Receiver Smith Restrained From Interfering With Local Industry. e o L | As the result of an elaborate discussion in the chambers of United States Circuit Judge Morrow an order was promulgated | vester: afirming the appointment of | James Smith Jr., as receiver of the Union !Iron Works in the suit of Roland R. Conklin and others against the United | States Shipbuilding Company and others. | The order prevents the recelver from In- | terfering with the Union Iron Works | Company, which has a lease of the works | from the United States Shipbuilding | Company. The order was drawn by E. 8. | Pillsbury, representing the Unlon Iron | Works Company, and gives that corpora- | tion all that it demanded and was enti-| ttled to. Mr. Pillsbury, in the course of his re- marks before Judge Morrow, said that he had framed the order in accordance with Judge Beatty's decision and to allow the corporation to borrow money on its as-;| sets. He sald that the receiver was not pared to furnish the money and that the banks in this city desired to have the local status established before they would | be willing to advance any money to the Union lron Works people. % NOT PERMITTED TO BORROW. Mountford Wilson sald that it had been | shown at the hearing’ that the Teceiver was not permitted to borrow money in| | this jurisdiction. The banks wanted to | | be able to rely upon the accounts collect- able and the stock of goods on hand as that the Union on and con- their security, knowing Iron Works will have pos trol of those and other accounts when they come in. | _Mr. Pilisbury sald that the Bath Iron| Works was in exactly the same condi- | tion as the Union Iron Works and he had, | | therefore, in the order presented to Judge | | Morrow, followed the exact language of | Judge Putnam in that case, except with | regard to two or three matters stated by | Judge Beatty in his decision. Curtis H. Lindley informed | that the order as prepared by Mr. Pills- | | bury had eliminated the profits of the general business and Mr. Pillsbury replied | that it had been shown by the testimony | the court | that there would be no profits until the present contracts were completed. “In the meantime,” continued Mr. *flisbury, *“‘the Union Iron Works has to borrow large amounts of money to keep going. The testimony has not shown | that there will be any profits for a year or more. I am afraild that if an account- | ing should be ordered now it would in- Ject complication into the situation. It might affect the financial standing of | the Union Iron Works. I understand | that the banks are ready to advance | money on the condition ihat the status | Quo be maintained." H | A RESPECTABLE NAME. Mr. Lindley said of the Union Iron | Works Company, quoting the words of Judge Beatty: “It has a respectable | | name, but its condition is that of genteel poverty.’ Mr. Lindley added: “Its existence is | merely perfunctory, yet it is engaged in the manufacturing business, buflding ali classes of ships and other machinery, and | the most profitable of its work s tnat with which the Government has no cun- cern. If there was any beneficial iuterest | resting in the Union Iron Works as i corporate entity, the receiver is the sole owner of all the stock of the company ara should be permitted, in his ca of stockholder, to control its manag ment, but under the order presentel by Mr, Pillsbury there Is no one to whom | the Union Iron Works Company can ac- | count for the profits, and unless the re- | ceiver is recognized, the business may be | wrecked in the interest of the parties who wrecked the United States Shipbufld- ing Company." | Judge Morrow's order filed yesterday | afternoon ratifies the appointment of Re- ceiver James Smith Jr. and goes on to say that the present application for the deliv- ery to the receiver of possession of the | land, plant, buildings, machinery, tools | and personal property leased to the Union Iron Works by the United States Ship- | | building Company for the term of one | year, expiring on August 11, 1903, is denied | on account of pending contracts on war | vessels in the United Btates. The order allows the works to retain the property until the completion of the vessels now under construction. MAY NOT TRANSFER. It is further ordered that the receiver | do not transfer or cause to be transferred | into lis own name any shares of the | capital stock of the Unlon Iron Works | until further order of the court, and he | is restrained from transferring upon the | books of the Union Iron Works any | shares of its capital stock standing in the name of the United States Shipbullding Company, or in the name of any person | holding the same in trust for that com- | | pany. He is also restrained from voting | the stock. The order goes on to say: Nothing herein contained shall be held to | impair the title or possession by, or of, the Union Iron Works of its present cash, bills or agcounts recelvable, materials now on hand | . or which may hereafter be ordered | ved for completion of contracts, or en- or amounts due, or to come due on such existing contracts, or to give the recelver control of them or any right or | title thereto: all of which assets shall be held as the individual property of the Union Iron Works, subject to the rights, llens, equitles { and interests of the creditors of the corpora- | tion. Nor shall anything in this order con- | talned molest or interfere with the business operations of the Union Iron Works as the same are now being conducted CONTROLS ITS PROPERTY. The order authorizes the Union Iron Works to borrow from time to time such moneys as it may require in the conduct of its business, and to pledge or assign the personal property In its possession to the lender of such moneys and the mon- eys due to it on contracts. The Union Iron Works may make new contracts and take new orders for work. Either party or the recelver, or any party directly in- terested in the property or having liens thereon “may from time to time apply to this court for modification of this order and decree, or for orders or decrees sup- plemental hereto or amendatory hereot.” — e REPORT SHOWS LARGE RECEIPTS FOR PERMITS Cashier Donahue Files Monthly Re- port for October With Board of Works.

Two arrests were made. The trouble was between negroes and whites and was fast and lasted. Not only were in the fracas, but women took a hand and fought with all the fe- rocity ‘of their male companions. When the trouble ceased the restaurant was in a sorry condition. More than $100 damage had been done. There were about forty people in the house when a colored man entered and seated himself at a table beside a white man. The white man resented this and | was sustained by other Caucasians. Then several colored men and women who were seated by themselves in the rear of arose and the fight was on. About twenty people who did not care to participate made for the street, while the others remained and took a hand in the hostilities. Coffee cups, cat- sup bottles and fists were the principal The women were not daunted by the sight of blood and sailed into the fight with vigor. Most of them came out badly scratched and bleeding. During the pro- gress of the melee every table in the place was upset and nearly every dish and article of crockery broken. Two or three mirrors were shattered and both glass doors were smashed. Police Officer Connor heard the racket and hastened to the scene. Before he ar- rived nearly all who were able had taken flight, but he succeeded in arresting Ben- jamin Wilson and Clarence Estelle and charged them with disturbing the peace. Both had been badly battered. —_— e CHONG WO’S CREDITORS AFTER HIS PROPERTY | He Has Gone:na a'Pajaru Justice Has His Estate in Charge. Creditors of Chong Wo, a Chinese fruit packer and storekeeper of Pajaro, in Mon- terey County, field a petition yesterday in the United States District Court asking that he be declared an involuntary bank- rupt. They allege that he owes more than $15,000, and that on October 29 he committed an act of insolvency by suf- fering F. J. Bettencourt, George Cleveland and other creditors to obtain a preference over other of his creditors by means of attachment suits on his property. Chong Wo has left the country and his propert; is in the custody of a Justice of the Peace in Pajaro. As the stock is of a perishable nature the petitioning creditors ask that United States Marshal John H. Shine be placed in charge. The latter petition has been taken under | | advizement. —_— e Adulterated Imports Barred. Acting Customs Collector William B. Hamilton was notified yesterday by the Secretary of the Treasury that the act providing for the investigation of adul- | { terated food and drugs has been amended. Under this provision the Secretary of the | Treasury has authority upon request from the Secretary of Agriculture to direct drawing by officers of the customs of sampleg at any custom-house from orig- kages of imported food products, drugs and liquors, and to refuse to deliver | to the consignee any such commodities as ! the Secretary of Agricuiture may report to him as found, upon analysis, to be dan- gerous to health or which are forbidden | to be sold or which are restricted in sale in the countries in which they are made or from which they are exported, which shall be falsely labeled in any spect in regard to the place of manufac- ture or the contents of the package. or LT R Feld Has No Attorney. Joseph Feld, the policeman who fatally | shot his father-in-law, Fritz Dirking, at 11 Fair avenue on Monday night, ‘ap- peared. before Police Judge Fritz yester- day and was instructed as to his rights on the charge of murder. When asked if he had an attorney Feld replied in the nega- tive. The Judge continued the case for a week and meantime the Coroner’s inquest will be held. Detective Ed Gibson will swear to the complaint to-day. called yesterday that during a soldlers’ | riot at the Presidio about two years ago Feld was struck on the head with a club or a cobblestone and was lald up for some | time. e ———— To appreciate life comfort is an im- portant thing.

CARMEN WL AGGEPT RULING Decision of Arbitration Board Settles All Differences. Extra Money Due Employes to Be Paid Fromptly by Company. o DR General satisfaction exists among the members of the Carmen’s Union over the | decision handed down by the board of | arbitration in the case concerning the aif- ferences of the carmen with the United | Rallroads. Although the men were not | awarded all that they appealed for, Presi- | dent Cornelius stated yesterday that they | would abide strictly by the findhigs of the | arbitrators. { Yesterday morning’s dispatches convey- | ing the news that the board of arbitra- | I\mn had granted an advance of 10 per cent in the pay of men who had been in the employ of the company for two ! years and an increase of 5 per cent to those who have served less than that perfod were read eagerly by the men, and | espectally by those who, under an agree- ment made at the beginning of the arbi- tration, will receive extra pay from May 1, the date upon which the advance is effective, Under this ruling a large num- ber will receive sums ranging from $20 | to $40, which the company will pay to | them at the end of the present month. The demand of the men was for an advance in pay of 33% per cent, but they will receive but 10 per cent or about 2 cents additional on each trip, which, ever, will mean something like §: day for those who have been in the ser- | vice of the company for more than two | years and $262% for those who have | served a shorter period. No decrease in the hours is granted by the arbitrators, | but in the extra allowance of pay the | | conductors and gripmen feel that they | have galned at least one important point |and the more desirable one of the two { for which they contended. The decision of the board is effective until May 1 next | vear, and in the meantime there is little likelihood of any further trouble. Discussing the decision yesterday, Pres- { ident Arthur Holland and Genéral Coun- {sel Tirev L. Ford of the United Rail- roads stated that the press dispatches | were simply a repetition of the advices | the company had received, and they add- | ed that while the advance in wages would | materially add to the company's expenses | | and possibly lead to some retrenchment | | the company will abide by the decision | and readjust its pay schedule as soon as | | possible. —_—e————— A Visit to San Francisco Without seeing the Diamond Palace | would be like visiting Europe without | seeing Paris.
