THE TRIAL OF
 EARNEST HOOLEY The Bankrupt Promoter Makes Some Startling Allegations
 During the Hearing.

London, July N.-The public examination in the bankruptcy court today into the af- fairs of MT. Ernest Terah Hooley, the com- pany promoter, for whose property in his own application, receiver was appointed on July 8, attracted big crowd of people. The debtor attributed his failure chiefly to his partner, man named Fucker, crip- ping the business by drawing out 500, 900 pounds within two months
 In detailing the f1ocation of the Dunlap tire, he said the names on the directorate cost between 5000 and 100 900 pounds, in- cluding those of Lord Abermarle 12 800 pounds, and Lord De La Warr, 25 900 pounds. In connection with the Notation, Mir. Hooley also said he lost 63 ,OOO pounds on press calls,' those being "shares in- tended for people connected with news papers," whose names have not been di- vulged.
 In the course of his testimony, MT. Hoo- ley detailed the payments he had made to newspapers, including, as, alleged, the Pail Mall Gazette, the Financial Post and a number of smaller papers. When MT. Hoo- ley was questioned about 10000 pounds paid to Harry Marks, editor of the Financial News, he denied that 1t was connected with the insertion of "puffs'' in the paper named. As matter of fact, the supposed profit of the Notation of the Dunlap Tire company, amounting to 1,700,0OO pounds, had been ''sweated' away to under 200 900 pounds.
 MT. IIooley further asserted that he paid many thousands of pounds for introduce tions to Lords Ashburton. Warwick. Nor bury and others, and he testified that the Earl of Winchelsea received 10000 pounds for acting as chairman of one of the bicycle tube manufacturing concerns
 The testimony is creating even more of a f1utter in the west end - London than in the city proper. The revee tions concern ing such men as the Earl of Albemarle have been received with astonishment. Nu- merous instances were disclosed by MT. Hooley in which peer bearing a proud title would chargs the promoter a sum ranging from 300 to 2,000 pounds for an in- 'troduction 10 another peer. Thus, MT Hoo- ley said, the Earl of De La Warr received

THE ARDANDHU ON FIRE.
Wild Excitement on Board, But Order Was
 Maintained by Capt. Walker

New York, July G.-The steamship Ard andhu, of the Tweede line, trading be- tween West Indian ports and this city, came up the bay to-day with heavy list to starboard and the cargo stored in her blower hold. on fire. The fire first made its appearance early Monday night in hold No. when off the coast of Maryland. The widest excitement ensued and several of the Il steerage passengers, all Jamaicans endeavored to seize the lifeboats. The third mate, Percy Sanders, was forced to draw his revolver to prevent the men from the steerage leaving the burning steamer in the three lifeboats, which could easily have accommodated the other forty five passengers and members of the crew The passengers were, however forced out of the boats by Captain Walker and his men, and when discipline was restored preparations were first made for saving the lives of the women and children on the vessel. The three lifeboats were lowered The sea was quite calm and the ships of cers stood by the rope ladders. Thus a panic was averted and the safety of the fifty-six persons on board was assured.
 It was nearly midnight when Captain Walker considered that he had the fire un- der control and decided to continue on his way to New York. The women and chill dren were taken back to the steamer and the lifeboats were hoisted to the davits but were not taken on board. The officers from that time on kept watch over the 1ifeboats to prevent the eleven Jamacans who appeared to be terror-stricken from deserting the burning ship in them. The fire continued to burn in holds and un- til this port was reached.
