Devlin said he realized that no
amount of argument could convince
Devine. but that there were, neverthe-
less. two sides to the question. If,
when the Attorney General had heard
both sides. he should think it necessary
to ask for a receiver he would ask for
one. He supposed the object OF hav-
ing the matter thrown into the courts
was 10 bring suits against the Board Of
Directors for the recovery of funds,
but # that fact were eliminated there
would be none who would demand a
receiver. He had done his best to have
the matter settled cut of ceuas. ard
though d lawyer he had nothing TO win
or lose in the matter. Every sharehold-
er could get the ear of the Attorney
General and make his wishes known.

Judge J. H. Mekune said the matter
was already In court, and explained
that there was no way OF proceeding
IN insolvency cases except in the courts,
save where every stockhoider agrees
10 such an act. insolvency proceedings
in building and loan associations, he
said. were provided for by a special
Act Of the Legislature, and each asso-
ciation incorporated was obliged TO pay
q certain percentage OF its capital
stock into the State Treasury as a sink
ing fund and his construction of the
law was that all expenses in suits, and
for a receiver would Toe paid cut of that
fund ii would cost very little TO give
an expression of adherence to the dc
tion OF the Attorney General but he
thought ii would be well TO eliminate
the idea of bringing suit against the
Board Of Directors. as II was not ad-
visable to cross a bridge until it was
reached. The receiver appointed ought
TO be a man who would compel the
Directors TO pay back the funds which
had been placed in their hands.

A PROTEST Is MADE
AGAINST A PORTION OF SMITHS MO-
TIoN IN THE FEDERAL COURT.
Houston Creditors Object to His Get
ting the Road Until lie Has
Paid for Ii in Full.

Galveston. Texas, October 22-Houston
creditors Of the La Porte railway came into
the Federal court today ami filed a protest
against certain portions OF the molten OF
l.. j. Smith asking for the confirmation
OF the sale to him.
Those who joined in the protest are the
executors OF the estate of NJ T. Jones. be-
ing A. J. Schureman and others; the Plant
ers' and Mechanics National bank. Theo
Keller, the Houston and Texas Central
Railway company, william Williams and
Sweeney Il Freierlcks. They show tina.
they represent claims against the receivers
OF the road amounting to SIG 200. most OF
which are evidenced by receivers certih-
Gates,
Mr.. Smith in mis- motion to confirm the
sale asked that he be not required to pay
the remainder OF the purchase price,
amounting to SS75o0O, until the matter of
the priority of claims shall have been set
tied by the court and further asked that
the possession OF the road be given to him
at once. 1t is TO this part of Smiths mo-
tion that the protest of the Houston credi-
tors particularly applies. They Join Smith
in the prayer that the sale OF the road be
confirmed, but strenuously object to turn
ing the property over to him. and ask that
he be required to pay the remainder at
once.
They allege that the road is entirely in
solvent and that 1t has been operated for
some time past at a continually increasing
loss. They charge that Smith is not able
10 pay SSi5,000 on his own account and
That he merely bought the road for specula
ton, and Il given possession wouDi run the
road for his own benefit until such time as
ne was compelled to pay the remainder Of
his bid and would then turn the property
back to the court. These creditors claim
that they have no way of receiving paw
ment of their claims except a pro rata OF
u'e proceeds of the sale, ami that any other
course than prompt payment OF all the
purchase money would tend 10 depreciate
the value cf Their holdings.

Plain Statement Showing the Meet

AN ANSWER FROM MR.. HUNTING ION.
Says lie Doesn't Want the Property
offered Him--Arhiy Officers to As
sist in MASTERING Out Immuncs.

Water transportation is great thing
for any city and it Is great thing for
Galveston. This is conclusively demon
strated by the enormous amount of freight
transported by the Houston Direct Navi-
CATION company's steamers and blrges
from Houston to Galveston by its towboats
and barges. Since August 81 the company
has landed 1896 bales of cotton In Gal
weston by way of Buffalo bayou and the
bay, and in addition has transported an
immense amount Of cotton seed products
The amount of cotton is larger than is
brought in by any galway terminating
here, with the exception OF the Gulf, Colo
RADIO and Santa Fee, which brought in 49,
GIL bales. By other water routes Galveston
this season has received 1911 bales, making
total from these sources OF 16i,5S7 bales.
A comparison OF the receipts by water and
by rail is as follows:

what is being done by the water lines in
