ASKS RECEIVER FOR MANHATTAN OIL COMPANY John B. Nichols Files Suit Accusing Officers of Unfair Practices. An accounting of the affairs of the Manhattan Oil company and ap pointment of a receiver were asked yesterday by John B. Nichols in a suit filed in district court against the company, Aj'eorge A. Steele, its vice president; C. A. Youngerman, secretary-treasurer; James P.Howe, president, and Mrs. Amanda Howe, his wife. Nichols alleges that Mr. Howe has had issued to himself 14,380 shares of the company's stock, and to his wife 1,498 shares for which shares he alleges no services ere given or money paid except a promissory note which is held by Mr. Howe, Nichols alleges. He charges that Messrs. Younger man and Steele have conspired with Mr. Howe to control the company to the detriment of the small stock holders. He says large sums have been taken from the company's as sets by the defendants and charges that Mr. Howe has used funds of the company in developing other corporations in which he is inter ested. Nichols charges that unrea sonably large salaries have been paid. He charges the defendants issued large amounts of stock to them- selves at par though the stock is sell ing at a premium. This, he alleges, is a fraud upon the minority stock holders. A plan is now or. foot to increase the capitalization from $300,000 to $1,000,000 which, Nichols says, is a move not necessary to provide funds for operating tire company. The company's main plant is at 1433 North Eleventh street. It is in a flourishing condition. A semi annual dividend of 10 per cent on the common stock was declared last December. Mr. Nichols has also filed suit for $1,609 of the $2,400 which he says is due him for this dividend. He was paid only $780, lie says, though he owns 2.400 shares of stock, par value $10 a share.
