BAY STATE MEN
TO PAY DEBT
SHARE
Stakeholder Only
One Receiver Could
Find in Jersey.

A case Of overcapitalization was brought
before Vice-Chancellor Howell today by e.
@. Keasbey, who asked for an order per-
hitting A. V. d. Henderson. receiver for
the New Jersey Gelatine Works. at Bound
Brook, to bring suit against stockholders
who reside in Massachuselts to compel
them to pay cash for the shares of stock
they hold.
Mr.. Keasbey said the receiver found only
one ~stockholder in New Jersey. and he
was a dummy stockhoider, the statutory
agent for the company in this State. He
had only one share, and he paid the $40
for the share TO the receiver. Tit men
who organized the company bought out n
factory building at Bound Brook for $l25,-
0Oe, issued bonds to pay for it and then
capitalized the concern for 1000. 900 at 500
a share and divide the stock among the
members. The company failed and the re-
ceiver found no property in New Jersey
but the factory at Bound Brook, and the
Indebtedness amounted to $4,000.
Vice-C Chancellor Bird granted a decree on
November %, when the receiver said he
had no money to pay debts. In the decree
it was stated that stockholders were liable
for the debts and should be made pay on
the shares Of stock they held.
Vice-C Chancellor Howell today granted
the application for Mr.. Keasbey, giving
the receiver authority to sue the Massa-
chusetts stockholders.

TO KEEP UP FIGHT
ON ASSESSMENTS.
Vailsburgers Decide to Attack Constitu.
tionality of Law Under Which
Sewer Levy Was Made.

Declaring the law under which the as
sessments for levers were levied TO be
unconstitutional, several hundred property
owners of the Vailsburg section decided
last night to fight the city in the courts.
A meeting was held in Electric Park Hall
last night. Through their counsel, Andrew
r, Fitzsimmons and Chandler w. Riker,
they will ask the courts to decide with
them regarding the constitntionality of the
sewer assessment law.
The protesiants a year ago had the joint
outlet assessment question aired be-
fore Judge Adams, and at that time the
court assumed that the law which gave
the city the power was constitutional. Bas-
ing their opinion on the presumption of
the court, the property owners decided to
continue their fight, and enthusiasm ran
high at the session last night. although

been retaired as counsel Jointly with
Chandler w. Riker, explained the objec'
of the meeting and the lines on which tho
fight wonld be conducted. A motion was
passed after Michael Sugrue brought ny
the question whether or not the fight
wouldn't cover all the points and both
sewers. The motion was TO the effect that
it would If it were possible.
In discussing the question several of the
speakers termed the levy as unfair, and
said that it was obtaining money under
false p%retenses. 1t was pointed out that
those who were undecided as to whether
to get into the movement, owing TO their
having paid the assessment, would be
equally as much a galner MS the next one.

a triangular space. or on the centre of the

These patches are readily adjusted and
may be brushed in any style. They are
rather expensive though-that is, IL a man

There are not so many complete wigs

fact, II is hard to get a wig which does not
