They were hungry and had scarcely
enough money to get food sufficient to
keep them from starving. They were a

sued by Judge Shiras to Receiver
Allen Of the Americrh Investment
company Of Emmetsburg, Ia. June 2,
when the receiver was appointed,
claims aggregating $1,000 had been
fled for collection ON the mortgages
which President ormsby had failed e
remit to the mortgage holders. Judge
Shiras Thursday night heard the com.
plaint of Eliza Caroill, whose little $6O(

such claims. The assets applicable t.
this purpose are Just about sufficient.

Mr.. Hills Position ON Clotnre--Littio Pros
r.....-. Pect of Change.
WASHINGTON, Dec. There is a
great deal Of interest at this time as to
the probable course of Senator Hill
during the coming session in the mat.
ter of changing the rules of the senate.
The New York senator was one of the
foremost advocates of the adoption of
cloture rule during the last session, and
it is assumed for this reason that he
will take leading part in the effort to
adopt some rule like the previous ques-
tion in this session The fact is that
Senator Hill has declared himself as
.unalterably opposed to the income tax,
and is willing to resort to any filibus-
tering tactics to prevent the passage Of
any bill designed to facilitate the col
lection OF this tax Then it has been
argued that the Republicans would be
likely to favor cloture, in order that
they may use this weapon to put legis-
latiye matters through when they
secure control; but such leaders as
Senators Sherman and Hear are great
sticklers for precedent, nd they are
not likely to take a new course now.
