Brisk Contest Among Stock?
holders of Norwalk
Lock Co.
IN COURT LONG TIME.
Majority Stockholders Oppose the Efforts of
the Minority. ‘
The matter of appointing a receiver
to the Norwalk Lock Co. has finally
reached trial. It has been before. the
Superior Court for a long time“ and
came up for argument among the short
calendar motions Tues lay when the
applicant for a receiver was ordered to
make more specific his charges of
mismanagement.
Judge Ralph Wheeler opened the Sn-
perior court early Tuesday, to expedite
matters. The first case reached was
the application of F. G. Noyes of Nos}.-
ua, N. T-T., who asks that the court ap-
point a receiver winding up the affairs
of the Norwalk, Lock Co. The plain-
tiff is represented by Davenport &
Banks and'J. H. Reed. He is a minor-
ity shareholder, and repi-esents 1,325
shares at $25 per share. He is not him-
self owuer of all those shares, but has
power of attorney for other sharehold-
ers.
Sixty stockholders ”representing 7,-
123 shares oppose this motion. They
admit that the company lost money
during the years of the panic, the
same as all other manufacturing con-
cerns, but they say that the worst is
over and that there is now amark-
ed improvement. They say that the
money borrOWed on the bonds is to
make further improvements and they
believe that with the new machinery
which they can purchase with this
money they will be able to meet‘all
competition.
Mr. Noyes alleges gross mismanage-
ment of the concern, and that a re-
ceiver would save the capital of the
minority shareholders. The defense is
represented by Attorney Winthrop H.
Perry, of Norwalk, and Attorney Scott
of Danbury. The claim of the defense
is that the general depression in the
iron industry has affected the company
as it has all the other like concerns in
the country, but if unhindered the
company is perfectly solvent, has a
surplus of $37,000 overall indebtedness,
and is doing a' prosperous business at
the present time. ~
The evidence was of detailed charac-
ter relating to the business of the con-
cern, its dropping off in business from
1894 till the present year; it was shown
that since last January the business
had increased enabling the concern to
‘increase its assets and decrease its in-
debtedness.
Legislature Adjourns.
The General Assembly of 1899 held
its closing session yesterday and ad!
journed sine die. There were many
farewell speeches, expressing the good
feeling which has existed in each house
during the session. All matters of
busines: were cleaned up and the
House refused all inducements to re-
vive some matters. Lieutenant-Gover-
nor Mills, who has made an exception-
ally able presiding oflicer, Speaker
Brandegee, the clerks and chaplains
of. both bodies were the recipients of
valuable presents and the best of good
feeling prevailed.
A resolution presented Senator
Muzzy, giving the gavel used by Sen-
ator E. O. Keheler of Norwalk president
pro mm, to him, was passed.

Company of Norwalk, a corporation
which paid a fee of $6,000.

_ 7 Gold— Production.
A close race is that in gold production
in the United States, Australia and
South Africa. Last year the United
States lost the first place, but may be
expect-ed to regain it. The figures for
1898 were: South Africa, $80,000,000;
Australia, $67,792,000, and the United
States, $65,782,667. Australia, like this
country, is getting more gold from low-
grade ores, and gold is also obtained
by dredging machinery from the ooze
at the bottom of streams. Australian
gold coins originally had a greenish
tin t. butthe silver that caused it is now
extracted by a chemical process.

ROOSEVELT AT coh’rgtu.
Addresses Clan: of ’99 and a Crowd
In Dertt Park.
ITHACA, N. Y., June 21.—Governor
Roosevelt was greeted with cheers yea-
terday when he attended the class day
exercises of the class of ’99 in Cornell
armory. The governor ascended the
rostrum and was introduced by Presi-
dent M. M. Upson of the senior class.
In opening his address Mr. Roosevelt re-
lated several anecdotes of the late war
and in some of them referred to Cornell
men in his command in the kindliest
terms. He then addressed himself par-
ticularly to the graduating class, whose
members occupied reserved seats. His
discourse wps replete with good advice to
them and to all college men. Early in
his address the governor referred to
statements recently made by several
men who had amassed great fortunes to
the effect that collegiate education is
useless in the world. of today. He attack-
ed their position vehemently and said:
“Our country coul" etter afford to
millions than to lose {re-half of its col-
lege bred men. “'42 call get along with-
out men of enormous wealth, but not
without men of brains.”
Governor Roosevelt was royally en-
tee from the Ithaca Business Men’s as-
sociation, and when he was driven to
DeWitt park he was greeted by' an im-
mense throng, of people. Arranged
about the speakers’ stand were crowds of
Ithaca school children bearing American
flags.
WILL LEAVE OHIO.
The Standard on Company Prepar-
ing to Move to New York.
CLEVELAND, June 21.—The Stand-
ard Oil company is preparing to get out
of Ohio. Its headquarters will be re-
moved from this city to New York, and
on the lst of July its Ohio charter will
i be given up. The office force here will
be reduced from about 60 men to less
than one-tenth of that number. Th9 re:
cent incorporation of the cohipnny in
New Jersey with a capital of $110,000,-
. 000 was the first step in the abandon-
ment of Ohio. An officer of t 9 company
confirms the repert of the removal of the
office and says that Cleveland will here-
after be only a branch office like those
maintained in several cities.
It was suggested that the action of the
company was prompted by a desire to
avoid further litigation such as was in-
stituted by Attorney General Monnett,
but the officer who'gave the information
denied that such was the case. Virgil P.
Kline, the attorney of the company, also
said there was no desire to escape litiga—i
tion, and he scouted the idea that Attor-
ney General Monnett had driven the
company from the state.

.1 Correction of the Published State-
lncnt of Conununder Hodgson.
WASHINGTON, June 21. — Another
chapter has been added to the contro-
versy over the Brooklyn’s loop by Cap-
tain French E. Chadwick, commanding'
the armored cruiser New York, in a re—
port giving the result of an examination
made by him of Lieutenant Commander
Lewis G. Heilner in regard to the lattcr’s I
statement that Lieutenant Commander
Hodgson repeated to him the colloquy .
between Admiral Schley and Mr. Hodg- a
son on the Brooklyn when Schlcy gave ,

peculiar maneuver. The report, of Cap-
tain Chadwick was received at the navy
department yesterday morning through
the ordinary ofiicial channels. Lieuten-
ant Commander I-Icilner told Captain
Chadwick that the report of the colloquy
as published was practically the conver-
sation repeated to him by Lieutenant
Commander dodgson. ' ,
The navy department issued a state
ment Correcting the report of Captaain
Chadwick on the explanation made" by
Lieutamnt Commander Hodgson regard-
ing the colloquy between Admiral Schley
and Lieutenant Hodgson. 1n the state-
ment given out Monday the copyist in
the department made an error in copying
Captain Chadwick's letter. Thc'error
was in the omission of an important re-
mark credited to Admiral Schley by
Lieutenant Hodgson. The correction as
issued by the navy department reads:
“The typewritten copy of statement of.
Captain Chadwick and Lieutenant Com-
terdny was in error in the following
points: About one-third from the begin-
ning, where published statement reads:
‘I intended him to understand there was
danger of running into the Texas. He
said, “All right,” or words to that effect;
I cannot repeat verbatim,’ it should have
read: ‘I intended him to understand there
was danger of running into the Texas.
He said, “All right; the Texas must look
.out for that,” or words to that effect; I
cannot repeat verbatim.’ ” ,
CLEVELAND LABOR TROUBLE.
Serious Riotlng Yesterday—A Settle-
ntent Believed to Be In Sight.
CLEVELAND, June 21.—\Vhile the
prospects for a settlement of the strike
of the street railway men are brighter
than they have been at any time since
the trouble began, there was more seri-..
ous rioting yesterday t an at any pre-
vious time. The disturbances began early
in the morning, continued throughout the
day, and last night a big mob. surrounded
the south side barns of the Big Consoli—
dated company, determined to get at the
nonunion men who are housed there.
W hilc .the sympathizers of the strikers
were hurling bricks and stones at non-
union motormen and conductors a spe—
cial committee of the city council was
trying to get the representatives of the
strikers and the officers of the company
together, and it succeeded to the extent
of inducing the strikers to submit a
proposition in: writing and getting the
consent of President Everett of the Big
Consolidated to submit the same to the
board of directors this morning. The
strikers’ proposition abandons the de-
mand for the recognition of the union,
but asks that :11] the old men be taken
back save those who may be convicted in
court of destroying property. The mem-
bers of the council committee believe'a
settlement is in sight.
