WANTS A RECEIVER
FOR UNcAS POWER CO.
Petitioner Says Concern is Owned by
Boston interests and Is Losing
Money.

An application for a received for the
Uncas Power company of Uncasville
was made Monday in New Haven be-
fore Judge Thomas of the United
States district court by Mrs. Nellie NJ.
Alexander Of Providence, r. l., repre-
senting $50 of the 5000 shares of cap
ital stock of the company.
The Uncas Power company furnishes
power to several concerns in and about
Norwich. Mrs. Alexander claims that
the company. which was at one time
owned chiefly by persons in the east
ern part of the state, is now controlled
by Boston interests, that it has made
no reports to the state secretary and
that il Is losing money
The application was opposed by At
torney Samuel c. Morehouse, who ask
ed that it be dismissed on the ground
that the federal court has no jurisdic-
ton in the matter.
