H. WOODS COMPANY
IN BANKRUPTCY
ANCIlLARY PROCEEDINGS ARE
BEGUN HERE.
Object to Hold Mesa Crop Contracts
Under Receivership.

Ancillary proceedings in a bank
ruptcy case which extends from the
Pacific to the Atlantic and from Chi
Caso southwest, reached Phoenix yes
terday when 4 petition in involuntary
bankruptcy was filed in district court
against the II. Woods company of Chi
cage. This concern for some years has
been handling the cantaloupe crop of
Mesa.
The petitioners are the Yakima Hor-
ticultural union of North Yakima,
Wash. and August Stoerk and George
b. KershaW of Chicago. The original
petition was filed in the northern dis
trict of Illinois and it was granted by
Judge Carpenter of the court for that
district The proceedings were Ger
titled here by Judge Kenesaw NJ. Lam
dis. who rose to fame once by filming
the standard Oil company $4,000, 600
odd dollars. That the fine ultimately
did not stick does not detract from the
fame o. Judge Lands.
But returning from the oil trust to
the bankruptcy case. the petition was
based upon the allegation that the COM
mission company had committed sev-
eral acts OF bankruptcy. The first was
that when il was known To be insol-
vent it paid the First National Bank
Of Chicago $4,000 and that later it
gave a bill of sale of what assets We're
left, TO the John Nix company. a com
mission firm of New York
In this petition, it was alleged that
the liabilities Of the Woods company
were i'm excess of 500. 600. and that its
over they were Of a character that
could not be Immediately realized up
on and required conservation by a re-
ceiver. Edward Byrnes of Chicago was
appointed receiver.
In the ancillary petition it is stated
that a part OF the assets of the com
mission company are To be found in
the vicinity of Mesa. They consist OF
CantalOupe crates. machinery ana crop
liens secured. it is alleged, by the ad-
vance of money by the Woods company
to the growers. The agent of the COM
pany at Mesa is Bert Wingar who 1T
is charged, has become the agent of the
Nix company and Will unless re-
strained, divert the contracted canta-
loupe crop of that region to the Nix
company. 1t is estimated that the crop
VIII amount to 300 carloads of the value
of $1,000 each. and that the profits to
the commission house would he about
$4,000
The court here is asked to extend the
receivership OF Mr.. Byrnes over these
assets and that Mr.. Wiuger AMI various
other persons, members of the Mesa
growers association, be enjOihed from
interfering with him in the discharge
Of his duties. Judge Kent granted the
order
