Edwin NJ Otterbourg of OtterbourG,
Slender & Houston. counsel for the

said that any estimate of Mr.. Spiegels
assets at present would be contectural.
His statement added:
"The purpose OF the receivership Is to
conserve the assets OF Max Spiegel and
to protect the interests OF creditors in
respect thereto. His affairs are ins a
chaotic state at present, due to his hav-
ing been committed to a sanitarium by
order OF the Probate Court OF Stamford.

Whether or not he is in fact insane is
a matter VIII y may be tested later.

that he should be in a sanitarium are
Drs Graeme Hammond and Carlos t..

Mortimer Ffshel of Gerber. Dittenhoe-
fer & Fishel counsel for the producer,
said that it would be impossible to say
how many cents on the dollar would be
paid by Spiegel. He explained:
Because of Mr.. Sp!egers mental col
lapse this is difficult to ascertain. Ac-
countants are going over his books. and
they may be able to report in two or
three days. Meanwhile, i am certain
that If his creditors will cooperate. there
will be substantial remuneration"

Company Fights Attempt to
Have New York Take
Jurisdiction.

Ar involuntary petition in bankruptcy
was filed yesterday against the Liberty
Oil Company OF 62 Cedar street. as
closing the bankruptcy of the company
in the United States Court at Wichita
Kan. December 9. and seeking TO take
jurisdiction from that court.
The liabilities of the company are es-
tipated at more than S1.250.OOo. with
assets consisting of lands and leases
whose value is undetermined.
The Liberty OH Company was organized
in 1915 by a. Il. Leach & Co.. Inc, IN
vestment brokers' of GO Cedar street, and
J. w. r. Crawford, vice-president OF
half a dozen subsidiaries OF the Stan
dard oil Company. Henry NJ. Earle,
attorney for Leach & Co.. said the
court here will be asked to dismiss the
petition. on the ground that the home
offices and assets of the ,oii company
are In reality in the jurisdiction OF the
Kansas court.
A. Gordon Murray OF 56 Pine street,
attorney for three petitioning creditors
here, contends that the headquarters OF
the Liberty OIL Company which is de-
scribed as a Virginia corporation. are
in New York and that the companys q
assets are negligible. He said also thar
a dozen or more actions in equity have
been filed against Leach Co.. sellers
OF the Liberty securities. for recovery
OF purchasers. money on the ground that
misrepresentation were made concern
ing tho paper Mr.. Earle said one such
action had been brought, was won by
Leach & Co. and is now on appeal. but
he knew OF no others.
The Liberty OIL Company issued five
series OF per cent. convertible secured
gold notes. at intervals of severa
months beginning In the summer oi
1915, each series being secured by the
purchase of potential oil lands in Okla
horna and Kanas. A sinking fund to bt
created from a percentage of gross prof
it's was established with the Bankers
Trus. Company as trustee. At first the
company prospered. and then its wells
failed. The sinking fund payments
dwindled to nothing.
The first series of notes matured July
1921, and the company defaulted. as ha!
been the case in ali except the las
series. which is not due until March

The New York herald., 1922-12-20

Eight names for negro babies were
added to the list because to this nursery
are always brought a number of the
dark skinned little folk whose parents
apparently have no use for them. Many
of these babies are later adopted. They
are first received by Bellevue Hospital
and then sent 70 hospitals and nurseries.
The announcement made yesterday by
John r. Howard, superintendent OF the
West Eixty-frst street Nursery, said
that the religion Of the babies Is de-
cided by their number. Even number
babies are adjudged to be Protestants
and odd number babies Catholics. where
the religion OF the parents Is not in
dica.ad. Miss Hooper said that the num-
ber of abandoned children had been de-
clining in recent years and that while
1922 had brought nineteen youngsters
to their doors, she did not anticipate
more than a score. II that many. in
