Show RECEIVER'S CLAIMS STAGGERED THEM That receivers; "come high" to whatever what-ever responsibility they may bo as-assigned, as-assigned, is known, perhaps, to every person who ever had occasion to call In one, but that Receiver Tanner, who was made custodian of the Majestic company's mines and smelters down at Mllford some time ago should exact $1000 a month for his services has fallen among those now seeking to adjust the company's affairs and to extricate it from the courts, with the violence of a thunderbolt It Is said to have convulsed con-vulsed W. B. Mucklow, who came West as the special emissary of the minority In the Majestic by which $100,000 was subscribed, while Frank Knox, who has been designated as the trustee or disbursing dis-bursing agent, confessed that lie had been staggered and he has, as a banker, had some experience with receivers, too. As trustee, saly Mr. Knox, yesterday, he will recommend that receiver's claim be resisted. In his opinion It Is ridiculously ridicu-lously exorbitant. Senator Tanner, who Is In the south, feels no doubt that a receiver's compensation com-pensation should bo determined largely by the value of assets over which he has been exercising a stewardship and has rendered his bill accordingly. The arrival of claims against the company held about Mllford Is expected expect-ed today, when the active disbursement of the fund now in the hands of Trustee Trus-tee Knox will follow. |
