FISH DON'T LIKE TRUSTS.
American Fisheries Co. in Hands of
Receiver.

Vice Chancellor Stevens has appointed
Charles B. Hobbs and Thomas Russell re-
ceivers for the American Fisheries Com
pany The company was organized in
1898 with a capital of 100000 preferred
and SIS. .0G0 900 common stock to acquire the
factories, steamships and other property
owned by the various menhaden interests
in the Northern States. The preferred
stock was paid up, while the common
represents patents for the manufacture of
fish phosphates.
Receiver Hobbs, who is of the law firm
of Clifford, Stearns & Hobbs, said yester-
day
ssFor two seasons the catch has been
exceedingly small and the company has
not been able to prove the value of the
patents acquired. 1t was, therefore, deem
ed essential by the management that the
company be reorganized on different
basis Of capitalization. and arrangements
have been practically made to that end
There has been money in the menhaden
business in seasons when the catch was
good The company employed investiga-
tors at large expense to endeavor to
find out where the fish had gone to. One
man was sent to South America and there
was also an investigation along the Pa
cific Coast. The menhaden were finally
located in the Gulf of Mexico along the
Texas coast and one factory has been es-
tablished by the company in Texas.

REPUBLICAN COMMITTEES
Woolley Will Probably An
nounce Them at County
Meeting Tomorrow
Night.

A monthly session of the Republican
County Committee is scheduled for to-
morrow night in Lincoln Hall. Chairman
Woolley, who has put off announcing his
committees for two months, will appoint
them at tomorrow nights meeting. The
Appeals Committee, the so-ealled court OF
justice of the County Committee, where
all complications and disputes as to rights
of membership are decided, was selected
at the last meeting This committee also
tries disloyal Republicans and in many
cases suspends them, but sometimes only
suspends judgment if the offender hap
pens to he thorough machine man. This
committee now has a number of interest
ing cases to pass judgment on. These
decisions may be made tomorrow night.
There is little doubt as to who will be
on the Executive Committee, a committee
which all Republican committeeman long
to represent. 1t is generally acknowledged
that the members of this committee are
leaders of the wards they come from.
Hence the Importance of the office and
the position a member attains in being on
this star committee. The committee of
last year will be made of pretty much the
same for this year. Aaron S. Baldwin S
place is to be filled, but who the lucky
one is has not been mentioned. Imme-
dfately after the session of the general
body the Executive Committee will or
ganize. The present chairman is Edward
Fry of the Seventh ward.
II is said on all sides among Republi-
cans that Chairman Fry has done more
to amalgamate the disrupted factions of
the party in the last year than any of the
leaders. He worked for months with the
Organization Committee, and his labors
have been appreciated. He will doubtless
be reappointed Chairman, a position
every Republican committeeman says he
deserves.
There are several other committees To
be announced. These are Patronage
Printing, Finance and Organization.
These committees will organize within
the month elapsing between the meet
ings.
Chairman Woolley will probably discuss
his recent trips to Trenton in the inter
ests of several measures which would
benefit the Republican party, and in do
ing so he may also state that his trips
were not productive of as much success
as he anticipated.

HIS MOTHER SUPPORTS HIM
Mace Dislikes Nevin's Decision
and Refuses to Give
a Bond.

William Mace, thirty-eight years old, of
No. Lienau place, lost his temper this
morning in the First Criminal Court when
a decision was rendered against him by
Police Justice Nevin, and showered a vol
ley of abuse upon the Court. Mace was
arraigned on charge of non-support,
brought by his wife Margaret, and or
dered to give a bond in the sum of $40
to insure payment of 81 a week toward
her support. The nature of such bond
was explained to Mace, who said he would
not agree to it.
Poormaster Hewitt, who appeared
against Mace, told him that his agree
ment was not necessary and that he
would have to obey the order of the
court.
If there is any appeal from this deci-
sion shall take steps to set it aside,
said Mace
Very WELL" said Justice Nevin. Judge
Blair will try the appeal if you wish
Then Mace accused the Court of not
doing justice to him and spoke in an in
sulting manner.
"Can you furnish bond in the sum of
s25o?' asked Justice Nevin.
mo, cannot" replied Mace.
'"Then 1 commit you to one year in
prison for default of the bond
More insults and abuse on the part of
Mace followed as he was led to the cell.
Mrs Mace, in her complaint. told the
Court that she had received but $40 from
her husband in a year and that she was
compelled by his treatment to leave hls
house and go to her people at No. 629
hn caid
Mace was drunkard and would not even
support his thirteen year old son, who
should be at school instead of trying to
earn a living.
Mace admitted his wife's statements
with the exception of that part which ac-
cused him of being drunkard and said
he was unable to support his wife OF
himself Mace is six feet tall, weighs
about 200 pounds and looks very healthy
He said that his mother supported him
and his son and that she was willing to
support the wife.

The commonplaceness of their methods
palled especially upon Thomas Murtha,
when the trio reached No. S22 Henderson

secondhand furniture business. chair
which was outside Snyder's door appealed
to Murtha and he grabbed it up and the
three men ran through Henderson street
pursued by the storekeeper.
Chanceman Uundon was on duty at
Mercer and Henderson streets when the
men reached that point. The officer
caught hold of Sanborn and Houlihan and
a hard struggle followed in which the
policeman was getting slightly the worst
of it, when William Thompson. an en-
ploye in the City Hail. went to his assist
ance and the two men were subdued.
Murtha in the meantime continued along
Henderson street until he reached Mont
gomery street, where Matthew Rooney, a
clerk in the City Collectors office, grabbed
him and held him until officer Dundon ar
rested him.
The three men were arraigned in the
First Criminal Court before Police Jus
tice Nevin this morning. Murtha was
charged with petit larceny and was sent
to jail in default of s25 fine. Sanborn
and Houlihan were charged with being
disorderly persons and were sentenced to

are becoming annoyed and we have come
to the conclusion that we will put stop
to it.
Another thing. The men of the de-
partment are seen upon the streets with
part of their uniforms and part citizens
dress, smoking. We have also concluded
to put a stop to this, as the firemen all
have their uniforms and they should
make creditable appearance Iney
must strictly adhere to the rules in the
future and any member being brought be-
fore the Board on either of the above
charges will be dealt with in a proper
manner"

who now languishes in Jail awaiting trial
on charge of atrocfous assault and bat
terry. The two men were employed in
Dixons Crucible Works on the same job
Their business is to prepare the material
used in the raw state and parts of the
work demand the use of a mallet, knife
and shovel 1t is said that when en-
ployes of the place are not carefully
watched the work is not properly done.
This is the point that caused the trouble
yesterday morning at eight O'clock.
The Superintendent left the department
and Murphy says that Anton refused to
do the work properly. Bad blood has OK
listed between the two for a year and
Murphy saw an opportunity to score a
point against his enemy. He threatened
to inform the superintendent of Anton S
methods. The latter opened volley of
abuse on Murphy and a struggle ensued.
Murphy says that Anton hit him on the
head with a mallet, knocking him down.
He then picked up knife to defend him
self, and again the two clinched, slrug-
Cling for possession of the knife.
In the struggle Anton's hand was cut
and he got away. He then picked up a
shovel, Murphy says, and struck him over
the head, inficting an ugly cash.
Anton then fled in fear of the police,
who were later notified. Detectives Lee
and Bumstead were assigned to the case
and they spent all day looking for the
fugitive. His home was watched and the
city searched. He was found last night
sneaking home and was arrested.
Murphy will not be able to appear in
court until Monday, when the case will
be heard.
