N. !. RECEIVER FOR
STEAM PUMP CO.
English Woman in Suit Against
S29,OO0,000 Trust Already
in Bankruptcy Here.

The New Jersey Court of Chancery
will appoint receiver for the Inter
national Steam Pump Company, the
insolvent S29,000,000 trust. Two re-
ceivers have been designated by the
Federal District Court for New York
City, but Vice Chancellor Stevenson
decided yesterday to name one, as the
company was incorporated in New Jer-
gey and holds 100000 of stock of the
big plant Of the Worthington Company,
at Harrison.
The petition for the receiver was
lodged by Mrs. Ethel Elms, of Lech-
worth, England, who holds $4,000 OF
the company stock. Counsel for the
corporation and the bondholders OPP
posed, contending that a New Jersey
receiver would have nothing TO do, as
the assets were all in New York.
The vice-chancellor stated he had
carefully examined the evidence and
concluded a receiver should be APP
pointed and an order disabling the cor
poration from exercising its franchise
should he issued. There was no proof
that there were no assets in New Jer-
sey.
He deferred selecting a receiver and
suggested that counsel agree on man
or set Of men and submit the names.

ROCKEFELLER PUT
ON HIGH PEDESTAL
Benefactor of the Entire
World in Very Process
of Making Money.

Boston, Dec. 12.-Charles W. Eliot,
president Of Harvard University,
speaking to-day before the Twentieth
Century Club, declared that the organi-
zation of the Standard Oil Company By
John D. Rockefeller was zone of the
most beneficent works ever done"
Mr.. Rockefeller himself, DR.. Eliot
said, was "the best business man this
country ever produced.
"In the very process of making
money" he added, che has conferred
immense benefactions on the entire
world"
DR.. Eliot's subject was the work OF
the Rockefeller Foundation. He de-
clared that lack of information by
the public and great deal of misin-
formation" were reasons why the com
munity had "wronged Mr.. Rockefel-
ler."
The sneaker asserted that corpora
tions were "the greatest and most EN- :
cient means of carrying on business IN
great variety" explaining that he re,
ferred TO the corporation OF limited
liability, invented about sixty years
ago.
"More than that, corporations are
really great reinforcements OF pubic
liberty. and prevent a paternal sys-
tenn of government such as that IN
Germany" he continued,
IL was because in the early part
Of his career he followed the ethics OF
his day IN all his work that Mr.. Rookie
Teller failed to receive the admiration
and respect which were due him." Dr.
Eliot said. mo ones ethics to-day in
business are better than his" he added
President Eliot's statement that lack
Of information was responsible for
Misunderstanding Mr.. Rockefeller was
followed by an announcement from
Jerome D. Greene, secretary Of the
Rockefeller Foundation, that IN future
the Foundation would adopt policy
of complete publicity.

JUDASES, LETTER
CALLS ASSOCIATES
Peavey and Pillsbury Peo-
pie Accused of Bad Faith
in Famous Wheat Deal.

Chicago, Dec. 12.-The Letter wneat
corner, the failure of which cost
Joseph Letter more than s12,0OO,OOO, IN
1898, was recalled to-day in the United
States court, before Judge Humphrey,
when Letter took the witness stand.
Letter, a son of the late Levi u.
Letter, and now a resident OF Wash.
ington, who made many millions OF
dollars in Chicago, is being sued by
the Interior Elevator Company and
Charles w. Lane, auditor of the Mon
arch Elevator Company, of Minneapo-
lis, for S380,935, principal and inter
est on notes given the plaintiffs in the
year of the corner. The suit was filed
in 1911, but hearing did not begin
until yesterday.
In connection with the notes, Letter
named "F. H. Pesvy and the Pillsbury
people" of Minneapolis, and charged
them with deceiving him. His de-
fence is that the elevator companies
were virtually in partnership with him,
having agreed not to sell grain in the
Chicago market while his big deal
was on.
"They played Judas with me" he
testified when the market broke |

Illinois Trust and Savings Bank-be-
tween S10,00O,000 and S12,000,000.
Every cent of it and of other bills has

Asked what his occupation was in
1898, Mr.. Letter said he was more
busy running a wheat deal than any
thing else" He told of visit TO Min
neapolis, where he said he conferred
with Mr.. Pillsbury and Mr.. Peavey,
who was president of the elevator com
panies bringing suit. James Peavey,
brother of the latter, was also in the
conference, Mr.. Letter asserted.
eve compared our statements of
grain we had on hand with the state
ments of the state and government" he
added. eve found we had more wheat
than there was in the visible supply.
Everybody had written something,
then, but Mr.. James Peavy and said:
Let US put this down in black and
white; then we will have something to
show exactly what we are going TO do
and how we are going to do il, so there
shan't be any mistake or any after
msth about this

and said no, they would not sign any
agreement, as they did not care to 60

this?'
"They said it was a criminal con-
spirscy under the laws of Minnesota.
l said, why, IL looks like good deal.
| think We can take our chances on
that
"They said they were willing to take
their chances, but they would not sign
the agreement.

that no wheat be shipped to Chicago,

agreed to. ! said | didn't want the

Letter said that he was in control
of the Chicago market and would have

people kept their promise TO him.

MANY 81" TRAINS
RUN FROM THE REAR
Motorman, Held for Fatal
Wreck, Admits Practice
Is General on Line.

The Public Service Commission has
ordered public hearing into the cause
of the rear-end collision on the ele-
waited railroad at 10th st. and Eighth
av last Wednesday night, which re-
suited i'm the death of two persons and
the injury of fifty passengers. The or
der provides that the hearing will also
inquire whether regulations, practices,
equipment and appliances Of the Inter-
borough Rapid Transit Company on the
elevated lines are just, reasonable, safe
end proper.
Thomas Mcmahon, motorman Of the
local train which crashed into the rear
end of the express, made interesting
disclosures 70 Coroner Reardon, after
he was released in $4,000 bail yester-
day afternoon. He told the Coroner
that II was not an unusual thing on
the Ninth av. al" TO operate a train
from cars other than the first one.
When the motor of the first car WAS
not in working order. he said, IL was
customary for motorman to run his
train from other cars equipped with
motor.
Concerning the question Of signal
lamps for night use, Mcmahon said
that when motors 20 out of commission
such lamps were not supplied to local
trains. Express trains only are pro-
vided with these lamps.
He admitted that he operated the
train when he could not see the flag
used by Conductor Rolls, who WAS sta
toned on the disabled motor car, and
took signals TO stop and start at sta
tons from a guard on the car behind
Rolls. He further said that he knew
before the train left South Ferry that
the motor of the first car was not
working. "The motorman that ! re-
lieved did not report the defective motor
TO me-" Mcmahon told the Coroner,
"but ! saw him talking to the train
dispatcher before ! left South Ferry.
l left the ferry three minutes late, but
the trouble did not seriously hinder
the progress of the train untilAit got
to Cortlandt at. | crawlcd up TO Frank
lin St, and, knowing that the motors
on the front cars were out Of order, |
went 70 the fourth car. The second car
was trailer"
Asked If he hsd ever been instructed
to empty a train and run it to yard
if the leading car was out of order,
Mcmahon said:
"No. Our instructions obtained in
the school Of instructions are TO go
back In the train until we find a motor
in good order. ! was merely obeying
the instructions taught me by the men
who teach motormen TO run cars and
what TO do in just such an emergency.
Why, this thing OF going back in the
train until a good motor is struck Is
done right along. | did it myself onco
before"

President Taft to find his way home"
