Col John J. McCook. one OF the M
ceivers named above. was seen at NJ
office in the Equitable Building sod
after the news of the action Of uuI
Myers Committee was known. but
declined to make any statement. Pred
dent Reinhart Is downtown. but coul}
not be found in his own or the officet
the receivers.
The statement. embodied in the n
quest of the Myers Committee for N
moval of the receivers, to the effect IN
Col. McCook is irresponsible and UNI
to hold the position of receiver. is n
garded by financiers and lawyers 4
absurd. as his legal ability and integrt<
are of the highest order.
1t is generally thought that in MAXI
this statement, SO far as 1t concerl
Mr.. McCook, the Myers Committ
has overshot the mark. and that II VI
only weaken their cause. 80
As to Mr.. Reinhart, the opinion Is th
under the present circumstances
could retire without injury to the affah(
Of the road.
In connection with President Reinhsd
and Expert Accountant Little's report
a rumor was current in Wall street eir,|
cles that the former was being mads|
something Of victim by the Reorganiza.]
ton Committee.
The latter. through Secretary Kebts.l
stated early this morning that copy,
of Little's report mad been sent oiMrI
Reinhart. Al
Inquiry at the latters Office. As wei
the statement that not a line Of Mrl
Little's report had been seen by Nd
Reinhart or anyaef his friends.
Secretary Kobbe persisted in his state
ment that the report had been sent 4
Reinhart. but declined to give any de|
tails of how ii was sent, and the Rein
hart party continued to reply that the1
had not seen II, until the idea got abou(
Wall street that there was u ''darky \
the wood pile" and that Reinhart va,
being fooled.
In connection with this there was
rumor to the effect that q mistake hsl
been found In Little's report, Wild
rectified made the charges In the q
iginal report OF over-statements Of
come. &c. fizzle out to q great extenI
and that the long delay In furnishin|
the Atchison President with q copy WI
owing to the fact that the whole repcf
had to be rewritten.
At l o'clock Secretary Kobbe WI
hart still adhered to the statement thu
he had not seen any copy of the Littl
report. Mr.. Kobbe still gave the in1
preston that the report had been se1
to Reinhart. but again refused to CIV
any details.
When told the rumors about tho stred
and pressed for a definite statement, III
said that as a matter of fact there hac
been an unexpected delay in getting ON
the copy, and that II had not been com
pleted to send to Mr.. Reinhart. but thai
he expected to have II ready any u1inuti
and would himself take 1t to Mr.. Rein
hart 4.
Mr. Kobbe said that the report would
be ar, an exact Eopy of Ne one Pre xestsT.
day, with some add"nda of schedules
of an explana tory character.i III
Another cause Of delay. Mr.. Kobes
said. was that Mr.. Little would only
allow his own typewriter to handle ne
matter. as he was very particular ~ Y
who saw the report. Mr.. Kobbe also
said that he expected. at the latess Y
have the copy in Remnants hands py I
o'clock. SsA
AT 2 o'clock this afternoon. the Becr-
ganization Committee met and was Y
session an hour. At the end Of that TIM
Secretary Kobbe made the folloWlnt
statement for the Committee: ..k

tie desired to further consult the boot
tain item in which the printed report
