Others at Intervals.
No formal outline of the brother

these two days, made either to the
managers or to the public. It is said,
however, that the freight employees on
the other roads would be called out

all passenger trains will be ordered
out Wednesday.

To Liquidate Casualty Co.
Supreme Court Acts on Re-
quest of Directors
By BRIGGS

An order was granted in the Supreme
Court yesterday directing Superintend-
ent of Insurance Jesse S Phillips to
take possession of the assets and prop
erty of the Casualty Company Of
America for the purpose OF liqudating
it's business and Winning up ITS affairs.
The order was issued at the request Of
its directors. who stated that there
was danger that accumulation of judg-
ments and levies of execution would
dissipate the assets of the corporation.
The Casualty Company of America
was organized in 1903 by Richard
Croker and the late Andrew Freedman,
and was sold by them to Edward l..
Hearn and his associates in 1909. Its
premium income since 1912 has aver
aged over s3,000000 year. It's bust
ness for the first nine months OF 1915
amounted to over 100000.
Poor selection of business and excess
sive acquisition cost, Mr.. Phillips says.
have resulted in heavy losses IN under
writing, and an examination last fall
showed an impairment OF 1904, 1928 in
the capital of S750,000. On December
% a readjustment was said to have
been effected whereby the impairment
was deemed TO have been made good,
but on April 26 the Susquehanna Coal
Company recovered a judgment against
the company in the sum of $l9s,277O1
and interest at the rate of $3l.13 per
day from February 20. 1916. This was
the principal reason for the action OF
the directors.

Dragged and Robbed
Of $1,344 in Taxicab
Employe of Export Firm Vic
timized by Thieves Posing

Herbert Krakow. twenty-five years
old, assistant cashier in the exporting
house of Muller. Mclean & Co., left
the firms Offices at II Broadway yes
terday afternoon with $l,344 for de-
post in the Chemical National Bank.
For several nerve-racking hours there
after the company could obtain no
trace Ct him.
At last Krakow telephoned from Jer-
scy City and told the following story
in a weak, shaky voice: He had been
stopped at Warren Street and Broad
way by two men who said they were
detectives and showed their badges 10
prove it, They told him TO get into "a
taxicab and go with them to Head
quarters.
According TO the young man, that is
all he remembers until he came to and
found that he was standing on street
corner in Hoboken. He had 81 bill
in his pocket and nothing more.
The firm instructed him to communi-
cate at once with the Jersey City pO-
lice, and telephoned to Headquarters
there on their own account. While Kra-
kow was talking TO Headquarters. po-
liceman entered the booth and placed
him under arrest. He appeared weak
and dazed when taken to the Detective
Bureau, where he was held until the
arrival of New York detectives.
After hearing his story the New York
police said that they were convinced
that Krakow had been the victim Of a
hold-up and released him. They be
lieve he WAS drugged in some manner
after entering the taXi-cab.
