FRANK BELL ALL RIGHT.
He IssFn New Jersey and Has No
" L~&ftaanY Dehts oIth

The of the Hudson County Bar
were much surprised to read in a New
York newspaperrfhat Frank Bell has dis
appeared from Atlanta and creditors rep
~resenting $50, 900 would like to find him.
Mr.. Bell was well and favorably known
in this city. He was a member of the
bar, with an office in the First National
Bank building. He originally came from
Matawan, Monmouth county, where his
brother was editor of the Matawan Jour
NAL" About four years ago he began
spending his winters in the South and
his summers in New Jersey.
Mr.. Bell said this morning that the
story was absolutely false. He had been
from 1898 until last October the president
of the Hotel Aragon Company, a New
Jersey corporation, which leased the Hotel
ATagon in Atlanta. In October a creditor
obtained an attachment against the hotel
property, and-Mr. Bell was appointed re-
Seeiver. He has been since then and is
stn, he said, acting as such, with the
manager OF the hotel as co-receiver. On
April 20 last the court ordered the sale
of b property and it was sold on May
A. T~hes,business of the receivers, how
ever, has not yet been wound up there
being still some collections to be made,
sc the receiYership has not been dis
charged.
"A few days after the sale of the hotel.
on May s, he came North with his family,
the fact that he was to leave Atlanta
being published in one of the local papers
there.e He left his address and has re-
eeived az his letters since arriving. here.
would be able to max their report about
June l, and he is going back to Atlanta
in a few days for that purpose. His La
bilities are nothing like $4,000, Mr.. Bell
said, and he is in a position to discharge
them all at any time.

JUNIOR o. q. A. M.
Anniversary Meeting at the Taber-
Dacle-SchOols and Immigration.

Dacle-SchOOIs and Immigration.
The Junior Order of American Me-
chanics had an anniversary celebration
last night. There was q parade first, in
which five hundred men took part and
exercises later in the Tabernacle.
The parade was made up of twenty
Councils, formed into five divisions. The
only visiting Council were from Newark
and Haekensack.e The local Councils par
~tieipating awere;-Industry, Lafayette, u.
S. Grant, Clinton, F~arragut, West Side,
Summit, Loyal American, Palisade, Old
Glory, and Hudson.
Councillor John Berrian presided at
the Tabernacle. On the platform with
him yere:-National Representative B.
Fairbanks, Past State Councillor F. H.
Lewis, State Councillor Fisher, Past Ma
tionai Councillor Kibbe, State Treasurer
Reed, State Secretary VIM. H. Meyers,
Secretary G.. ]. Placet, James CogilI,
State Inside Sentinel Black, Councillor
Randall and the Rev. DR.. Van Hise of
Manchester.
III services were opened with a pray
er by the Rev. RoberttK. Wick.
State Councillor Rev. c. J Fisher made
an address, in which he said there are
10000 Junior American Mechanics in this
country. He declared that only since the
Order has been looked upon from a po-
litical standpoint has it begun to grow.
1T amounts to something now he said,
eand will be heard from every time there
is a call to the polls. 1t has been charg-
ed that this Order is ~antagonistic to GER
tain churches. That is not so, because
it believes in allowing every man the
greatest freedom in worshipping God. Yet
it has certain principles for its guidance
and woe to the opponent who gets in the
way of the 10000. 1t demand that the
free school system be maintained. We
have a President now who we believe
will close our ports against the invasion
of ~unwholesome citizens from foreign
lands. We must, for our protection, pre-
vent it. Such emigrants as we get bring
only misery and degradation. They work
for anything they can get and live like
hogs.

Mr.. Hasking agreed with Mr.. Furst, and
announced that he believed it would be

A young man named Anderson wanted
the Inspector of Scales, Weights and

groceryman who was present, mad such
a big kick on the proposition that the
subject was dropped.
Humphrey w. Carr gave a long talk
on manure heaps, their depreciating effect

familiar with his subject.
The Board will have mother talk soon,
