patrick Of the United States circuit
court at his chambers in Newark to-
day made an order returnable ia Tren-
ton next Monday for cause to be
shown why a receiver should not be
appointed for the United States Ship
Building company. The application
was made by Roland r. COnkIin, who
charges that the company is insOlvent,
and who also alleges fraud in cOnneC-
ton with its corporation and manage
ment- The company was organized
about a year ago with an authorized
capital of 500 900, 900 and with a pro-
vision for a bond issue Of SIG ,O00
OF this 100000 was to be -Underwrit-
ten by a trust company.
The applicants for a receiver are
holders OF some of these bonds. They
claim that they acquired these bonds
on the strength of representations
that the properties TO be acquired by
the United States Ship Building COM
pany were worth more than $40, 000 600:
that these companies had a working
capital of S5.O00.OOO that they had con-
tracts on hand aggTegating $50. 0O0. 900
on which there would be d profit Of
$4,000 600, and that those companies
had an earning capacity of 81 250. 900 a
year 1t is charged by COnklin and
his co-suitors that the properties ac-
quiTed were worth nothing like S2O,-
900, GOO, that the contracts on hand
were only $4,000, 600; that the working
capital was less than $4,000, 900, and
that the earning capacity was only
100000, an amount insufficient to pay
the companies fixed charges.
It is also charged that by reason of
secret agreement between Nixon. who
promoted the United States Ship Build
ing company, and Charles NJ. Schwab
the ship building company purchased
from Schwab the works of the BethIe-
hem Steel company for $4,000, 600 and
that this afforded Schwab a profit of
$27 600, O0o The purchase price paid is
stated to have been exOrbitant

Count Marshal Nikoljewitch escaped

Intrigue Known to Exist.

That an intrigue looking 10 the de-
thrOnement of the cate king was or foot
had been known to the German govern
ment for some time and also 10 the gov
eminent Of Servia, but no importance was
attached 10 the matter The late king
seems to have looked upon the hints OF
the existence of a plot as having no spe-
cial significance. Reports to this effect
have been circulated in the Austrian and
German newspapers and have been cabled
10 the United States. but as the Balkans
are so productive of baseless rumOrs,
those concerning the plot against the late
king of Servia were treated lightly
