COLUMBUS, Ohlo, July 20.—A tri- parte receivership for the R. L. Doll- ings Company of Ohio and the Inter- national Note and Mortgage Com- pany, a subsidiary of the Dollings Company, today was appointed by Common Pleas Judge Robert P. Dun- can after the company had acqulesced in the appointment of receivers de- manded last Saturday by thirteen stockholders and joined today by fif- teen other shareholders. The receivers are Willlam C. Wil- lard, a vice president of the Hunt- ington National Bank, selected per- sonally by the court; Paul A. De Long, selected by counsel represent- ing shareholders, and Samuel A. Kin- near, selected by counsel for the Dollings Company. All are Columbus men. Ohio Attorney Named, The court also appointed Fred N. Sinks, Columbus attorney, recelver for the C. & E. Shoe Company, Columbus, which had been financed by the Dol- lings Company, upon application of Boston creditors. His bond was fixed at $50,000. Fifteen more stockholders today joined the original thirteen petition- ers for receivership, who had declared that the companies with from $60,- 000,000 to $75,000,000 worth of stock sold to approximately 80,000 persons, were being managed “for the purpose of selling stock and not for the bene- fit of the stockholders.” William G. Benham, as president of the Ohio company, and Dwight Har- rison, as vice president, have been dominating the affairs of the other companies, all of which are dealers in securities, through nominal direc- torates, according to the petitioners.

What the Belglan government would Iike to do is to work out a compromise plan, smoothing over temporarily the points in dispute which divide France from Great Britain, and re-establishing momentarily the interallied unity of front toward Germany. Work for Compromise. Belglan diplomats and statesmen are working frantically to bring about this result. They profess to be encouraged in_thelr efforts by the arrival in Brus- sels of another eminent expert in the art of compromise, namely, Foreign MinisterEduard Benesof Czechoslovakia, who, after extended visits to London and Paris, now has come here to con- sult with Premler Theunis and Foreign Minister Jaspar of Belglum. One scheme of compromise in favor here was given to the writer as follows by a member of the Belglan parliament: A summons by Great Britain to Germany regarding the cessation of pas- sive resistance in the Ruhr. “2, Acceptance by France and Bel- glum, at least by the latter nation, of a proposal for the convocation of a c ference of experts to examine Ger- many’s capacity to pay, providing that this same conference be subordinated to the authority of the reparations com- mission and be made plausible under the treaty of Verailles by a grant of the consultative powers onl; Gradually Leave Ruhr. “3. The transformation of the Ruhr occupation from an active to a pas- sive stage with evacuation envisaged as a possibility if Germany grants other satisfactory guarantees as sug- gested by the late papal letter on reparations. “4. Renouncement by Great Britain of all claims to reparations in excess of the sum of four billlon dollars, or sixteen billion gold marks, to cover the British debt to the United *5. Recognition of half-billlon-dollar minimum to France and one-and-a-quarter-billion-doliar minimum to Belgium to pay for the costs of reconstruction. Terms Suit Belgium. On terms such as these Belgiu would be willing to come to terms, | respective of the attitude of France. If the above plan and other attempts at a compromise should fail, however, it {8 admitted that Belgium would be forced into an ugly position. De- spite of the sympathy for France, the opinion of the Belgian people is not unanimously behind the Ruhr adven- ture. The country by no means sees eye to eye with Franch respecting Germany. The Flemish ministers in the Bel- e JULY 20, 1923. glan cabinet are be urging undlllonll evacuation. The Cath s have been influenced in the same Uirection by the Pope's letter. It the Theunis government were to fall ugain, as is possible any day, Belgium might experience & complete reversal in her Ruhr policy after she had committed ‘the irreparable fault of antagonizing Great Britain. Theu- nis was obliged to promise parllament that his cabinet would make no move toward -a _further rapprochment with elther Franco or Great Britain without consulting the chamber of deputies. Trade Hit By Policy. The commercial Interests of Bel- glum coincide with those of Great Britain more than with those of France., The port of Antwerp is hard hit by the disturbed conditions in the Rhiléland and in the Ruhr. Business is depressed, commerce is languishing, the exchange 1is de- scending and unemployment is in- creasing through a persistence in the uncertainty as to reparations. An excess in population of 2,000,000 souls is sald to have grown up in the countryside. Belgium realizes that she is not a self-sufficing nation like France. Finally, some politiolans seem inclined to fear that little Bel- glum sooner or later will be swal- lowed up by France it Great Britain decides to withdraw from the entente, Benes Is Hopeful. A compromise transaction between Great Britain and France is more po sible than most people expect, ac- ording to Dr. Benes. Judging by as- surances given him, he said, the Brit- ish note will not be couched in terms capable of bringing about a rupture between the cabinets in London and Paris, He told the writer today that ac- cording to data given him experts de- manded by Great Britain as judges of Germany's capacity to pay might well be accepted by France if they were chosen from the reparatlons commis- sion in Paris. —_— uitable accommodations for kers is a novel career which omen have successfully Finding holiday ms several taken up. -~ ask tor Horlick's The ORIGINAL Malted Milk Bob-Curl The Hair Curls irons.

By the Assoclated Pres: WESTERVILLE, Ohfo, July When Warren G. Harding of Marion, Ohio, was elected President he appoint- ed Mrs. Mary E. Lee, an old friend of this neighboring place. as postmistress of Westerville. The W lle post- mastership pays weu. s Westerville is the home of the National Antl- Saloon League, and there is consider- ble mail to be handled. But Mrs. Lee did not get along well with some of the men employes, and four or five of them were removed. The Business Men's Assoclation and many prominent citizens protested, but Mrs. Lee stood her ground, and was backed up by the Federal Civil Service Commission.” “Lack of harmony” was the charge. Things quieted down for a time, but trouble broke out with renewed ven- geance yesterday, when another em- ploye was dismissed.” Now the Wester- vilie business men say they will pro- test to President Harding when he re- turns from his trip to Alaska.
