JWA5T RECEIVERS REMOVED
J. K. Cooper Allege Management of Offioer
& Pueey Estate ii Too Expensive.
OFFICIALS FILE A GENERAL DENIAL
Assert that Deals Pending; Wosli
Render Change Thin Time In
wise Dividend from Estate
' of Thomas Officer.
A petition asking for the removal of I
F. Murphy and John Bereshelm as re
ceivers of the Officer Pusey bank waa
filed yesterday In the district court by J.
K. Cooper and others, claiming to represent
a majority of the bank's creditors. The
petition also asks . that tho creditors ba
permitted to name some one person to act
ss receiver to act In winding up the estate
of the bank. t
In aupport ot tho application It Is al
leged that tho present expense of the ad
ministration of the estate Is greater than
Justified by the amount of business done,
that' L. F. Murphy was bookkeeper and con
fidential clerk of .the banking firm of Offi
cer ft Pusey for many years prior to the
failure and that Receiver Bereshelm is
head ot a large banking Institution, to the
affairs of which he devotes bis entire time.
It Is further asserted that Receivers
Murphy and Bereshelm were not appointed
at the reques. of or with the knowledge
ot the creditors of the bank, but at the
Instigation and suggestion of Charles T.
Officer, wbo was administrator ol tke estate
of his father, Thomas Offlcef, the senior
member of the defunct banking firm. It la
claimed that the creditors have the right
to select the receiver. " "
Attorneys for Mr. Cooper state that this
action Is not intended in any way as a
personal attack on the receivers or with the
Intention of criticising their actions, but
that the creditors .feel that the time has
come when cne receiver can be dispensed
with and the business of closing the estate
done by one man.
Receivers File Answer,
As soon as copies of the petition were
fled on the receivers they filed their an
swers in order that a speedy hearing might
be had before the. court. They deny that
Mr. Cooper represents a majority of the
creditors or anybody but himself and hia
lawyers. While admitting that Receiver
Murphy was for many years bookkeeper In
the t-mploy ot Officer & Pusey, they deny
that he was a "confidential clerk" and deny
also that their appointment, waa suggested
and brought about by Charlea T. Officer.
It is also denied that Receiver Bereshelm
devotes his entire time to the affairs ot his
bank.
They . defend . their administration as
economical and wise and allege' that the
large attorneys' fees they have been com
pelled to pay have been to a. great ex
tent necessitated by the unwise and Im
provident litigation Instituted by the cred
itors. Including the applicant In the suit at
bar. : ,. ; ' .
They state that since their, appointment
they have collected t336.71L?3 and dis
bursed I309,SrtTt)5, leaving .r balance of 27,
399.68 on ba"mt, that finder "others of the
court, they have paid preferred claims
amounting to $254,451.73, which has de
creased the Indebtedness to $308,294.02.
They state further that there are now
pending four sales ot property aggregating
$60,000 and settlements of other claims
mounting to $30,000 and that they proposed
to shortly declare a dividend of 5 per cent.
That the reoelvers have yet $60,000 worth
of property to dispose ot comes as a great
surprise to the creditors, as If this Is the
case there ought to be sufficient means to
pay a dividend' ot nearly 15 per cent In
place of 5 per cent.
O fllcer Estate Pays Dividends.
They call attention to the fact that eo
far during eighteen months of the receiver
ship they have received no compensation
except $1,804, which has been paid to Re
ceiver Murphy. It is claimed In the answer
that Receiver Murphy; by reason of his
famllltarlty with the books ot the bank and
his acquaintance with the creditors has
been peculiarly qualified o manage the de
tails of the receivership and has given to
It his entire time, while Receiver Beres
helm has given his counsel. Judgment and
time to the handling of Its affairs, collec
tion of its claims and disposition of Its
assets.
In conclusion the receivers say they have
no personal desire to continue the ardu
ous labors of the trust, but they aver that
a change of receivers at this time would
be unwise, expensive and against the In
terests of the persons Interested and that
there Is no warrant, cause or reason for
the application of Mr. Cooper being filed
and ask that It be dismissed.
Judge Wheeler Is expected to hear the
application this afternoon.
J. J. Stewart, administrator of the estate
of Thomas Officer, deceased, senior member
of the defunct banking firm of Officer
Pusey, filed his first report yesterday and
secured an order of court authorizing him
to pay a dividend of 5 per cent to ths
creditors of the bank.
Tha claims against the bank originally
amounted to $631,341.99. Preferred claims
to the amount of $58,843.49 were allowed
and paid In full, leaving a balance of $577,
600.70, upon vhlcb. two dividends amount
ing to 45 per cent have been paid.
Administrator Stewart la recommending
the payment of this dividend saya in his
report that although the assets of Officer
ft Pusey are not entirely exhausted, there
Is no question but that they will be in
sufficient, and further that he believes that
after both estates have been exhausted.
that Thomas Officer will be Insolvent and
that therefore In his opinion It would
be perfectly safs to distribute now the
funds In his hands.
Vndsr the ruTlag of Judge Macy all cred
Itors who filed their claims against the
receivers ot the banking firm are entitled
to participate In the distribution of the as
sets ot the Officer estate, although thsy
may not have filed their claims also against
the estate.

PROSPECTS GOOD 0R A REHEARING
State Gnnrdsmea Prnetlee on Tnrarets
at Cedar Rapids Letter Carriers
and Postnl Clerks In Conven
tion at Mnrshnlltowa.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
DES MOINES, May 29.' (Special.) Jus
tice Weaver ot the supreme court today
filed a dissenting opinion in connection
with the court'a decision affirming the case
of the Bute against Sarah Kubn from
Keokuk county. Mrs. Kubn is serving a
life sentence for the murder of her hus
band. The chief question in the case was
whether the evidence sustained the con
viction. In the court'a decision, written
by Justice Waterman, It is held that the
evidence was conclusive of guilt.. Justice
Weaver takes exactly the opposite view.
Mrs. Kuhb waa 19 when she married Charles
Kubn, a lame shoemaker, in the town ot
Delta, a man twenty-four years older than
she was.- They lived unhappily and one
day in September, 1900, they drove to What
cheer on an errand. They bought sausage
and beer, which they consumed on the way
home. Kuhn was taken sick and died and
strychnine was found In the beer. The
evidence on which Mrs. Kuhn wss con
victed waa entirely circumstantial. The
majority of the court holds that It Is suf
ficient to ' warrant the conviction. The
fact that the dissenting opinion by Weaver,
which presents the case very strongly for
the defendant, will likely lead to a re
hearing ot the case.

Teamsters' Strike Threatens to Tnra
Ont Forty Thonaand
Employes.
CHICAGO, May 29. If the four great
packing concerns at the Union Stock yards
do not yield to the demands ot the strik
ing teamsters within a short time It may
result In a general atoppage of 40,000 em
ployes at the yards. Already oeveral hun
dred peraons have quit. The situation Is
becoming so involved that It apparently
will be impossible for the union men to
remain at work much longer without violat
ing the rules ot the Chicago. Federation
ot Labor, under which they bold charters.
A strike among the boet butcbera or hog
butchera or. any other set ot men upon
whom hundreds of others are dependent,
would cause - a complete tleup In every
branch. This Is said to be not unlikely
because in many instances union men have
been asked to do the work ot the strikers
and have been discharged for refusing. Fur
thermore, union men are forbidden to han
dle goods that have been prepared by non
union labor and It la said to be nearly
Impracticable for the men to continue with
out doing this.
Conferences between several of the firm
and members of the union were held this
afternoon In an effort to adjust the
trouble, but the packers refused to con
cede any of the demands of the
strikers and the probability of an
early aettlement aeema as remote as on tho
first dsy of the tleup.
Tonight 225 boxmakers employed by the
National Box company's plsnt at 3308 Cen
ter avenue, struck because they had been
asked to turnloh boxtn to the packers
against whom the teamsters are struggling.
Ths American Export company today re
fused to handle meat because of the tear
that the drivers, who sre members of the
Teamsters' union, would strike If asked to

Comments of the Iowa Press.
' Des Moines Leader: Another Indication
of the pre-eminence of Iowa these daya is
that every good story that .Is told Is about
"an Iowa man."
Sioux City Tribune: The story of that
recent prohibition decision by the Iowa
supreme court Is growing at a dlstsnca
from home like the celebrated tale of the
three black crows.
Sioux City Tribune: Waterloo's 1150.000
postofflce building appropriation will cer
tainly be entitled to rank as a notable In
stance of the coals of fire system of get
ting revenge. The speaker's personal pull
Is what got the big appropriation.
Keokuk Gate Cltv: Iowa should have a
solid republican delegation in the next
congress, as it has in the present one, and
haa had for some time. No ante-electlon
contests within the party should be per
mitted to take on a character likely t
jeopardise this result.
Davenport Democrat: The college boys,
with their fool kidnaplngs and abductions,
have managed to furnish the country with
another college tragedy. What seems to be
wanted is a line of home training that will
disabuse the youth In college of the hallu
cination that It ia necesttary for him to
raise the devil bodily in order to sustain
himself with manly credit..
Waterloo Courier: It Is really beautiful
to see the faith of Uncle Dick Clarknon of
the Register In the Iowa crop pronpects.
After the heavy rains of the month have
an far reached a total of nearly nine inches
aa much as Is generally the lot of the
state for a whole season, Uncle Dick per
sists in declaring that tha slight moisture
of the last few days Is Just what is needed
fur Iowa corn.
Waterloo Courier: The city council of
Waterloo last night emphasised the atand
taken two weeks ago against granting ad
ditional permits . for the operation ot
saloons in Waterloo. Two applications for
saloon permits were preat-nted and read to
the council and both of them were promptly
knocked out, the first by the vote of Mtvor
'Martin, on a tie, and the second by a otear
majority in the council. The jteople of
'Waterloo will applaud this action of the
city fathers. There are thirst dispensaries
enough In Waterloo for all uiteful and
practical purposes. Sixteen' saloons in one
town of IS.ikiO people ought to be able to
supply liquid refreshments to all callers
without creating a congestion of humanity,
at the bars.
