HEGEMAN HIT
BY COURTS
DECISION
Insurance Presidents Appli=
cation Concerning Big
Corporation Is Denied.

In an opinion mailed to counse this
morning Vice. Chancellor Howell denies
the application made by John r.
Hegeman. president of the Metropolitan
Insurance Company of New York. for
the appointment of a receiver for the
Atlantic Rubber Shoe Company, of
Cranston, r. l., a New Jersey corpo-
ration organized in 1901 with $4,000, 900
authorized capital.
MIR. Hegeman Is the owner of 80
shares of preferred stock and 2,250 of
common stock. and his application for
the ~receivership is based on his op-
position to the resolution Of dissolu-
tion voted. for by two-thirds of the
stockholders. He claims that the COM
pany is financially able to continue
business.
Frank p. MeDermott, of Jersey City,
and Eldon Bisbee, of New York, ap-
peared for the complainant, and Sher-
rerd Depue and j. Frederick Eagle. of
New York, for the defendant company.
The court points out, in denying the
application, that the real result of
granting the application will be Ito
unseat the present directors for n
reasons stated in the bill, and to APP
point an Indifferent person receiver to
wind up the company's affairs
The court says that IL appears in
evidence that the defendant corpora
ton has in the bank much more
than enough money to pay the full
outstanding debts" and that the pro-
ceedings taken amount to a dissolution,
such conclusion Is not a legal one, and
the application of the complainant Is
premature, dissolution being a formal
process only accomplished on the adop-
ton of a resolution to forht the charter
of the company by application to the
Secretary of State.
In conclusion the court says tina the
ultimate settlement of the questions
must await ina hearing, and that the
court fought not TO interfere to dis
place the board of directors or to n
join the corporation from The transac-
ton of its necessary business or o
accomplishing its dissolution
The defendant company was organ
lied to exploit the Doughty patents for
a new process of v~ulcanizing rubber.
The company remained In business
from May to December. 1904, when It's
board of directors decided thai the
process was a failure and voted to sell
its plant In Cranston for $135,00O in
cash, This money is still in bank. and
against it is c~hargable about $4,000 in
liabilities. The par value OF the capitai
stock was then reduced, the preferred
stock to 500 a share and the common
stock to 81 a share.

inent House Supervision, charged Mrs
Ammafrias Bernerkastis with changing
the residence ut 2S4 Walnut street Into q

family house. in direct violation OF the
tenement house act.
II was shown by the counsel for the de-
Tense that the house was originally a
three-story house and was changed to a
four-story one. On these technical grounds
the non-suit was granted.
The board will make another charge, IN
(which the case will be stated correctly
charging the woman with converting a
lthree-family dwelling into a four-family
house, so that the defendant will have to
semploy counsel twice.
