Stakeholder Fails
ToGet Receiver for
N. Y. Steam Co.
r. G. Hanford Declares
There Have Been Waste
and Mismanagement

Charges of Encouragement and
waste have been brought against the
officers Of the New York Steam Com
pany, OF Manhattan, in proceedings
before Justice Pendleton, of the Su-
preme Court, for the appointment of a
receiver. The petitioner is Robert G..
Hanford, acting for himself and other
stockholders. The application is OPP
posed by the directors of the Andrews
Institute for Girls, Mt Willoughby,
Ohio, which was endowed by Wallace
C. Andrews, founder of the defendant
company He left several millions of
dollars in stock of the concern to the
school.
The concern has assets of $s,000,000
and supplies steam for heating and
power to Office buildings, lofts, thea
tres, hotels and private residences. The
petitioner alleges that the company
has been unable to meet its obligations,
represented by purchases of coal last
winter. 1t is also alleged that not only
have the directors failed to pay this
sum, amounting to S434,0o0. but that
they also have failed to provide for
next winters supply of coal, though
fully aware OF the threatened shortage.
Says Assets Were Wasted
Mr.. Hanford charges that the con-
Germ, which was solvent and successful
in hnn C%o 4
vast sums Of money poured into its
treasury for bettermcnt, rehabilita-
ton and repairs, with the result that
1T stands to-day insolvent." He al
leges that the company is unable to
fulfil its duty as public utility unless
a receiver is appointed, and declares
that the operating expenses have dou-
bled and the capacity been only slight
ly increased. He charges that after
defaulting interest on its bonds the
company obtained two extensions. He
set forth that $210,500 represented the
principal Of mortgages which were ex-
tended July 1, 1918
Former Supreme Court Justice Fran
CHS M. Scott, representing the company,
In opposing the application, alleges
that Mr.. Hanford's interest in the con
Germ was that of the holder of an op-
ton to buy 54,319 shares of stock
owned by the girls institute. This
option, the company declares, had not
been exercised.
Justice Pendleton, in ruling against
Hanford, permitted him to renew his
application upon proof that he had &C
CURED the stock, and that the cred
ltors, of which the Andrews Institute
for Girls is the largest, have refused to
extend the maturing obligations
mr.. Scott alleges that the stock be-
quest to the institute had been a
white elephant" on it's hands, and for
that reason it has sought to dispose of
it. The petitioner, Mr.. Scott declared,
hoped to make large profit from his
option, but had been unable to sell it.

brotherhood and love which knows no
nationality or distinction of race or
creed. Japan knows wat you are
fighting for and why you are willing
to sacrifice so nobly, and her heart is
with you in the struggle"

tartan mission that the United States

No faint of Hearstism

This friend also said that Byoir was
in no way tainted with the Hearstian
view of the war and had succeeded in
lining up all the foreign language pa
pers of America in support of the war,
except few which, "like the Hearst
English papers, were still on the Dor
der line of professed Americanism and
concealed pro-Gcrmanism."
incidentally this friend said that
Byoir's work had demonstrated that
stion Of foreign language papers in
America they were Indispensable to
patriotic propaganda during the war,
rs through them large sections of the
population were being set right with
respect to the war who could not be
reached effectually in any other way.

Creel Puts Former
$4,000 Hearst Man
In Twins Place
Carl Byoir to Direct Blu
reau's Foreign Language
Propaganda

Especial Dispatch to The Tribune)
WASHINGTON, July 20.-Will Irwin,
correspondent and magazine writer,
closed a six months engagement with
the Committee of Public Information
this afternoon and soon will return to
Europe in his private capacity. He
organized the foreign education service
of the committee, and this work will
now be taken over by Carl Byoir, who
is an associate chairman Of the COM
mittee and has directed the commit
tees work among the thirty three
groups Of foreign language publica-
tons.
1t was reported in Washington that
the reason of Mr.. Twins resignation
was dissatisfaction with the intrust-
ing of the important foreign language
work to Byoir, who formerly was man
ager Of the Hearst magazines.
Mr.. Irwin said emphatically this
afternoon that there was no truth in
the report, that he had simply done
the work that he had undertaken to do
without remuneration as his war "bit"
and that he now was returning to pri-
vate life according to his plan.
Remarkably Successful
As for Mr.. Byoir, Mr. Irwin said that
his work had been remarkably success
full and had been undertaken by him
long before he (Irwin) became associ
ated with the bureau, so that the
chronology Of the facts repudiated the
rumor.
A friend of Byoir says he is one
of the real Finds" of the Creel bureau.
He is of French descent, American
born, and although SO young as to be
within the draft age was drawing a
salary of $4,000 a year from Hearst,
which he periodically gave up when
the war began to take a place with
Creel at $500.
Creel considered him so valuable that
when Congress required the Commit
tee on Public Information to discharge
all men subject to the draft he trans
ferred Byoir to Twins section, which,
being maintained from the Presidents
contingent fund, was not subject to
the Congressional action. Creel also
got Byoir placed in a deferred CLASH
fcation.
