will not be the case during the coming
winter or at any time hereafter.
1T is a fact that there is a plan to en-
large the scope Of the company to do a
casualty insurance business, but of this
Mr.. Williams surely should not complain,
as the plan has been adopted as a prom
Using method for increasing profits.
Friends of the company, with the object
of carrying out this plan. have secured
control of about $500 OF the 1900 shares of
the company. 1t will not be possible to
engage in the new business without addi-
tional capital and all stockholders have
been requested either to subscribe their
proportion to the 500. 900 necessary or to
sell their stock at a price considerably
above the present market quotation. This
has seemed 10 be the only fair and equita-
BILE way to accomplish the new move.
There is undoubtedly field for the
new business, and the title insurance field
is SO crowded that it is very difficult to
make it alone profitable. The company
could carry on a casualty insurance busi-
ness without adding anything to its pres
ent expenses.
Il believe that there are no grounds
whatever for Mr.. Williams suit"

REPRESENTED A DEAD MAN.
Joseph Green Convicted of Violating
the Pension Laws.

the Pension LAWS.
ored, was yesterday convicted in Criminal
Court No. of violating the United States
Pension laws. The accused was charged
with representing himself to be Joseph
Also, deceased Union soldier, and draw
ing pension in his name.
The original Joseph Also who died at
Suitland. Md, in 1894, as a slave was known
as JEFF Whitney. and belonged to a man
named Inglehart in Anne Arundel County,
Nd. In January. 1865, he ran away from
Inglehart and came to Washington, and
later worked as laborer at Camps Haiti
and Krause. In March. 1865, he enlisted
in Company c. Forty-fifth Colored United
States Infantry, and served until December
u Of that year. when he was mustered
out at Philadelphia. His discharge from
the service dated November 4, 1865, be-
cause he was then sick in the hospital.
When he left the army Also came back
to Washington and again went to work
at Camp Krause, where he remained from
the spring of 1866 until the summer of
1867. During this time it was also shown
that the accused Green was at work at
Camp krause.
The testimony showed that Also had
given his discharge from the army to
Sophie Simms Carroll, colored, for safe
keeping and that with his consent, in 1881,
she loaned it to Joseph Green, in order
that he might obtain work at the Navy
Yard. When Also died. in 1894. Green
FASTENED to his home at Sutland, Nd, and
enquired of his children IL they had any OF
his Soldier" papers and was told they
had not.
In his own defence Green testified that
he served as a Union soldier during the
latter part Of the civil war and that his
eyes were injured in the great explosion
at Petersburg, Va, in the blowing up of
Fort HILL" Unfortunately for the inter-

PETITION FOR RECEIVER
Suit Filed Against the District Title
Insurance Company.
w. Mosby Williams, q Stakeholder,
Declares That the Corporation Has
Since It's Organization - Presf-
dent Newton Makes Statement.

W. Mosby Williams, a stakeholder in the
District Title Insurance Company, yester-
day filed suit in the Supreme Court OF the
District against that corporation, asking
that receiver be appointed to take charge
of its assets and wind up its business af-
fairs. 1t is stated that the capital stock of
the title company is $3.50 900, divided into
$500 shares, valued at $40 each.
In his complaint Mr.. Williams alleged
that the District Title Company has been
operated at a loss since it's organization
and that at present its capital stock is
greatly impaired. The assets, he states,
consist Of the plant, real estate records,
and the north half of original lot g. in
square 252. which is subject to trust to
secure $35, 900. The assets, in fact, it il
alleged, are far below the value of the
stock.
Mr.. Williams declared that he is inform
ed that 1t is the intention of the title CON-
pany to discontinue its service at the Of
fee of the Recorder of Deeds, which serv-
ice, he alleges, is absolutely necessary to
the proper conduct of the business of the
corporation. He also states that he is In
formed that It is the purpose of the Of
fcers Of the company to endeavor to ac-
Quire the stock OF the minority stock
holders. at nominal prices, by threats OF ac-
ton to force a sale of the assets of the or
ganization. In the event that this is ac-
complished, Mr.. Williams states. he is in
formed the holders of the stock intend to
enter into any form of insurance. surety,
and guaranty business without regard to
the present charter powers of the District
Title Company. Mr.. Williams alleges that
he is the owner Of five shares of the stock
of the District Title Company, and states
that 1t is useless for it to continue bust
ness as now conducted, at a daily los-.
with no prospect of improvement. Attor-
ney John Ridout represents the complain
ant.
President Newton OF the District Title
Company, when seen yesterday regarding
the suit OF Mr.. Williams, said:
The company is entirely solvent and It
is increasing its business and cutting down
its expenses steadily. For several months
during the past year, FOR the first time in
Its history, 1t has paid its expenses in full
and had a slight surplus During the past
three months expenses have exceeded rev.
enues slightly, but this has been during a
very dull period and I am confident that II
