Reorganization Plans.
Further, the receiver Wallace was
the owner of bonds and capital stock
of the steel company to the amount
of about 100000. Il does not ap-
pear that the receiver Winchester
owned either bonds or stock of that
company. A given plan for reorgan-
ization might be very advantageous to
a large bondholder and .stockholder
and at The same time detrimental to
other bondholder- and general cred
itors. The evidence points unmistak-
ably to an effort on the part of the
receivers to secure a reorganization
of the steel company without any au-
thority on their part so to do. The
large amount of travelingg expenses,
together with other evidence in the
case, cannot be reconciled with a
mere intent on the part of the receiv-
ers to effect a sale in contradistinc-
tion to a reorganization of the com
pany. And this accounts for many
of the delay in the performance of
their duties as receivers and in their
settlement of the estate.
The evidence shows that the re-
ceivers with respect to a number of
matters affecting the interests of the
bondohlders and general creditors
proceeded withou. due consideration
of their authority, or any application
through their counsel for instruc-
selves for entering into sundry unau-
thorized transactions upon the ground
that no loss resulted to the estate.
This ir PARTICULAR ytTuc Of what was
designated in the argument as the
trading account. The receivers on
their petition to the court had re-
ceived authority to manufacture GER
tain portions of unmanufactured ma
terials, as in their judgment would
facilitate or render more profitable
the sale and disposition of the pro-
duct, and to purchase from time To
time such materials as would EN-
able them to carry on such limited
manufacture as above authorized, and
to purchase such manufactured ma
terials in the open market as in their

ized.' Instead Of confning them
selves within the limits Of the au-
thority thus conferred the receivers
used the funds Of the estate for the
PURCHASE Of manufactured material
to a large amount. not within the
scope Of their authority, and resolt
the same. claiming that they haC

moral intent. But solel vas illustrs-
tive of the laxity which marked their
dealings with the property Of the
estate, it appears from the evidence
that the receiver Wallace made use
of its funds for the purchase of Ger
tain coal for himself and sundry en-
ployes OF the receivers without caus-
ing any charge therefore to be made
on the receivers books, although ad-
mittlng before the master on the
reference this irregularity. Doubtless
this was an innocent error. but. oc-
curing on the part of a receiver,
discloses a degree OF inattention or
negligence not compatible with a
proper discharge of the fiduciary du-
ties attaching to The position. No
case can be marked by such delay, ir-
regularities and loss to creditors
largely through the inattention or
negligence of the receivers as have
been here displayed without causing
reproach TO the administration Of JUS
tice. II is impossible 10 read the evi-
dence. the briefs of counsel and the
report Of the master without being
impressed with the conviction that the
receivers largely dealt with the prop
erty of the steel company without any
| Just recognition of teh obligation they
we're under to act only according 10
their authority. but in the same man
ner as II they and not the court had
sole jurisdiction and power over the
administration and disposition of the
estate. II was urged with much in
sistance by the counsel for the receiv-
hers that from the nature and circum-
stances of their appointment they
we're clothed with a discretion in the
exercise of their official duty and
could not be held accountable for any
loss or damage resulting to the cred
itors OF the steel company from an
honest exercise of that discretion.
! This is true. subject to the impor-
tant proviso, that in the exercise of
their discretionary power they we're
not guilty of carelessness, negligence,
extravaganza. or other fault resulting
in loss which would and should have
been avoided by reasonably prudent
men in the discharge of their duty as
trustees. In the present case the re-
ceivers in their management Of the
estate clearly did not satisfy the pro-
Yiso.
1T is claimed that the receiver Wal
lace is entitled to consideration and
condemnation by reason of the fact
that he succeeded in collecting from
certain points the sum of S62, 1882
and turning II over to the receivers
and that while he I'm his private ca.
pscity had no title TO the above sum
or any part Of II, yet il was solely
on account of his personality that 4
was possible to collect the same. i
should be said with respect to this
matter that the evidence, documen
tary and circumstantial, shows to Z
moral demonstration that as between
Wallace and the estate of the stee
company whatever right there was e
receive the above sum was vested, no
in Wallace, but in the estate, and tha
it was obtained by the receivers by
virtue of their receivership.

pability as is shown in the settlement
of the estate of the steel company.
But at the same time Winchester as
a co-receiver who failed to scrutinize
more closely what was done cannot
be exonerated. If he be the victim
OF misplaced confidence he must
nevertheless bear the consequences.
In the decision of this case the
court is bound to consider the inter

ut is impracticable, as it is unneces-
sary. TO discuss in detail the various ex-
ceptions taken by the respective parties
to the masters findings He has with
unusual assiduity and ability treated
and disposed of the subject t-matter of
the exceptions in his voluminous and
well considered report. He was confront
ed with duty most embarrassing in
some respects. calling for the exercise Of
sound judgment, especially IN the matter
of making partial allowances of credits
claimed by the receivers where through
omission by them in their books and
vouchers TO separate proper from i'm
proper items there was no means Of
reaching clear and mathematical divis-
ion or apportionment. In the discharge
lof this delicate and difficult duty he has
displayed sound Judgment and zeal TO
reach proper results.
Il am satisfied after an examination
Of the record and of the arguments Of
counsel that his findings, conclusions and
recommendation should not be disturb
, ed. II may be that the court in the alb
sence Of reference might have been
less liberal to the receivers and their
counsel. but on the whole | think there
is no substantial ground of objection.
with respect to the disposition Of the
costs and expenses of the reference in
question / am not prepared to overrule
the finding of the master that they
should be borne equally by the receivers
and the estate
The exceptions to the findings of the
master must be overruled and his report
in all respects approved and confirmed.

opinion be prepared and submitted"

The Buddha ranking next in desirability

deity as he sat in meditation, and is con-
sidered a valua BILE specimen by collectors.
According to the lives of Buddha. who
in this posture is always shown seated in
lotus blossom. the teacher sat thus for
six years beneath DO tree at Buddha-
Gaya. which is 125 miles from Benares.
In penance and meditation he remained
there, receiving from the God of the Uni
Verse instructions in the tenets he was
afterWard to preach. While he sat at
the roadside he became emaciated and
"a living skeleton. The natives regarded
him as an object of contempt. Hydra
headed demons fired volleys of poisoned
arrows at him, according to legend, but
before they could penetrate his body
they fell at his feet in showers of lotus
blossoms. Throngs of beautiful women.
toe, were sent to distract him. but he
resisted their charms and completed his
period of abnegation.
Washington collectors declare that the
standing Buddha is the easiest to OBJ
tain. The figure is generally shown
standing upon lotus blossom, with one
hand raised in militant preaching. He
is Buddha the teacher, after he had be-
gun his ministry. Most of the standing
Buddhas are of Japanese origin, and are
largely made of wood, heavily lacquered
with gold
Now, when antiquity has been fully
proven. there is yet one other feature
in Buddhas upon which Washington col
lectors insist. The figure must have a
restful, placid countenance. No Buddha
with an unpleasant harsh expression
can hope fer enforcement in the eX-
elusive homes here. But. as general
thing. it would be hard to find a more

nately enameled. He has also some I'M
usually rare African gods
In Mr.. Heitmuller's collection is one
piece which cannot be classed with Bud
dhas or with Hindoo gods but which is
worthy of mention. Some years ago Mr..
Heltmuller purchased an ancient church
in Germany. Upon the altar was figure
of the Virgin. This stood i'm Mr.. Heit-
mullers collection for years, until he
noticed one day that canvass had been
pasted upon the head of the figure and
upon the base Tearing the canvas off
he discovered hole. which apparently
ran straight through the figure. BY
running stick into the hole. Mr.. Heit-
muller discovered an obstacle. Saving
the figure in two at the point of OBJ
struction, he brought to light a little
bundle of time-yellowed and stained
altar cloth. Within the wrappings were
three bits of bone, resembling the
knuckles of a human hand, and a pic
ture OF San john. done on parchment.
To the bits of bone were attached strips
of parchment bearing legends believed
to be Gaelic. written in Greek, for no
one has yet been able to decipher them.
They are believed to be relics of St
John.
Although there is no possible connec-
ton between the happenings the fad
for Buddhas in Washing ton has risen
simultaneously with revival of the
Buddhist faith in China and Japan. In
India. where most of the natives are
Brahmins and Worship the HindOo

to the unSuSpecting amateur at bar
gain. Small bone Buddhas, exhibiting
the snowy Wilderness of recent carving,
are sold as ivory, and composition
of pressed celluloid is often offered
under the alias of old. yellowed ivory.
But none of those cheap, fake figures
have found favor in the sight of col
lectors in Washington. To be valued a
Buddha must be of unquestionable an
tiquity. The Buddhas made IN China
during the early Ming or Sung dynasties
bring high prices, and are highly valued.
Real antiques are thrown upon the
market only by unusual happenings, such
as the Boxer uprising in China which
brought to light in the city OF Foo Chow

which We're 1,.rD to 1000 Years old

Washington collectors know, are decep-
tive to the uninitiated. The Hndoo Trim

male and female Buddhas. There are
Buddhas representing all virtues. and
then there are the attendant priests of
Buddha. Yet all of them are classed
under the general term ''Buddhas.' al
though in different countries different
names have been given Buddha and his
.incarnationS.
In determining what form of Buddha a
given specimen is. the position of the
hands plays "A great part. as well as the
position of the figure. For instance, upon
the position of the hands depends whether
the Buddha represents mercy or clemency,
or whether it represents teaching or
meditation. The position of the hands
is called the mundras.'
Buddhist figures are given different
names. For instance. the kwannOn of
Japan is the goddess of mercy, and the
Chinese goddess of motherhood is kwOng
Yin. The Japanese "Bishamon." god OF
wealth, is also one of this group
Most Of the Ruddhas to be found in
Washington collections are of Japanese
origin. In that country, when Buddhism
made inroads upon the ancient Shintoism
of the country believers in Buddha car
ried with them small figures of the great
teacher, incased in lacquer coverings.
These images are invariably of intricate
workmanship and do not follow any given
design. Therefore, it is not unusual to
find Buddhas represented as having nine
or ten hands each hand holding a SYM
Dol of some part of the Japanese temple
worship. Whenever a believer in Buddha
entered house he would hang his image
OF Buddha beside the door
The presence of go many of the small
Japanese Buddhas here Is easily explain
ed for sailors on shore leave, in the
early days, We're wont to go through
whole streets in Japanese villages, de-
spelling the doorways of the hanging
gods. The cases containing these gods
We're frequently changed. but the figure
itself was kept in the Japanese families
for many generations.
From Japan. by way of California
where they were brought by immigrants
have recently come some fine examples
of old stone Buddhas. cut from a peculiar
gray sandstone not to be found In this
country. The Chinese and Indian Bud
dhas. as a rule. are of the seated variety,
with but two hands and without cases.
while the Buddhas from Burma usually
resemble those to be found in Japan.
The most difficult Buddha to obtain,
and one OF which there are few examples
even i'll the collections of Washington
and New York. is the reclining Buddha
upon his death bed, about to enter mir
vana. Examples of this sort are eX-
tremely rare. The largest Of Its kind
