even those who resigned from the in
satution many years ago. S. b. White
mead as attorney for C. NJ. Kemper,
mas tiled in the Corporation Court of
this city an amended petition, In which
he seeks to compel the directors to
make good to all the creditors OF the
trust corporation any deficiency that
would arise in paying out TO them
the amounts due them IS creditors
The amended petition Is one that fol-
lows d rule made by Judge Barley
some months ago, that all the suits
against the directors must be united
In one. and Mr.. Kemper's petition Is
the result Of this rule. The petition
recltes the history OF the failure of
the company and gives the following
reasons why the directors should be
held responsible:
First, the stock of the corporation
was mover paid for: second, that there
We're paid in dividends to the stock
holders OF the trust company about
100000. in pladn violation of the law,
as none were ever earned third, by
the embezzlement by c. J. RiNey. pres.
iuene ana treasurer. OF large sums of
money; fourth. by tho loaning OF large
sums OF money to utterly insolvent
and non-existing concerns in which g.
j. Rixey was interested.
The petition further charges that
statements were made to the State
Corporation Commission by c. j. Rixey
and attested by various membert OF
the board. which were untrue; that no
cashier was elected as required by
law that the directors failed to meet
every three months and count the cash,
but turned all the affairs of the in
stitutfon over to C. J. R3xey to man
age and act Just as he chose
The petition, which Is quite lengthy,
goes into many details OF thu manner
in which Mr.. Rixey withdrew money
from the concern. and says that ordi-
nary diligence would have prevented

OF negligence the corporation has been

said.
The vertical ruddeI quit working
for some reason, and all ! could do
was to 60 around in a circle My ma
chine swung 70 the left in the spires,
then dropped ana hit a couple of trees
damaging the frame badly. The en-
glne, though, is all right My back Is
wrenched, but the skin is not broken
1t win take three or four days to re-
build the machine"
Fowler says the fight, after leav-
ing COlfaX, was smooth and he enter
tanned every hope OF successfully top
ping the Sierras, despite the encoun-
tering Of contrary and perplexing air
currents When in the neighborhood
of Alta, and about two miles east of
Dutch Flat. something suddenly went
wrong with the aeroplane The ma
chine began going around in circles
and dipping to the earth. getting com
pletely beyond the control of the avia-
tor.
The aeroplane struck in the top of
a large pine tree at the edge of a
gorge, wrecking the machine, which
settled swiftly to the rocky ground
Fowler was caught in the wreckage.
The aviator faced the most difficult
flight of the entire journey. In cross |
ing the Sierras he may reach an alti-
tude of more than 5000 feet. He said
he probably would fly about 1000 feet
above the summit, which would give
him an altitude of between $500 and |
5000 feet. From Auburn, where he
had started in the morning, TO the
highest point over which Fowler must |
pass, is only sixty-eight miles. So he
was compelled to climb skyward al
most from the time his machine left |
he ground.
Expecting to encounter severe cold
Turing the three and a half or four
hours, in crossing the mountains,
Fowler dressed warmly.
