bury and Charles B. Evans temporary

and he now has under consideration
a petition to make them permanent

New York creditors yesterday alleg-
ed that the appointment OF receivers

the fact that Judge Mayer of New

organization of the board of directors.
| They also claimed that the receiver
ship in Delaware had disrupted the
unlfed control of the business of the

tribute to clearing OF creditor claims.

days action was made necessary by

have, to come to the Delaware court
before they took away the company's
assets.
