Steinem were appointed today by Chief Justice Alfred A. Wheat of District Su- preme Court as temporary receivers for | Robert Berberich's Sons, Inc., engaged | in business at 1200-02 F street, with a | branch at 1109 G street, following a | recent application to have the corpora- tion adjudged bankrupt. No answer was filed to the petition, but Attorney James A. Toomey, repre- senting the merchants, consented to the appointment of the receivers. The bond of the receivers was fixed at $25.000 and they were ordered to con- tinue the business of the corporation. The court directed the United States marshal, who has been in charge at| the Berberich stores since the levying | of attachments by a local bank and the | Jand'ord. to surrender the property to the receivers. The order also enjoins | any claimants from filing attachments and from molesting the receivers in the discharge of thelr duties. The receivers are authorized to con- duct the business and to employ neces- sary help, pending the appointment of a | trustee in bankrupcy, provided the re- | ceivers, after invesiigation, conclude that the business should be conducted as a going concern. | The application for a receivership | was filed by three Ohlo corporations | who had claims against the Berberich | corporation.

Protests in Wire. Dr. Vollbehr's telegram said: “Regret deeply your attitude and decision not to include’ the name of Hans Wagner among Cornell's immortal heroes who each believed to be just and sacred.” In a letter to The Star, Dr. Vollbehr today explained his view of the matter. “To any thinking man,” he wrote, “the standpoint taken by Dr. Farrand is obviously wrong, while that taken by the Cornell Daily Sun is the only decent one possible of taking. Pleads Fairness. “War is hell at best. One fights for one wishes to or not, as eny draft dodger found either in the ~United States or in any other country during the World War. Again, any man who influences public opinion has the ob- minded, certainly not to perpetuate hate, either by hasty words or even failure to speak up in a fair and open- minded way. you agree with me and countless others on this point.” The Cornell Sun is leading a fight to have Wagner's name inscribed with 264 other sons of Cornell on the war tablet.
