R.P. ANDREWS ASKS
COMPANY RECEIVER
Wholesale Paper Dealer Says
Firm Is Absolutely Solvent,
But Faces Difficulties.

Ross p. Andrews, president of the
r. p. Andrews Paper Co., which con-
ducts a wholesale paper business in
Washington and in York, Pa, today
asked the District Supreme Court to
appoint a receiver to conduct the
business of the corporation. Mr.. An
drews declares the corporation is alb
solutely solvent, having assets of
$S48,719.13 and owing only $685., ,4O7.93,
in addition to it's capital stock of
500 900.
Because of circumstances, the court
is told, the company finds itself en-
barrassed in it's inability to pay it's
present obligations without greatly
sacrificing its real estate or other
holdings. Unless the court intervenes
and names some one to carry on the
business. the plaintiff says, the com
pany is threatened with disaster, and
further prosecution of business under
rious loss to it's creditors as we'll as
to stockholders.
Would Protect Stockholders.
With the court taking over the ad-
ministration the belief is expressed by
Mr.. Andrews that all creditors will
be uniformly protected and the stock
holders safeguarded against loss.
Mr.. Andrews says he owns III
shares of the capital of 1000 shares
and that there are IL other stockhold-
ers, most of them residents of the
District. The creditors of the COM
pany are scattered throughout various
parts of the United States, the court
is advised.
Justice Jennings Bailey took the
application under advisement.
Maurice D. Rosenberg is counsel
for Mr. Andrews.
Mr.. Andrews i'm Ill Health.
AS is well known to his friends. Mr..
Andrews stated today he had been in
i'll health for some time and his busi-
ness had been practically running
itself, the merchandise stock having
been increased to such an extent that
it caused stringency in cash. He peti-
toned for a receivership, he explained,
in order that he might not be inter
fered with in getting the business in
proper shape. About rs per cent of
the creditors, Mr.. Andrews said, had
Joined with him in asking the court
that he be appointed the receiver.

SALTLAKECITY
TOPHOENIX ROAD
CONTEMPLATED

PHOENIX, May 10 R9-The first
move in the creation of a grand high
way connecting Phoenix with Salt Lake
City was made today in the state
capitol when Henry H. Blood, chair
man of the Utah state road commits
sion, and Randall Jones, special repre-
sentative of the. park service of the
Union Pacific railroad, met in the
governors office with Governor Hunt,
State Engineer Lefebvre and H. S.
McCluskey for the purpose of con-
Sidering the possibilities of linking up
the highway system of Arizona with
that of Utah by means of the proposed
Lees Ferry bridge across the Colorado
river, which is expected to be COM
pleted in about year.
AS a result of the conference State
Engineer Lefebvre will in June inspect
the region to the north and south of
Lees Ferry. He will cooperate with
Utah officials in the survey.
Commissioner Blood said that the
proposed Phoenix-Salt Lake City high
way would be without an equal in the
country for natural grandeur, scenic
beauty and interest. He gave it as his
opinion that it will be found quite
feasible to have the road pass through
the Zion national park, the Kaibab
national forest, Bryce canyon, Cedar
Breaks, Rainbow natural bridge, the
Indian country south of Lees Ferry,
which is rich in the prehistoric remains
of both men and animals, the painted
desert, the Coconino plateau, the Grand
canyon and number of other places
of note.
He pointed out that the building of
such a highway would for the first
time open direct communication be-
tween Arizona and Utah and the entire
northwest to the Pacific coast.

Hold fast, We Christian women,
Go forward in your might,
Great is the task before you,
For God and home and right;
Hold fast in faith believing
The right will surely win,
Hold high the torch of victory,
Above the battles din.
Hold fast, We noble women,
With courage brave and true,
The world is watching, waiting,
The great, glad news from you;
Your cause is grand and glorious,
Stand fast and forward go,
An army strong is marching
To victory DER the foe.
Hold fast, courageous women,
Keep faith with comrades gone,
Build we'll on truths foundation,
Go forward every one;
See rank on rank is marching,
With shining ribbons white,
The nations strong defenders,
Against the foes of right.
