LARGEST FIGURING

ers Will Reorganize the
Great Concern.

Minneapolis. Aug. 10.-Incident
to a reorganization OF stockholders, the
Pillsbury- Washhurn Flour Mills COM
bany, the largest Touring mill concern
In the world. limited, today petitioned
the federal district court for the APP
bointment of receivers.
The court granted the petition, nam
Ing G. s. Pillsbury, son of the late
Charles A. Pillsbury; A. G. Loring, head
bf the Northwestern Consolidated Mill
Ing company, and A. G. Cobb. an attor-
ney. a-n4 =
The petitioners were four banks of
Minneapolis and st. Paul, together with
.pany's papers.
The business will be continued.
On Friendly Basis.
After naming the receivers the court
fixed their joint bond at $500, 900 and
announced that five days will be al
lowed for them to file 1t. "a :
That the petition for receivership was
on a friendly basis was evidenced by
the appearance Of j. S. Pillsbury as one
Of the petitioners and the fact that the
company consented to the action with
out opposition. This may be due to
the necessity for a change of manage
ment, which vas broadly intimated in
the petition. The application for re-
ceivers created surprise, but II is not
expected to p~recipitate any furry in
milling or financial circles.
The indebtedness Of the defendant
company Is set at more than $1,000, 900.
The book value Of the company's prop
erty exceeds SIS. 1000, 900. The total se-
cured Indebtedness covered by deben-
ture bonds is 81, 200, 900 or a total in
debtedness Of $4,000, 900. The company
a $500, 900 Of its product stored in
% states outside Of Minnesota. .
The capitalization Of the Pillsbury-,
Washburn company Is 81, 1000, 900, divided.
equally between preferred and COM
mon stock. 1t also has outstanding
"a, $50, 900 In bonds. The last statement,
OF h company issued four months g
showed net earnings Of $642, o00. Against,
this were bond interest charges Of $780,
600, a dividend on preferred stock OF
S177, 900 and other charges of $500, 900,
leaving q balance Of only SIS, 900. %
The company was founded by G. A..
Pillsbury, who later was Joined by for
mer United States Senator Washburn.
h stock now Is owned by English
capitalists, but the mills. which have
a capacity of $4,000 barrels per day, are
operated by Americans. The present
corporation was formed in 1889 under
the laws of Great Britain.
In addition to Ave flour mills, the
company owns the water power on
both sides Of the Mississippi river at
Minneapolis. with two dams of 45 and
20 feet head respectively. The former
furnishes power for the company's
mills and other mills located in Min
neapolis, and the latter supplies the
street railways of Minneapolis and st.
Paul with about 10, 900 horse power for
generating electricity. The net income
from the water power has been about
$500, 900 a year. The company also owns
the entire capital stock of the Minneap-
oils & Northern Elevator company.

GOV. DEMEEN AND
HOPKINS WINNERS
IN THE PRIMARY

Chicago, Aug. 12.-Such returns as
are available today, in addition to those
obtained est night confirm the repub-
lican nomination of Governor Charles
s. Deneen for governor and gfYe h
republican Endorsement for United
States senator to Senator Albert j..
Hopkins. ..i
From the figures at hand, which,
however, art incomplete, the majority
vote of Deneen over Yates is probably
not far from 10000 to $4,000. The vote
for senator shows Hopkins has about
$4,000 over Foss, but 1t IS not certain
this estimate win hold. Returns from
some counties may reduce Hopkins
lead materially. 1t is, however, con-
sidered certain by politicians that Hop
kins will receive strong plurality in the
popular vote. .. D.,
Foss to Fight. :
1t is certain Foss will carry the fight
into the state legislature and a warn
contest will ensue when that body
meets next winter. Foss and his man
ayers claim he has carried the major
ity of the senatorial districts, that the
chief strength of the Hopkins vote,
particularly In Chicago, has been in
democratic wards. 1t Is claimed the
vote in the senatorial districts should
be binding on members of the legisla-
ture, and therefore, Foss and friends
argue even il defeated on popular vote,
he will have a majority of the leglsla-
ture under instructions to him. !
Hopkins managers deride his claim
and assert that the vote of the state
at large is the only thing that carries
with 1t the party Endorsement. =
Returns today seem to indicate that
.Oglesby has been nominated for lieu
tenant governor on the republican tick
ct, and that Pickering has been chosen
by democrats as their candidate for
clerk of the supreme court. These were
the only officers on which the result
last night was. in doubt. :
Stevenson Victor. :
Returns from country precincts con-
tinue to ONE IN very slowly. Definite
figures are most difficult to obtain on
many votes, particularly those on the
democratic ticket, because of the, gem
eral interest felt in the bitter struggles
for republican ~gubernatorial nominal
tons and for republican Endorsement
for senator. Enough figures are OBJ
tainable, however, to show that
Stringer has received overwhelming
plurality for democratic Endorsement
for senator, and that former Vice Pres
ident Adlai r. Stevenson has been
nominated for governor. Republicans
throughout that state seem to have
turned out to vote at the primary cleo
ton in greater force than democrats.
This generally is attributed to the in
terest felt IN the republican contests.

1t is one of the peculiar conditions,
seldom attending the death of any
man that Senator Allison has no rela-
tives In the commonwealth which has
been his home during most of his ac-
tive life. His companion has been dead
these many years, he never had son or
daughter, and the messages Of con-
dolence or appreciation are from
friends or contemporaries to friends
and the great public to whom his name
has become a. household word.
Arrangements for the funeral of Sen
ator Allison have progressed to the
point where 1t is known that the serv-
Ices will be held Saturday, August g.,
at 3 o'clock in the afternoon, and while
simple in arrangement. will be attend
ed by life long associates in congress,
and by prominent public officials, both

President Fairbanks has appointed a
delegation from among Senator Alli-
sons colleagues in the Senate to at
tend, and the vice president announces
that he also will be present.

The exercises will take place from
the late senator's home on Locust

Senator Allison will be long re-

throughout the whole country. He
rendered most useful service to
the nation during a public career
which for length has scarcely a
parallel in the history OF the Unit

templative man and for MANY
years his counsel was more gener-
ally sought than that OF any other
man In public life. Had he lived z
to the end of the term which he
was holding at the time OF his
death he would have served his
state &c consecutive years in the
Senate.
"He entered congress In the
