RECEIVER ASKER
Suit has been filed by A. C. Will
iams, as trustee of the Katalia Pro
duce Company, against W. G. Smith
and Charles Rosenberg as trustees of
, the Morrison Fish Company, Gorman
& Company and the First National
Bank of Katalia. The plaintiff
charges that he gave a chattel mort
gage to secure a consideration of $1536
and that upon the payment of this
mortgage the defendant trustees re
fused to cancel the mortgage and the
plaintiff alleges that It has cost $80 to
defray attorney’s expenses to enforce
this cancellation.
Later it seems that the holdings of
the various interests making up the
Morrison Fish Company were pooled,
and that the total valuation of he pool
amounted to $10,00. Smith and
Rosenberg were appointed trustees.
The plaintifT further charges, that as
trustees of this pool, the defendants
collected (he sum of $5000, and out of
that fund have satisfied only the
Claims of the Katalia bank as creditor,
completely ignoring the claims of
other creditors to their serious and ir
repairable damages. Williams alleges
that there is due him the amount of
$368.33 plus $58.92 interest, and an
other amount of $255.24.
The complaint asks that the Court
restrain the defendant trustees from
further disbursements to the Katalia
bank, that the trustees be obliged to
furnish the plaintiff a full and com
plete statement of the accounts of the
pooled company, and for the judg
ments in the two amounts alleged to
be due and unpaid. <
O. A. Tucker will represent the
plaintiff. No answer has been filed
i—. —
and the cas£ will probably not be
heard until late In the next term of
court.

LANE'S PLAN FOR
At a special meeting of the Chamber
of Commerce, held Saturday evening,
Secretary Lane’s Alaska Development
Board was nunnimously endorsed by
the adoption of the following resolu
tions:
Whereas, Alaska is on the eve of
wonderful development due to the con-1
structlon of the government railroad
and the promised opening of the coal
fields within the Territory;
And Whereas, this development
should be fostered in every possible
way by the national government in
order that the people of the United1
States and the pioneers of Alaska may
develop the latent resources of the
Territory under proper guidance and
without undue and unnecessary hin
drance;
And Whereas, the lack of co-ordlna
tlon among the various government
departments having duties to perform
in Alaska, and the distance of the
Territory from the seat of the national
government has resulted in veratlous
delays often of years’ duration so that
the normal industrial and economic
development of Alaska has actually
retrograded within the past decade;
Now Therefore, Be It Resolved, that
the Chamber of Commerce of Cordova,
Alaska, heartily endorses the proposal
of the Honorable Franklin K. Lane,
Secretary of the Interior, for an Alas
kan Development Board, and urges
upon Congress the necessity for the
passage of such a measure, believing
that a centralization of bureaus with
headqnaters in Alaska, will solve the
Alaskan question.
And Bp It Further Resolved that
we request the -Honorable James
Wickersham, Delegate to Congress
from the Territory of Alaska, to use
his best efforts to secure the enact
ment of such a law.
And Be It Further Resolved, that
copies of this resolution be sent to the
Chamber of Commerce of the United
States of America requesting the sup
port of that organization in further
ance of this Alaskan Development
Board proposal.

Archibald to Tell His Story To Lansing.
NEW YORK, Sept. 20—William Archibald, the American
who was the bearer of private messages from the Austrian am
bassador to his home government at Vienna, the disclosure of
which resulted in the recall of Dumba, arrived in this city today
from Rotterdam. Archilbald was met at the dock by secret
service men, who hurried him away from the newspaper men,
who were trying to interview him, and was closely questioned
by the detectives. As far as can be learned Archibald refused
to talk, and said that he was going immediately to Washington,
where he would tell his story to Secretary Lansing, saying that
the facts would'show that he acted unwittingly in the matter.
