plicaton made by Dellarifa G. Richardson and
her cousin. Emily Emmett, to be relieved from
further examination with regard to the property
owned by the late Joseph Richardson. the owner of
Spite House. who left an estate variously esti-
mated from 100000 to $1,000 600. Miss Richard
is his daughter by his first wife and Miss En-
NETT his niece. Both the women have opposed
every attempt at service of legal documents on
them by subpoena servers from the Supreme and
Surrogate's courts
]. Jaffred Butler the temporary administrator,
wants to have them examined with reference TO Sc
curities belonging to the Joseph Richardson estate
which he wants TO recover
The ground which the two women asked 10 be
relieved from further examination was their alb
horrence of appearing in court alleging that II
Miss Richardson were compelled to come TO court

organization in telling Mr. Coler that he let
up in his attacks Corporation Counsel Whalen
and pushing his Legislation at Albany is not
much for the purpose of accedlng the wishes
of Tammany Hall it is desire to embarrass
the Controller in return for his action on the water
plant question.
1t also said that the proposition was made
to Mr.. Coer that if he would forget all about the
water supply company the borough organization
would come out fiatfooted in his behalf and order
It's senators and AsSemblymen Albany to do
everything in their power to forward his bills.
The Controllers answer to the gentlemen repre-
Senting the organization that in the matter of
the Long Island Water Supply Company he was
simply acting as the Controller of the City of New
move him. He does not believe the city should pay
more than $4,000 for the Long Island Water SUP
ply plant, the amount that awarded by the
supreme Court of this State and confirmed by the
United States Supreme Court.
In Mr.. Coler's judgment the city should acquire
this plant as soon possible in order secure
the benefits that may be derived from its occupa-
ton by the city. 1t is understood that Mr. Coler
as to how much the water company should re-
ceVe, but Will take decisive secure the

JUDGE BROWN DENIES PETITION OF MINOR
CREDITORS.


Judge Brown, in the United States District Court
has denied the petition Of few small creditors of
Harper & Brothers, the publishers, to throw the
corporation into bankruptcy. He bases his denial
on a recent decision of the United States Court of
Appeals for this district in the of the Empire
Metallic Bedstead Company. that the appointment
of receiver and transfer of property in legal
proceedings for dissolution, under precisely sim
liar circumstances as the present case. were not
equivalent TO a general assignment for creditors
and did not constitute act of bankruptcy. The
only question in the case of Harper Brothers
presented for decision is whether not the pro-
ceedings instituted for the dissolution of the
poration and the appointment of receiver consti-
tuted an act of bankruptcy. No other act of bank
ruptcy charged or proved
In view of the decision in the Empire Judge
Brown thinks the petition should be denied No in
reference with the present administration of the
firms affairs, holds Judge Brown should be had
by any adjudication in bankruptcy unless 1t is
sonaby certain that winding up under the State
law is an act Of bankruptcy under the existing law
There seems to be much doubt that point in
view of the decision referred to- that the proper
course, he says, is to deny adjudication of ba nix
ruptcy at this Time leaving the petitionng
ors II so advised, to present the question to the
Appellate Court upon appeal from this decision.
