THE POOR FIRST.
Judge Shiras Makes Certain Claims
Against a Defunct Investment
Company Preferred.
SHUTS OFF SPECTATORS
Who Had Intended Buying Up the
Mortgages For Less Than Their
Their Face Value.

DUBUQUE, Ia, Dec. 1.-"Pay the
poor first" is the spirit Of the order is
sued by Judge Shiras to Receiver
Allen of the American Investment
company Of Emmetsburg, Ia. June 2,
when the receiver was appointed,
claims aggregating $3.50, 900 had been
fled for collection on the mortgages
which President Ormsby had failed to
remit to the mortgage holders. Judge
Shiras Thursday night heard the com.
plant of Eliza CARROLL, whose little $500
was invested in one Of these mortgages,
and he ordered the receiver to prefer all
such claims. The assets applicable to
this purpose are just about sufficient.
A Scheme of Capitalists.
The mortgages held by the Mercan-
tile Trust company of New York are to
be sold in that city Dec. ID, to redeem
the debentures. If Judge Shiras had
not made this order it would have been
practicable for New York spectators
holding most of the debentures to carry
out a plan they had formed to buy
these mortgages below their value and
present a claim to the receiver for the
remainder necessary to satisfy the de.
bentures. Now, however, the re.
sources of the receiver will be used
first in paying the preferred claims.

TORONTO, Ont, Dec. l. AS investi-
CATION proceeds into the aldermanic
Doodle charges it becomes evident that
the amount of boodling and ~rascality
was greater than could be thought pos
sible. Already damaging evidence has
forced two aldermen to resign and
more are in bad positions. Counsel
for the prosecution read a docu-
ment in which Aldermen Hall and
Hewitt undertook, in consideration Of
$4,000, to reveal to the Edison Electric
company figures of the first tender sub
mitted to the Toronto railway Of the
supply Of electric motors in order to
afford the Edison Electric company an
opportunity Of submitting a second
tender, in which they could put figures
that would be lower than those of the
other tenders. Ex-Alderman Hall, who
was a witness, admitted the transac-
ton, but claimed he was not alderman
at the time. He got So, 900 for his share.

WASHINGTON, Dec. There is a
great deal of interest at this time as to
the probable course Of Senator Hill
curing 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 a leading part in the effort to
adopt some rule like the previous ques.
ton 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 flibus.
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-
lative matters through when they
secure control; but such leaders as
Senators Sherman aud Hoar are great
sticklers for precedent, and they are
not likely to take a new course now.
