TYPESETTIIB WIPAIV
II STANFORD ATTACHEII

rm Unable to Obtain lionsy
' Owing to Fstiursot Knicker-
bocker Trust Company ‘"

STANFORD. Feb. 20.——Application
was made in the Superior Court today
for the appointment of a receiver for
the American Machine Typesetting
Company, the president of which is
Robert rr. The company has an.
authorised capital stock oi 0500.000.
oi which stock to the amount of 0140.-
000 is issued. The application to have,
the commny placed in e receiver's
hands Is made by Mr. Kerr, whose
claim oi 018,100 against it is the larg-
est of any of the creditors. Another
large claim is that of the biergenthnler
Company for $8.000. Mr. Kerr holds
$60,000 worth of the company's bonds.
and it is stated that owing to the fail-
ure of the Knickerbocker Trust Com-
pany of New York, the trustee for the
bonds. the company has been unable
to obtain money. .
‘ The company originally intended to
organize a large school here tor the
purpose of training men as linotype
operators. but it was never put into
operation. The scheme was conceived
only a few years ago, and at the time
caused considerable colnmcnt. as the
school would have been the first of its
kind ever established.

.iohn McIntyre and i". W. ileatll,
both of New York, are large stockhold~
ers of the company.

DRINKING WATER
FULL OF GEIWS

Thai Used at Sedgswick School,
Stratiorli, is ,iiondclnneli by
State Baciorioiogisi

 

 

 

 

 

 

Condemned by the stale bacteria
iogist as full of germs and absolutely
unfit for drinking purposes, the water
in a well at the Sedgewick public
school in Stratiord, used by upwards
of 100 pupils. every school day, has
been cut oii by Dr. (i. F. Lewis. health
officer. and the well closed up.

As a result the pupils at the Scope-
wick school are without water supply
and will be so until the board of eddy
cation‘takes some action to relieve
them. The authorities. however, be-
lieve such a condition is preferable to
allowing the children to keep on
drinking the alleged deadly well water.

The finding of the state bacteria
logist has caused a profound sensa~
tion in the pretty little town of Strut-
ford. The Sedgowick school. located
in the southern portion of the village.
is one of the largest in the town
There are four rooms and generally
about 40 pupils in each room.

Parents of the children were in
considerable alarm when the news of
the finding of the bacteriologlst. was
noiscd about, but Dr. Lewis took the
situation in hand at once by condemnv
ing the well'and ordering it immedi-
ately closed up.

Some days ago a request, was made
to Dr. Lewis. as health oillcer, from
the state laboratory at Middletowu
for samples oi the drinking water
used in the public schools. A num-
ber of the schools‘are supplied with
water from the Beardsley Park reser-
voir in this city. The re rt indi-
cates that the examination of the
water from that reservoir showed it
to be in good condition.

The sample sent from the Sedge-
wick school well. however, was found.
under analysis. to be badly contami-
nated and alive with bacteria. The
deadly germs which «use epidemics
of intestinal disorders. typhoid and
other diseases were found in the well
water in abundance. so the report dc
claws.

Residents oi Strattord breathed
easier today when (Ile’ learned that
llr. Lewis had taken action to close
up the well at once. The problem oi
getting a water supply for the school
now confronts the school committee.

con—h.-

CHICAGO, Feb. 20—3. H. Harri-
man today gained a complete victory
in the lilinols Central litigation which
has been in the Superior Court since
last October. Judge Ball today ren-
dered a decision dimlvlng the tempor-
ary injunction granted to Stuyvesant
Fish by which 286,231 shares oi stock
were enjoined irom being voted at the
annual meeting of the lllinois Central
Railroad Company. This stock. which
was held by the Union Pacific Railroad
Company and the Railroad Securities
Company of New Jersey, can now be
voted at t e annual meeting. which
will be hot in this city March}.

The decision oi Judge Ball amounted
to about 10.000 words. After going at
considerable length into the various
claims and assertions made by both
sides. the court went on to say:

”it is urged that the complainants
under the rules of equity “ practice

directors of the llllnois Central to

poration are equally interested. lie

Prolonged litigation may grow out
of the moon Tea and Codes Company.
of South Norwslit. Several important
hearings have recently been held by
Referee in Bankruptcy J. W. Banks

on the case. the creditors seeking to
llnd out all they can about the internal
sifsirs of the concern. it has been
necessary to summon some of the
stockholders of the defunct company
by subpoena in order to get them to
testify. Attorneys for the deionse
have unmerciiully grilled them, so that
much information of inportsnce has
been obtained in regard to the finan-
ces of the company. . ‘

One important fact alleged to have
been discovered is that the stock of
the company was never fully paid up.
it. seems that a good deal of it was
paid for in merchandise. and it was as.
sorted by those familiar with the way
the concern was run that valuations
largely in excess of the real ones were
placed upon their merchandise, which
accounts for the belief that the stock
has never been frilly paid for. it is
though by persons conversant with
the case that action may be taken by
some of the unprotected creditors to
have some of those declared preferred
by the bankrupt set aside, on the
ground that their claims are not such
as would entitle them to any prefer-
ence.

CHILDREN SUFFERING
FIIOI IIAI'iD TIIES

Selectmen in Country Towns

, (impelled to Provide Wear-
ing Apparel for tile Iiecdy All
Over the State '

According to a statement made by
(lites Potter, agent at the state talurd
of education. the number of children
unable to attend school because of a
lack of proper clothing and adequate
nourishment is greater at the present
time than ever before in his memory,
and is steadily augumented. Another
feature of school niiuirs to which Mr.
Potter called attention is the great
number of children being taken from
schofland put to work in stores and
isctories when positions can be found
for them.

“This condition of affairs." said'hir.
Potter, "is not surprising, for every
one knows that times have been exv
copiionally hard for four months past.
Parents who. provide for their families
from day to day and depend solely up
on their weekly wages‘to do so, have
been unable of late to clothe their
children in a way suitable to permit
tlfiir attendance at school. Losing
their work, the beads of families have
seen wives and children suffer, but
have been unable to secure work.

"in all the large cities the charities
departments take care of as many of
these cases as possible. Other philan-
thropic organizations do the same. in
the smaller towns the selectmen are
empowered to provide the necessary
wearing apparel for children where it
is known parents cannot do it, or else
lend them to the county home.

"This work of charity is sometimes
