RECEIVER STRATUM
ANXIOUS FOR ACTION
• Wants Investigation of Ocean
Shore Affairs by Board of
Competent Engineers
Attorneys for Bond Holders 0b«
ject to Plan as Useless
Waste of Funds
Opposition* to completing the Ocean
Shore railroad under the receivership
of F. P. Stratton disclosed a plan on
th*> part of the bond holders yesterday
to takf matters into th^:r own hands.
Even th*> appointment of impartial en
gineers by the court to find the truth
as to the road's prospects was object
ed to. with the result tbat a con
tinuance was obtaioetl until a week
from nest Saturday. Receiver Strat
lon appeared yesterday as the cham
pion of the Investigating board, while
IS. S. Pillsbury, attorney for H. D.
I'iilsbury. seemed in no hurry to exe
<ut<» tlie plan he had himself proposed
In a suit of intervention.
Strarton, said, in court and out, that
he wanted to terminate his receiver
ship unless there was a prospect of
putting the road on a paying basis.
Meantime he proposed to protect all
parties, including the stock holders
who put $2,500,000 into the road with
out security and the creditors who hold
$_. TOO. OOO of unsecured claims. At the
• 'penlng of court Walter Kaufman, at
lorney for the receiver, had 'no sooner
brought up the question than E. J. Mc
• "utchen, representing unnamed bond
holders, objected. McCutchen said there
was no hope of putting the road on
its feet and investigating , engineers
vould be a useless expanse. He thought
a report would require six weeks or
?aore. Further, the stock holders, he
heard, had appointed a committee to
confer with bond holders in regard to
winding up the affairs of the road, if
necessary, or of rehabilitating it inde-'
j.endently.
ATTORNEYS CLASH
Kaufman replied that, owing to ma
trrial already collected, an. engineer's
j eporr would not take over a week,
experts asking but $100 a day. Whether
the road is continued, foreclosed o"
soid. he said, such a report would he
r. r-eessary. Moreover, he did not see
what right attorneys not on record had
to object. The receiver, he added, pro
tects not only the bond holders, but all
creditors, including the unpaid .labor
ers.
Pillsbury, Henry H. Davis, for cer
tain creditors; Matt Sullivan as. repre
sentative of $45,000 worth of laborers'
claims and others joined in a plea for
delay. \V. I. Brobeck for the Mercan
tile tn:st company, trustee of the bonds,
:;ia<le general objections to everything
V.if receiver proposed.-
Judge Van Fleet, whllo describing the
proposals of the objectors as "vague
;md indefinite." said he would grant a
short delay to examine their merit.
Meantime he advised the objectors not
oa record to prepare legal papers. with
.-• vif.w to obtaining a standing in court.
"SANDARD OIK PAID
An issue of receiver's certificates to
cover a fuel oil bill of over $3,000
• \u25a0wing the Standard oil company was
:i: lowed. Kaufman said the company
had made ti contract when the price of
\u25a0 il was low. t £inee then oil has risen
and the trust has used delinquency in
payment as an excuse to repudiate its
obligations. Kaufman said that he
v.ished to test the trust's commercial
honor by a tender of the money, for
if the price of oil had dropped the
i -ompany would be the first to fight for
tho legality of the contract.

whom are identified -\u25a0 by the names
"ytelia," "Ella" and "Ethel" — -these are
some of the- charges made \u25a0 by : Mrs.
Lampe yesterday in", he^r answer to the
divorce complaint of the beauty doctor.
Mrs. Lampe does not^'deny shooting
her husband in: the head August 28,
1909, but explains that she was in a
frenzy .of fear because- her • husband
brandished an open razor and "threat
ened.to: kill her. JJShe flatly contradicts
Lampe's assertion that he signed a
statement exonerating his wife
blame because of his intense love for
her and because, he believed she might
be prosecuted for. murder. His real
reason, Mrs. Lampe affirms, was "be
cause he was in fear of impending
death and did not want, to appear be
fore his Maker with a lie Upon his lips."
DOCTOR EXTREMELY JEALOUS
\ : The cross,complaint recites at length
the circumstances - preceding and at
tending the shooting of Lampe. They
had been out looking for a room and
upon their return chanced.t o meet a
male acquaintance in the. street and
stopped to talk a few, minutes. Lampe
is 'extremely jealous, hrs .wife alleges,
and upon reaching the Holland hotel,
where they lived, flew into a .violent
rage and charged her with flirting.
Fearing- the. repetition .of a scene of a
few days before, Mrs. Lampe went to
the telephone, but her husband, she^al
leges, picked up the receiver and
struck lier with such force that It was
broken. -To escape from him, Mrs.
Lampe says, she got under the bed.
Lampe sprang toward her, brandishing
an opening "razor and threatening to
kill her. In a frenzy offear and not
realizing just what she was doing, she
grabbed a pistol and instinctively
pointed lfat Lampe. When he was al
most upon her the pistol was dis
charged and Lampe .was wounded. Mrs.
Lampe says she does not know exactly
how it happened. Her husband was so
close upon her, she asserts, that .his
forehead ' was covered witlr - powder
marks. She- denies that the shooting
was either willful, malicious or inten
tional.
IMT.XOHES A.YD KICKS
The tale of a trip to Stockton that
was never completed is told at length
In the cross complaint. In April, 1309,
while in the Stockton boat, Lampe
became Incensed at what he regarded
as undue attention to his wife on the
part of a waiter, and in their state
room Lampe "attacked her with fists
and feet and kicked her vio
lently In the abdomen." At this
time, she . says, she was in n
delicate state of health. She re
fused to continue the trip to Stock
ton, and got -off at the next landing.
Lampe took all her money, the wife
states, and refused to pay her way
at a hotel, so she lay down on the
wharf, whereupon he brutally kicked
her and made her arise. She screamed
in pain, and the wharf keeper took
her into his shed, where she remained
until tlie boat returned to San Fran
cisco. (
MOTHER HELPS SON*
Mrs. Lampe states that on May 30,
1009, she was abused by both Lampe
and his mother, wherupon she asked~
for the. key. of the basement so she
could get her trunks and return home.
Lampe's mother told her If-sho did
not go she would throw her into the
street."
; "Please may I. phone to my brother
and ask him to take me to dinner if
1 promise not .to tell him what you
and your mother have done to me?"
she : says she asked her husband. She
picked up the. receiver for that pur
pose, but states that Lampe took it
from her and beat her with it while
his mother jumped on her and dug her
linger nails In her "and scratched her
so that she bled profusely. When
Lampe ?aw the blood he told his
mother to stop, it is stated, and. then
gave his wife the key, laughing and
stating it was "very funny."
I. A MPE A LOTHARIO
jOn frequent occasions Lampe is ac
cused of having boasted of his con
quests of married '--.women,' who he
said were in. love with -him. He
showed : his "wife flowers that "Steim"
had ; sent him. ' and was particularly
piTMid of his relationship' with "Ella"
and "Ethel."'- both of whom are mar
ried, the cross; complaint asserts. A
certain' telephone Tnessage,'-: Lampe -is
stated to have told his wife, was from
a woman who was in a. shipwreck with
her husband, and who wished her hus
band had been drowned so that she
could go away/with J Lampe.' . ,
'The wife complains; that , ever since
their reconciliation following ' the
shooting Lampe has -beaten, her iblack
and blue.. She assorts" that \he Is not
a graduated, : licensed or registered
pyhsician or surgeon, and' is quite ig
norant" of medicine and surgery, not
withstanding; that he advertises ;hlni-
Selt as tho "most -eminent authority
on artistic featural;' remodeling." She
asks for $100 a month alimony." .-
