Petition for u receiver for the firm of Tom D. Andon & Go. was filed in the chancery division of the' circuit court yesterday by George D. Canon dis. According to the allegations Of the petition the complainant and the defendant formed partnership July 1, 1919, for the purpose of engaging in the wholesale and retail business of buying and selling fruits, vegeta- bles, oysters and other products or things appropriately appertaining to the company.
 Headquarters were established at 1S24-26 Fourth avenue, north. It IS alleged that the lease of the building expires October 1, 1921, and that It was agreed between the partners that the defendant was entrusted with the duty of procuring the lease, as he speaks the Englis> language and writes it better than the complainant
 It is further alleged that the de- fendant leased the place In his own name or in the name of some fictl- tious person or dummy for the pur- pose of holding the building for the exclusive benefit of the dependant and he has refused to assign to com plainant an undivided one-half inter- est in the lease.
 Upon final hearing the complah- ant asks that the court order the de- fendant to give him an undivided one half interest in and to said lease, and that the title to the undivided one-half interest be divested out of defendant and invested in the complainant, and for any and all other relief the court may deem necessary.

MRS. COOPER'S TIME IS NOW UNDIVIDED

Mrs. B. A, Cooper wants everybody to know she hasn't any little chil- dren to look after now. She has only two and they are grown and able to take care of themselves.
 She wants the public to know she hasn't even any orphan children at her home now nor any incumbrances that would keep her from holding down the job of city commissioner, for which she is a candidate
 A short time ago Mrs. Cooper gave story to the effect that she had raised and taken care of ss3 little children in her home-orphan chill dren.
 Somebody wrote Mrs. Cooper say ing she ought to "stay home and take care of her children" The letters were anonymous. So Mrs. Cooper wants it made clear to every body she hasn't got any now, and that she knows she would make I commissioner who has her hands free for work.
 Says she: "Piease make it clear that haven't but two children of my own in this world. Both of these are over 20 years of age and don't need me to rock them to sleep.
 My daughter Is a graduate of music; my son is in his senior year at college, and is manager of adver- Using for my campaign. T have taken many little orphans into my home. but permanent homes have been found for them.

"The boot situation should be watched and staple high shoes not neglected. There will some demand for walking shoes in black and brown kid and Russian calf, with heels ranging from an inch to an inch and a half high.
