IWSULL DIRECTORATE
REPLACED BY BOARD
Presidents of 'Systems’
Leading Subsidiaries to
Comprise Board
‘ CHITAGO,-0#)-—The enlre di
|rectorate of the Middle West Utili
‘ties co., the billion dolar holding
concern for public utilities formerly
operated by Samuel Insull in 32
states, has"rosigned,‘and. the receiv.
ers ann6unced, has been replaced by
a smaller board consisting of presi.
dents of the system's leading sub
s.diaries, p
Announcement of the change was
Imud last night by Edward N. Hur
jley and Charles A, McCulloch, re
ceivers in euity for the Middle West
which serves 6,300,000 customers in
the' United States and Canada,
In addition, they said, fifteen of
the holding company’s 16 officers,
!who sepved under the Insull regime,
{have been dropped. Oliver E. Me
{Cormick, treasurer, was the only of.
ficial retained.
! The new directorate of 10 will
serve with Grover C. Neff, recently
linstalled as president. Neff, like all
jthe members of the new board, was
head of an operating combany be.
ifon\ assuming his present duties.
Among the 15 directors replaced
{\vere Samuel Insull, now in Paris;
;hls brother, Martin, now in Cana
ida; and Samuel Insul, ir,, enroute to
Paris.
- T%:‘ receivers branded talk of
hankruptey for the Middle West as
{“poppycock.” They reiterated thelr
!statement that the holding concern
lwas solven and said its 42 operating
.?snl.sldiaries are now in a stronxeri
leash position than at any time in
ithe past five yeéars, oy
i Two of Samuel Insull's investment
‘ltnmt.s, the 'Corpomtion Securities
iwnmp:my and the Insull Utility In
ivestments, Inc., were adjujdged
bankrupt after their receivers had
respaired of salvaging anything for
stockholders who had invested
£300,000,000.
State’s Attorney John A. Swanson

Death Takes John
Sharp Williams,
Noted Statesman
YAZOO CITY, Miss. —(AP)—
Former Senator John Sharp Will
jams, the vitriolic “gentlemun
from Mississippl” who spent. part
of his boyhoood fleeing a federal
invasion of his state and most as
his manhood in his country’s eon
gress, died last night. o
He was 78 and was at his old
plantation home near here with a
group of hig kinsmen when the
end came. He had failed fast dur
iing recent months and his death
was not wholly unexpected.
It was the crackling, piercing
voice of Sharp Williams—studeat
of Heidelberg, . connoisseur of
' beautiful things, pianter of ecot
ton—that helped awaken the south
from the lethargy that _almost
smothered it after the war be
tween the states. The same voice
commanded mightly eloquence and
stinging scarcasm as it fought the
batties of Woodrow Wilsqn in the
senate during the trying days of
the League .of Nations fight, And
it was the same voice that told
the senate after it doomed Wil
con’s measure “I'd rather be B
hound dog and bay at the moon
from my Mississippi plantation
than remain the United States
senate.”
He retired .from public Jife 1n
