VALLEJO, June 22.—slembers of the Vallejo Chamber of Commerce and prominent citizens proceeded to Mare Is- land this evening and presented to Rear- Admiral Merriil Miller, who is soon to be relieved of the command of the navy yard, a handsome loving cup as a token of the regard entertained in this community» to- ward that officer. Frank R. Devlin, president of the Chamber of Commerce, made the presen- tation speech. The cup is of solid ster- ling silver and is fifteen inches high. It is an elegant plece of workmanship and bears this inscription: “Presented to Rear Admiral Merrill Miller, U. 8.

ARGUMENT3 IN SHIPYARD TRUST GASE Great Array of Legal Talent Appears ARE FILLED BY GOVERNOR in Court. Another Day Is Required for the Receivership Hearing. Facts Brought Out Concerning Ship- building Company’s Organiza- tion Sprprise Even the Judge. ~/ Special Dispatch to The Call. NEW YORK, June 22.—So earnest and voluminous were the pleas for and against the appointment of a receiver for the United States Shipbuilding Company, made by eminent lawyers in the United States Circuit Court at Trenton, N. J., to-day, that when the hour for adjourn- ment arrived Judge Kirkpatrick sald an- other day would 'have to be flevoted to the hearing and summoned the litigants to assemble again to-morrow in his court- room at Newark. Counsel for the shipbuilding company protested against the idea of tying up its assets and placing the scattered plants in the hands of receivers and read affidavits from the heads of the San Francisco, Elizabethport and other constituent con- cerns that the credits of their establish- ments had been seriously upset by the very publication of the complaint of the first mortgage bondholders. The affiants asseverated their belief that if the Shel- don reorganization committee’s plan for rehabilitating the shipbuilding company | were put into effect it would enable them to continue as going concerns. But at the same time they made admissions that Surprise was indicated not only by (hfl‘y to be members of the Board of in Optometry. This board was the last Legislature for the eral afidavits that subsidiary companies | held leases from the parent company which the United States Shipbuilding Company could terminate at five days’ no- tice. ! It was when this fact was stated, to- gether with the allegation that the parent concern was not insolvent, though sub- sidiary plants might have many debts | due, that Judge Kirkpatrick observed | that the parent concern seemed to hold | all the assets and the constituent com- panles owed all the debts. To-day's arguments developed nothing of importance, and the appointment of a recelver by the Judge is, of course, as y purely conjectural. Counsel for the peti- | xaminer: by ate. H. F.

Birner and James McCor- gricultural District, vice themselves; deputations are coming to Belgrade, free wine and beer are to be provided by the government, and the town is to be given up to rejoicing.

WOOLMAN READS COMPLAINT. Each side had a big array of counsel. Representing the complainant were R. V. Lindabury, Henry Woolman and Henry Untermeyer. Counsel for the shipbuildigg company were Charles L. Corbin, Attor- ney General Robert H. McCarthy and Charles C. Deming. The ease was opened by Woolman read- ing at length the bill of complaint. During the reading fact that Charles M. Schwab had re- ceived for the Bethlehem Steel Works $30,000,000, made up as follows: $10,000,000 preferred stock, $10,000,000 common stock and $10,000,000 of collateral bonds. Judge Kirkpatrick asked what the col- lateral consisted of, and was told that it embraced two mortgages, one on the Bethlehem plant and another on the ship- building company’s entire property. He made a humorous comment to the effect that Schwab was well secured. When the reading of the bill of com- reading the exhibits in the case, one of issued by Company containing a atement of the com- Republic Trust flattering pany's condition. exhibit as not properly before the court. Judge Kirkpatrick remarked that the statement seemed to favor the defendant; but that at any rate it was immaterial, | as what the court wanted to get at was the company's present condition, and not what somebody else thought or sald was its condition some months ago. MAKES A GENERAL DENIAL. When Woelman had conciuded reading the bill of complaint and the accompany- ing affidavits Attorney General MeCarthy: arose to read the answer and also the affidavits of Lewis Nixon, president, and A. C. Gary, secretary of the company. The answer in the main was a general denial of the sallent points of the bill of. complaint. It denied absolutely that there was any insolvency and asserted'that the company was able to meet its obligations. It was asserted that no arrangement had been made whereby bonds were to be is- sued on account of the Bethlehem plant; that the plant was not separately ac- quired; that it was included in the gen- eral purchase, and that the promoter was neither Nixon nor Schwab, but John W. Young; that the value paid was a mattér of judgment, and that good judgment had been exercised In the purchase. It was denied that any excessive prices had been paid, and the company denied that it had made any exaggerated statement as to its condition. The company denied absolutely any re- sponsibllity for the statements put out by. the Republic Trust Company. The state- ment given the New York Stock Exchange, it was asserted, was given in goed faith, while containing some errors that were afterward discovered and were immate- rial. It was denied, also, that the com- pany was under the control of Schwab or that there had been any understanding between Nixon and Schwab along the lines inferred in the bill of complaint. TEXT OF NIXON’S AFFIDAVIT. The affidavit of Nixon was a sweeping denial of the charges in the bill of com- plaint. He said he had absolutely nothing to do with the conception or carrying out of the formation of the United States Shipbuilding Company. The promoter, he said, was John W. Young. All that he (Nixon) did was to give Young an option on his own plant. Naturally, he said, he had been applied to for advice as to the advantdges of the consolidation, and whenever asked he had said that he be- lieved the combination would be a good thing and that it would increase earnings. He also gave it as his opinion, based on his experience of eighteen years in the shipbullding business, that the plants ab- sorbed, exclusive of the Bethlehem Works, were worth §20,000,000. Nixon said that he had absolutely noth- ing to do with the selection of those com- | Woolman brought out the | completed Woolman began | the | Corbin objected to this’, I | | anies, outside of the Crescent Comgany, hip- building Company. He denied that he, with other @rectors of the company or anybody else employed by the Trust Com- pany of the Republic, through or by their means or, agency, caused the circulation and publication of the statement put out by the Republic Company. He said he ever saw the circular until after it had been published. Nixon denied, also, that there had been any arrangement between Schwab and himself whereby Schwab should acquire the plant of the Bethlehem Company and thereafter sell it to the United States Shipfhilding Company at an enormous profit. On the contrary, he said, the facts were that Schwab had acquired the Beth- lehem plant long before the formation of the Shipbuilding Company. The affidavit of Gary was. to the effect that the United States Shipbuilding Com- pany was entjrely solvent. This closed the taking of testimony and adjournment was taken until to-morrow. ——————— NEW YORK JUDGE UPHOLDS THE RAILWAY DIRECTORS Refuses to Annul Lease of Metro- politan Line to the Inter- Urban Company. NEW YORK, June 22.—Justice Scott, in the Supreme Court to-day, dismissed the suit brought by Isidor Wormser to annul the lease of the Metropolitan: Street Raii- way Company to the Inter-Urban Street Railway Company.
