"Too Good to Peddle"
The committee wishes to sell the
stock on commission basis. Presi-
dent Levering purposes this, as he re-
CARDS the company stock too good to
peddle." He wished to see the stock
holders themselves taking this stock,
for it is good and has been made pos
sible only through their money.
President lowering concluded by
asking for the appointment of a com
mittee to consider the proposals made
by him.
Levering Is Deposed
The fireworks and insurrection, if
such it may be termed, began here
abouts. Objection being offered by &.
l.. Stevens to President Levering con-
tinuing to serve as chairman, NJ. H.
Rank of Columbus was made chair
: man.
Isaac Fleming Of Mt. Vernon,
stakeholder, declared he is getting
tired of being picked. why jangle
over Spencer and lose our money!"
he asked.
George H. Jones fof Mt. Vernon, a
director and secretary of the COM
pany, was the first to defend the
course Of his fellow directors. To re-
fute the claim of President lowering
that he knew nothing of the payment
or authorization of commissions,
Jones read from the minutes of di-
rectors meeting last February at
which Levering was present, APPROX
ing minutes of a previous meeting at
which the commissions had been au-
thorized.
w. ]. Johnson of Lexington, KY,
another member of the board, follow
ed with a defense of himself and his
fellow directors. He charged that he
had been led to make his original in
vestment through presentations made
by the Mt. Vernon Chamber of Com
merce and its president. He had
been elected director later to rep
resent the Kentucky stockholders.
The animus of the directors toward
President lowering was revealed by
Johnson, who made frequent illusions
to his own deficiencies as a speaker
in comparison to the smooth, easy and
plausible manner Of Judge Levering.
At one place Johnson denied he had
made any charge for expenses. But
some while later he admitted he had
charged $6 a day for his services. He
asserted President Leverng advised
the propriety of charges for automo-
bile hire. etc.
The charge was made by Johnson
that lowering had created payroll of
$1,000 per month for which the board
has not cent to meet. Admission
was made that the directors had bor-
rowed $37,500 to complete the pur-
chase of the plant.
Directors Are Divided
G. l.. Stevens of Columbus asked
that the minutes of the meeting at
which the commissions were author
lied be read. This was done by Sec
retary Jones. Stevens revealed that
the directors are divided nine to two.
He asserted mortgage had been
drawn by Levering, which the latter
declared not to be worth the paper it
is written upon. He charged Lever
ing with misstating Spencer's living
expenses.
While reading the minutes, Secre-
tary Jones stated he had had the en-
perience of being ordered out of the
plant at the orders of President Lev
ering and by an employe whom the
board had dismissed
ctavans accused President Lever

ing of having advised the directors
poorly. He offered spirited defense
of the expense accounts.
Levering ~ Unpaid
President Levering at this place
undertook his defense against the per-
sonal filings made at him. He said he
is one man in the company who has
not drawn cent. He has more at
interest than the little money he
might receive. He has donated his
services to the committee and the sole
purpose animating him has been to
save. if possible, the money invested
by his friends and clients. His con-
tentions and recommendations touch
ing stock certifcation had been sus-
tanned by the attorney general of
Ohio, he said.
Respecting the charge he had been
present at the meeting approving the
minutes granting commissions, he
said it was true. He had, however,
given no attention to the reading; he
was not engaged in spying upon his
fellow directors and had not been sus-
picious of anything. This statement
was received with loud, contemptuous
and satirical laughter coming from
the group Of directors opposing Lev
ering.
A Sharp Passage
At this time there was sharp pas
sable between Levering and Jones.
Speaking of the episode in which
Jones had been ordered from the
plant he said Jones had been called as
character witness for Spencer at Ash
land Jones here interrupted to deny
the statement that he was a"charac-
ter" witness.
Continuing his statement, Judge
lowering said Jones had sought cer-
tain paper in the files Of the old COM
pany at the Office of Lot c. Stillwell
and had been told the files were at
the plant. Jones here again inter-
rupted. saying he had had no such
errand at Stillwell's Office. Judge Lev
ering insisted, however, he had been
SO informed by Stillweil's stenograph-
er.
Levering had been instructed by
Trustee Ashbaugh to permit nothing
to be taken from the files when they
were taken to the plant He had in
structed Supt. Gostlin accordingly.
This was the explanation of Jones
encounter with Gostlin at the plant.
Finally, President Levering charged
the reorganization committee had
been self-appointed being largely
stock salesmen in the old company.
Director Vandervort Of Yellow
Springs denied he had ever sold any
stock. He admitted, however, a rela-
tive of the same name had been on
the payroll, and his name may have
been misleading.
Ask for designations
Jay Walker of Mt. Vernon, in a
spirited talk, suggested committee
to ask for the designations of all the
directors He saw evidence of lack
of harmony and, knowing the men as
the did, he was hopeless of bringing
them into agreement. Subsequently
Mr.. Walker offered motion asking
for the designations of all the direct
ors The motion was seconded.
Had Chairman Ranck been so in
clined, this motion might have had a
chance of being adopted, such was the
seeming spirit and sense of the meet
ing at this time. However, he adopt
ed a policy of non-interference.

PROTESTS MADE OVER
 DAM ON AVIAN CREEK
(Pacific Fisherman

The attention of the Association of Pacific Fisheries was recently called to the issuance of preliminary power developments by the Federal Power Commission for development on Tyee and Anan creeks, Alaska. The pro ject being to put 60-foot dam in An an creek, an important salmon spawn ing stream. It was held that such a dam, without proper fishway, would exterminate the run. The association immediately communicated with the Federal Power Commission, Secretary Hoover and the Pacific Coast senators and representatives in Washington urging that no such development be permitted unless fishways be installed or in case the dam should be too high for practicable fishways, that a hatchery should be built and operated under the direction of the Bureau of Fisheries.
 This correspondence brought on immediate response, in which the association was informed that the permit contained a proviso in regard to fishways, which are required under the act creating the Federal Power Commission; and assurance was given that no permits would be grant ed that do not provide for adequate prot ectiOn of the fish If was learned however, that special legislation would be required to provide for the construction of hatcheries where fish ways are impracticable.
