COURT CONSIDERS
REMOVAL Of BOX
BOARD RECEIVER
Charge Made B0ndh0lders Are
Dissatisfied with Admins
+ tratiOn of Mitchell.

Vice-Chancellor Howell today took
under consideration an application for
the remova of Sidney Mitchell as re-
ceiver for the United Box Board and
Paper Company, a New Jersey cor
poration, operating dftesn mills in
eight States. The application was made
by william A. Smith, Of Coult, Howell
& Smith, and Max H. Whitney. Of Chi
cago, acting as counsel for a large
number of underlying bondhoiders.
Il was commended that Mr.. Mitchell,
who Is q resident of Chicago. was the
president of the company, and that
there had been %collusion In fling the
petition, and also that he Is not one Of
the receivers named by the Illinois
oourts to wind up the affairs OF the
American Show Board Company, an
Illinois corporation, subsidiary to the
box board company.
Mr.. Whitney commended that the af-
fairs of the company should be man
aged by a competent box board man,
who thoroughly understands the bust
ness. Mr.. Mitchell, he said, knew
nothing about the business, and Assist
ant Prosecutor Thomas l.. Raymond,
of this city, the other receiver named
by tho court, was a disinterested man.
He asked that Mr.. Mitchelrs place be
filled by a competent man., saying that
the fifteen plants now running were
being operated at a loss.
Sherrerd DeDue, counsel for the re-
ceivers and for the complainants, p
posed the motion, saying that the
receivers had the advise of all the
managers of the mills and the creditors
seemed to be satisfied with the appoint
ment OF Mr.. Mitchell. He said he had
received letters from creditors repre-
senting $3.50, 747.75 of the s623, 500 unse-
cured claims, all expressing general sat
isfaction with the appointment, as did
the holders of over $40, 000, 900 worth of
stock; and hat the bondholders would
probably have viewed the matter in the
same light If they had been approached.
The vice-chancellor suggested the ap-
pointment of a third receiver, a man to
be thoroughly competent in the manu-
facture of box board. This seemed to
be satisfactory to Mr.. Whitney, but he
still desired the ousting of Mr.. Mitchell.
Mr.. Depue said the receivers had en-
toyed the knowledge of the superinten-
LEM of the mills. who was a practical
man, and had been guided by his advice.
Vice-Chancellor Howell said he had
beer familiar with the financial condi-
ton of the Box Board Company for
some time. and considered 1t to be an
insolvent corporation.
"It hasn't been worth Its bonds for
some time" replied Mr.. Whitney.
