The decision of J. VI. Helmick, ref
cree in bankruptcy for this district,
has been sustained by Judge Nc
Pherson in the case of Emily Malitz,
bankrupt. Sometime ago Attorney
Isaac Petersberger, who represented
number of creditors, filed an appli-
cation. the intent of which was to
compel Mrs. Malitz TO turn over $3.50
worth of goods. After hearing the
testimony the referee decided that
the bankrupt was not chargeable
with those goods. The evidence
showed that she had taken out S25
worth of goods for family use, which
the referee held to be exempt. Mrs.
Malitz also had kept out S25 in money,
which the referee ordered turned
over to the trustee.

WANTED To
CARRY GUNS
Police Department
pestered for
Permits

All day long yesterday High Sheriff
Brown and Deputy Sheriff Chilling
worth were pestered with applications
for permission to carry firearms. In
the majority of cases the applicants
were business and professional men,
who stated that while they did not ex-
pect to be held up. they wanted to be
prepared for emergencies, and as they
had no desire to infringe the law, de-
cfded to ask for the necessary permit.
Among the applicants were three doc
tors.
They were told by Sheriff Brown
that he could give them no permit to
carry a gun unless they were COM
missioned as special officers. He said.
however, that if they thought they
needed protection in the shape Of a re-
volver, they could go ahead and carry
one without interference from him,
unless they shot some innocent per-
son. in which case they were warned
it would go hard with them.
I'll guarantee" said Sheriff Brown
to a reporter last night, that If the
audience at the Orpheum were search
ed fifty guns would be found. L don
mind a man carrying a gun provided
he brings US a man at the end Of it
now and again.
There are undoubtedly q lot Of un-
employed at present in town, but L
am of the opinion that the present
scare IS exaggerated. People hear OF
a hold-up and think so much about it
that they get to be afraid of their avn
shadows. Then, again, / am of the
opinion that a lot of curiosity seekers
are going around of a night looking
for footpads, burglars and the like.
These individuals are seen prowllng
about in the dark by other persons,
who in turn take them for footpads.
and so the thing grows and the town
is reported to be alive with criminals.
II don't think that the Porto Rican
has got quite enough IN him to hold
any one up. He gets hard up and hun
cry. and approaching an individual,
asks him for assistance. He Is taken
for a highwayman and his reputation
suffers. The negro is undoubtedly
bad man, and will not hesitate to back
up his demands with a gun, or to shoot

terday evening with lights. and was
decorated with the flags of many ma

by Mrs. Wilcox for the members of
the Home Rule central committee and
other invited guests. The affair was
a delightful surprise to those who at

hospitality of the hostess. The Ha-

while the guests We're assembling, and
a quintet club of Hawaiians played
and sang the airs of Hawaii nei dur

The luau was to have begun at 8

tables. When Prince Cupid arrived he
was escorted to the head of the longest

be recognized as a fair and impartial
one. in that the men who are chosen
for the long term are those who re-

1t is believed that as soon as the
Home Rulers find that it Is the inten-

once in the matter, they will take up
the fight There have never been chos-

there is some question over the close

there would be welcoming of the fight
