Cause Of this Failure OF Kansas Investment
Company


TOPEKA, May 4.-Judge G. G. Foster
of the United States district court has
appointed G. o. Knowles, 2. G. Noel and
Bennett r. Wheeler receivers for the
Investment Trust company of America,
doing business in this CITY, The concern
is a large dealer in investment bonds
and among the directors are half dozen
New England capitalists. The adver-
tisements Of the company state its au-
thorized capital is 100000; paid in cap
ly to the company, Bennett r. Wheeler
being secretary. The president is H. E.
Ball. Wheeler says the outstanding de-
benture bonds of over 81, 0O0, 900 are am
ply secured by real estate.
The liabilities of the Investment Trust
company of America are admitted by
the members of the company to be ST.
SOC, 900, but 1t claims there are securities
to the amount Of 100000, consisting of
lands, etc.
The immediate cause of the crisis, 1t Is
evident, was the filing Of a suit in the
district court here last week by attor-
neys who represent $4,000 of eastern
bonds upon which interest was default
ed. This suit brought William Lloyd
Garrison here Mr. Garrison said today:
II had hoped that receivers would not
be necessary, but have determined that
the best interests of the eastern bond
holders will be best served by the ap-
pointment of friendly receivers, and
have consented to their appointment.
The appointment was made to avoid
suits Of numerous small bondholders
and to avoid an unfriendly receiver

ing man, Guy Lindsey was horse
whipped on the stage in full view of the

James was playing Othello and Linds-
ley Iago. James was dumbfounded. He
stood speechless on the stage, while
Lindsey. recognizing his assailant, rose
to his feet, stammering to James: This
Is Georgia Of st. Louis" while the audi
ence was wild with excitement. With
out the least interference being made
the woman continued to belabor Linds-
ley about the head and shoulders Final
ly some one rang the curtain down and a
policeman rushed in and placed the
woman under arrest The play pro-
ceeded with the rest of that act omitted.
After the play Lindsey said he had

able to get rid of her attentions. She
said Lindsey was formerly her lover,
and that they had arranged to be mar
ried, but the time was never set.
Under the influence of his mother and
his brother he had discarded her His
people were very aristocratic and
wealthy residents of st. Louis and did
not like her because she was a country
girl originally. His scorn had so en-
ragged her that she came directly from
st. Louis to administer this fiogging.
She showed a number of letters written
to her by Lindsey, the earlier of which
are full of love, but the later ones tell
her that they must break off their rela-
tions.

The 1ethodist Brethren In General Conf er
enc lStili Discussing the Admission OF
Women-Decision Expected Today

CLEVELAND, O., May 4.-The advo-
Gates and opponents of the proposition
to admit women delegates were pltted
against each other today in the Metho-
dist general conference in what Will
probably be decisive battle. The COM
mittee Of thirty-one on eligibility sent
a majority report in favor of the women
and a minority report. These were de-
bated warmly and will be further con-
sidered tomorrow. Each side claims
success. The standing committees or
ganized in the afternoon Will be IN ses-
sion every afternoon during the confer
ence.
The thirteen standing committees and
a special committee on Epworth league
organized permanently this afternoon.
and will begin work tomorrow. Among
them is the committee which will con-
slider the advisability Of having more
bishops. and that which will make rec
ommendation on the proposition to miti-
gate the severity of the rule governing
the itineracy of the ministers.
Bishop Foss said to the Associated
Press agent today: II believe that more
of the bishops than not think our num-
ber should be increased by three OF
four" The minority. however. is very
strong. My idea is If more bishops are
chosen, is not to make bishops of India
China, Africa, etc, but to have them
bishops in a general sense, so that we
can devote what time Is necessary to
this country and certain of us go to
foreign lands for what time is needed
to be devoted there"
The supporters Of the women dele
gates claim that they have certainly
won the victory and that the final vote
will seat the women. Their opponents
while they concede that the other side
has had a large majority of the dele
gates to start. declare their belief to be

pear in person before the committee
and give the facts desired, or even reply
by written communication, would be
promptly met and would suffice. Messrs.
Sherman, Gray and Gordon supported
Mr.. Hill in this position. the former
reading the statute providing that any
committee of the house or senate might
call on the secretary of the treasury for
any data he might have as to the busi-
ness of the treasury department. or
might call on him to appear in person.
Mr. Hill continued at length. 1t be-
came apparent that Mr.. Hill was speak
ing mainly to consume time, and the
galleries became thinned and but few
senators remained in their seats.
Mr.. Vest entered the chamber and in
terrupted Mr.. Hill to secure, as he
stated, some information as to the
business relations that existed in the
bond issue between the treasury depart
ment and j. p. Morgan"

he said. ''As far as they concern any
allegation against the integrity of Sec
He then stated his opinion that Mr.. Car
Isle. as trustee, should not have al
lotted the remainder of the defaulted
bond bids to Morgan e. Co., but should
have again offered them for sale, and
thus allow the government the advan-
tage Of a raise in the price which re-
suited after the bonds had been on the
market few days.
Mr.. Vest thought the allotment to
Morgan e. Co. of the untitled bonds a
most extraordinary proceeding.
Mr.. Hill explained that the Morgan
bid was regular and in true business
form, and it's acceptance was quite
proper. While the Republican side was
deserted, Mr.. Mills unexpectedly re-
quested Mr.. Hill to allow him to move
an adjournment. stating that he be-
lieved Mr.. Hill to be quite tired, having
spoken for two hours.
Mr.. Hill acquiesced and the motion
carried.
Mr.. Lodge and Mr.. Chandler and other
Republicans hurriedly entered from the
CLOAK rooms and made an effort to de-
feat the motion, by a call for a quorum
and yea and nay vote. Both were
refused, and on division the motion
stood 13 to IL in favor of adjourning.
