RECEIVERS CLASH
LOOMS FOR Court
Judge Williams Appoints Sec
ond Comptroller For
Bankrupt Oil Com
pany.

MUSKOGEE, Okla.--A clash of re-
ceivers loomed as Judge Williams in
federal court Tuesday named n. A.
Goforth, Hugo banker to take over the
affairs of the MERIDIAN Petroleum Com
pany, which are already supposedly in
the hands of I'll. G.. James, who was
named receiver in Missouri.
James was named by Judge Pollock
of Kansas, sitting as a special judge
in the western Missouri district.
Have Large Mortgage.
Suit for the receiver was brought
by the Dearborn Trust and Savings
bank of Chicago. which holds an over
due mortgage of 50, 500 900 on the com
pany's properties.
The oil company's attorneys main
tanned that Williams did not have the
power 10 appoint a second receiver,
but the trust company's legal battlers
retorted that the suit for a receiver
was filed in Williams court several
hours ahead of the one filed in Pol
locks court so that Williams was
really the pole horse.
Williams Didn't Hesitate.
After listening 10 arguments by both
sides each pointing out several authori-
tiles, Judge Williams announced at
noon Monday that by IL O'Clock Tues
day morning he would return his de
clsion.
He did not take much time, how
ever in making his decision and as
result Goforth was appointed with
the instructions to take an inventory
and render statements showing the con-
dltion Of the estate. Ills bond was
fixed at $4,000.

Marston has been the reigning

Pipp then smacked a beauty down
the right foul line for a single, send
ing Dugan to third. For the second
time Shocker passed Schang and

the sales recently there were women
with firm fingers jerking blouses away
from limp, tentative fingers and ell
bowling through crowds In a manner
that even a conductor would regret
10 see in a street car. Rich silk pet
tIcoats spilled off the counters on the
dusty floor, and women tramped over
them just as though they were clumps
of buttercups. Little frail bits OF
lingerie were lugged at the seams IN
a way that was simply asking for
trouble; fimsy blouses were tossed
into crumpled heaps. 1t seemed scarce

One beach comber observed was carry
ing a silk umbrella filled with jewelry
and another half filled with coins. He
explained that the rain had aided him
in detecting the presence of the jew
elry and coins in the sand. For years
beach combing at Rockaway las been
a fall industry. Hundreds of persons
frequently take part in the search and
discover many valuable articles lost
by summer visitors. Last year so
numerous were the combers that the
supports under some sections of the
pavillons and hotels were weakened as
the result of their activities and the
police had to patrol the beach In. an
effort to check the undermining OF
buildings.

Swiss Santa Rings Bell.

In the quaint little town of st. Cal
len, Switzerland, which has retained
many of it's curious medieval customs,
Santa Claus makes his visits ringing a
gigantic cowbell, says Popular Science
Magazine.
In st. Gallen. every Christmas eve
twelve men array themselves In white
trousers and shirts, embroidered wool
suspenders, and bright red ties. Each
one fastens an enormous cowbell on
to a wide leather belt, and covers his
head with an enormous mask Of card
board, the upper part of which Is
decorated by stenciled designs.
One Of the twelve is called "Sami-
chlaus." It is his duty to give the good
children presents. The other eleven
remain at a little distance on the out
skirts Of the jolly crowd that follows
them on their rounds. giving candy to
the grownups and entertaining every
body with their clowning.
