Former Superintendent Ap- piled for a Receiver
 for Concern.
Answer is Made that Some of His Stock Was Fraud
 ulently Issued.
Plaintiff is Charged With Wrong Doings of Various Kinds-Claimed that He Resigned from Board of Directors on Request.

An answer has been filed in the Civil Superior Court to the original state ment of the appointment of a receiver of the funds of the Bias Narrow Fabric Co. Of this city, of which company John Anderson was superintendent and stockholder. The company now wishes to deposit certified check and to purchase the stock of John Ander- son, who has petitioned for receiver. The answer which deals particularly With Anderson, is as follows:
 AS to paragraph 2 it is admitted that the said John Anderson is the possessor of 140 shares of the com
 pany's stock. but that 60 of the 40 shares of the stock were fraudently issued to Anderson without anyone causing them to be issued and that they should be cancelled. That certi- ncates of the remaining 30 shares, to- gether with the other 50 shares. are in the hands of the corporation, as col lateral by Anderson. to said corpora ton to secure payment of $2O50, with on note due Dec. 1909. The corporation possesses a lien on all shares for said indebtness.
 Following the said corporation lien the stock is subject to an indebtness in favor of Frederick B. Barton for $3OOO. under attachment of Feb. g.. 1909. and B. G. Starr, under attach ment for s1,500. on Feb. F. 1909. That the said lien of the corporation is for the indebtness caused by wrongful en- bezzlement, misappropriation and con version of the funds of the corporation by Anderson while he was acting al superintendent of the factory in Bridgeport. from which position he re- signed on request of the board of directors of the corporation, and has retired from taking part in the affairs of the corporation because of his wrong doing and breaches of trust.''

 After reciting that he has been gov- ernor of Tennessee for two years and is now serving his second term, Gov. Patterson said:
 T knew Senator Carmack and Colo nel Cooper. I went to the Tulane Hotel on November to find Colonel Cooper at the request of his daugh- ter, Mrs. Burch, who had asked me to see her father. I was with my sec retary, Will Scruggs, but couldn't find the Colonel. I went from there to the Tulane. Finally I went to the Maxwell House where I found the Col onel. l talked with him about send ing the letter in which he told MT. Carmack that if the latter continued his attacks upon him the town wouldn't be big enough to hold them both. | advised strongly against send ing this letter. MT. Bradford and Rob- in Cooper also told the Colonel that he had better not send the letter
 "At last Colonel Cooper agreed to let Bradford have the letter and we met Bradford in his office at D. 'm thought the matter was settled and went back to my office accompanied by Robin Cooper part of the way. Robin thanked me for what I had done and as we parted tears were in his eyes. I advised him to stay with his father as much as he could. also asked Mrs. Williamson, who was 1unching with the Colonel that day, to keep him at the Maxwell House until the time of the conference"
 Governor Patterson said he had written to ex-Governor Cox of his own initiative and that Colonel Cooper was not responsible for affecting a rec onciliation between himself and Cox. He said relations between himself and Cox had been fairly well.

 Problem. Satisfied With Any Scheme to Connect With Cen

Plan of City Engineer Me- Kenna Most Feasible Yet Proposed - Wheeler Ob4 Jects to It-McElroy Op- poses One Scofeld Planx and Manwaring, foB Bridge Commission, Is Against Another.

Benjamin Fletcher, who is chairr,ars of the committee htat has been ap- pointed to consider means of ineress ana egress from and to the proposed car barns. made a statement last nisFt which will meet a sympathetic res- ponse.
 MT. Fletcher believes the car barn should be located in the outskirts of, the city, He thinks the center of the city IS no place for a car barn.
 rms statement was made after ffai meeting of the committee with vfces President Calvert Townley of the Con- necticut Company, which took place last night.
 It was brought out by the failure of; one plan after another to afford sat-, 1sfaction. of a universal kind
 The best practical solution of the plan so far is that drawn by City En- g1neer McKenna, which runs one track up Gold street and connects at Main street, and runs down Water street. to Golden Hill street. from the proposed site of the barn, north of the Adamss Express building, and connects there
 In order to satisfy Samuel H. Whee- Ter, Engineer Scofield, of the commit tee, devised plan to use Congress street. Also 0 plan which runs a track tHrougn water street in front of the plant of McElroy Bros., while another track is laid at the rear of the build ing. McElroy Bros, do not like this plan and oppose it.
 President Manwaring, of the Con- gress street bridge commission is a member of the special committee. He is out to safeguard a free means of access to the proposed bridge and does not want any tracks in the roadway at the intersection of Middle, Congress and Water streets.
 As there is protest from so many sources the committee is up against one of the knottiest questions the city has had to deal with for some time past
