KRETOL CHEMICAL
COMPANY TO RESUME

injustice to ladies and gentlemen whose
whole lives have been spent here, and
whose every acts are beyond reproach
Some OF the allegations in the bill seem
TO Impeach the integrity of some of the
directors Of the company. They have
been guilty beyond doubt of some sins
of omission, but that they have been
guilty of sins OF commission cannot be in
timated.
Most of them are people who are un-
familiar with the business methods of
corporations. and have permitted things
to be done which they should not have
permitted to be done while acting in a
tiduciary capacity. But it is not true
that the so-called unlawful dividends
have been paid with the consent or by
direction of the board.
They were paid from the company S
office. and out of the company's capital.
but the board of directors not only did
not order it, but in most cases were ig-
norant of what was going on. These divi-
dends were not paid pro rata to all
stockholders. but only to some, while
others received nothing. Neither is it
true that large salaries were paid to the
directors. they never received any
compensation other than 81 each for each
NEE. ng that they attended
til Not Participate in Dividends.
- hose on the board did not participate
in the dividends, and the statement that
they received large sums In this way is
false. l make this statement in order
that the community may be set right on
the moral aspect of the question. and also
to assure everybody that the present re-
ceivership is entered into for the purpose
Of best conserving all with the least pos
sible expenditure and with the object. as
expressed in the order. of Immediately
marshaling the companys assets. start
ing up its works along business lines and
rehabl.tating the company's affairs, start
ing it along the lines for which it was
originally organized"
While a careful examination of the
books of the company has not yet been
made. and it is impossible to reliably es-
innate the present condition of its af
fairs, il is believed that II the stOckhold-
crs refrain from throwing distractions in
the way of the receivers. it will only
be matter of time when the worth of
the product will reassert itself. and all
those who have placed money in the COM
pany will find their property safe and af-
fording them a reasonable return upon
the investment.

and Mr. Ward were not present In court
when Mr.. Nicolls announcement was made
nation Of the court.
Later in the day when the case was
called, Mr.. Kiddle said that he would file
his brief, but that the counsel for the
other clubs. namely, James P Northrup,
for Pittsburg; John NJ. Ward. for Brook
lyn. and Colonel Rogers. for Philadelphia

Mr.. Northrup said he would agree to filing
q brief.
Ward Rreferred to Speak.
Colonel Rogers said that he much pre-
ferred making an oral argument, but if
he was not to hear Mr. NicoIl's npnoSiuo
argument he would decline to go into the
merits of the case. Mr.. Ward asked Cor
nelius Sullivan. colleague of Mr. Nieoll,
whether he would object to his arguing

be argued

authorities to show that the bill of com

Colonel Rogers added few words after
Mr.. Ward had concluded. Briefs from all

DOWNING MAY Be
WANTED IN new YORK
Thought to Have Been Con-
nected With Robbery There.
Detective to Be Sent Here From Metrop-
oliS-f Not Wanted Prisoner
Will Be Tried Here.

The detectives now believe that Doug
rested Monday night on complaint made
by young woman who accompanied the
prisoner here from Charleston. s. c., may
be wanted in New York City for alleged
larceny.
a despatch received from New York last
night stated that Downing was under in
vestigation there, and that he might be
sent for in connection with robbery
which occurred in December. 1899 The
despatch further stated that warrant
had been issued over two years ago for
man thought to be the prisoner.
Said to Answer Description.
With the matter in this shape 1t was
uncertain last night whether Downing
would be tried here or sent to New York
An officer from the metropolis will come
here today. The Information at hand is
that one Douglas Downing, whose descrip-
tion is said to answer that of the prison
er, was implicated in the robbery of a
watch from Arthur Pack, formerly a pho
tographer in this city. Pack could rot
be located last night. His name does not
appear in the city directory since 1899
1t IS said he was in New York City at
the time he was relieved of his watch
Captain Boardman states that Downing
will be tried here for larceny if he is rot
wanted in New York. The young woman
from Charleston, who came here with him
complains that Douglas took possession of
her trunk. The trunk was put in storage
and is now in the possession of the po-
lice. Downing is charged with its theft.

WHAT THE FLAG CARRIES WITH IT.

Whether the Constitution follows the
Flag is an academic question which may
or may not have practical hearing.
Here is picture of absolutely practical
and visible results, which no one can
deny, and which offset Il thousandfold all
the alleged Philippine atrocities, even
supposing that there is any basis of truth
for the stories of them:
''As an earnest of what the United
States will ultimately do in the Philip
pines, it is well to look ut what has been
accomplished in Porto Rico. 1t is re-
markable object-lesson. Spain did not
build a single schoolhouse in Porto Rico
in 400 years. Besides the hundreds of
rented buildings, we built and opened %
well-equipped graded school buildings in
one year There We're but few pupils at
the beginning, but now there are $1,000,
with 934 teachers. There are SO schools.
besides a fine normal school, now in
operation. What does it mean? 1t means

that is not all we have done in Porto
Rico. BY sanitation, more work and bet
ter food. We reduced the death-rate from
the 10 leading diseases, from 1918 in
1900. to T,I21 in 1901. reduction of
10,39T in one year. Still further, we
have marvelously increased the islands
exports and imports. But. above all. we
have put faith hope and courage into the
hearts of n million of people. who, before,
were crushed beneath four centuries of
oppression and despotism. We have led
these people ont of captivity. just as
Moses led the lSraellteS out of their 400
years bondage in Egypt. Instead of be-
ing compelled to make bricks without
straw for their oprressors, we have put,
and are putting. the means into Their

1.-THE DEADLIEsT BATTLE-GROUND ON
EARTH

Under this caption Gen. ST. Clair Null
holland writes a page article for the
Philadelphia Ledger descriptive of some
of the events around Fredericksburg. As
to the terraine he says:
about II miles south from Fredericks-
burg is Spottsylvania Court House, and
about the same distance west, perhaps 4
little more, is the Wilderness Tavern.
Draw line from each of these points
to the others-from Fredericksburg 20
Spottsylyania, thence TO the Wilderness
Tavern, and back again to Freder,cks-
burg-and you will have a triangle in
which were fought several of the great
est battles of the civil war. Or, perhaps
better STILL draw circle-say II miles,
or a little more, in diameter-with Fred
ericksburg, Spottsylvania and the Wilder
ness Tavern on the outer edge, and inside
that circle were fought the battles of the
first and second Fredericksburg, Chancel,
louisville, Salem flights, the Wilderness,
Pc River. Todds Tavern, Laurel Hill,
Spotisylvania, Spottsylvania Court House,
Mine Run, and several minor fights and
engagements.

haps, been killed and wounded than on
any ground Of equal area on earth"

his assertion with perhaps" There
