is a *6uo,bon.ouo (M) firm. Jnsull whose optimism the pros ' pective receivership could not dampen, hastened to assure Invest-; ere, that condition of the operating companies was excellent despite poor economic outlook and that only the Investment concern was affected. Revenues of the three largest operating companies, Commonwealth Edison Co.. Peoples Gas, Light ACoke Co., and Public Service Co., of Northern Illinois have been maintained on a high level. Difficulties of the Middle West Utilities arise, as the receivership petition pointed out, from refinancing Similar action is expected for Instill Utility Investwents, Inc., and. Corporation Securities Co., of Chi cago, investment trusts of the Instill interests and both large holders of Middle West and other Instill securities. “The action seemed unavoidable,’ a statement by the Middle West directors said, “as the first step toward a reorganization of the company The action in no way affects subsidiary utility operating companies. The receivership petition asserted the Middle West Utilities had hank loans of *27.000,000 of which *24,000,000 are demand loans no longer protected by sufficient collateral. In addition of a *40,000.000 serial gold note issue tomes duo .lune 1. Middle West Securities holders number about loo.nisi holding 15.700.090 shares of common stock priced at 25 cents at yesterday’s close and 007,000 shares of preferred stock. Tile vast interlocking structure of the Insult interests which the l»tilliati£ Chicago industrialist forged out of hundreds of small units is difficult for even the specialist in finance to conceive. The contern was founded in 1912 and grew in giant strides with the growth t.f the nation. ( Opt rations arc carried on in mote than 30 states and in well liver 5,000 separate communities, its customers number approximately 2.000.000. There are K 5 individ

' l The seen lilies issued by the ; Middle West Utilities and its subsidiaries Jt the close of 1931 were Jcarried on the company's books at a value of *1,249,146,522 I 81. Decision to ask a receivership as 1 , the strumlest method of protecting 3 the company and its investors wase i reached after lengthy conferences of Insull and New York and Chi\cago bankera. Ij As credit restriction grew with the ('ontinncil world wide depression. Insull. always a popular figure in the drawing room of Chicago ■ society, deserted his accustomed' i paths and even neglected the civic' opera which had been his passion ■ ate hobby. , Reverting to the IS-ltour day and • constant work that marked the welding of the massive utility prop- ; ertiea under his genius, the man who once was secretary to Thomas . A. Edison directed his entire en- ; ergy to business i When receivership became api'parent as a protective measure he met it still smiling, confident of the ( future with the philosophy he ex--1 pressed in an interview years ago: | “My greatest ambition in life isi : to hand down my name as clean as ( I received it. It's just that; ft | i-Isn’t a uue.stion of money or any- ) thing else.’’ LOCAL WOMEN ATTEND MEET , “■— (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE L i - Myers. W. Guy Brown.

MASSIE WILL TELL SLAYING .t’OSIIM’EIt FK'tM PAGE ONE) strange effect on my mind." | The famous Ala Moana ease, as the trial of live natives accused of attacking Mrs. Massie was known, 1 Itecame the defense of the four Am jerlcans when Massie was called as | the*r first witness. Florid faced John Kelley, who had Just, concluded the prosecution’s circumstantial evidence, interrupted Darrow's questioning with n , warning that he would object to 1 bring In the Aia Moana ease unless insanity was to l»e the defense. Darrow’s face was an enigma as ■ lie answered "insanity will figure jin the case—that is. for the one who shot Hie pistol. ’’ Mrs. Fortescue was on the verge of a collapse hs she listened to the lieutenant reveal tile mistreatment > |of her daughter. Botli these cen-1 trial figures o the island tragedy 1 were closely oltservetl by Drs. Edward H. Williams and John Orb 1 ison. psychiatrists brought from the I mainland. Haltingly. Massie toid how he , first met Thalia Fortescue when 1 she was a schoolgirl of 16 and he a fledgling Annapolis man of 22. 1 I He abruptly shifted to a moonless i night last September and the coup-, ile’s decision to attend a dance at | Waikiki Beach. The jury of seven Caucasians, three islanders and two i Chinese leaned forward. “When we were ready to leave ! for home 1 couldn’t find Thalia,” he I said. His voice became hoarse. “1 phoned home and she was there. | Please come home, something terlible has happened,' site said. “She collapsed in my arms at the] door. Blood was streaming from her nose and mouth. Her lips were] crushed and her eyes bruised.’’ Through Hie story of her aliduc 1 tion and mistreatment by the na-! I fives on Ala Moana road Massie led I l*te jury how Mrs. Massie's jaw iwas opehTted on and how she al- ! most choked to death. When she ' , was in the hospital she identified i I four islanders as her assailants, he' said. Massie left no doubt hut lie con I sitlered Kahaliawai one of tile gull ty. “She prayed for mercy but Kali j aliawai struck her," lie continued. 1 “He laughed as lie did it. Slie told i me of it a thousand times, and ; would cry. why didn’t they kill l me?’ " "One night Thalia began having j lialluciaations that Kihahawai was outside our house. Finally I heard The sounds myself." The last blow to a tortured mind’ was the discovery of physicians that Mrs. Massie was to become a : mother, Massie said. " It was worse than anything I! could imagine.’’ lie cried, rising in i his chair, almost shouting in his anguish. "It was tlte tiling I had

feared. '"lt hud a Mrange effect on my mind." Darrow hastily called him from tiie stand and court adjourned un til today, when Massie was to fin | Isli Ills ordeal with the first recital: 'of what actuaHy occurred last January when Kahahawal met vioI lent death. In anticipation of the testimony, i 'a long line of spectators gathered I In front of the courthouse early' last evening, ready for an all-night I vigil.

Ryd-| CEREAL RELIEVED HIS CONSTIPATION Kellogg’s All-Bran Brought' New Health Every one who has suffered from constipation should read Mr. P. M. Fisher’s letter: “For many years I suffered from constipation and used, for relief, all kinds of laxatives. After a few' days’ treatment, I would only find my condition the same as before and at times worse. “Some time ago I started to use 1 Kellogg’s All-Bran regularly, once, la day as directed. Since doing this, I have found that I do not need i any other medicine to procure the 'desired result, and it keeps me in a very healthful condition.” —Mr. P. M. Fisher, 352 Evergreen Place, Ridgewood, N. J. Constipation is caused by lack of i two things in the diet: “Bulk" to exercise the intestines; Vitamin B to tone the intestinal tract. AllBran supplies both —and also iron for the blood. The “bulk” in All-Bran is much like that in lettuce. Inside the hotly, it forms a soft mass, which gently. I clears out the wastes. How much safer this is than risk- ' ing pills and drugs—so often harmful Just cat two tatdesjxmnfuls .laily —in serious cases, with every meal. If your intestinal trouble ‘ is not relieved in this way, see’your i doctor. Equally tasty as a cereal, or used in cooking. Get th-> red-and-grecn package at your grocer’s.
