RECEIVER ASKED
 FOR LOAN COMPANY  Interstate Building & Loan As-
 Sociation Defendant ALLEGED TO BE lNSOLVENT Attorney for Defendant Says HIIl Is Filed Under MisapprehensIon,
 But Company Will Court
 Investigation.

Atlanta. October 2S.-A bill has been filed in the United States Circuit Court asking for a receiver for the Interstate Building and Loan Association of Colum- bus, Ga. The bill was filed upon appli- cation of M. P. Wells of Edgefield S. O.. and others on the charge that the asso- ciation Is insolvent The assets of the concern are stated to be about sS5O00O. The officers of the association claim this amount more than covers the liabilities. The Interstate Association has stockhold- CTS from Virginia to Texas.
 Other stockholders have filed supple mental bill asking for an examination of the accounts of the concern. Anciliary bills will be filed at once in all states interested. Judge Pardee of the United States Circuit Court gave the officers of the concern until tomorrow to make the usual response.
 Bill Filed Under Mlsapprehension.
 Columbus, October 28.-(Special.) )-W. A. Wimbish, general counsel for the Inter state Building and Loan Association, re- ferring to the bill in the Federal court to place the association in receivers hands, says:
 'The bill by Wells is founded upon a misapprehension of the condition of the association. There is not the slightest doubt of our ability to defeat the bill without permitting any Investigation into our affairs, but inasmuch as the public may not discriminate between building and loan associations. and In view of the failures of so many of these institutions the directors of the interstate have de- cided to court the fullest investigation of its affairs, and forever put at rest all questions concerning it's solvency. have been connected with the interstate since it's organization.
 Is Honestly Conducted.
 'Tt has been honestly and faithfully conducted in the interest of its share holders and has made a remarkably fine record. Not only Is 1t amply solvent in every sense of the word, but 1t has a handsome surplus. and is fully able to meet all of it's obligations. It's stock is easily worth par, and I trust that none of our shareholders will through appre- hension sacrifice their holdings. No re- ceiver has been appointed nor any in- junction granted, nor will our business be in any way interfered with, nor have I the least fear that any receiver will ever be appointed. We will fully demonstrate our entire solvency and the pending liti- gation will be dismissed.

'If there had been burglary committed and the po- liceman had allowed the burglars to es- cape without firing his pistol, he would have been condemned by the public.
 ''To have the matter thoroughly inves- tigated, I held Richardson in my office after the shooting, and had a warrant sworn out for him before Justice Ben ners. When the case is placed on trial if Richardsons account of the affair is proved true, he cannot be held account able. On the other hand, if he is wrong and maliciously shot the boy, he should be punished. I will do all in my power to assist in the investigation.

ago. New York city at that time granted 999 year franchises, and so far as know, no shorter time franchise has ever been granted there. The ancient cities of the old world, thirty years after the introduc- ton of street cars in this country, began to think it was pretty good thing to have street cars, and in many cities of a million or more people they have built lines that have proven profitable within twenty years. If Birmingham had 5000 people we should feel that franchises should be given sparingly, but we who have been here during the past twenty five years trying to build4up Birmingham feel that it is unwise to clog the wheels of progress with limit ation upon a com pany that has done so much towards the upbuilding of Birmingham. Some of our best citizens have paid very dearly for the franchises now enjoyed by the pres ent company, and many Of the foreign bondholders have also paid dearly for these franchises, and it is barely possible that some of the new security holders will experience the same sad fate If Bir- mingham should have another back set
 Did 1t ever occur to you that with the
 granting of the franchise under discus sion, in addition to what they already have, the present company would own
 very little over 2b per cent of the streets
 of Birmingham. thus leaving about 75 per cent of the streets in the city for the en- joyment of prosperity?
 Did it ever occur to you that the com pany did not ask for streets that any other company could possibly use to any advantage7 Did 1t ever occur to you that there were three-fourths of the streets remaining for the fellow who intends to build street railroads in the future, and from whom the city can reap millions when these streets become very valuable9 Comparisons Mistake.
 'It is a great mistake for any one to compare Birmingham, with only $500 population, with city of 5o0.000 popula- ton.
 "A great deal has been said about the

capitalization of the present comnanv Six million dollars of the Capitalization referred to in the various articles against issuing the franchise are for bonds. tha proceeds of $20O0.000 of which I under stand are to be used for developing the property upon which they are issued.
 We should remember that Birninp- ham is not a New York, a London or n Montreal. but a SS.OOO town down in Ala bama.
 If am correctly informed, bids were invited for these blocks in May last, and the Birmingham Railway, Light and Power Company put in bid for s100 per block, accompanied by a certified check. and that this is no new question.
 We are informed that the railway company is indifferent as to whether this franchise should be granted or not. Many oI It's directors and stockholders believe that from street railroad standpoint to build over streets before developments are made is unwise.
 T think the Board of Mayor and Alder men voted wisely in the beginning on this subject, and I think they would be doubly wise in reconsidering and giving the railway company what they want if they can be persuaded to go ahead with the Improvements"

prises, dictated the following statement to an Age-Herald reporter:
 Referring to the application of the Birmingham Railway, Light and Power Company for franchise over seventy six blocks in the city of Birmingham, by reference to the application, the most casual observer, by comparing the blocks asked for with the routes now operated by this company, will readily see that the Fourteenth avenue, south, route is sim ply an extension of the Twentieth street line along Fourteenth avenue to Eff teenth street.
 "The route asked for from Eleventh avenue to Central avenue Is simply an ex- tension of the Eleventh avenue line into the property being developed by Robert Jemison. w. H. Graves, T. M. Bradley Will Going and others.
 "The route on Avenue H is simply for the purpose of developing Richmond Place, now being built up by Messrs Chichester, Yancey x Orr.
 The route on Twelfth avenue, north, to the city limits is simply an extension of the Twenty-fourth street line. The line along Eleventh avenue, north, from the Fountain Heights line to Twenty fourth street is to complete a cross-town line which has been needed for a long time.
 TO Avoid Grade Crossings.
 Tt was explained to the committee to whom the matter was originally referred that the line from Twentieth street to Twenty-second street on Avenue B was to be used to avoid so many cars cross- ing at the grade crossing on Twentieth street at the Union depot.
 From Twenty-second street to Twen- ty-third street, on Avenue B, and from Avenue B, on Twenty-third street, to Avenue F, was asked for in order that the passenger cars might be taken off the belt line when freight trains are handled in and out of the Ice factory and brewery. All of which would add to the comfort and convenience of the public, and so far as the casual obser- yer can see, will not add one penny to the income of the railroad company.
 "One block asked for at Five Points is simply to avoid operating on a narrow street, and have a central point on the South Highlands for the delivery of pas

sengers so that each and every line go- ing to the South Highlands would reach this point.
 "The one block asked for on Twenty first street from First avenue to Second avenue and the three blocks on Third avenue from Twentieth street to Twenty third street, as was explained to the conn mittee of the city council, is to be used for proper terminal facilities of the vari- ous suburban lines that the company now operates, which would add to the comfort of the citizens and in no wise add to the revenue of the company. The blocks asked for on Third avenue would enable the company to straighten out it's Besemer line, which curves on Tenth street from Third avenue to Fourth ave- nue, and then again on Eighteenth street from Fourth avenue to Third avenue.
 To Make Fewer Curves.
 ''The block asked for at Twenty-sixth street between Sixth avenue and Seventh avenue and the one between Seventh avenue and Eighth avenue on Twenty third street were asked for in order that two curves might be avoided in the lines now operated in that part of the city.
 No more than seventy-six blocks were asked for, and none of them but what were the natural extenslonS or IerInlnaiS of the present lines.
 "It Is very questionable in the minds of all practical street car men with whom have talked on this subject as to whether or not any of these extensions will pay. It would be great misfortune to the city of Birmingham if these ex- tensions are not granted before the thirty year franchise limit goes into effect, for should they not be given before then. no development along these lines will take place by any street car company until the territory is sufficiently built up to support and maintain a street railroad.
 q do not blame the property owners for urging that this grant be given the company because transfers will be issued and they cannot be obtained from any outside company.
