RECEIVERS ARE APPOINTED

Boston, Dec. 80. - Receivers were
appointed in federal district court for
six corporation in which Henry
Siegel of New York, is a large owner.
One of the petitioners was the Siegel
stores corporation. The proceedings
are described as friendly, and follow
ed the appointment in New York Of
William Marble and John s.. Shep-
hard, jr., as receivers for the several
stores, concerned. No complete state
ment of the assets of liabilities Is
made although it is said half a. mil
lion is owing the Siegel stores by
various concerns.
Chicago, Dec. 30.-Max Pam, coun-
sci for the Siegel Cooper Co.. also the
Siegel Stores Co., said the Boston re-
ceivership in no way affects Siegel
Cooper of Chicago. Pam said in part:
THE Siegel Stores corporation is
the holder of all the capital stock of
the Sampson Crawford Co., New York,
the Fourteenth street store, New
York, and also creditor for those two
companies, also Of the Henry Siegel
Co. Boston, and as such creditor In
stituted proceedings for the appoint
me11t of a receiver Of those three
companies. and which receivers have
been appointed and the business TAX
en- in charge by them.
The condition which precipitated
the deals was largely due to the con-
traction Of the bank credit of the three
firms mentioned and the commercial
paper market. Under orders OF the
court the receivers will continue the
business of all the stores until the re-
sumption of business by them. Sieged
Cooper Of Chicago is in no way involv-
ed. 1t is entirely independent of the
stores in the east, and has not had
it's financial credit impaired, or con-
tracted either banks or commercial
paper as Is the case Of the eastern
stores

SAYS NATIONAL
AGREEMENT IS
NOT ADEQUATE

Lacrosse, Wis. Dec 3O-Holding
that the national telephone settlement
failed to give the adequate relief con-
templated by the Wisconsin statute,
Frank Winter, a partner of Congress
man Esch, and plaintiff in a test Wis
consin law requiring the physical con-
nection of all telephone companies.
filed in the circuit court stipulation
for motion that the Wisconsin case
be pressed to trial.
The Bell company made the answer
that the trial was unnecessary be-
cause, under the proposed national
agreement, connection with the inde-
pendents was provided for, hence there
was nothing to litigate.
Winter now alleges the national
settlement Is not adequate relief. and
provides connection only on toll busi-
ness carried for a minimum of fifty
miles and also requires the independ-
ents to pay 10 cent bonus per
message.

David J.. Lewis, member of the
house of representatives from
Maryland, has introduced a bill
for the government ownership OF
telegraph and telephone lines, He
was the author of the bill for the
parcel post. which now works sue
cessfully.
This action was taken by the
Maryland congressman following
the announcement by Attorney
General McReynolds that an ar
rangement had been made by him
and officials of the American Tel
ephone Co. for it to give up its
stock in the Western Union Co.
The ownership of Western Union
stock by the telephone company
was believed to be in violation OF
the Sherman act, but the attorney
general and President Wilson un-
dertook peaceful settlement In
preference to a fight in the courts.
The bill of Mr.. Lewis is in line
with the report of Postmaster
General Burleson, who advocated
government ownership Of the
wires. Dispatches from Washing
ton. however, indicate that the
president will not indorse the rec
concentrations of his cabinet off,
