FOR 0DELL COMPANY.
Claims His SharehoIdings Were Not
Given Him.


Given Him.
Cincinnati, June 8.-Thomas o. Nc
Bride of Savannah, in the United
States District Court to-day, applied
for a receiver for the w. j. Odell Com
mission Company of Cincinnati and
for a general accounting. He also pc
titions that the officers and sharehold-
ers in the company be enjoined from
interfering with the books or the man
agement of the concern.
The petition states that the Odell
Commission Company was organized
in 1899 with 900 of capital stock.
Mr.. Mcbride claims that he paid $5,-
200, and hold twenty-five shares of
stock. He also claims thirty-seVen
other shares for which no certificate
has been issued to him.
He charges that on May 25 the Odell
company was reorganized with $25, 900
capital stock, and the officers and prin-
cipal shareholders in the Odell Com
mission Company were thereupon trans
ferred to the Odell company, together
with all the property and assets of the
old concern. Mr.. Mcbride claims
that the forms of law were not OBJ
served and that his shareholdings in
the new company were not given him.
The Odell company has leased wires
throughout the Southern and Middle
States and does a large brokerage
business.

were fired into the pendant body:
The major portion of the town was

an Advance.

Imperial Bank of Germany Makes
an Advance.
Berlin, June S.-The rate of discount
of the Imperial Bank of Germany was
raised to-day from 3k to per cent.
Before the Central Committee of the
bank, President Koch gave the rae
sons for raising the discount rate. He
said the last return showed $50, SOC, 900
higher liabilities than a year ago. The
metal stock was 0500, 900 less. The
relation of the liabilities to the assets
May 3 was never so unfavorable be-
fore.
The chief reason for revising the rate
of discount was to attract foreign gold
The bank greatly needed to strengthen
its status for the end of the quarter
and for the autumn, because the money
situation abroad, especially in the Unit
ed States. was not reassuring.
The newspapers express hope that
the higher rate of discount will cause
return of money from the United
States, since the extension of loans
might cause a disturbance in the Ger
man market.
