ed States circuit court this morning
Judge jenkins appointed two receivers for
the Northern Pacific to succeed Aessrs.
Rouse, Oakes and Payne who resigned to
avoid ap appearance before Judge Han
ford of Seattle, Wash, on Oct ,, to an
swer to the charges of malfeasance filed
against them in that court by Brayton
Ives, the president of the road. The new
receivers named by Judge Jenkins are:
Edwin w. McHenry Of St. Paul, who has
Tor years been chief engineer of the
Northern Pacific, and Frank G. Bigelow,
president of the First National Bank of
Milwaukee. Judge Jenkins said he would
not appoint third receiver for the road,
but tnat he might do so later if it should
be found necessary for the proper ad-
mlnistration of the trust. The attorneys
representing the Farmers Loan and Trust
Company nominated Thomas II. Lowry,
the street railway magnate of Minneap-
oils and president of the Minneapolis and
Sault Ste Marie road for appointment as
one of the receivers. They said that the
Minneapolis and 500 road is a part of the
Canadian Pacific system, competitor
Of the Northern Pacific, and although Mir.
Lowry had agreed to resign the presi-
dency of the 500 road in the event of his
appointment as receiver, he could not
consider his candidacy Mr.. Walker, re-
ceiver Of the Santa Fe system, was also
proposed as a receiver.
The new receivers represent the same
line Of policy that has been followed by
Messrs. Oakes, Rouse and Payne.
Mr. BigeloW is one of Receiver Payne,s
bondsmen, and is the co-stockholder with
waukee Street Railway Company and the
Wisconsin Telephone Company. Edwin
w. McHenry was appointed chief engi-
neer Of the Northern Pacific system under
the Willard regime.
There is much discomfort among the
bOndholders over the appointments.
