RECEIVERS TAKE
BIG FLOUR MILLS
Pillsbury-Washburn Company
Needs to Be Reorganized.
BAD MANAGEMENT ALLEGED
Ohm $9,000,000 and lias $13,
000.000 Assets Friendly Pro
ceedings Are Taken by
Stockholders.
MINXBAPOU9, Aug. 8. Incident to a
reorganization certain of the Btockhold
er of the Pillsbury-Washburn Flour
Milling Company today petitioned the
Federal District Court for the appoint
ment of receiver. Whatever action Is
taken by the court, the business will be
continued.
The petition was granted, the court
naming C. S. Plllsbury, son of the late
Charles A. Plllsbury; A. C. Lering. head
of the North-Western Consolidated Mill
ing Company, and A. C. Cobb, an at
torney. The petitioners were the North
Western National Bank, the First Na
tional, the Swedish-American National, of
Minneapolis, and the Second National, of
St. Paul, together with J. S. Plllsbury.
There will be no Interruption to business
of the company pending reorganization.
The indebtedness of the defendant com
pany is eet at more than fc.000.Xn. with
out security. The book valu; of the com
pany'! property exceeds IIJ.OOO.OOO. The
total secured indebtednr-fn covered by de
benture bonds, is l.o.0.. or a total in
debtedness of J!.oOrt.'. IJquid assets are
estimated at J3.000.W, to pay o.(W0.000 un
secured debts.
The company has S09.K of its products
stored in 21 states, outulde of .Minnesota.
Proceeding Is Friendly.
After naming the receivers the court
fixed their Joint bond at J.ViV) and an
nounced that five days would b? allowed
for them to file it. That the petition for
a receivership was on a friendly basis Is
evidenced by the apparance of J. S.
Plllsbury as one of the pMltioners and
the fact that the company consented
to the a'-tion without opposition. This
may he due to a necessity for a chance
of management which was broadly Inti
mated in the petition.
The application for receiver has created
surprise, but It is not expected to cause
any flurry In milling or nnaneial circles.
The milling Interests in Minneapolis have
enjoyed an exceptionally good year and
the conditions that affertd the PIllFbury
Washburn Company have been peculiar
to that organization. While it is true
that the petition for the receiver cited
bad management as one of the main rea
sons, no announcement is yet made re
garding the status of Henry U. Uttle.
Mr. LJttle succeeded to the managership
upon the death of C. A. Plllsbury. but
the officers of the company and receivers
as well, state positively that at this time
no action regarding Mr. Little's status
has been taken.
As a matter of course, it Is well un
derstood bv all business men that a
concern so largely engaged in a manu
facturing enterprise must have at all
times a large amount of outstanding
obligations, the proceeds of which fur
nish the working capital by which Its
business Is carried on. It Is true at
this time, as It always has been true
In connection with thl company, and
its predecessors, that this debt is
widely scattered throughout the coun
try veiy many of its obligations hav
ing been placed by brokers in the Fast
and West. So far as Minneapolis banks
are concerned, they hold not to exceed
$350,000 of the debte. distributed on'a
basis not materially different from a
pro rata of their capital.
Be Just lo All Interests.
The company, therefore, finds Itself
confronted with a situation which calls
for negotiation with an Immense num
ber of creditors, with the added dif
ficulty that the company is a British
corporation, all of Its directors living
In Great Britain and only its manag
ing officers or agents being located
here: that part of the tock ,1s held
abroad and part Is held in this country,
so that it seems that some method of
procedure, which brings all parties
scattered creditors, stockholders and
all other persons interested Into one
body, where everybody's rights may
be folly and fairly determined, is In
the best interests of all concerned.
Mills to Continue Running.
' With this In view, upon a petition
filed today, the receivers have been ap
pointed with full power to operate the
company's manufacturing plants and
with confident expectation that this ex
pedient will be found only temporary
and that ample property, over and
above all debts, will be ultimately left
for the holders of share. It Is pro
posed to operate the mills under re
ceivers and In charge of the receivers,
so that labor interests will not be seri
ouslv affected at this time and this is
regarded as promising good results, in
view of the very satisfactory condition
everywhere of the milling and grain
busiriess. no other company engaged In
similar lines here being In any way
Involved.
Who Receivers Are.
Albert C. Lorlng. the president of the
Northwestern Consolidated Milling
company, who has for many years been
Identified with the milling Interests of
Minneapolis and who brings to the re
ceivership a ripe experience and con
servative, careful business methods,
which undoubtedly will prove of great
value In the administration of the es
tate: Charles Plllsbury. son of the late
Charles A. Plllsbury. who Is a share
holder in the company, but has never
in any way been connected either as a
director or managing agent or other
wise with the administi atlon of Its
affairs, and Albert C. Cobb, of the firm
of Cobb & Wheelwright, lawyer of this
city, are the receivers named by the
court.
I.atl Dividend Was Postponed.
NEW YORK. Aug. 8. George A. Sea
brlskle. local agent for the Pillsbury
Washburn Mills Co.. said today that he
had understood that the company was
considering a reorganization and that
the appointment of temporary receiv
ers was expected. He satd that last
May the company's financial condition
wan such that the directors postponed
action of declaring a dividend on the
stock.
Very Small Margin of Profit.
CHICAGO. Aug. 8. The capitalization of
the Plllebury-Washburn Company, for
which a receiver was appointed today. Is
ti.uw.Ouu. divided equally between the pre
ferred and the common stock. It has also
outstanding M.lW.OvO in bends. The last
statement of the company Issued four
months ago shows net earnings of SC42.tM)
Against this were bond interest charges
of $2o0.000. a dividend on preferred stock
of J177.000 and other charges of J200.000.
leaving a balance of only J15.000.
The company was founded by C. A.
Pillsbury, who was later Joined by ex
Senator Washburn. The stock is now
owned by English capitalists, but the
mills, which have a capacity of 30,000 bar
rels a day. are operated by Americans.
WEDS HIS OWN DAUGHTER
Strange Fatality In German Emi
grant's Life.
BERLIN. Aug. 8. (Special.) For
having married his own daughter,
Thomas Wolland. a German-American,
has been arrested In Bromberg in the
Prussian province of Posen.
The details as far as known are very
peculiar. Thirty years ago, Thomas
Wolland, having failed In business here,
emigrated to the United States to make
his fortune, rie left behind his wife
and a daughter one year old. Years
passed and nothing was ever heard
from Wolland. His wife thought him
dead and when ten years after his de
parture she wanted to marry, she ap
plied to the courts, that after the usual
formalities declared Thomas Wolland
legally dead.
Krau Wolland then married and a few
years later her daughter by her first
marriage emigrated to America. By a
peculir coincidence the girl, who had
taken her step-father's name, met her
father, who had taken another name
soon after his arrival in the United
States. In spite of the difference in
age the two fell in love and married
and three children were born to them.
Last year the couple wltn their chil
dren returned to their homj in Posen,
where they made the awful discovery
that they were father and daughter.
. Wolland himself reported the affair
to the police and was immediately ar
rested. The police of Bromberg are
now Investigating the affair and ex
pect to be able to prove that Wolland,
when he married his daughter, was
aware of their relationship.
DANCING IS MORIBUND
French Master Thinks Americans
Are Largely Responsible.
PARIS. Aug. 8. (Special.) The
French delegates for the International
Congress of Dancing Masters, to be
hdd this Summer in Berlin, have Just
been selected. They will be headed
by Monsieur C. I-efort. first dancing
master ot the public schools of Paris.
'The French arc supposed to be a
dancing rwtion." said Monsieur Lefort
this morning, "but even in Franco the
dance is dying out. The younger gen
eration does not , take the art of
dancing seriously. They seem to look
upon It as an amusement or mere phy
sical exercise, and many young men
and women admirably fitted to carry
on this art. give their attention to
music, painting or literature.
"Another thing is that the social
life Is changing. The young men go
In for sport. The girls play bridge.
The International Congress will try
and devise gome plan for making
dancing- as popular an art as It used
to he "i years ago.
"I am afraid that you Americans,
with your cake walks and other romp
ing and vulgar dances, are largely re
sponsible for tho decay of the art. I
shall be Interested In hearing what
your delegates have to say."
CLOSE LIVES TOGETHER
Aged French Sculptor and His Wife
Commit Suicide.
PARIS. Aug. 8. (Special.) An aged
sculptor, M. Paul Lefevre, who In his
earlier days had achieved a certain
amount of success, has Just committed
suicli in company with his wife. He
was 70 years of age, and his wife was
four years younger. The couple had been
living quite retired on a. small Income for
the last f "w years, and 'as they were
both fond of books they spent most of
their time In reading. Latterly both of
them suffered from illness, and they
frequently spoke of their Intention to put
an end to their lives. To add to their
troubles, M. Lefevre was induced some
time ago to speoulate on the Stock Ex
change, and lost various sums of money.
The pair wrote letters to various friends
and a doctor to tell them that they in
tended to commit suicide, and would be
dead before any of these missives would
be received. At the same time they asked
to be buried In a vault In the cemetery,
which they had purchased. The doctor
was the first to hasten to their house
on receiving his letter, but M. Lefevre
was already dead from the effects of
coal gas. His wife was still breathing,
but she expired eoon afterwards.
LEMOINE LOSES HIS WIFE
French Court Gives "Diamond
maker's" Spouse Divorce.
PARTS, Aug. 8. (Special.) Lemolne,
"the diamond-maker." if he reads the
papers, will learn that he is a divorced
man. The decree was issued with light
ning rapidity, qiBte unusual in French
courts, and Lemolne has only himself to
blame,' as he failed to answer any of the
summonses. Mme. Lemolne presented
her petition for a divorce on June 19.
Seven days later she was summoned to
the office of the Judge, who was to try
to reconcile her to her husband, who. of
course, failed to appear. The same thing
happened on July 2. and a few weeks
later the Court was empowered to act,
and granted the decree.
Mme. Lemolne was married to the diamond-maker
on December 28. 1905.
Previous to the ceremony a formal mar
riage contract had been signed, leaving
her the full possession of her own property.
NO SALE F0R DIAMONDS
Hard Times In America Causes Big
Slump in Prices.
LONDON, Aug. 8. (Special.) It seems
that high class diamonds are now a
drug on the market. Speaking of the
condition of the trade, the chairman of
Hardebeck & Bornhardt, manufacturing
Jewelers, at a meeting of the sharehold
ers, said they little thought that the
American crisis would have produced
such a disastrous stagnation. Previously
the American demand for diamonds
forced stones up to a very high price.
When the demand ceased an exceedingly
overstocked market resulted. The scare
as to manufactured diamonds, also, bad
not been without its effect.
Further, the diamond trade had seen a
great change In fashions; there was now
no demand for higher-priced diamonds,
although be could not believe this class
of trade was dead altogether.

MEN GO TO WORK
Canadian Officials Say Many
Applications for Jobs ,
Are Received.
FIRST VIOLENCE REPORTED
Strike Sympathiser Clubs Special
Policeman at Winnipeg Men '
Still Confident or Winning.
Fight to a Finish.
WINNIPEG. Aug. 8. Fifty more non
union workmen were taken to the Win
nipeg shops of the Canadian Pacific Rail
way this morning and put to work. The
company has perfected arrangements for
housing and feeding 1000 men in the
yards. A special policeman on duty In
the yards was brutally assaulted by an
unknown man with a club last night. A
number o Winnipeg strikers have been
rebuked by their executive officers for
publicly Jibing at a workman who had
refused to Join In the strike. They had
carried a banner bearing the word
"Scab" and had followed the man home.
The company says It has received many
applications from new men for work in
shops and the officers claim the strike
will result In nothing: more serious than
temporary Inconvenience.
Fight to Finish.
The men, on the other hand, profess
confidence of success. li is accepted as
a fact In business circles that It will be
a fight to a finish. The company Is
maintaining a special force of policemen
and the men are picketing the system at
all important points. Many officials and
clerks in the Winnipeg general offices are
out In the yards clad In overalls doing
some of the work of the strikers. One of
the men who walked out Thursday stated
that the foremen were placed between
two fires and were simply being forced
to quit work. They received an ulti
matum warning them of the consequence
of their refusing to strike and the com
pany has Insisted that they take posi
tions as foremen over nonunion labor
at various points along the line and this
they refused to do. Foremen working
tinder an existing agreement that men
earning $l-'o per month could not be
forced out, are still at their duties. All
have been informed that in the future
there would be no promotions from the
ranks and that all appointments would
be made from technical schools and that
foremen who went out would not be
taken back.
Many Apply for Work.
The officials 'of the railway say they
are besieged by unskilled men seeking
for work, but they are not the kind
wanted. The company is relying prin
cipally on a large contingent of British
machinists and boilermakers expected
here at the end of next week. A few
more men were put at work today. All of
the foremen were woklng late Into last
night. The general opinion at the com
pany's headquarters is that the strike Is
already practically defeated. It is said
that the company will not be too anxious
to give employment to the men who have
deserted It. Many of those now striking
were making as high as S100 a month
and even more, while the strike pay
amounts to $5 per weak for unmarried
and J8 for married men. The company
set 40 Japanese at work at the
Lethbridge works. There are 700 dis
abled cars In the yards In Western Can
ada. Several locomotives are ' being as
sisted by auxiliaries. One express train
had to drop one express car because the
engine power was insufficient.
May Quit Freight Sheds.
A special from Fort William says: A
rumor that Canadian Pacific freight shed
employes may go on a strike Is persist
ent, though it Is not anticipated there
will be any immediate action as there is
no rush of freight business. If they do
go out It will in all probability be trouble
entirely separate from the mechanics'
strike and will be for a straight increase
In pay. Truckers are at present getting
for day work 17H cents per hour and
for night work 20 cents.
Strike on Lake Ore Docks.
- SUPERIOR. Wis., Aug. 8. The Great
Northern ore docks are tied up by a
strike among the laborers employed
In unloading cars and loading boats.
Yesterday 1200 men quit on being re
fused in Increase of wages of 25 cents
a day. Last night 25 of the night crew
were refused an Increase and struck. If
the strike is successful, a general tie
up in the ore business for the Great
Northern will result.
Boycotts Stevedores' Cnlon.
SAN FRANCISCO. Aug. 8. The Char
geurs Reunls Steamship Company, a
French line, has boycotted the local
Stevedores' union. When the Admiral
Magon of that line arrfved In port to
day and docked, the company's agents
refused to employ any union stevedores
and put. 100 non-union men at work
unloading the vessel. It is feared that
the trouble will extent to other steam
er lines.
ENGLISH CHURCH UNION
Symptoms of "Getting Together"
Are Noticeable.
LONDON. Aug. 8. (Special.) Among
the various Important topics which are
being deliberated upon by the Lambeth
Conference Committee, none excites great
er public Interest than the subject of union
among the churches. Recently there have
been not a lew signmcani signs ui m
growing trend of feeling towards at least
a greater degree of inter-communion, and
the findings of the conference on the
whole question of the possibilities of co
operation, if not actual union, will be
eagerly awaited. The tendency Is not
confined to this country, nor to the Angli
can Church. In Australia considerable
progress has already been made towards
uniting the Anglican and Presbyterian
bodies, and the Archbisnop of Melbourne
appears to think that the time is not far
distant when the Joining of forces will be
an accomplished fact.
The Moderator of the Church of Scot
land, also has recently addressed an ap
peal to the English bishops. Judging
from the opinions that have been ex
pressed In the general assembly. It Is
doubtful If the majority of the modera
tor's colleagues are in sympathy with him.
but his action seems to Indicate that more
liberal views are gaining ground in the
Scottish establishment. It Is regarded as
an Indication of the importance which the
bishops attach to the subject that the
committee on "Reunion and Inter-Communion"
is the largest of the series.
There will be disappointment if the con
ference fails to make some practical sug-

AT T
SERIOUS CHARGES AGAINST
STEAMSHIP COMPANY.
EngHli Line to South America Said
to Be In Bad Standing With
Travelers.
LONDON, Aug. S.-(Spec!al.)-9ome
astonishing statements have been pub
lished here about the number of persons
on the western seaboard of South Amer
ica who live by thieving. These state
ments seem to have some bearing on a
complaint of a gentleman who made a
tour along that coast early this year,
and had his luggage rifled In the course
of a voyage from Callao to Panama on
one of the ships of the Pacific Steam
Navigation Company. He left his luggage
for safe custody at the company's office
at Callao transferred it personally to
the ship a few days later, and locked it
up In his cabin, keeping the key himself.
On opening one of his trunks a day
later he found that It had been ransacked
and a quantity of clothing extracted, the
lid of the trunk having been forced open
without breaking the lock.
- He was satisfied from the circumstances
that the robbery must have taken place
during the time his luggage was In the
office at Callao. but the result of cor
respondence with the company in London
was that they declined to accept any re
sponsibility, and apparently they did not
even think it necessary to express any
regret. There were several other rob
beries on the -ship during the voyage.
The traveller who relates the foregoing
experience criticises the British Steam
Navigation Company's local service in
other respects: and his observations are
worthy of attention, both by the public
and the company, because he also says
the German lines are competing very
keenly for the trade, and capturing a
great deal of it. and that people who
know thv. ropes always recommend
travelers to choose the German lines.
On the last night of the voyage above
mentioned the passengers held an In
dignation meeting to protest against the
inferior quality of the food, and the
dirtiness and insolence of the stewards.
HUNT FOR SACRED DRAGON
JAPANESE PEASANTS VICTIMS
OF QUEER SUPERSTITION.
Pilgrims by Thousands Camp Near
Bamboo Jungle That Is Beast's
Alleged- Lair.
TOKIO, Aug. 8. (Special.) "Dragon
hunting" has become the craze of thou
sands of peasants . in the province of
Sasebo. where there is a vast unexplored
bamboo Jungle said to be inhabited by
a sacred dragon. The peasants are try
ing to lure and ensnare the dragon with
offerings of rice and other food, so that
he may work miracles In fulfilment of a
curious rumor that has been spread
abroad about his powers.
Last February there was a fall of "dark
colored rain" which "shook the earth to
Its foundations." According to the peas
ants' story the dragon appeared towards
nightfall and ascended to the clouds.
As soon as he had disappeared the rain
stopped.
Sadajiro Shinokl, who owns the jungle,
declares that that night he had a sacred
tfream In which the dragon appeared to
him. announcing that he had succeeded
In ascending into the heavens, and that
the jungle he had been living In would
henceforth be sanctified and would be en
dowed with healing virtue for all diseases.
This etory brought thousands of pil
grims to the Jungle, invalids who came
in order to get cured, and who contributed
to the offertory box which Shinokl had
thougthfully provided. The rumor was
then spread that the dragon had reap
peared, which brought more pilgrims than
ever. They tried all sorts of de.vlc.es
whereby the dragon might be caught and
made to work many miracles. .
Shinokl Is suspected by the police of
having Invented the whole- story as a
means of collecting money, but he has,
with apparent sincerity, declared that he
will hand over all the contributions to
charitable object.
