Judge Stod- dard. who is interested in the present proceedings, stated last night that he hoped the concern would not have to close down and that every effort would be made to keep the employees at work. In the bill of complaint it was stated that on account of financial embarrass- ments, it was considered for the best interests of creditors and stockhold- CTS that receivers be appointed.
