DEBTS PUT AT $500,000 Assignment or Assets of Original Concern by New Corporation Without Notice to Creditors Is 1 Declared to Be Illegal. V -To give all the creditors of the Mon arch Lumber Company of Oregon an opportunity to receive an equitable fhare of their ' claims, suit was filed In the Circuit Court yesterday to ap point a receiver, enjoin the sale of nny of the assets and to wind up the affairs of the corporation. The con cern is said to be insolvent, with as sets of $250,000 and an indebtedness of approximately $500,000. Xuggling of assets in a manner which bids fair to shut out all creditors but the Assets Realization Company of Chi cago, which holds a mortgage on the mill at Kenton, and also is in con trol of moat of the other assets as se curity for notes aggregating 3j0,000. Is alleged in the complaint, which was filed on behalf of the Wisconsin Log King & Timber Company by Attorneys fctapleton. Stephenson & Conley. The Monarch Lumber Company of Maine, a corporation organized by the Monarch Lumber Company of Oregon, in April. 1913, assumed the indebted ness and took over the assets of the Oregon concern, and has failed to pay ny of the obligations, and is included in the petition for an insolvency hear ing. In April of 1913. the complaint sets forth, the new company was organized. On July 1, 1913, notes aggregating $300,000 were given the Assets Realiza tion Company, of Chicago, and a mort gage on the sawmill at ICenton was put up as security. Jt Is asserted that a pretended con veyance was made of the property of the Oregon concern to Ira M. Cobe, by the Maine corporation, without the consent of the creditors. Thereafter the deed to real and personal prop erty of the Oregon company was turned over to Grayson M. P. Murphy. One of these men is the president, the other the vice-president of the Assets Reali zation Company. T. B. POTTER, 51, IS DEAD l'OR.MKR PORTLAND REALTY OPER ATOR IN CALIFORNIA. Bay Ocean Project Recalled and Long lllne Kollowa Breakdown Oc curring; In 1910. Thomas Benton Potter, 51 years old, well known in Portland as a large real ty operator a few years ago, died at Alameda, Cal., Saturday night. The funeral will be held there. Mr. Potter, with H. L. Chapin, formed the Potter-Chapin Realty Company in this cjty in 1907. The firm planned the Summer resort of Bay Ocean, which property they proceeded to put on the market. Later Mr Chapin passed out of the company and the firm continued finder the name of the T. B. Potter Realty Company. Operations at Bay Ocean were planned on an extensive scale and the project was a pretentious one. A fine hotel was built and streets paved. In June, 1910, Mr. Potter suffered a severe physical breakdown, from which he never recovered. He was taken to Kurope, where specialists were con sulted, but no relief was obtained. He retired to his home in California, where he has quietly spent the time since his return to this country. T.

Fifty members of the Portland Coun cil, Knights of Columbus, yesterday morning returned from Seattle, where they had gone Saturday to do initia tory work for the Seattle council. Seventy-five initiates were added to the roll of the Seattle Council on Satur lay. Every council in the state of "Washington was represented. Trre Portland Knights reported the Feattle council to be in excellent con ditions, and they also declared that their treatment while in Seattle was the best. Among those who made the Seat t ie trip were F. J. Lonergan, district deputy; Koger Sinnott, past state dep uty; J. W. Kelly, state advocate; Tom Iowd. recording secretary, and P. J. Hartley, grand knight. quizzing witnesses for and against the sewer project. In his letter Mr. Dickinson said: Allow mc-, for myself and on behalf of other taxpayers and citizens of Montavilla, whom I represented in the recent public in vestigation of alleged frauds in the construc tion of the Willow and Kast Sixty-third and East Eighty-second street branch of the Hast Stark street sewer system, hereby to extend to yon congratulations on the com plete vindication of your judgment and the skill in the selection of the type of wwer laid, and .the careful and painstaking man ner of its construction, as was revtaled by the testimony taken at the hearing in said investigation, and more particularly by th report of the committee of civil engineers appointed by the Portland branch of the American Society of Civil Engineer to as sist you in this investigation. It gives me great pleasure to realize that at last, after years of effort, Montavilla has a good sewer system. The report of t'te regular committee is strongly fortified, and even augmented by the separate report of G. A. Kyle, the eminent civil engineer whom you appointed at the request of representa tives of the Montavilla people. As a citizen of Portland, I consider tne result of this Investigation not only a vindi cation of the skill and ability of the sewer and engineering department of the city, but lso a successful test of the commission form of government which we are trying out in Portland ; also of the honesty and effi ciency of the present city ofUcials. POOL HALL LAW COMING MKAS IRE BEIG DRAWN BY LTV CITY ATTORN EV. Proposed Ordinance Requires Applica tions and Posted Notices in Location Sought. Residence communities in Portland will have the opportunity to prevent the establishment of pool halls and card playing in their district, if the Bige low ordinance, which is now being pre pared by City Attorney La Roche, is passed by the City Commission. One of the important leatures of the ordinance will be a requirement that applications for licenses to open pool nails or for. card-playing must be posted by notice for 10 days prior to action by the Council. The notice is to be posted conspicu ously on he premises which are to be used for a pool hall, so that the people there may have ample opportunity to remonstrate against the granting of such a. license. Either card or pool licenses are rev ocable upon- complaint of citizens or violation of the ordinance, provided the provocation be sutticient. The closing hour for pool and card halls is to be set at 12 o'clock instead of 1 o'clock, as it now is. No minors will be allowed in pool rooms. A form of application for the opening of a pool hall will be required, so that the character of the applicant im-y be checked and reported to the Council. The agreement of the Council, made informally, to license . public card games, is intended only as a regulatory measure, the license fee being nominal. The demand for the new ordinance. according to W. H. Warren, secretary to the Mayor, resulted from conditions that followed the closing of the saloons, PERSOIMAl- MENTION.
