Creditors of the big corporation at
the time Mr.. Fleming began an inves-
tigation of its affairs, agreed to act in
accordance with Mr.. Fleming's rec
concentrations. AS he is to report
favorably upon the rejuvenation of the
company the creditors, who represent
large financial interests in New York
and who have heavy holdings in the
company, are prepared to re-finance
the concern, completely re-organize it
and elect new officers.
What disposition will be made Of
the local plant Of the Rumely COM
pany, formerly known as the Gaar-
Scott company. is a question which
will be left to the new management
for settlement. Immediately after the
reorganization is affected it is quite
possible that operations at the La
porte and Battle Greek plants will be
resumed on a moderate scale. 1t is
probable the company will dispose Of
its Richmond plant.
The fact that Rumely common
stock. which has been down to rock
bottom for several months jumped
four or five points yesterday indicates
that the Fleming report recommend
ing reorganization is no secret to
stock traders.
At the time the Rumely company
went into the receivership, one fac
tion of the creditors committee favor
ed disposing of the property, while a
stronger faction favored its re-organi-
zation. 1t was finally decided to have
Mr.. Fleming make a complete investi-
cation of the affairs of the concern,
the creditors agreeing to act in ac-
cordance with suggestions outlined by
him In his report.

the city will adequately man the new
truck and secure the lower rates at

wires be placed underground were
waived.
According to E. NJ Campfield, vice
chairman of the insurance committee,
speaking for George Eggemeyer. the
chairman, the new class will mean a
saving to business men of approximate
ly $685. 900 year. Mr.. Campfield and
Atwood Jenkins we're commissioned
last night to secure the exact figures.

Business men are praising the work
of the insurance committee in getting
the reduction.
Because of the unsatisfactory ad
justment of rates under the Dean
schedule seven or eight years ago.
when generally lower rates were ex
pected, the members of the committee
probably will start work next tc
have the terms of this rating system
used in many states, re-adjusted on a
more equitable basis, it was announc-
ed last night.
Part of the report of the insurance
committees activities in seven years
reads:
Since the beginning of this effort
for the lowering of insurance rates
our citizens have spent hundreds OF
thousands of dollars, and property
owners have individually spent thous
ands of dollars in improving their
risks by putting in sprinkler systems
fire walls, doors, etc. In addition, the
club has paid attention to the matter

lions in the schools and by public lee

This has taken about seven years
md our business men generally feel
that they have failed to receive fair
consideration by the rating bureau
and that these Improvements have
brought them no reduction in rates and
that the attitude Of the rating bureau
is unjustifiable and unreasonable.

A DEMENTED WOMAN

r. j. Martin of this place, WHO re-
turned form business trip to Vidal
last Sunday, tells of the pitiful effort
OF an unknown woman, believed to be
slightly demented, who undertook to
walk from Needles to Parker, via
Vidal, distance of about 70 miles,
but was fortunately found in time
and rescued from what would have
been certain death.
On the Tuesday afternoon previous,
Charles Brownell, the Vidal merchant,
was returning from Needles in his
auto when, about Is miles from the
latter place and about two miles
a woman lying under a mesquite bush
by the roadside. Thinking she was
in distress, he stopped and inquired
If he could be of any assistance to
her. She replied in the negative,
stating that she was only tired and
footsore; that she was bound for vi
dai and would resume her journey
after she had taken a short rest.
She carried nothing save a small
bottle of water Further inquiry on
the part of Mr.. BrowneIl brought out
the information that it had taken
her three or four days to cover the
Is miles to the first we'll out from
Needles, and that during the entire
forenoon of that day she had only
gene about two miles further. At
that rate she could never hope to
reach her destination but would sure
ly perish by the wayside, especially
since she had but a small quantity of
water left in an ordinary beer bottle.
Mr.. Brownell cautioned her of the
imminent danger she was facing
and asked her to get into his auto
and ride, an offer which she gladly
accepted.
AS they travelled along the woman
talked freely and told Mr. Brownell
that she hailed from Los Angeles;
that she had heard there were good
opportunities for business in Parker
so she was going there to open a
lodging house, having shipped her
