ASPHALT COMPANY TROUBLES.
Attorney Brown to Sue for S24. ,000
 Assessm ments.
Yours very truly,
 Edwin O. Keeler,
 Acting Governor"

Trenton, N J., Aug. 12.-Acting in be- half of William c. Bullitt, of Philadel- phia, John Douglass Brown jr., an att torney, to-day sent here to be filed in the United States circuit court com- prehensive petition asking Judge Kirk patrick to direct the receivers of the Asphalt Company of America and the National Asphalt company to bring suit against the promoters, directors and stockholders of the two companies to determine their liabilities to bondhold- CTS of the Asphalt Company of Ameri- ca. MT. Brown also wanted the stock holders of the Asphalt Company of America sued for the unpaid assess ments on their capital stock. which, he claims, amounts to $24,000,000.
 When the Asphalt Company of Amer ica was formed it was capitalized at $30, ,00O,O00. This entire capital stock was issued, but was only paid for in part, it being sold on the basis of peri odical payments. When the National company absorbed the American com peny the stock of the American com- pany was taken up and superseded by securities of the National company. This, MT. Brown claims, was a fraud upon the holders of the securities of the American company.
 The petition also asks the court to restrain the Riddle committee from ar- bitrarily declaring the reorganizat ton plan effective and from limiting the dissents of depositing bondholders to 1 August 19 The petition also requests that the Land Title and Trust company, of Philadelphia, trustees of the Asphalt of America Company's fives, be requir- ed to show cause why they should not disclose the list of registered bondhold- CTS, and to require the Riddle commit tee to show cause why 1t should not disclose the names of the bondholders who have deposited bonds of the con- pany on the reorganization agreement.

THE DYNAMITE CRUISER.
Board of Survey VIII Decide What to
 Do with Her.

Washington, Aug. 12-The secretary of the navy recently asked the naval board of construction Id consider what should be done with the former dyna- mite cruiser Vesuviuss and that board decided to-day to recommend that a board of survey be appointed to pass upon her ultimate disposition. The Vesuvius attracted much attention at one time as it was thought she might levolutionize naval warfare, but she proved a failure during the Spanish war. For some time she had been laid up in the New York navy yard. It costs about s5,OOO a year to take care of her when not in use.
