COURT ASKED TO COMPEL
HOTEL STOCK PAYMENT
Receivers of the Arlington File First
of a Series Of Suits-Alonzo
o. Bliss Named.

The first Of a series of suits at law
to recover unpaid subscriptions to the
capital stock of the Arlington Hotel Com
pany was instituted today by Aulick
Palmer and Peyton Gordon, receivers of
the corporation. The receivers ask that
Alonzo o. Bliss be required to pay
100000, being the amount Of his SUBJ
scription to the common stock of the
company.
Through Attorney E H Thomas. the
court is told that the hotel company is
insolvent, and the amount of the sub
scriptions to the preferred stock is wholly
inadequate to pay its debts. The COM
mon stock, on which recovery is sought,
was given as a bonus to the subscribers
of the preferred stock. The receivers
claim, however, that the acceptance of
the stock carried the liability to pay for
it if needed for debts.
Equity proceedings are pending to en-
force the liability, but the receivers
thought best also to sue at law. Other
holders of common stock may also be
sued by the receivers, it is stated.

TO DELAY ACTION ON SIDDONS
Full Committee Not to Consider
Nomination Until After Christmas,

The nomination of Commissioner F.
l.. Siddons to be associate justice of the
District Supreme Court, which was ad-
versely reported by a subcommittee to
the full committee on judiciary of the
Senate, will not be taken UP for con-
sideration by the full committee until
after the Christmas recess.
In addition to Senator Chiffon of
West Virginia, who voted in subcom-
mittee for Mr.. Siddons. the latter will
have other strong supporters in the
committee, it was learned today. Mr.
Siddons' supporters hold that the
charges which have been made agains,
him are himsy and inconsequential. A
demand will be made that the testi-
mony taken by the subcommittee be
laid before the full committee, so that
all the members may pass upon the

HEARD BY COMMITTEE

ties in Pay and Annual
Leaves.

were discussed before the House naval
affairs committee today by Alfred H.

Mr.. Rodrich informed the committee
that although the clerks are in the
civil service, the positions are not clas-
slfied as they are in the departments
and that men are not advanced in pay
until some one leaves the service.
Cites Salary Example.
AS an example Mr.. Eodrick cited the
example of a man getting S1,4Oo who
resigned. Another employe could he
appointed to do his work and wou,d
receive $1,000, and the difference be-
tween $1,000 and S1,400 would he dis
trlbuted through other employees nay
envelopes, SO that some advances
would De cents day and others as
hlsh as 1t cents u day. Mr.. Rodricls
asked that the positions and pay be
equalized with other civil service en-
ployes.
a discrepancy in annual leave was
discussed with interest between MEM
pers OF the committee and MIR. Rod
rick. Navy yard employees in the civil
service are allowed fifteen days leave,
while civil service employees in any de-
partment receive thirty days.
