WEEGHMAN GOES INTO BANKRUPTCY TO SAVE SELF FROM ACTIONS f CHICAGO. Aug. 13 Without alleging -pie Charles Weeghman company, operators of the Weeghman restaurants, Is Insolvent, creditors filed an involuntary petition in bankruptcy against It in the United States district court yesterday. ' Mr. Weeghman is a former Richmond, Ind.,". man and former; head of the Chicago Cubs. The petition was filed in behalf of the W. S. Quinby Coffee company, the Bakers Flour company, and the Hofherr Meat company, who scheduled claims aggregating $12,000. The action was taken. Attorney Albert M. Blum explained, with the assent of the Weeghman company for the immediate purpose of forestalling possible similar action by creditors who, becoming impatient, might force their claims to Judgments.. It was announced that the restaurants will not be closed. As no federal judge is now sitting, the' matter will be taken before Referee in Bankruptcy Prank L. Wean this morning to act on the appointment of a receiver. Weeghman Issues Statement Charles Weeghman, president of the concern, issued the following stateiment: "Recent events have created a condition where the Charles Weeghman company has been unable to meet its obligations as they fell due. The result has been that a few creditors, becoming impatient, have forced their claims to judgments. The company as a going concern is solvent. It owns a number of very valuable restaurants and leaseholds and enjoys a large patronage. "Most of the creditors, especially the larger ones, have been most indulgent and have endeavored to help us work out the situation, and we aTe very grateful for their cooperation. Owing to the current financial stringency it has been impossible to arrange sufficient funds to meet the situation within the short time given us. Our desire now is to pay every creditor in full and conserve the business so that it may continue as a going concern. "We find that it ts necessary, in order to save the situation and work It out to the best interest of all the creditors, to consent that our business be administered in and with the aid of the court of bankruptcy." Referee Wean issued an order restraining the University of Chicago, owner of the Tacoma building, from removing any fixtures or interfering with the property of the Weeghman company" at 126.-130 West Madison street. v A distress warrant was filed In the superior court yesterday afternoon by the Webster Safe Deposit company against the Weeghman company.authoriring T. S. Kilbride to distrain all the personal property of Weeghman, such as chairs, tables, coffee urns, and dishes in his places of business at 120 West Van Buren street and at 333-37-39 South LaSalle street, so that the payment of $5,800 rent for the months of May. June. July and August may be made. FREIGHT CONDITIONS HERE BESTjN YEARS Pennsylvania freight officials say that freight conditions at the Richmond yards are the best sine? the first great freight congestion during the war. The officials say the railroads of the country are bending all effort toward rushing coal cars to eastern mines to prevent, a coal famine this winter. The supply of coal moving westward Is greater than this time last year. Because of this fact, officials believe a famine of coal will be averted. An ofTicial in charge of routing cars says that gravel companies are gettins less than half the number of cars asktd for. Gravel is shipped in coal gondolas and the supply is cut to a minimum. The supply of cars to gravel and sand companies can not be stopped entirely, however, as it would cause suspension of needed business activities. The railroads are also making special efforts to rush cars to wheat dis tricts to take care of the bumper wheat crop. Kvery week sees hundreds of loaded grain cars pass through Richmond for eastern points.

RiviAi men schools SHORT 14 TEACHERS Although rural high schols are short about 14 teachers, active preparatoina are being made for the opening of school on Sept. 6th, according to C. O. Williams, county superintendent. . Williams says the rural buildings have been renovated where possible, The elementary grades are well taken care of. as there are 40 applicants on reserve list of teachers. Williams says it is possible to purchase the school books from two local book sellers, and from a Cambridge City dealer. He believes enough are on hand to take care of the first rush. Williams is confident that the 14 high school teachers will sign before Sept. 6th.The ruling that a teacher must have graduated from a college before license to teach in high school is granted, is the principle reason for delay. Shortage is due, Williams says to the fact that manufacturers and commercial houses pay college graduates much better salaries than would they get as school teachers. V-enizelo's Assailant Was Fired From Greek Army; Premier Not in Danger (By Associated Press) PARIS, Aug. 13. Georges Thyriakls, and Apostelos Iserppis, the assailants of Premier Venizelos, of Greece, who was painfully wounded yesterday at the Lyons railway station here, acted through purely personal motives, according to a statement issued at the Greek Legation. After the fall of former Constantine, they were removed from the Greek army and Navy by the Venizelos government because of their pro-German sentiments, it is said. Premier Venizelos spent a good night in the hospital to which he was taken and is in no danger, it was announced by physicians early today. The bullet, which lodged in his left shoulder was to be extracted this morning. Police officials have searched the men's rooms and found documents in Greek, German and French, which will be examined by the magistrate. As a special precaution, Premier Venizelos went to the station an hour before his train was to start, and entered through the baggage room, but Iserppis learned of the arrangements casually from a Greek newspaper correspondent assigned to report the departure of the premier. Wayne Schools Unaffected By Ruling, Says Williams C. O. Williams, county superintend ent of schools, said Friday that the ruling of the state board of education that state aid would not be given rural schools with an average attendance of 12 or less, would have no effect on schools in Wayne county. Williams says there is a state law which forbids schools with less than an average attendance of 12. Some rural communities in the state however, have attendances as low as four. Albert G. Hill Succumbs Albert G. Hill, of the National Road east, died at 9 a. m., Friday, in Indianapolis. Surviving relatives are a widow, Lydia and one 6on, Fred R. Hill, of New York.
