/. RECEIVER MONDAY
Delaney Nicoll Renews Com
pany'S Alphabetically
Promises Full Statement.
MAYER AT HEAD AGAIN
Dummy Board OuSted After
Holding Control a Little
Over One Day.
MAYER AT HEAD AGAIN.

Before Judge Manton in the Federal
Court to-day Delaney Nicoll, coun-
sci for the United States Mail Steam
ship Line. renewed his application for
a receiver for the company. Mr.. Nicoll
was accompanied by former Secretary
Of State Colby Of the firm Of Wilson &
Colby, and William Greenough, attor-
ney Of record. Benjamin Barber also
was present, representing the United
tSates Shipping Board.
Mr.. Nicoll told the court the re-
newal was due to the fact that no new
money had come into the company
and the situation, financially was the
same as when he made the application
which he later requested be held in
abeyance, pending developments.
Counsel asked that an early date
be set for the hearing on the appdi-
cation and that all parties to the
litigation be present. Judge Aanton
set Monday. at which time it Is ex-
pected a receiver will be named.
In the matter of the appointment of
the receiver and the application Mr..
Colby said after the proceeding that
there had been no refiling OF the ap-
plication as it never had been off file.
when the question Of the appoint
ment of the receiver comes UP on
Monday we will have something to
say to that" Mr.. Colby added.
The application for a receivership
which was made by Mr.. Nicol several
days ago, but which was not acted
upon and did not become known pub
icly until yesterday. was to protect
the minority stockholders and the
creditors. In a statement yesterday.
Mr.. Nicoll enumerated some Of these
creditors.
They include the Morse Dry Dock
and Repair Company. the Berwind
white Coal Company. Todd Ship
yards Corporation, c. E. Williams and
r. N. Sarlock, who have furnished
supplies to the United States Mail
Line. These creditors claims total
$1,000, 900. In addition there is due
persons who have purchased passage
UP until November $1,113,00O.
Late yesterday, after many devel-
cpments, Charles and Francis r.
Mayer again became active heads Of
the United States company, bringing
back with them the old Board Of
Directors. Capt Mayer had been de-
posed as President on Wednesday in
favor of Frank Bynum.
The old Board Of Directors. which
anne back with the Mayors,
promptly rescinded an order passed
by dummy board which had been
in temporary control directing with
drawal of the injunction suit by
which the company is seeking to re-
strain the Shipping Board from taking
away nine of its largest vessels upon
a claim for charter hire.

Mayor Hylan on the stand could
not tell Examiner Elon r. Brown
how many new jobs had been created
and how much money had been spent
in excess Of the expenditures Of tho
Mitchell Administration. He said that
there had been reductions. but could
not. at least did not, specify them,
These were the useless positions to
which he alluded in his inaugural
address. Is
Now. instead of there : ing any
reduction or any approach/.o economy
which was promised during the Hyian
campaign in which the waste and
extravaganza Of the Mitchell admin
stration was paraded before tho
people, there has been a jump Of
more than $s0,O0O.OOO beyond the
Mayor Mitchel's Administration the
c st in salaries and wages for run
ming the city was $47,5S5,61S. The
payroll Of the present administrations
for the last year amounts to $1&-
17S,07s. included in which are salary
increases and pay for new jobs cre-
ated in the bureaus within the juris-
diction OF Mayor Hylan.
Chairman Meyer said to-day that
following the examination of Comp
troller Craig. which begins on Tues
day. the heads OF the twenty nine
k,,,r In, ioh ha
and spending has occurred will Be
called to the stand and asked how
and why the money has been spent.
HYLAN TO BE RECALLED FoR
/ EXPLANATION.
Mayor Hylan will also be recalled. is
was stated. and asked for an explana.
tion of the vast expenditures.
1t Is contended by E,lon r. Brown
that the city has levied $4,000, 900 in
taxes and incurred 10000. 900 in debts
in excess Of its constitutional right.
Now there is talk in regard to this
feature of refusal to pay taxes untl
test Is made in court Of the city's
right to collect the taxes, which 1t is
said would bring about a mess in tho
city's finances.
Senator Meyer says that IL the tax.
payers should win such a suit thes
city could not get the money, and
that if il were decided that the money
had been Illegally borrowed the bonds
on which the money was raised would
De invalid. The Senator advises that
the people pay their taxes to avoid.
bringing about a condition which
would be worse than confusion-finan-
cial chaos in fact.
Mayor Hylan pointed out, for in
stance, that il the money had not been
raised the building OF schools and
other activities would be stopped and
that invalidation OF the bonds Of the
borrowed 800, O,OOO, 900 would bankrupt
the city. for most OF the money has
been spent.

the departments are:

had a road superintendent in theil
place, who worked from a central Of
fee and accomplished a great dea
more. He thought it better to have
probation officer to drive out even
to the extremities of the county than
to depend on the local people to dc
it and have the people Of less skill
working on SO many different indiv-
idual plans at disadvantage OF
working among their neighbors.
County Superintendent Faulconer
and Editor Trego were present and
he asked if it would not be practical
to remove some of the Implications
OF work that are now being done or
that have been done at different
times. He said there was the proba-
ton officer, the Red Cross officer and
the school nurse in such towns as
Blackfoot all doing some Of the same
kinds of work and their work to
some extent conflicting or duplicat-
ing. Then he said there were a lot
on poor people who were receiving
aid from the county in the form of
orders for merchandise to be OBJ

perience showed that they did not
good judgment in buying their mer-
chandise, that some of them would
just go and spend 1t for anything,
some of it for luxuries that gave
them poor service for the amount of
money spent and he asked If there
could not be a simplification to cut
out the Implications of work and pro-
vide some means of educating these
people on how to spend their money
and how to take care Of themselves.

complished in getting people to I'M
derstand the compulsory education
law and getting the parents and
children to understand their individ-
ual responsibility in the matter. He
said he had sent out the sheriff to
arrest number of different parents
in the last two or three weeks and
had got them Strengthened out on
their duties in the matter and he
thought it would have a very good
effect. He says human ma ture is
such that If people do not want to 60
to school they can find an infinite
number of excuses that are salts
factory to themselves and that when
they are confronted by somebody
who takes a different view of the
matter and are instructed as to the
responsibility it usually gets the de-
sired results, resulting in attendance
at school. II child does not want
to go to school he can easily kid"
himself into the idea that he isn't
well or present to himself some
fiimsy excuse that he thinks is suf-
nclent. The parent may be developed
only little further than the child
and he may accept some very flimsy
excuses, either from the child or
those that are presented by himself
such as wanting the child to do some
work that the parent ought to do
himself or many other things of that
kind, but when the parent is waited
on by the probation officer or
brought into court to have an &C
counting, all these fimsy excuses
vanish and the parent gets new
view of the situation.
When asked if he did not think
It would be more, economical and
more practical to have these things

200. They regarded a paid member
ship of 200 turning in $4,000 as a
much stronger. backing than a men,
bership Of 600 turning a dollar each
total Of $500. If the allowance
of $500 is made that does not mean
that the money is turned over to the
farm bureau to be spent, but it
means that the board gives permits
sion to the farm bureau management
to draw vouchers on the country
treasury up to the amount of $500
as it is needed. The commissioners ex-
anime the vouchers and none of
them are paid until they are ap-
proved by the board. II the bureau
does not need to draw but $4,000 of
this in the course of the year then
the rest of the money remains in the
treasury to be expended for some
thing else not connected with the
farm bureau. Mr.. Stephens stated
that he thought they might be able
to keep the drafts on the county
treasury down to $4,000 and still
get thrG the year on the plans out
lined, nut lie was asking for the
$500 to make sure and with the
hope that they could leave some in
the treasury at the close of the year.
The board did not render q decision
at this time, but passed on to other
subjects.
The Officers Salaries
County Clerk Fisher had made up
tabulated list of the officers and
their salaries and their deputies and
their salaries. He sent out a ques-
tionnaire to all the county clerks in
the state asking them for informs-
ton about the salaries paid for the
different kinds Of work, the number

of the different counties according
to their classification and the volume
OF business and work DONE The re-
plies to the questionnaires indicated
that the salaries paid in Bingham
county are about on a par with those
paid in other counties, not higher.
The heads Of departments we're
called in and invited to speak on the
subject If they had anything they
wished to say to the board about the
salaries and number of deputies.
Sheriff Simmons stated that he was
going to try to get along with one
deputy and thought he could for six
months or so. He said the heavy
part of the work commenced in sum-
mer when there were many notices
to be served in civil business. Then
1t went on with some increase dur
ing the harvest and marketing of
the crops when a good many suits
were brought for collections of debts.
After the first of the year it tight
ened up for several months. He
made application for permission to
put on two deputies at $14O each,
but expected to need only one for
a few months. There might be times
when he would need to put on an
extra man for few days and asked
that permission with permission to
pay SIS day. The board showed
some hesitation over the IS business,
but Mr.. Simmons said 1t would be
difficult to get good help at less
than IS day.
The Probation Officer
Judge Good said he was asking for
q continuation Of the probation Of
ficer at 500 a month and that a bill
will be introduced in the legislature
changing the classification somewhat
and there might be request for a
change in the salary of the probation
officer to conform to that law. He
stated that great deal has been &C.
