FIGHT FOR THE MONEY
EMo9e to Prevent Turning Co Fund
Over to State Receivers.

Kansas City, Jan. 31.-Attorney
Dana for the federal receivers today
asked that Judge Mcpherson delay
the issuance Of an order turning the
money over to the state receivers un-
til he. Dana. could obtain the disso-
luton Of an Injunction now pending
in the court Of Judge Flhnnelly of
Independence, KAN. restraining Dana
from appearing I'm court in the gas
question. John n. Atwood. attorney
for the state receivers, objected to
Dana aslking anything on the ground
that through his present appearance
he was in contempt Of Judge Flan-
nelly.
s<WiH your honor withhold the
granting of rights to the receivers ap-
pointed by Judge Flannelly merely be-
cause this man In contempt OF Judge
Flannelly objects?" asked Atwood of
the court.
A heated controversy then arose be-
tween Atwood and Dana After the
court had asked the meaning OF q
long word used by Atwood. the latter
said sadly: IN
"Your honor II well aware OF my
slowness of speech and would seek to
throw me or the line OF my afgu-
ments" Atwood argued that the
money owing to the Kansas Natural
Gas company now hold by the federal
receivers Of the company. was for gas
furnished by the Kansas Natural and
should be turned over to that COM
pany the same as was the physical
property Of the company formerly
held by the federal receiverA The
amount involved ID estimated at
$1,500,00o. More than 100000 of this
already has been paid to the federal
receivers and arrangements have been
made by the two distributing COM
panies for paying the balance to
them.
