COURSE LEGAL.
American Wooden Co, Can Main.
tain Bankruptcy Proceedings
Against Miner, BeaI & Co.

Boston, June Judge Lowell in the
circuit court today handed down an
important decision, which gives to the
American woolen company the right
to maintain their petition for bank
ruptcy proceedings In the case OF Mi
ner, Beal g. Co, Boston, clothiers.
The American Wooden Company was
practically the only one Of 30 creditors
who dissented from the assignment OF
the firm at the time OF the failure on
the basis of 55 cents on the dollar. on
the ground that 100 cents could not be
paid. They followed this dissent by
petition for bankruptcy proceedings
The law states that II the creditors
OF the concern are more than I'm
number at least three must joln in a
petition FOR bankruptcy. on this ground
those who had consented 10 an assign
ment opposed the action OF the wooden
company, claiming that it's petition
standing alone could not be maintain
cd. The contention OF the petitioners
was that the creditors who had accept
ed the terms OF the assignment could
no longer be considered eligible for
consideration in computing the number
OF creditors in the bankruptcy action.
rms contention was sustained by
Judge Lowell and bankruptcy proceed
ings will be carried on under rhe peti-
ton OF the American company.

FEARS SUICIDE.
Hines Has Himself Adjudgsd
Insane In Order TO Escape
Hanging Himself.

Sodus. N. Y. June by his own
request Frank Hines has been adjudg-
ed insane and an order applied for to
commit him to the State Hospital at
Ovid. Hines has for years been affllct-
ed with a mania about hanging him
self. Fifteen years ago, when Hines
was boy, his father committed sui
eide by hanging and the event made
so strong an impression upon his sons
mind as TO impair it. He has ever since
been haunted with a desire TO hang
himself as his father did.
He has had the barn. where the deed
was committed. torn down, to free his
mind from the association of ideas, and
one by one all the trees near the house
and barn have been chopped down.
STILL at intervals the man was posses
sed with passion for hanging. He has
a Wife and a small son. Last week he
planned deliberately to hang both him
self and his family and pointed out TO
his wife the place and the method he
intended TO pursue. She fed and took
her son. Since then some one has re-
manned in the house TO protect her.
Attorney Harry o. Button went to
Palmyra 10 secure an order from Coun-
ty Judge Sawyer, to commit Hines as
insane. The man says that he il glad
TO go where he may be free from the
fear OF doing violent harm to himself
and his family, against which he has
fought for so many years. Hines In
perfectly rational on all other subjects,
and even when he is controlled by the
suicidal mania he talks calmly and
with apparent understanding OF his
proposed act.

New York, June l-That

happy was demonstrated yesterday
when august Manzoman left st. Vim
cents Hospitatl and took a short stroll
about town.
Surgical science has proved that a
man can get along very well without
a stomach and various Internal organs.
but heretofore. the bone forming his
forehead was supposed to be an es-
sential TO life.
Mr.. Manzoman is musical composer
living at Railway, NJ J.. He is thirty
eight years old and for the past eight
years has been afflicted With nasal poly
pi.
The malady spread. Mr.. Manzoman
was operated upon by specialists In Eu-
rope and this country, but the inroads
OF the disease continued.
Recently ne entered st. Vincent's Tor
treatment and was placed under the
care OF DR.. Francis j. Quinlan, who de-
cided that an operation OF an exception
al mature must be performed to enect
cure.
The operation was witnessed by the
medical staff of the, hospital and
number OF eminent surgeons, including
DR.. j. III. Huddleston, DIR. q. stewart.
DIR. Charles Phelps and DIR. j.. Bissel.
Or. Quinlan removed the whole outer
wall OF the frontal bone.
Mr.. Manzoman suffered no ill-effects
from the operation and healing has
progressed satisfactorily.
In the normal skull there are two
walls of bone between the brain and
the outer skin, the space between the
two walls serving as an air vent.
Yesterday Mr.. Manzoman felt ns well
as he ever did and much better than
for the past eight years. His only
care in future will be to avoid knocking
the front part OF his head against any
thing that might prove too hard for
the single wall of bone. He win leave
the hospital shortly.
The physicians who witnessed the
operation regard II as marking an
epoch in the advancement OF surgery.
