KRETOL COMPANY

has been paid out in dividends that were
never earned. In the papers filed in Alex
andria Monday II is alleged that from the
time the company began business TO jan
uary IL last the company had only sold
| SS,314.46 worth of their product, and to
manufacture and sell this amount the Of
/ ficers had expended s51 .5s2.67. In the face
of this showing, it is alleged. dividends
were declared and paid from the capital
of the company.
| The bill further charges that the affairs
| of the company are being conducted in
| ruinous manner. the average monthly
| income from the sale of the product being
| less than $780, and the average monthly
expenditures, as shown by the treasurer's
report. having been for the past two years
| about $4,000 month.
Ruinous Methods Alleged.
| 1t is alleged that on January 10 last
there was only s12.39 cash on hand and
bills outstanding aggregating s7,510.13.
With this state of affairs confronting them
a meeting of the stockholders was called
last Saturday, at which there was an en-
tire reorganizati tion Of the company's man
agement. Mr.. Browne was relieved from
further service as manager of affairs OF
the corporation. and in his stead Mr.
William J. Ford was employed. Mr.. Ford
is said to own no stock in the company,
and was employed because of his suit
ability for the position.
The Reorganization Plan.
1t was decided at the meeting to mort
gage the property of the company for
SIC, 900, which would pay off the indebted
ness Of the company, and that then 1t
might be possible to effect recorganiza-
tion on a profitable basis. Arrangements
had been about completed for placing this
mortgage when suit was brought in Alex
andria and the managers of the company
were restrained from carrying out their
deal.
Mr. Browne was absent from the city,
and did not attend the meeting OF the
stockholders Saturday, but he is said to
have returned here last night. An effort
was made to see him at his home, 1912
Twelfth Street northwest, by a reporter
for The Times, but the occupants OF the
building stated that he was not in, and
that they did not know when he would re-
turn.
Auxiliary Receiver Asked.
Further action was taken late yester-
day afternoon by Major Armes looking to
the protection of his interests in suit
entered in the Supreme Court of the Dis
trict of Columbia for an injunction to re-
strain the Kretoi Company from removing
any of their books, papers, or records
from the offices in this city, and to prohibit
it from making any disposition of any of
the property or assets of the company, or
from selling any more of the capital stock
until further order from the court.
A United States wrie is also asked for
for an auxiliary receiver to take charge
of the assets of the company which
may be in the District of Columbia and
be required to show an account OF its
transactions since its organization. to
show the expenditures and disbursements
made by the company.
