OBJECT To COURSE
OF RECEIVERS
Non-Resident Policy Holders with
Claims for 100000 Have eriev.
ance Against Traders
Company
By Associated Press.


CHICAGO, Oct 24.-Expressions of
discomfort with the management of the
estate of the Traders Insurance conf
pany by the receivers appointed some
months ago are contained in an inter-
vening petition filed in the Cook county
circuit court today in behalf of nom
resident policy holders whose claims
against the defunct company represent
nearly $2,000OOO
The petition charges that the receiv-
er for the insurance company has ad-
justed but few of the losses of the suf-
ferers of the San Francisco earthquake
and fire, owing to the fact that "he has
been directed and authorized to make
every legal objection possible"
The court was told that before it's
failure the insurance company carried
on business in California and that it is
therefore governed by the laws of that
state, which direct that stockholders
in such a corporation be made liable
for losses to the extent of their stock
subscriptions.
The complainants ask that the court
enter an order fixing a time for the
filing of claims against the company
and that all assets of the Traders In-
surance company be collected by the
receiver, reduced to cash and distrib-
uted among all the creditors.
