RECEIVERS FOR
LARGEST MILLS
IN THE WORLD
PillSbury-WaShburn Flour Mill
ing Company'S Affairs
Somewhat SnarIed.
FOUR NATIONAL BANKS
PETITIONED THE COURT
OPERATION WILL not CEASE
AND A FURRY IN FINANCIAL
CIRCLES NOT EXPECTED.

Minneapolis. Mimi, Aug. S.-As step
toward reorganization, certain stock
holders and holders of the Pillsbury-
washburn Flour Milling company's
paper today petitioned the federal dis
trict court for the appointment of re-
ceivers to direct the business. The pc
tition was granted. the court naming
&. S. Pillsbury. son of the late Charles
IA. Pillsbury; A. c. Loring, head of the
Northwestern Consolidated Milling
company, and A G. Cobb, an attorney.
The petitioners were the Northwestern
National bank. the First National. the
Swedish-American National of Mime
apolis and the Second National of st.
Paul. together with ]. S. Pillsbury.
There will be no interruption to bust
ness of the company pending reorgan-
izaiton.
Friendly Proceedings.
After naming the receivers. the court
fixed their joint bond at s50O. 900. and
announced that five days would be al
lowed for them TO file it. The petition
for receivership was on a friendly ba-
sis. as evidenced by the appearance of
j. S. Pillsbury as one of the petition
ers. and the fact that the company cont
sented to the action without opposition.
This may be due to a necessity for a
change of management, which was
broadly intirnated In the petition.
The application for receivers has
created surprise, but II is not expected
TO cause any furry in milling or finan-
cIal circles. The milling interests in
Minneapolis have enjoyed an excep-
tionally good year. and the conditions
that affected the Pittsburgh ashburn
company have been peculiar TO that or
eaniZation-
Bad Management Charged.
While II is true that the petition for
receivers cited bad management as one
of the main reasons for the action, no
announcement is yet made regarding
the status of Henry l.. Little. Mr.. Lit
tie succeeded to the management upon
the death of c. A. Pillsbury ten years
ago. but the officers of the company
and receivers as we'll state positively
that at this time no action regarding
Mr.. Littles status has been taken.
The Indebtedness of the defendant
company is set at more than $1,000. 900,
without security.
The book value of the company's
property exceeds SIS. 900. 900. The total
secured Indebtedness covered by deben-
ture bonds is s4.0O0000. or a total in
ldebtedness Of s9.000,000 Liquid assets
&ere estimated at $780, 900, TO pay S.
ysO 900 unsecured debts.
The company has $780, 900 of It's prod
uct stored in twenty-five states outside
of Minnesota.
Statement of Receivers.
This afternoon the following state
ment was issued from the receivers
office:
- This company, which has always en-
joyed a reputation second to none, and
is the successor of the interests which
first made Minneapolis famous as a
milling center, has found it necessary
TO the conservation of the interests of
its creditors and shareholders to place
it's property temporarily in the hands
OF the circuit court in order that the

Trial Was Expensive.

Poughkeepsie, n. Y, Aug. S.-Harry
X. Thaw made the following statement
today in further explanation of the
schedules appearing in his petition in
bankruptcy filed in Pittsburg yester-
day:
THE item at the foot of the column
giving amounts paid lawyers and alien
lists for expenses marked cash in bank
is money in bank that / have now
turned over to the receiver in bankrupt
cy for the equalization of all con-
cerned."
The sum of $43S, 500 is represented as
having been paid out by Thaw in con-
nection with his trials, but this amount
includes $191. 800 borrowed on a note
from his mother. Mrs. William Thaw.
which amount appears again in the
schedule of Thaws liabilities. The sums
he has paid and the claims, many of
which Thaw says are exaggerated. will
total over 100000.
The Forsythe Yarn.
When shown an article attributed to
Hattie Forsythe, an actress, printed
in a New Yark paper, in which Miss
Forsythe was represented as discred-
iting the story related by Evelyn Mes
bit Thaw on the stand, Harry Thaw
said today:
Miss Forsythe knows absolutely
nothing about the matter. She never
met White and she met Miss Nesbit
only once. Whatever knowledge she
has was second hand She was not one
of the girls who sailed Immediately be-
fore the second trial. If she had the
knowledge she says she had, Mr.. Jer-
ONE would have had hefas witness.

All Business Ceased.

All Dubuque paid silent tribute to the
memory OF Senator Allison today. Dur
ing the hours of the funeral not wheel
turned throughout the city, and every
business house closed its doors. Flags
hung at half mast from public build
ings. and hundreds of homes and business
houses were trimmed with crepe.
A most effective feature was the wind
ing with black and white of the trolley
poles throughout the main thoroughfares
of the city. The body of Senator Allison
lay in state yesterday afternoon and even
ing. and thousands of people called to
pay a final tribute of respect. The only
floral tributes were a blanket of Ameri-

casket. an emblem of the Loyal Legion
and the national flag.
The pail bearers were AL residents of
the city and intimate friends of the late
senator.

DAVID J. LEvERoNE DEAD.
Resident of District for Nearly Half
Century Passes AWAY,

The death of David J. Leverone, a local
business man, and for forty-five years a
citizen of the District of Columbia. oc-
CURED at an early hour this morning at
his home, 746 9th street. The immedi
cause of his demise was given as heart
failure. superindaced by kidney and stOm-
ach troubles. Arrangements are being
made for the funeral which will probably
take place next Saturday morning from
St. Patricks Church, with interment in
ST. Mary's cemetery.
Mr. Leverone was born in Philadelphia
about fifty-one years ago. of Italian par
entage. but when small boy he came to
this city with his parents. and was iden-
tiled with this city since. He made sew
eral visits to the home of his mother and
father, Camogi. Italy. and his wife. for
merly Miss Frederick Felice Morice, is a
native of Italy.

EXPENSE NOT JUSTIFIED.
Objections by Commissioners to In
stitution for Criminal Insane.

In letter to Representative Samuel W.
Smith. chairman of the House District
committee, the Commissioners notified him
that they cannot report favorably upon
House of Representatives bill 1909. which
provides for the establishment of an
asylum for the criminal insane in the Dis
trict of Columbia, which measure was re-
ferred to them several days ago for ex-
animation and report. The Commission
ers said that while they heartily approve
the purpose of the bill it is deemed doubt
full whether the present conditions justify
the necessary expenditure of funds.
The measure referred to proposes the
establishment Of a United States institu-
ton and does not, strictly speaking, con-
Germ the District of Columbia. except in
so far as it provides for the criminal in
sane of the District as well as those from
other parts of the country. The Commits
sioners say there Is much to be said in
favor of the treatment Of the criminal in
sane in an institution apart from the in
sane persons not criminals. especially in
favor of the treatment of such persons
at least in separate buildings from the
non-crminal insane.
The Commissioners state that there are
| at present in the Government Hospital
for the Insane 132 crlminally insane per-
sons. OF this number 1O4 are United
| States prisoners and 2S are District pris
| oners; 11S are males and IA are females
The male prisoners are cared for in a
separate building at the asylum. This
| building is a separate structure for the
| care of criminal insane. There is no pro-
vision for the fourteen female criminals,
and these patients have to be taken care
of in the general wards of this hospital
The Commissioners concluded their re-
| port by saying: I'm view of the fact
| that the buildings at st. Elizabeths are
not at present crowded. and that the male
| prisoners are cared for in a separate
building specially constructed for that
purpose. and only fourteen female pris-
oners are in the general wards. the Com
missioners are of the opinion that the
conditions would probably not justify the
construction of separate institution
Such an institution would probably cost
at least $2JO,OOO. and there would neces.
sarily be a considerable increase. pei
capita in the cost of maintenance, because
| two institutions could not care for the
| same number of persons as economically
| as they could be cared for In a single in

Largely responsible for the deficit

HARD JOB FOR THE MINISTER
OF NEW TAXES.
Special Cabiegram to The Star.

Special Cabiegram To The Star.
BERLIN. April 9.-Herr Renhold Sy-
| dow, late undersecretary of the post of
fee department, Is the Moses whom the
kaiser has finally selected to lead i'm
perial Germany out of financial gloom.
The particular auspices under which the
new chancellor of the eXchequer enters
office has given him the title of min
lister for new taxes. for his immediate
task is to discover fresh sources of rev.
enue to meet Germany's vaulting national
expenses-primarily military and naval
budget. which in this year of peace 1908
attains the stately total of s297. 10000.
Just how thankless Herr SydoW's bur-
den Is may be gathered from the fact
that the kaiser sought unsuccessfully for
weeks for a man willing to shoulder the
! responsibility Of putting the fatherland's
financial house in order. A dozen bank
ers and finance ministers of federal
states declined the honor. Herr Dern-
burg. colonial secretary, a banker by pro-
fession, with a reputation for salving
| financial wrecks, Is understood to have
| been among those who rejected the prof
! fered portfolio.
Is Strong Man.
Herr Sydow is fifty-seven years old. and
has been in the government service for
| nearly. half his life. He has been a
judge. a post Office departmental chief.
and latterly director of the imperial tele-
graph and telephone service. His friends
describe him as industrious, nOn-bureau-
cratic and forceful: but the really moving
reason for his appointment to- the deficit

ity to advocate them effectively In parlia-
ment What Herr Sydow has up his
sleeve in the way of budget panaceas the

Mobile, Ala, Jan. 2.--Ten thousand
negroes on Wednesday celebrated
Emancipation day and adopted the
following resolutions:
Resolved, that we, the colored peo-
pie of Mobile, pledge our continual al
legiance to the fearless leader and
faithful champion of the third term
movement in the person of Hon.
Frank ii. Hitchcock, first assistant
postmaster general. And we consider
Secretary of War Taft fortunate in se-
curing such man as Mr.. Hitchcock
to manage his interests in the south
orn states. We will now feel much
more friendly in the future to the
Taft movement than we have in the
past.
Resolved, that whereas we have
heard that within the last few days an
effort has been made to recognize in
dividuals connected with the former
lily white movement with a view of
reviving the lily white party in Ala
bama, we do enter our solemn protest
against any individual or individuals
or organization that will in any de-
gree give aid to the lily white party
In this state, and
"Resolved, that we will inform our
brothers in the northern states as
soon as we know of any presidential
candidate recognizing the lily white
movement in the south, so that both
in the primary election and in the
vote for president they may cast their
votes against any candidate who rec
ognizes the lily white party"
