William ". OoWney Named By Special Judge Woods
As Receiver For The C0nCern---7hiS Action Taken
To Prevent Loss To The Stockholders Fine
New Plant Will Shortly Rise From
The Ashes

Before Attorney j. NJ. Woods, sitting
as a special judge in the Circuit Court
THIS morning, application was made by
several of the principal stockholders
of the Stewart Vehicle Company for
a receiver for that company, ana after
of counsel, Special Judge Woods grant-
ed that application and named Will
liam w. DoWney as receiver. Mr.
Downey will be required by the court
TO furnish bond in the sum of $3.50. eco
This action, following so swiftly up
on the heels of the great fire that de
stroyed the plant OF the Stewart We
hicle Company Sunday night, came as
surprise to many; but it had been de-
eided by those stockholders holding Il
majority of the stock of the company
to ask for a receiver in order to pro
tect the company from probably SER
ious loss, and to facilitate the adjust
ment of the affairs of the company.
The stockholders who filed the pc
tition and who acted for those holding
a majority of the stock were w. W
Downey, +. l.. Downey Judge e.

To Protect The Business.
The purpose of the stockholders in
asking for the appointment of re-
ceiver is primarily to protect the
company from loss in the adjustment
of its affairs, and also to separate the
business OF the company up to the
time of the fire from the future bust
ness Of the concern The receiver
will handle the insurance, amounting
to $107, 900, and the book accounts Of
the company, amounting to about $4i.,
600, which will be collected as soon
as possible, Following the adjust
ment of the insurance and the collec-
ton of the accounts, it is the purpose
of the company to take up immediate
ly the work of rebuilding the plant on
an even larger scale and to reorgan-
ize the company to vigorously develop

EARLY TO COUNT THE CHICKS
BY Action Of Democratic Senators II
Seems They Are Taking Much
for Granted.

The Democratic senators are doing
an amusing lot of rainbow chasing
these days. The latest example of this
pleasing pastime has, however, come
very near to causing a row, and has
already engendered much bad blood.
The radicals, who dislike Senator Sim.
mons of North Carolina, banking on a
Democratic landslide. which will give
their party majority of the senate.
have decided to overthrow the long
established rule of precedence and to
throw Senator Simmons bodily off the
hnance committee. or, at least, to de-
prive him of the craftsmanship. to
which he will be entitled by virtue Of
seniority when Bailey retires-if the
Democrats have majority In the SEN
ate. Despite the hypothetical char
acter of this situation. the Democrats
are already calling each other names.
and Senator Simmons feels as bruised
as II he had already been thrown out.
The situation strikingly recalls the
case OF the man and his wife. who.
having purchased lottery ticket, be-
gan discussing what they would do
with the money. They decided to buy
a horse and surrey. when little John
ME butted in and insisted he must
ride In the front seat. His father re-
monstrated with him. and finally
whipped him and insisted that he
must get out of the carriage and stay
at home.
