Is A BANKRUPT.
by, Since His Wife Has Plenty to
Keep Him in Luxury.

New York, July 12.-Albert Crosby,
of Brewster, Mass, and formerly rich
and prominent in Chicago, where he
owned Crosby's opera house and the Nc
Avoy Brewing company, was examined
in bankruptcy proceedings here Tues
day. In his petition he described his
assets as consisting of a few old clothes.
He lives in handsome home on Cape
Cod. Mrs. Crosby testified that she
owns ..> estate at Brewster, has $780,
600 cash in bank, mortgages for $16o, 900
more, real estate valued at $4,000 and
furniture and paintings valued at $12,-
900, besides her claim for $50, 900 against
Mr.. Crosby for advances made by her
to him from time to time. Mr.. Crosby
said he had owned nothing since 1875,
when he gave his all to his wife. Since
then he has lived by borrowing from
her, he asserts. They usually spend the
winters abroad and the summers at
Brewster.
A. Gage, city treasurer of Chicago, who
defaulted in a very large sum. BY buy
ing timber lands and making barrels
in Indiana Mr.. Crosby contracted debts
of $4,000 in that state. Judgments
were obtained against him in Indiana,
and the city of Chicago also got judg-
ment for 100000. 1t was found that he
had no assets.
On examination Tuesday he said he
was very fond of his second wife and
very grateful TO her for saving many
of his most valuable paintings at the
. time of the fire. Therefore he gave her
property. Real estate, railway and
brewing stocks were all turned over to
her. He retained only his position as
vice president of the McAvoy Brewing
company, and in that capacity as an
employe of corporation in which he
had no interest drew a salary of 81 900
a month and Travelled in Europe. He
and his wife remained abroad several
years and were lost sight of. Four
years ago Judge Winfield, while spend
ing a summer on Cape Cod, was taken
to Brewster to see some of the show
places there. Among others was the
Crosby art gallery. The name of Cros-
by is common there and did not attract
his attention, but the chief picture in
the gallery, Biersladt's Gin the Yose.
mite" is not common. Judge Winfield
had seen it often in Chicago. Being the
lawyer for the Jerolomon estate, one
of the largest Indiana creditors, Judge
Winfield Immediately began suit in
Massachusetts, and secured judgments
there against Mr.. Crosby, which the SUI

affirmed. Mr.. Crosby then came to thi.
city, and, claiming residence here, filet

SUBMARINE, VESSELS.
Doubt as to Their Adoption by the
Navy Department
Another Test Of the Holland to
Be Made-Demand That She
Ran Submerged fer
Two Mica.

There is division of expert opinion
within the navy in regard to the SUBJ
marine boat, which is still in it's ex-
detrimental stage. The construction
board at Washington came to no con-
clusion the other day, although it i'm
piled it's favorable view of the subma-
rne boat in warfare. The question was
presented by the fact that the Holland.
the boat in New York, is nearly ready
for official inspection. The naval Off
GERS detailed to conduct the trial re-
qured that certain important changes
be made in the boat and that trained
crew be assigned to the work of operat-
ing it. This has been done and the boat
will be tested shortly by the naval
board of inspection and survey, with a
view, the projectors hope, to the pur-
chase of the craft by the navy depart
ment.
Now the board of inspection has laid
down rules governing the trial which
are deemed excessive by the designers
of the boat. One requirement to which
objection is made is the demand that
the Holland shall run for two miles in a
submerged state. The experts in the
navy department differ as to the sever
ity of this requirement. Some of them
think the run for that distance is no
more than should be exacted of q sub
marine boat and that if the designers
are confident of the prowess of their
ship they need not fear the require
ments of the distance the ship shall run
under the surface.
The matter has been laid over until
the return of Rear Admiral Hichborn
the chief constructor of the navy, who
is believed to be not especially in favor
of submarine construction. There is nc
doubt about the strategic value of such
craft, but there are so many difficulties
of construction and SO many great dan
gers attending the submerged ship!
that conservative officers of the navy
are not enthusiastic over the idea.
