SETTLEMENT IN GILBERT {. TRANSFORMATION co. AFFAIRS
Indicated by Court Order Made by
 Judge Thomas.

Stockholders of the Gilbert Trans portatoon company of Noank, who are scattered widely over the state of Connecticut with many in this part of the state, have apparently decided to effect settlement with Receiver Frank s. Butterworth, of the com pany, and wipe off the dockets of the courts a mass of litigation over the assessment of stockholders to the amount of their common stock bonuses to help pay the indebtedness of the company.
 Judge Edwin S. Thomas, of the United States court, has made an or- der authorizing Receiver Butterworth to settle claims on a basis that the stockholders pay 50 per cent. of the amount of their assessment and the directors of the company who have been sued to pay 50 per cent. of their assessment and 5 per cent. additional on account of their liability as di- rectors Counsel for the receiver and counsel for different groups of stock holders have had several conferences which led up to the proposition of set clement.
 There are a large number of suits pending in the state courts which the receiver brought against stockholders, these suits having been brought to re- cover the unpaid stock subscriptions. A number of the suits against the stockholders have been appealed to the United States circuit court of ep- peals and are now pending.
 Tn addition to the suits pending against stockholders for unpaid bal- ances on stock, there are suits also pending by the receiver against certain directors to receive dividends on pre- ferred stock, paid by the company. according to rates of the directors. The suits are based on the ground that the dividends were illegal and wrong fully paid.
