Receiver appointed for Moore Lawless Grain in Kansas City
In Kansas City on June 13 a receiver was named for the Moore Lawless Grain company. Benjamin C. Moore, president of Moore-Seaver Grain, was appointed at the petition of Blanche Welton of Los Angeles who says she lent money to the firm. The petition claims the firm is insolvent with debts around 730 318 dollars and assets about 836 666 dollars. Moore’s death on June 3 at rail tracks is tied to the timing of a planned annual statement. The Uhlmann Grain company says the action is a solvent, preventive move to protect creditors. The stockyards office at Kansas City and the Atchison office will pass to the receivers.
