to turn over to the landlady.
Following the murder Means es-
capped. The police and county au-
thorfties were unable to trace his
movements but circulated poSers
containing a description Of the ne
gro.
The father of Perry who lives IN
Yves Virginia communicated with
Prosecutor Stricken recently stating
that Means might be found in or
near Columbus, Ohio, which was
Means home. Prosecutor Strlcker
instructed Detective David to again
broadcast circulars bearing Means
description and this was done sew
eral weeks ago.

ceived a telegram from Montreal,
Canada, stating that the police were
holding a negro on suspicion,

graphic communication with Canad-
ian authorities, and IL it is learned
that the man is Means, Detective
David will go to Canada in order to
secure e~xtradition papers for the
and bring Means back to this

NEW MOVE IN
POTASH CASE
Auxiliary Receivers Named to
Investigate Actions of Mid
dIesex County Corporation

NEWARK, Feb. 2-Joseph H
Quigg. of Paterson, and James Kec-
ney, Of Trenton, lost their fight g
be named permanent receivers for
the Eastern Potash Corporation as
a result of a decision handed down
today by Federal Judge Lynch here
Under the decision Quigg and
Kerney were named auxiliary re-
ceivers with John o. Biggs of Will
mington, Delaware, supplementine
an equity action against the COM
pany brought before Federal Judge
Morris of Delaware.
Judge Lynch's decision held that
the rights of the Delaware receiver
were prior even though his appoint
ment was subsequent to that or the
New Jersey receivers.
The financial affairs of the East
ern Potash Corporation have at
tracted attention recently of the au-
thorities of three states, New Jersey,
New York and Delaware. The al
legged manipulation OF it's stocks and
bonds, represented to have g pal
value of s., 100000, has resulted In
the expulsion from the New York
stock exchange of the firm of He'll
wig and Reuter-, and a John Doe in
vestigation of the company's affairs
by District Attorney Banton of New
York.
Two sets OF receivers we're fight
ing for control of the company's as
sets in equity proceedings and bank
ruptcy petitions have been filed in
New Jersey and Delaware. A num-
Der of actions have begun by stock
holders charging fraud. The stock
holders represent thousands of men
and women throughout the east, at
torneys for the receivers declare.
Under Judge Lynch's decision the
Auxiliary receivers in this state will
remain simply as ~custodians of The
corporations properties at Raritan
and Lakewood.
Richard E. Gaven, Of Buffalo. n.
Y, n of the trustees of the Buffalo
Savings Bank and a stock holder in
the Eastern Potash Corporation,
brought the equity action and bank
ruptcy proceedings against the cor
poration in Delaware. He claims
that the corporation owes him s32.-
600. 1t was through his efforts that
the New Jersey receivers were made
Joint receivers with the one named
by the Delaware court.
1t is charged by stockholders that
the potash company, although it had
made no potash. nor could show any
profits from any other source. had
declared a 81 per cent dividend.
This was done, stockholders charge,
by compelling a subsidiary company
to pay a IA per cent dividend to the
Eastern Potash Company and these
funds were used for dividend pur-
poses by the latter concern.
