RECEIVERS FOR
WESTINGHOUSE CO.
ARE DISCHARGED
Big Manufacturing Concern Is
Now Removed from List
of InsOlyent.

Judge Cross, of the United States
Circuit Court, has discharged the three
ancillary receivers of the Westing-
house Manufacturing Company in New
Jersey. BY this action the big electric
company is taken from the list of In
solvent corporations and now stands
on the same footing as before the panic
of 1907. with George Westinghouse, of
Pittsburg, as president.
The discharge of the receivers was
granted upon joint application of Hal
sey M. Barrett, counsel for the West
ingnonse and Sherrerd De-
pue, counsel for the receivers, late yes
terday afternoon. 1t follows the dis
charge. by the courts OF. the Pennsyl-
vania receivers on December 5 and the
New York receivers on December s. and
is the last step in restoring the ad-
ministration Of the to the
stockholders and directors.

The assets Of the old Westinghouse
company, and assumes ali the indebted
ness not discharged by the. receivers.
Although MIR. Westinghouse remains ct
the head of the ~reorganized company, a
new directorate will manage its at
In this new directorate are rep
resentatives of bondholders, and credit
orssof the old company. =
: The entire plan of reorganization lac
been developed months ago, and the
delay in carrying. out the details was
to be expected, it is said, because of
the con1piexity of the situation.
The discharge from receivership lis
said to be mainly due to the awarding
of an order for all he electrical APP
paratus for the identification of the
Pennsylvania railroad between Newark
and New York, which was secured by
the Westinghouse firm several weeks
ago. This big order, which will involve
the expenditure. of several millions Of
dollars, started all the mills OF, the
concern at full time, including the big
factory of the company in Newark.

the wealthiest men OF this city, the

General Heppenheimer's home is at
Jersey avenue and Montgomery street,
and is familiarity known as 'the house

When the fremen arrived the flames
were eating their way into the flooring
overhead. The members of the house
hold were routed from bed In their
night clothing. About $500 damage was
done.
Investigation showed that a window
in the laundry had been smashed by
the ~incendiary, who had hurled burning
newspapers INTO the, room. %.9

was last Friday, when oil.soaked papers
we're thrown into a room on the first

COUNTY OFFICERS
SERVE WR|TS IN
FIGHT FOR JOBS
South Orange Hospital and
Court House Employees Take
Action in Courts.

Ln +'
n Herbert -Begss, legal adviser for Mi
chael Mulvaney. the steward at the
South Orange Hospital; Jules Linde-
man, the clerk there. and John j.. Be-
land, custodian of the Court House,
who were ousted by the new Board of
Freeholders, served a writ of certiorari
on County Counsel Joseph L. Mum to-
day. and he acknowledged service.
This will serve to keep the men in office
until December II, when the Board of
Freehoiders meets. Then Mr.. Mum
will inform the board officially of tho
matter. and will await thai body's
pleasure. If the f~reehoIders decide to
carry the case into the courts, then the
civil service law will have to be legally
attacked.
That action would take the matter
into the Supreme Court, and nothing
yrettld be done then until February.
In the case of Warden Desch, at the
penitentiary, he has been instructed by
mis- ounse not to let Samuel c. Martin,
who was appointed by the freeholders
on Monday, into the building. because
the Civil Service Commission decided
that Mr.. Desch came under the classi-
fled list. Consequently. Warden Desch
is guarding the, old stone fortress night
and day, with the aid of his deputies
and keepers.
The position of clerk to the Road
Board, held by William Tuite, who has
been in Denver for his health, is
j~eopardized by his absence. The posi-
ton was put In the classified list by
the Civil Service Commission. 1t is ex-
pected that Mr.. Tuite will be here in
person on Saturday to take steps to
hold his job.

.Dear Sir-T am writing you this let
ter to explain to you the reason Tor
the failure of Mr.. Godfrey, of your

witch hearing the papers necessary Tor
Archer's ~extradition were presented 10

lar form. but the Governor refused 10
honor the requlsitions assigning as ms
reason the fact that a civil suit, be-
gun by the bang against the railroad
involving Archaer's forgerles,
had been tried i'm New Jersey. and that
he; was not satisfied that this effort at
exfradition was not for the purpose OF
collecting a civil debt.
az wish TO assure you that it was
through no fault at ALI of Mr.. Godfrey
that the warrant was refused by the
governor. Mr.. Godfrey did everything
that was in his power to secure the
warrant, but he was confronted by a
condition here which neither he nor
any other man could overcome. Mr..
Godfrey can explain to you in person
what ]. refersto, ass for, various reasons,
It would be iI~l-aIvised for me to go

IT am deeply h sgrined at the result

suit could have been avoided. Yours
