# Receiver Wants to # Get Back $4,500 Paid # Out to Glass Pot Co. In a petition to the Dauphin county court asking permission to begin pro- ceedings against the Glass Rotary Pot Company to recover $4,500, James L. Adams, receiver for the Dominion Trust Company, Pittsburgh, yesterday admitted that the money had originally been paid to the Glass Rotary Company by mistake as a trust fund claim. The order in which the pay- ment of the $4,500 was directed was approved August 31, 1914. In the petition Receiver Adams said that when the affairs of the trust com- pany were being settled, the $4,500 which represented the trust money the Glass Company had kept in the bank, was paid, presumably from a balance at hand because the fund was a trust fund. Since then according to Mr. Adams, he has discovered his mistake and asked the court's leave yesterday to rectify it. The court allowed 10 days to answer the rule.
