Receiver Appointed In Strong & Co. Failure Scandal
New York reports the appointment of a receiver for the firm of W. L. Strong & Co amid rumors of up to six million dollars in liabilities. The collapse follows the deaths of ex mayor William L. Strong and F. H. Stott, with lenders recalling extensive indorsements and “swapping paper” between the two firms. Philadelphia and Philadelphia creditors contest the scope of the loss, while Edward A. Treat surveys the books to determine solvency.

New Canon Reforms Planned By Episcopal Church On Marriage
At the general conference in San Francisco next October three new canons on marriage and divorce will be proposed. If adopted the church would condemn remarrying while a former spouse is still alive, except when the remarriage involves the innocent party in adultery. A twelve member committee has studied the issue since 1895 and drafted three canons after meeting again this week.
