In RECEIVERS HANDS.
RICHARDS COMPANIES.
Boston Enterprises Said TO BE Get
Rich Quick" Concerns.

Boston. Jan. 16.-Through the failure OF
George Livingston Richards to return from
Europe, where ne went last July permission
of the courts and the dissatisfaction of many
investors in number of the Richards COM
panies Francis w. Hunnewell, %. was to-day
appointed receiver by Judge Lowell. in the
United States Circuit Court, for the George Liv-
ingston Richards Company and the AgneW
Alternating Machine Company. Tomorrow,
according to Leander j. Cavanaueh. attorney,
who represents a number of investors, re-
ceiver will be asked for the Richards Publishing
Company, Limited.
Mr.. Richards, who came here ten years ago.
penniless, has had meteOric career, and is
reputed to be millionaire. He built
fine house in BrOokne out OF the profits of his
business, and his stable of racing horses, said
to be worth SJ00.000, attracted wide attention
He attracted small investors from all parts
of the country and started numerous enter
prises, the golden tide constantly flowing in as
new propositions launched.
The Brown Book" was the first publication
which brought the name of Richards proni-
nenty before the people Of the country, the
magazine having claimed circulation of oyer
half million 1t used to advance the
interests of later companies promoted by Rich
ards. The Brown Book WAS succeeded by
Modern Women In turn appeared the Ber-
nard Richards Company, the Richards Publish
ing Company, Limited, the Richards Syndicate
the George Livingston Richards Company. the
Agnew Alternating Machine Company and the
Automatic Addressing Company.
More than a year ago it is stated. Mr.. Rich
ards was arrested at the instigati0n of a dis
satisfied investor and was obliged to give 81 900
bonds The litigation is still pending AS a
result when Richards wished to so abroad in
1901 he had TO get permission from the court
and gave two additional bonds
The appointment of a receiver to-day was
the result of a petition brought by John A
Goodwin. of Richmond, Va, old soldier
who invested 800 in each of the two COM
panies the George Livingston Richards Com
pany and. the Agnew Auto-Maing Machine
Company. The petition alleges mismanagement
and fraud.
Mr.. Goodwin represented by Arthur D.
Hill who stated to the court to-day that the
enterprises were get rich quick concerns, and
that while the figures are large apparently. the
liabilities and assets will boil down consider
ably.
MI Richard was represented by Walter Buie.
who stated to the court that the one concern
with real life was the Agnew Auto Mailing
Machine Company, which has considerable ma
chinery and valuable patents.
According to the last statements filed with
the Secretary of the CommonS eaIth, in July
of last year. the George Livingston Richards
Company had a capital stock Of S1,oD0.oe. as
sets of 81 616215 and a floating indebtedness
Of S1S7.990.
The statement OF the Agnew Auto-Mailing
Machine Company showed a capital OF S5'-
600 600 assets of 50 $50. 1.9 and a floating in
debtedness of 1891.

ISSUE OF S5OO,OOO,O 900.
CHANGE IN 4LDRICH BILL.
Tentatire Committee Decision to
Double Emergency Currency.
rFrnrn Tie 1.rihnne Burean.


Washington. Jan. 16.-The Senate Committee
on Finance held two meetings the Aldrich
bill to-day. 1t tentatively decided to IN
crease the amount of emergency currency which
NAV be issued from $3.50. 900 to S500.0Oo,VU;
to strike out the provision that the bonds OF
only those counties and towns which have more
than 2o.0G0 inhabitants shall be available as
basis for emergency currency. and to alter the
existing provisions regarding reserves so that
cities of upward of 10000 population in those
states where there cities with 230oo
population, shall have the same privileges with
regard to their reserves the larger cities in
more densely populated states
Most of the members of the committee believe
that the figure of 5000 G000e0 is not too high for
a time of emergency. when heavy issue of
currency notes is demanded security OF the
prescribed sort and under the prescribed tax
The tax on the emergency issues will not. it is
believed. be placed higher than per cent, which
the bill nov provides.
There is little reason for believing that the
proposition to eliminate railway bonds from
Section CT the Aldrich bill will prove correct.
A considerable jority of the committee favor
their retention
After its second meeting to-day the committee
adjourned to meet again cn Monday. 1t is ex-
pected that the measure will be unanimously
reported early next week
Under the leadership of Senator Cuiberson d
call for Democratic caucus to oppose the Al
drich measure was circulated to-day. and a
considerable showing was being made when
Senators Teller and Bailey. both members of the
Finance Committee were encountered
1T is absolutely no use" said Mr.. Teller Il
know from long experience that the Democrats
can never get together on anything. You could

posed or which could be devised as a substi-

Mr. Bailey echoed Mr.. Teler's sentiments. y
few other Democrats were consulted. msn. who
have had long experience in the Democratic
camp. and they declared that Mr., Teller had
put the case correctly They saw no useful
purpose to be served by Democratic opposition
