CURED IN DAKOTA Is LEGAL.

Justice Dickey in deciding that Mrs Naomi Voice
Hollister had not secured legal divorce in Dakota
from Charles Hollster. of Mount Vernon, before
she had married HIM Mr. Valentine said: Il
don't mind the truth being told about but when
base lies are resorted TO. l resent It. This thing
is all wrong, and II is cruel. Go and see my law
yer, Thomas F. Curran, and he will tell you why .
To all further questions concerning the case Mr..
Valentine refused TO make any answer
Mr. Curran was not in the city. His managing
clerk however said that the stories published were
erroneous. lie added:
I'm afraid some one has blundered otherwise
some one had object in furnishing the press with
tissue of falsehoods. Why, Judge Maddox did
down a decision. bur that decision a decree OF
absolute divorce granted HOLSTER from his wife,
who is Mrs Edward Valentine. The not
contested, as Mr. Curran maintains that Mrs. VAL
entines divorce procured in Dakota is legal, our
appeal from Justice Dickey's decision IN the case

SAY ,SEARLE.S IS BANKRUPT.
PETITION TO HAVE HIM ADJUDGED so
FILED FOR SEVERAL CREDITORS

petition filed in the federal court in
Brooklyn yesterday tave the affairs of John E
Searles wound up in bankruptcy. The petition was
Aled by William w. Cook, Of No. "A Wall-st-. as
the attorney for the petitoners-the Western Re-
National Bank of Warren, Ohio; the Duluth
Furnace Company. of Duluth Mimi. and Thomas
E Thomas. of Niles. Ohio-whose aggregate claims
against Mr. Searles exceed $4,000 This proceed
ing takes the administration of the property out
OF the hands of Edward F. Dwight. TO whom Mr.
searles made assignment few days ago.
When Mr.. Cook made this statement;
There are several reasons why / filed this petit
tion in bankruptcy. In the first place II is great
advantage to the unsecured creditors to have thls
done. If the winding up OF the estate should pe
left 10 the assignee for the beneft or creditors an
secured creditors would participate in the re-
naming assets without any deduction on account
OF their security II, on the other hand lhe estate
is wound UP under the Bankruptcy act, the Sc
cured creditors first deduct from their claims
the value of the collateral before they are allowed
participate in the distribution of the general
assets. This Will make great difference 10 the
category
bankruptcy court the creditors and the court con
troll the proceedings: but if the estate Is admins
tered by the assignee for the benefit of creditors
there is practically little control over ms acts
Within certain limits he does about as he pleases.
Again the winding up Of the estate in bankruptcy
is quicker and cheaper.
John f. Searles has resigned 5 president OF the
American Type Founders Company, and his resig-
nation has been accepted. The vice-president Rob
ert NJ. Janney of Joseph VI. Shoemaker & Co,
bankers of Philadelphia. Will act as president
until the election of Mr.. Searless successor AT the

on March 13. Robert w Nelson. the general man.
ager, will continue in active management, as hero
tofore It is announced that the type founders
company has no connection with Mr.. Searles's per-
sonal affairs, and is not in any way affected by
his assignment. The company is prosperous and
its business Is larger than al any time IN It's MS
