R[gEvEgSA|P DENIED
IN THE ROSS T. CHEW CASE YES
TERDAY By CIRCUIT JUDGE
THAYER MELVIN.
Mr.. CHEW CONGRATULATED
~ His Friends Upon the Favorable
Termination of the Proceedings
Against Him i'm the Circuit Court.
An Abstract of the Respondents
Reply to the Bill of the Complain
ant.

Judge Thayer Melvin yesterday rem
dared a decision in Part Two, OF the
Circuit Court, in the matter of the APP
plication of the Wallace Wall Paper
Company for a receiver for the business
OF Ross T. Chew. The order which was
handed down refuses the application.
In passing upon the petition for a re-
ceiyer and an injunction. the court
dwelt al some length upon the case.
Judge Melvin inclined to the view that
a bill in chancery was not good when an
application was only for the appoint
ment of a receiver. Such appointment
must be incidental to some other relief
that a court of equity could properly
give. The court did not determine this
question, however.
Judge Melvin further expressed a
leaning toward the belief that a creditor
who had not reduced his claim to a
Judgment, had no legal right to ask the
appointment of a receiver. The court
ADMITTED that it was not perfectly clear
upon this point, and there was no at
tempt made to give a definite decision
upon it.
The court directed attention to the
fact that nearly all the important aver
ments of the bill, made upon informa-
ton and belief were fatty denied by
Chew. Judge Melvin took the ground
that where such allegations are definite
ly denied, other proof is necessar- for
a ~receivership to be established. The
court said the petition for an injunction
would fall with the disposition OF the
receivership question. The decision
leaves VIM. Bailey & Son free to exc
cute upon the Judgment against Chew,
which was given several days ago.
Mr.. Chew was congratulated by his
Afriends Upon the termination of the re-
\ceivership proceedings, and his frineds
Say that If permitted 70 do so he will be
able to pay off all just claims against
him and continue his business.
In his answer to the bill of the COM
plainant the respondent entered a gen.
eral denial to the allegations set forth
in the compliments bill, after saying
that there is no equity on the face of
the bill and that the prayer should not
be granted upon such a state of facts as
were alleged. Without waving the
benefit of such demurrer, Mr.. Chew's an
Yer says that it is true that he is in
ebteo to the plaintiff. but that his in
dness falls short of the sum claim
ed by at least $500; and that his indebt-

MARKET DOES NOT RALLY
The Prospect of a Decrease In the
Surplus Bank Reserve Hinders
Stocks From Raliying.
American Securities
Low in London.

The failure OF the market to rally yee-
terday does not change the fact that such
movement must occur very soon else
the short interest will be in very risky
position. A recovery is scarcely antici-
pated today in the face of a probable de-
crease of seven or eight millions In the
surplus reserve for the week. 10 would
seem best to cover shorts on further
slight recession today and take on a
moderate long line of the railroads, par
ticularly Burlington, Rhode Island,
Union Pacific, Atcheson preferred,
Southern Railway and Louisville and
Nashville. 1t should be borne in mind
that while surplus bank reserves will be
reduced to very low ebb by this weeks
further loss, this will be all the stronger
reason why the Secretary of the Treasury
will be persuaded to come to the rescue
as he can we'll do by paying the $50, ,000,-
600 on premiums for converted Govern
ment bonds out of the treasury balance,
rather than out of the funds already on
deposit with the banks. The tobacco
shares will work lower.
In London the market for American
securities is somewhat weaker. Declines
ranged from 10 to IA below American
prices but there is no disposition to sell.
The inertia is due to the apathy at New
