WILL PUNISH FRAUDS.
National Credit Mems Association
Is Determined to Reward Honesty.

e. A. Young. of the firm of Finch, Van
Slyck, Young & Co.. the only Northwest
ern member of the board of directors Of
the National Credit Mems association, re-
turned yesterday from attending a meet
ing Of the directors held in Chicago Tues
day. Several matters of vital Importance
to credit men and jobblng and mercantile
houses We're taken up for consideration.
The principal action Of the directors was
In the establishment of a fund for the
prosecution of merchants making fraudu-
lent failures Speaking Of the meeting,
and explaining the purpose Of the fund,
Mr.. Young said last night:
THE meeting of the directors was an
important one for merchants throughout
the United States, and the matter OF
fraudulent failures furnished the most
important topic Of discussion For years
Jobblng houses everywhere have had trou-
BILE through failures, which should have
been no failures at all, and the operations
of class Of men who have deliberately
chosen to close their doors to their credit
ors when their businesses, if properly
managed, might have been made to pay
liabilities The losses from such occur
renceS have been numerous and have fur
nished an onerous burden which merchant
and especially jobbing creditors have had
to bear.
''The matter was taken up at length by
the directors, eleven in number, and rep
resenttng every section of the country,
and plan adopted whereby such failures
promise to become less numerous in fu-
ture. 1t was unanimously voted to set
aside fund Of $4,000 for the prosecution
of cases such as I have mentioned
The details Of the plan give promise
OF making 1t satisfactory and efficient
In each case where a failure occurs, the
local credit mems association will look
INTO the matter and investigate it's hon
esty. Where there seems to be evidence
that the affairs of the bankrupt concern
have not been honestly handled. the local
attorney Of the national association will
make an investigation. Such evidence as
he gathers will then be submitted to a
committee, yet to be appointed by the d.
rectors, which will review the facts, and
in cases where 1t seems advisable recon-
mend prosecution. The matter will not
be taken up for prosecution by the ma
tional association, however, until each
creditor of the delinquent debtor has
agreed to make no compromise and ac
cept no settlement
We are going after these fraudulent
debtors in the most decided and aggress-
i've manner 1t is the purpose of the as
sociatfOn to land every man who makes
fraudulent failure behind the bars. This
Is the reason we have recommended no
compromises or settlements in such cases.
The voluntary bankruptcy matter,
which has Occasoned considerable discus
sion lately, was also considered No ac-
ton was taken, however, as the last ses-
sion Of the national association, held in
Buffalo, thoroughly reviewed the matter
and made lengthy recommendations"

lamps. Frequent complaints have been
made about street lights being out at
night and in almost every case it deveI.
ops that the glass has been broken from
the lamps. One of the boys alleged
to have been guilty of breaking lamps
was arrested last week, but was dis
charged. This leniency seems to have
been taken by the rest of the youngsters
as permission to renew their malicious
pastime, and yesterday the glass was
broken from nine lamps in the same vi

Fathers.
1t was apparent at the meeting OF the
committee on streets of the board of al
dermen Wednesday afternoon that the
plan Of DR.. Ohage to secure $50, 600 with
which to collect and dispose of the gar
bage for next year would not be indorsed
either by the committee, or the members
of the board of aldermen. Three mem
bers Of the committee announced after
the session that they would not vote for
any such plan. and two others, while not
so outspoken, intimated that with some
slight notifications OF the garbage speci-
fcations, and more inspectors, the present
contract system would suit them better
than the expanding of $4,000 under the
supervision of the health department and
commissioner.
In an evening paper last night Health
Commissioner Ohage was quoted in refer
ence to the probable turning down of his
plan by the aldermen in the following
strain:
THE opposition of the aldermen is
founded upon the fact that L will not
agree to appoint the men they suggest.
II made such an agreement 1t would kill
me, and l would rather have the ordi-
nance killed. By agreeing to appoint the
men they desire, I believe the aldermen
would adopt my PLAN"
Aid. Kenny, one Of the members of the
committee who opposed the plan Of DR..
Ohage, when seen last, evening, said he
had read the statement Of the health COM
missioner. Il have never, asked DR..
Ohage," said Aid. Kenny, ''for any posi-
ton or appointment for any man since he
was appointed commissioner. l don't be-
lieVe DR.. Ohage has any more knOWl-
edge or practical ideas Of the collection
of the garbage of this city than l would
have Of writing prescription for one
of his patients. I am informed that it
now takes over $4,000 per year to run the
health department. What would it cost
to collect the garbage?"
Aid. Bell declared that he had never
asked the health commissioner to make
any appointments, and never would. IF
DR.. Ohage is quoted correctly" contin-
ued Mr.. Bell "all I can say is that he
is too narrow in his views to hold the
responsible position he now occupies. I
am opposed to the plan he suggests, for
the reason that in my opinion the work
can be done just as we'll under the pres
ent contract system, with Slight change
in the present specifications, and the ap-
pointment-- of several more garbage in
spectOrs."
Aid Murphy said he did not care what
DR.. Ohage believed about the adoption of
his plan. He knew, from past experience
In the council, that the garbage was bet
ter taken care of by having contractors
in each ward than to have one man in
charge Of the entire city. 81 do not be-
lieve it IS right" said Mr. Murphy, ito
allow any city sefficiaI to have the ex-
penditure of $4,000 In his own hands, and
T
Other members of the board who are
known to be opposed to the plan of DR..
Ohage are Aid. Shepard, Reeves, Blom-
quist and Sanborn, and, while the COM
mittee sent the resolution back without
recommendation, there are enough votes
being defeated when it comes up Tuesday
night.
