RECEIVER is DECIDED ON
President Stickney Meets NotehoIders
49, in London.

London, Jan. 9.-The expected meet
ing of the noteholders of the Chicago
Great Western Railway company with
A r. Stickney, president of the COM
pany, was held here. 1t was decided
to appoint a receiver for the company,
to maintain the status quo during the
time necessary to prepare first mort
gage bond covering all the indebted
ness of the road and to obtain a vote
of the stockholders on this measure.
There were many noteholders at
the meeting.
Subsequent to the meeting the fol-
lowing notification was issued by the
London agency of the company:
"At a meeting of some of the hold
ers of the Chicago Great Western
railway notes, which mature shortly,
the president of the company an
nounced that in order to maintain the
status quo 1t had been decided by the
London finance committee that appli-
cation should be made to United
States court for the creation of a
temporary receivership until such

tanned authorization from it's stock
holders for the issue of first mortgage
bonds to an amount sufficient to
finance its requirements"
Mr.. Stickney, addressing the note
holders, explained the circumstances
OF the railroad He dwelt upon the
financial conditions in America, which
interfere with the payment of the s
per cent notes that mature during this
present year.
The decision of the finance commit.
tee met with the approval of the note
holders. Only one interested firm,
Keyser & Co., which has made large
sales of the notes maturing in March
opposed the receivership and proposed
a different plan,

They We're present at the former hear
ing from the first day and their alb
sence this year has been commonly
noted.
The defense in the present trial is
insanity at the time Stanford White
was killed. In making out this case it
will require delicate handling to show
Thaw so mentally deranged at that
time as not to know the nature or
quality of his act and at the same time
show that he is now mentally sound.
Doctors Mabon, Macdonald and
Flint swore that in their opinion Thaw
is a paranoic, whose case is incurable.
1t is undoubtedly the intention of Mr..
Littleton, the new chief counsel for
the defense, to interrogate and draw
from these men the opinion that Thaw
was also insane at the time of the
homicide and then to limit all testi-
mony as to the defendants mental
condition to the immediate period of
the tragedy. If successful in this the
defense would force trial of the case
strictly on Thaw's mental condition in
the summer of 1906.
This, in turn, would force District
Attorney Jerome again to apply for q
lunacy commission and Thaw's attor.
neys are confident of his ability sue
cessfully to fight out his claim of pres,
ent sanity before such board.
Just what steps District Attorney
Jerome will take to combat this unex
pected move by the defense is not
known.
When the court adjourned for noon
luncheon three sworn and six pro
visional jurors occupied the box.

Helena, Mont, Jan. S.--Counsel for

days in the collection of $4,000 fine

FORCED TO TURN BACK
Missing Steamer Mount Royal
Arrives at Queenstown.
LAST REPORTED ON DEC. 10
Following Her Encounter With Series
of Violent Gales Her Boilers DeVel-
oped Trouble and She Was Unable
to Proceed to Destination,

Queenstown, Jan. 8-The long over
due steamer Mount Royal has steamed
slowly into Queenstown and the news
of her safety was received with glad
ness in shipping circles. She had not
been heard from in many days, having
been last reported off the Lizard Dec
10, and watch was being kept for her
on both sides of the Atlantic and as
far south as Bermuda.
The Mount Royal belongs to the
Canadian Pacific railways Atlantic
service She left Antwerp Dec. for
st. John, n. b. She had on board 800
Hungarian emigrants and a crew of
about 100 men.
Trouble with her boilers was the
reason the Mount Royal had to put
back. She is at best slow boat and
shortly after leaving the British coast
she encountered a series of violent
gales. She battled with the heavy
weather for a fortnight, until Christ
mas eve, when serious trouble with
her boilers developed. The engine
room staff ultimately succeeded in OBJ
tanning a moderate supply of steam,
but the weather was such that the
captain reluctantly decided it was best
to make for the Irish coast. Conse-
quently the steamer was headed about
and steamed slowly into port.
Passengers and crew are all well.

IN RECEIVERS HANDS
Court Takes Action Affecting the
Chicago Great Western.
EXPECTED TO BE TEMPORARY


Notes Now Due and Coming Due in
the Near Future is the Immediate
Cause of the Trouble.
st. Paul, Jan. "a. B. Stickney and
G. FL. F. Smith of st. Paul have been
appointed receivers for the Chicago
Great Western Railway company on
application of Attorney Frank B. Kel-
logg by Judge Sanborn of the United
States court of appeals.
The action was not wholly unlocked
for At meeting in London between
President Stickney and the finance
committee, representing the deben-
ture stock and the preferred stock A.,
the action was officially authorized.
The receivership is not the result
OF the action of any single stock
holder or creditor, but has been taken
after careful consideration by all par
ties interested, many of the creditors
and the board of directors.
The immediate reason for the re-
ceivership was the failure to obtain an
extension of the notes now due and
coming due during 1908, which were
given for money borrowed for improve
ment and betterment of the property.
The company has spent about $19,000,-
600 during the past ten years in lower
ing grades, constructing new bridges,
culverts, acquiring additional ter
minals and equipment, double track
ing and in general improvement and
betterment of the railway and has
outstanding notes for this purpose to
the amount of about $10,000,000. Dur
ing the last spring a plan for financ-
ing the road was agreed to by the
board of directors and the finance
committee, but owing to the strin-
genCy in the money market and other
unforeseen causes they have been un-
able to carry it out.
The earnings of the company were
very materially decreased during the
autumn by a strike at the shops,
which tied up the equipment. The
strike was won by the company, but
the damage had been done.
The receivership will be temporary
pending the time required to carry
through the plan of financing the road.
Everything possible has been done to
avoid a receivership, but it could not
be prevented

POSSE AFTER BOY BANDITS
Latter Guilty of One Murder and Sus-
pected of Another.

st. Louis, Jan. 9.-Armed posses
under the direction of Sheriff Herpel
are securing st. Louis and St. Charles
counties for the two boy robbers who
killed Bartender August Boss in his
saloon at Normandy Groves Tuesday
night. They then forced three Gus
toners into the icebox and robbed the
cash register. Later they forced the
customers in a saloon at Ferguson
into the icebox and robbed the cash
register. Their descriptions tally with
those of two masked boys who killed
Peter Dunn and robbed q saloon on
the night of Nov. 6.

SURPRISE FOR JEROME
Attorney LittIetOn Makes UneK-
pected Move in Thaw Case.
SUBPOENAES STATE EXPERTS
Witnesses Who Testified for Prosecu-
ton at Former Trial and Before
Questioned by the Defense.

New York, Jan. 9.-rThe defense in
the case of Harry X. Thaw sprung the
first greet surprise of the second trial
by announcing that it had issued sub
poenas for several of the expert wit
nesses who testified for the prosecu-
tion at the first hearing a year ago
and who, when District Jerome ap-
piled for a lunacy commission, made
affidavit that in their opinion Thaw
at the time of the inquiry was suffer
ing from an incurabIe form of insan-
ity. These same doctors, however,
had previously testified on the witness
stand, in response to Mr. Jerome's
famous hypothetical question, that
they believed Thaw knew what he was
about when he shot and killed Stan
ford White on the Madison Square
Roof Garden This move is intended
by the defense as block 10 the prose
cution in putting these same doctors
on the stand and is taken by some as
showing a determination that Thaw
shall not be convicted even with the
danger of a stay in the asylum for the
criminal insane at Matteawan as the
alternative
The alienists who were the main
stay Of the prosecution at the first
trial were Doctors William Mabon,
Carlos Macdonald and Austin Flint.

Shipping Acorns.

Eugene Hawkins, living near Hunt
fngdon, Tenn, has been for some time
shipping acorns to the Northern states,
receiving sometimes as high as 81 q
bushel for them. The acorns are used
for planting purposes, with view to
replenishing the forests of that section
Of the country, where efforts are being
made to restore the timber by planting
small trees. AS nearly all the oak
timber in this section of the state has
been consumed, acorns are becoming
scarce, and it would no doubt pay the
farmers of the South to follow the ex-
ample of the Northern people.
