IN RECEIVERSHIP
HUGE AMERICAN CONCERN CHICAGO, April 14. (Received April 15, at 10 p.m.) The Middle West Utilities Company, which had a holding of 2,500,000.000 dollars and was organised by Samuel Insul, the utilities magnate, filed a bill of receivership in the Federal District Court. This is the largest corporation to go into receivership in the history of the United States. It was organised several years ago, when the stocks of various interlocking companies were at peak prices, and the subsequent depression of securities made the payment of obligations impossible. Mr Insul, who has been appointed one of the receivers, declared that the action would not affect the big utilities under his management.
