s5,OOO,OOO GRAFT CHARGE

COLUMBUS, Ohio, Dec. 18.--Appoint-
ment of receiver and an accounting
OF the affairs Of the company was
sought in a suit filed here to-day
against the Goodyear Tire and Rubber
Company OF Akron by Frank s. Mon
nett Columbus attorney and former AT
torney-General Of Ohio. Mr.. Monnett
said in his petition that he was the
owner Of forty-five shares OF the COM
pany's preferred stock.
In his petition Mr.. Monnett states
that the directors of the company issued
2h per cent. dividend last fall when
they had no surplus on hand with which
to pay 1t and that they derived funds
for that purpose through borrowing
money on the sale Of stock.
The petition alleges that that stock
sale amounted to $27.000,000. that the
company received less than S5 per cent.
that brokers received the remainder and
that the issuing Of that stock was In
violation of the terms of other preferred
stock. He claims that the issuing Of
that stock damaged the preferred stock
holders to the extent of $4S,000.000. The
petition further states that on July 1.
1920. the directors issued a $50 per
common stock and that there was no
legal authority for such issuance, as the
company was without a surplus. MI
Monnett's petition stated that the COM
pany recently borrowed $25.000.000 at
usurious rates and thereby lost 100000
He also claims that the directors seek
to authorize a further loan of $25,000.-
600, which he asks the court to enjoin
them from concentrating.
Mr. MOnnett charges that the QireC-
tors and members of the Executive Com
mittee of the Goodyear Tire and Rubber
Company organized the Goodyear In
vestment Company. which, he says, has
been used by them as a means of maxi
ing enormous profits.
The petition alleges that through this
investment company the Ohio corpora
ton has made eXtravagant purchases,
among them being that of the Ford Mo-
tor Company Building, in Long Island
City, which was bought for 100000,
the investment company assuming a
mortgage of $1,750,000. Other charges
made in the petition are:
1. Loss of $4,000 to the Ohio
corporation through purchase by
the investment company of a cot
ton ranch near Bakersfield. Cal.
2 Loss of approximately $4,000
900 through the organization by the
investment company Oh n Goodyear
Tire and Rubber Company in Cali
fornia and the Pacific Cotton Mills
Company and purchase of the en-
tire common stock Of those compa-
MES for s5.000,000.
g. Loss of approximately 100000
through purchase by the investment
company of $4,000 acres of land for
cotton cultivation In River Valley,
Ariz.
4. Personal profit Of $4,000 to
investment company through organ
ization of Goodyear Tire and Rub
Der companies in ten foreign lands.
In addition Mr.. Monnett alleges that
the company. in a financial statement
last summer. said that its assets were
S176,410.000. and later admitted that
this was $4,000, 600 too high.

GOODYEAR PRESIDENT
SEES MALICE IN SUIT
Says Concern Is Soluent, but.
Short of Ready Cash.

AKRON, Ohio, Dec. lS.-F. A. Seiber-
ling, president of the Goodyear Tire and
Rubber Company. in making a statement
on the suit filed to-day at Columbus by
Frank s. Monnett. former Attorney
General of Ohio. asking a receivershil
and accounting, declared tonight that
the company is absolutely solvent. He
added that steps will be taken imme-
diately TO obtain a hearing In court on
motion for dismissal OF the suit Mr..
Seiberling's statement follows:
Neither the Goodyear Tire and Rob
Der Company nor its attorneys have as
yet received "a copy of the petition or
complaint filed by Mr.. Monnett of Co
fumbus. and consequently do not know
the nature OF the averments made by
Linn as a basis for his suit
Il understand that Mr.. Mannatt Is the
owner OF forty five shares OF the pre-
ferred stock OF the company and that Il
Is as such stakeholder that ne brings
this suit This action on his part comes
as great surprise both TO myself and
the other officials Of the Goodyear Tire
and Rubber Company.
1.-THE company IL absolutely solvent.
having not only sufficient assets to pay
every dollar of IT'S indebtedness but
enough to cover It's entire outstanding
preferred stock, leaving many millions
OF dollars for the common stockholders.
TRUE, like many other of the eoun-
try's large Industrial concerns. the Good
year Tire and Rubber Company has felt
the need for ready cash because OF the
present curtailment OF credit and a
temporary depression affecting business
generally. as means Of meeting this
present situation and with the purpose
of caring for its present obligations and
providing for It's permanent financing a
plan has been worked out to the entire
satisfaction OF Its officers. which will be
presented at q special meeting of the
stockholders already called for Decem-
Der "a. 1920.
"If this plan be adopted by the stock
holders, as we fully expect II win, the
officers and directors believe the future
stability and prosperity OF the company
will be assured and the interests OF all
It's stockholders. both common and pre-
ferred, fully protected.
ut seems TO vs. that the instigators OF
this action had deliberate purpose In
view to embarrass the company I'm It's
efforts now being made, as above stated,
TO protect the stockholders. AS to what
they will gain by such course can only
be left to conjecture. This suit APP
pears to be on a parallel with one
brought recently in the Common Pleas
Court at Cleveland. Ohio against the
Templar Motors Company, which suit
was promptly dismissed upon motion OF
the company. In dismissing the same
+ the Judge scored severely both the
parties and their lawyers who insti-
tuted the action.
"The Goodyear Tire and Rubber Com
pany by it's counsel will. as soon as the
court can hear the same and at the
earliest possible time, move for a dis
fnissal of this unwarranted action"

26,5oo,oOO WOMEN IN J. 5. ELIGIBLE
 TO VOTE, BELIEF

WASHINGTON, Oct. 5.-FiGures compiled by the census bureau and other government departments in- dicate that the number of women in the Limited States to be over 21 years of age is 2S,035,000 of whom approximately 26,500000 are eligible to vote in the November election This estimate makes liberal allow ance for alien women, American wom- en married to aliens and other in eligible.
 Exact figures are not available on the number of women over 21 but barred from voting through various reasons. Census Bureau officials believe, however, that this year at least ,000, 900 of the 5,500000 foreign born women in the United Sta 'esI will not yet have become naturalized. In addition there were in 1910, ac- cordng to the census about 60,000 Indians women most of whom wore living on reservations, S,6O7 Chinese and Japanese women ineligible to vote, a comparatively small numner of American women married to aliens and barred from voting for that hea son and larger number deprived C. the ballot under state status In har- mony with constitutional provisiots. The total of these ineligibles was est imated at about 100000.
 American women who are married to aliens are not eligbly to vote, the department of justice has held. but fOreign-born women married to American citizens or whose fathers have become American citizens are entitled to the ballot without nat- uralization proceedings.
 The number of eligible male voters in the United States this year has been determined Based on an e~ innate population of 1O5.O0O'o0o however, the census bureau figured that there are now 34,S07 GOO men in the United States over 21 year of age. of whom probably 31 50 )O1p would be entitled to vote in N)v"m- | Der.
