Ex-Governor VIM. 7, Cobb
IS Appointed Receiver
For the Mt. Waldo Granite
Quaf1ies IN Frankfort.
Action Follows Failure Of Pierce
Co. and Bradley In New York.

Rockland, Me-, June 17.-Former
Governor William T. Cobb today was.
by mutul agreement, appointed receiv-
er for the Mount Waldo granite quar-
ries in the town of Frankfort, one of
the largest and finest granite plants in
this country, and owned by John
Pierce and a brother, both of New
York, by whom it was inherited from
their father. The appointment was
made by Judge Whitchouse of the
Maine supreme court and follows close
ly on the appointment in New York last
week of Ichabod Williams & Son as
receivers for the John Pierce Co. and
VIM. Bradley & Son, Inc, of that city.
The mana cement of these firms is iden-
teal. The New York receivership pro-
ceedings were instituted through ina
bility to collect outstanding accounts,
and the Maine receivership followed as
natural sequence. The New York
failure has large bearing on Maine
granite interests
The John Pierce Co. was incorporated
in New York in 1905 with a capitaliza-
ton of $l,250,000 and VIM. Bradley &
Son, Inc, was formed in the same city
In 1902 with 100000 capital.
The principal contract now being
filed at Mt Waldo is to furnish cut
stone for the st. Louis library and $50
men are at work there. Former Gov.
Cobb understands that work there
will not be interrupted. A number of
other firms in this section have con-
tracts sub-let to them by the New York
firms among them being the material
for the Chicago terminal. Work is go
ing along on these as if nothing had
happened.
New York, June Hilary X. s.
Williams. receiver of the John Pierce
Co, the recently suspended contracting
firm, was today authorized by Supreme
Court Justice Guy to borrow 100000
at per cent. interest, with which to
carry on the work of the firm for the
next 80 days. The creditors of the
company consented that the order be
issued
In his petition the receiver set forth
the needs of the company for the sue
cessful continuance of contracts now
on hand which includes the completion
of the New York Central Railroad ter
minal. the Public library and State
Educational building at Albany The
receiver estimated that there was
100000 coming to the company on
contracts and this amount with thu.
borrowed money, he said, would hep
to put the company on substantial
financial basis.

GREEN MOUNTAIN DAY
SUCCESS AT REDONDO
BASKET LUNCHEON ENJOYED
BY MANY VERM0NTERS
Leqends and Ballads Famous In His
tory Are Recited to Music OF
the Surf of the
Pacific
Especial to The Herald.1

REDONDO BEACH, Sept. "a large
number of the former residents of the
Green Mountain state spent the day
here in their annual fall outing
enjoying basket lunch in the
picnic grove and listening to speeches
and witticisms from former spellbind-
ers from the country of hard cider and
maple sugar.
There were slews of folks from all
over, some from up Poltney way, some
from over the mountain, others from
Montpelier and still more from down
Bellows Falls and Brattleboro. Berlin
Corners and Williamstown; East Ran
dolph and Putney, all contributed their
quota of sons and descendants OF sons
of the hardy old Vermont state.
Legends and ballads descriptive Of
Ethan Allen and 'old IT," Becky Sharp
and Bennington and New Hampshire
Grants, were passed around time and
again until each one present felt little
trills of pleasure at their good fortune
in being born in the state which, with
it's small area, has had large share
in the history making and foundation
building of a great nation.
In spite of the dense fog which hung
over the beach all day, the members
of the party enjoyed themselves i'm
mensely, taking in the amusement
features of the city, bathing in the
new plunge and dancing in the pavilion
to a late hour.

PACIFIC WHARF COMPANY
WILL BUILD BIG DREDGER
Concession at East Jetty viii Be
improved at Once by Construc-
tion of Slip No.

The directors of the Pacific Wharf
and Storage company decided yester-
day afternoon to ask for bids for the
immediate construction of a twenty
inch dredger which the company will
use in opening slip No. l on its con-
cession at the harbor. 1t was decided
that the amount Of dredging which
the company will have may be handled
cheaper with its own outfit than by
contract. AS soon as the dredger can
be built the completion of the first
slip will be pushed as rapidly as pos
sible. The preliminary work has al
ready been completed.
Slip No. 1 on the company's conces-
sion is located at the end nearest Dead
mans Island and will be almost di-
rectly across the channel from the
Southern Pacific slip. 1t will be dredged
to a low water depth of twenty-five
feet. At least three other slips Will be
constructed later. opening on the chan
mel through what is now the east

Special service TO The Herald by E. F. Hut
ton & Co, members Chicago board OF trade
liz West Third street, Los Angeles
CHICAGO, Sept "a further fair advance
was made in wheat today. The chiet I'M
petus has come from the great strength IN
corn and from the Russian crop figures. Ihe
latter have been sensational, although ofhciaL
and have been accorded morec redence than
is usual with Russian figures where the
shipping facts are contrary. Except Tor the
enormous shipments from Russia, the hsures
today would probably stir the trade greatly,
they show only 100000 bushels more winter
wheat and spring wheat and 3O,0OO,OOO bushAs
less receipts than last year. The northwest,
Winnipeg included has Jagged. Cash wheat
al Minneapolis is again weaker.
Trade In corn has been enormous in all de-
partments. The government report had the
effect of stimulating cash demand which has
taken 1000 bushels cash corn here today,
and there has been tremendous covering by
shorts and new buying of futures by investors.
Sales Of old and new corn in some parts OF
Illinois have been stopped by the new turn
given by the official figures, while the ad-
vance has stimulated sales OF new corn by
farmers in other instances.
There was a big general trade in oats. The
advance has disclosed the existence of a large
short interest, which grows more uneasy as
values ascend. Some Of the leading September
shorts have sold today. meanwhile buying
more or less December. The selling Of Decem-
ber on hard spots has been fairly influential.

SENT TO CITY HOSPITAL
Tries to Telephone to His Friene
When He Finds Rodent at

&c. @. D." was the telephone. not

family at the receiving hospital early
yesterday morning.
A quick response from the receiving
hospital elected the information that
w. G.. Bowles a motorman employed
by the Los Angeles railway, was in
danger of infection from the bubonic
plague, and word was Immediately for
warded to send the aforesaid Bowles
to the receiving hospital.
II have been bitten by rat" were
the first words of the injured motor
man. and to substantiate his story he
held up his right hand and blood was
trickling from the middle finger.
While the surgeons were busy cau-
terizing the wound, Bowles told the
story of what happened.
Il was anxious to get a telephone
communication and the only place
where 1 could find telephone booth
was in a saloon near the corner OF
South Main street and Ninth. I was
holding the receiver with my left
hand, with my right dangling by my
side, when 1 felt sharp tug and upon
drawing up the right hand / found
dangling a rat, the size of which re-
minded me of stories that have read
about wharf rodents. l soon made
disconnections, both on the telephone
and with Mr.. Rat"
At the receiving hospital it was
deemed advisable, to prevent against
oontagion, that the nail of the injured
finger be pierced and the wound cau-
terized and drained. The surgeons 40
not fear any serious consequences un-
less blood poisoning should happen.
Bowles lives at 748 East Fortieth
street. No warrant has been Issued

Lspeclal to The HeraId.l

MONROVIA, Sept. 9.-Anent the re-
cent arrests of many auto speeders
who used the oiled streets of Mon
rovia as a public speedway, the reso-
luton adopted yesterday evening by
the city council. limiting the speed Of
all vehicles was favorably received.

ordinance be passed, and it is more
than likely that, at the next meeting
of the council, some such provision
will be made.

assistants, is making every prepara-
ton to enforce it to the letter. A
