tuted for il in the herb shops. the dandelion is
properly esteemed and is raised carefully in gar
dens as a pot herb and a salad plant. Wild dande-

SCHWAB IS ACCUSED
CoNSPIRED WITH ASSOCIATES
 TO DEFRAUD.
Receiver James Smith of the United States Ship Building Company Makes Some Sensational
 Allegations in Court
 Paper.

New York, Oct 5.-James Smith, re- ceiver of the United States Shipbuilding Company to-day filed his answer to the
 actions recently instituted in the United
 States circuit court against the company and himself as receiver. by the Mer- cantile Trust Company and the New York Security and Trust Company. the former to foreclose its mortgage as trus- tee for a five per cent. mortgage bond issue of $16, ,OOO.OOO and the latter to fore close its mortgage, also as trustee, upon bond issue of $10,0O0,O0O.
 In this answer MT. Smith accuses Charles M. Schwab, D. Leroy Dresser,
 Lewis Nixon, John S. Hyde, E. W. Hyde. Charles R. Hanscom, I. M. Scott, Charles J. Canda, Horace W. Cause and John W. Young, promoters of the United States Shipbuilding Company, of fraudulent practices in the formation of the ship building company.
 Specifically, MT. Smith alleges in his
 answer to the suit of the New York Se-
 curity and Trust Company that the Beth-
 lehem Steel Company's works, worth not
 more than H,2O0,OOO to $10,0OO,OO0, was
 brought into the United States Shipbuild- ing Company on the basis of $S0,OOO,0OO, the transaction being fraudulent and to the injury of the creditors, bondholders
 
 pany. MT. Smith further charges that the shares of the Shipbuilding Company issued in effecting this transaction consti-
 tuted full payment for the stock of the Steel Company and that the bonds men, tioned in the complaint were therefore is-
 sued without consideration and that the mortgage given to secure the bonds is
 likewise null and void.
 The answer Of Receiver Smith next con- tends that Mir. Schwab and his associates
 conspired with the directors of the com pany to insert provisions in the charter of the company to enable the holders of
 bonds to vote in all meetings of the com pany upon equal terms with the share holders.
 Charges are also made that MT. Schwab caused the shipbuilding company to de- fault in it's interest, forcing it's insolv- ency, thereby wrecking 1t, and enabling MT. Schwab and his associates to &C., quire its assets. It Is charged likewise
 that MT. Schwab and his associates act ed in collision with "a so-called reorgan- ization committee" caused the interest to be withheld by refusing to permit the directors to meet, whereby funds might have been secured from some other source to meet the outsta nding obligations. The second answer is made to the suit of the Mercantile Trust Company, the trustees of the first issue of bonds of the Shipbuilding Company. The answer
 claims that the real value of the proper ties merged in the defendant company al
 no time exceeded $10 0O0,0 900 and that the | profits in sight did not exceed $1,000, 900. | The promoters at the present time own al least $10,000. 600 of the bonds and $9. 900, ,0OC | of common and S. 000.00 of the preferred
 stock of the defendant company.
