Corliss on Stand
in Receiver Suit
for Big Creamery
Head Of Concern Says Com.
pany Solvent; Stockhold.
ers Say Dividends We're
Paid From Capital.

District Judge 0. d. Wheeler re-
sumed the hearing of Iowa stock
holders petition for a receiver for
the Waterloo Creamery company OF
Omaha in Council Bluffs yesterday
The hearing progressed SO rapidly
yesterday that attorneys for both
the company and the stockholders
said it might be finished in another
day. A week was spent in the hear
ing early in December.
Corliss on Stand
The evidence yesterday was chief
ly in defense of the company's claim
of financial soundness. President
Corliss was on the stand during the
greater part of the forenoon and i'll
the afternoon an expert accountant.
working in the interest of the COM
pany, testified. Questioned by Will
liam ]. Hotz, Omaha counsel for the
company, he declared that the books
showed the company on October 81,
1921. to be solvent, that the gross
assets OF the company then were
587,745.35 with surplus and re-
serve of Sl50,000 At that date the
total liabilities of tie company were
shown by the book abstract to be
$338,67l.22, $l64,C00 of which was
mortgage indebtedness. The state
ment was made that during the last
eight months of 1921 the company
had reduced its obligations $4,000.
and had done gross business OF
$4,000.
Dividends Are Discussed.
Counsel for stockholders brought
out the fact that the last dividend
paid by the company was in the fl
nal quarter OF 1920, and the conten-
ton was that this dividend, as we'll
as all others, was paid out of the
capital stock and not from surplus
and profits. They also got into the
record the statement that there was
paid as commissions to stock sales
men from 1919 to 1921, $685.
which had been counted as assets
or listed as used for development
purposes. 1t was also shown that the
premiums on stock sales totaled
100000.
Company Expert Heard.
Combating this, the company's
expert showed that 100000 Of the
$323,56 had been charged off-liqui-
dated from the surplus.
Keenly watching the case are at
torneys representing other Iowa
stockholders. Oscar Westrand, Red
Oak lawyer, is representing 1000
stockholders in that vicinity, and
Guy Mack, Storm Lake attorney, is
looking after the interests of stock
holders there whose holdings are
about fifty thousand dollars. They
say they may intervene as plaintiffs
in the receiver suit if the interests
of their clients justify it.

Tom Fuller, son of Realtor and Mrs.

today on a charge of speeding with
his fathers auto. The fine imposed

A Glenville citizen says:
'The residents of Glenville are
highly incensed and much disgusted
at the arrogant behavior of this
young man in the past. Several times
a day, for several months he has ira

able rate of speed, with muffler open
and has repeatedly, and purposely,
endeavored to annoy pedestrians by
swerving toward them.

Albert Flick is the plaintiff in the

cheaper rate on the sugar.

declared it could not be done except
