RECEIVER
APPOINTED FOR The HOOKING VALLEY
WILL Be CONTESTED.

Columbus, Ohio. May l6.-It was
announced tonight that tomorrow at
torneys for the Hooking Valley Rail-
way company will apply to Federal
Judge Saler, for an order to head off
a receivership for the Hooking Valley
established today by Judge E. B.
Kinkead. ofthe common pleas court.
Judge Kinkead appointed John NJ.
Sheets, former attorney general of
Ohio, and Henry ]. Booth, local at
torney, as receivers for the Hooking
Valley. A few minuts later he over
ruled the motion to have the case
transferred to the federal court.
The court enjoined the Chesapeake
and Ohio Railway company from
voting stock in the Hooking Valley
recently acquired and held that the
last election Of the Hooking Valley
1t which the Chesapeake and Ohio
interests asserted their control, by
the election of Chesapeake and Ohio
men as officers and directors of the
Hooking Valley, was illegal. In the
eourts's judgment the Chesapeake and
Ohio was within its rights in buying
Hooking Valley stock as an invest
ment but not for the purpose of con-
trolling the company.

tically gave up all hope of any Of the

The steamer Sir Williams Siemans,
which was said to have picked up
some of the missing crew, passed
Detour today and made no report OF
