THE AFFAIRS OF THE PIQUA CLUB.
A MOTION TO COMPEL THE RECEIVER TO SELL
THE CLUB ERTY-CONFIICTING


STATEMENTS OF COUNSEL
The complications which have arisen over the
appointment of Senator Jacob A. Cantor the re-
celver of the Piqua Club Association. which he has
been managing ever since under the authority Of
the Court. were brought before Judge Beekman. In
Supreme Court. Chambers. yesterday upon the mo-
ton of Z. VI. Shepard. who represents judgment
creditors for about $2S 600 the Court direct
Mr.. Cantor sell the clubs property as soon as
possible. that the creditors may secure some OF
their claims; also for stay of all proceedings
on the part Of the receiver until the appeal from the
order appointing him be heard by the General
Term of the Court.
Counsel urged that the receiver was selling the
very goods on which the judgment creditors held
liens and that the condition Of the club was worse
to-day than II was the time the receiver was APP
pointed. Eugene Van Schalck. who represented
the receiver said that the affidavit upon which the
motion based made up OF lies. He con-
tended that instead of the affairs Of the club being
in a worse condition than they were when Senate
Cantor was appointed. they were much better. and
that new members constantly coming in. The
salary list, which was formerly $4,000 a month, Is
now only $500 month"; and the daily expenses
are only $751; while the receipts about $40 and the
difference is than made up by the large
amounts OF dues that are coming in. The club has
now about 200 members. and only last week about
fifty more applications made.
Mr. White. on behalf OF some OF me stocKhoiders
declared that George 4. Baker. who made all the
receny Admitted that u" the judgments he'd BY
creditors were worth 100 cents on the donar. "A
Of ec n Ss a 1T they held s
ments against the club they did not wish 10 paruc-
pate in the motion.
Mr. Shepard in replying, remarked that ne might ,,t
ask the permission OF the Court to bring SUITS
against the receiver personally to recover the claims
against the club.
Judge Beekman reserved his decision.
