Receiver May
Be Named for
Hote]Company
Petition Charges That Funds
OF Firms Have Been Dis
sipated by Reckless Con-
tracing and Waste.

Lincoln, Dec. 12.-(Special. )-Ap-
plication has been filed in the district
court of Lancaster county for the
appointment of a receiver for the Ne
braska Building and Investment COM
pany, the Nebraska Hotel company
and the Lineeln Surety COMPANY,
three closely linked concerns which
have extensive operations not only in
Lincoln but out in the state.
| The Nebraska Building and In
vestment company was organized IN
February, 1916, and the voting pow
er of the company is vested in the
president and board of directors. The
same men organized the Nebraska
Hotel company in lel7, which owns
the Lincoln hotel and several other
hostelries in the state
Mismanagement Charged.
The petitioners, Henry Furrer,
Delbert |. Lautzenheiser and John
Peterson, stockholders in the COM
pany, alege in their petition that the
defendants, Frank f. Schaff, presi-
dent of the three companies, Edward
O. Gregg, H. Louis Lohmeyer, Rob-
ert w. Johnston, James H. Gore and
Albert J. Schaff, stockholders, have
dissipated the funds of the company
by reckless contracting, and exten-
sive building operations with no
money to carry on the work, charg-
ing stock selling programs, in which
high prices have been paid sales
men, and fraud in the advertising
program. They also charge that
Schaff, Gregg, Gore and Lohmeyer
are living at the Lincoln hotel in
expensive style and pay nothing for
the Accommodations.
Alleged Loss in Operations.
Hotels are being operated in Tab
le Rock, Columbus, Scots Bluff,
Kansas City and Omaha by the Ne
braska Hotel company and ranch
near kearney, known as "1733," is
owned by the company, and this
with the hotel, they allege are oper-
ated at a loss because o. high sal
aries and mismanagement. They al
lege that President Schaff draws a
salary OF $500 a week and other Of
ficers draw more than their services
are worth
They allege that after purchasing
the lease of the Fontenelle hotel in
Omaha for 100000 the hotel COM
pany has violated the terms of the
lease and has been forced to pay
heavy penalties. Transaction involv-
ing the purchase and sale OF the
1888 ranch are questioned in the
petition and charges made that the
company paid $l50,000 for the ranch
and then carried on the books a
fcticious value OF 100000. The peti-
ton alleges that although the ranch
has recently been sold for 100000 to
Nelson Brothers OF Malcomb, no
credit has been entered on the books
and that the sale is being concealed.
About year ago the hotel COM
pany began an extensive building
program, involving an addition to
the Lincoln hotel in Lincoln. but
after excavatig the work was stopped
and nothing has been done for more
than six months.
With the request for a receiver,
the petitioners also ask for a re-
straining order enjoining the defend
ants from eNpending any more OF
the funds to which the stockholders
! are entitled. ...-r

Outside of Governor Campbell, who is known far and wide, it is doubtful if any Arizona candidate for state off, flee enjoys a wider acquaintanceship than big Jack White, republican nom inee for state mine inspector.
 Because of his lifelong activity in the mining and general development of Arizona, Jack has come to be re- garded as one of the prominent fig ures of the southwest, and this is at tested in an editorial comment which appeared the other day in the Ell Paso Herald. It read:
 "Arizona's republicans are forum ate in the selection of Jack White, former sheriff of Cochise county, as their candidate for mine inspector. MT. White is a miner of long experi- ence. Also he is known and liked all over the state, as democratic papers admit. As head of the state employ ment bureau he satisfied employer and employe alike. If the voters of Ari- zona will elect him, MT. White un- doubtedly will make good.
 "Jack Whites biography reads like romance. He gave it to a reporter for this newspaper today about as fol- lows:

ARIZONANS KNOW AND
 WILL VOTE FOR JACK WHITE

I was eight years old. My father was in the army at the time and we lived at Ft. Mcdowell until 1880 when we moved to Tempe. Then we moved to Phoenix and l was in school there for a couple of years doing janitor work at the old Central school building to get what little book education I got. Then I went to work in horseshoe ing shop for James Mccarthy and worked with him until the fall of 1884 when I got job mucking in mine and I have followed mining ever since.
 "In 1904 they elected me constable of Bisbee Precinct No. 2. Then two years later I was elected sheriff of Cochise county and reelected two years after that. Completing my ser vice in February, 1912, I moved to Phoenix, where ever since I have been looking after development of a gold property in which I am interested.
 During the years that was work ing in the mines l worked in the old Tip-Top mine in 1886 and all through the Bradshaw mountains in all of the properties which were operating at that time, following which I worked in all the big mines of the state, in- cluding the Silver King, Buffalo, Unit ed Verde, Boggs, Henrietta, McCabe and the old Congress mine until 1898; being engaged in minig there till 1904 except for eight months when was foreman of the Roy mine 75 miles south of Douglas, in old Mexico.
 CT guess that is about all there is to say, except that I am the head of a family with a wife and five boys
 "From which it will be seen that MT. White is pretty much of a prac- tical mining man and peculiarly fitted for the office of mine inspector"
