agent. We know that some Americans are
actuated by worthless motives; We know
that others are carried away by a mere war

H00lEY'S EXAMINATION.
He Attributes His Failure to the Work
of His Partner.

London, July H.-The public examina-
ton In the bankruptcy court to-day into
the affairs of Ernest Terah Hooley, the
company promoter, for whose property
on his own application a receiver was APP
pointed on July q, attracted a big crowd.
The debtor attributed his failure chiefly
to his partner. a man named Rucker. Grip
ping the business by drawing out $500, 600
within two months.
In detailing the fiotation of the l)unlop
Tire company. Mr.. Hooley said the rames
on the directorate cost etwee $50 900
and 100000, including those of Lord Al
bemarle. e12.50O. and Lord De La War;,
e25,00O. In connection with the fotation
Mr.. Hooley also said he lost G62, 900 on
suppress calls these being shares in
tended for people connected with newspa-
pers, whose names have not been di-
vulged. though Il Is expected they will
be made public later.
In the course of his testimony Mr.. Hoo
ley detailed the payments he made to the
newspapers, including as alleged, the Pail
Mall Gazette. the Financial Post and a
numer of smaller papers. When Mr.. Hoo
ley was questioned about a10,OO0 paid to
Harry Marks. editor OF the Financial
News. he denied that 1t was connected
with the insertion Of 'purs' in the paper
named.
AS a matter OF fact the supposed profit
of the fiotation OF the Dunlop Tire COM
pany, amounting TO Ell, 200. 900, had been
"sweated" away TO under goo, 600. Mr..
Hooley 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 E10.000 for
acting as chairman of one of the bicycle
tube manufacturing concerns.
Thu testimony is creating even more of
a futter In the West End OF London than
in the city proper. The revelations con-
corning such men as the Earl of DE La
War; and the Earl of Albemarle have
been received with establishment. Numer-
Gus Instances were disclosed by Mr.. Hoo
ley in which a peer bearing a proud title
would charge the promoter a sum rang
Ing from f500 TO f2.00o for an introduce
ton to another peer. Thus. Mr.. Hooley
said. the Earl of De La War; received
R2.ooo for an introduction to Lord GreviIle.
while Lord Dorhurst (who married Miss
Bonynge of San Francisco) received
f2.0O0 for an introduction to Lord Ash
burton.
