BUTTERINE TROUBLES
AIRED IN COURT

derstanding that said $4,000 should be
applied to the curtailment of the note
sued upon in this proceeding; that the
money was deposited to the credit OF
the company In the company's treasury.
and instead of being so applied by the
executive board was used up by him
IN payment of other matters, and not a
cent of same was paid upon the indebt-
cdness aforesaid.
That / am reliably Informed by the
bookkeepers of the company that Mrs.
wilkins, the mother of said Walter p.
wilkins, the president of the company
purchased the sum of $4,000 capital
stock of the company; that said Walter
7. wilkins Cancelled said stock, and be-
tween the 26th day of May and the 1st
day of June the said Walter P Wilkins
paid to his mother a sum of $4,000 by
crediting the bill of wilkins &. CO.,
which amounted TO in the neighborhood
OF $4,000. for butterine sold by them
to said company. with the payment of
$4,000. and entering upon the books
Of the company the payment by the COM
pany IN this way OF $4,000 to Mrs Will

her about $3.50 interest upon said money.
Expenses for Promotion.
That in the accounts, as submitted
to us from the expert and the book
keepers of the company. II appears that
under head of so-called promotion ex-
penses and good will for branch houses,
there appears to be direct loss to the
company Of about s95, 1000, expended un-
der the direction and at the instance of
the president of said company, and that
l am advised and believe that practi-
cally all of said money was expended
without the knowledge of the board of
directors; that l am also informed By
the custodians Of the books of the COM
pany. that there has been expended un-
der the direction of said president, and
without any reference to the board of
directors, the sum of over $4,000 dur
ing the last eight months in connection
with telephone and telegraph service of
the company.
II further say that the said president.
without the consent of the board of
directors. furnished the directors room
In a most extravagant style, paying for
the chairs used therein the sum OF SIG
apiece, and for the rug on the floor $500,
and the table cost in the neighborhood
of $780,
The affidavit of Mr.. Lambert was sup
ported by sworn statements submitted
by Mr. Richard Johnson and DR.. Har-
rison Crook, stockholders in the Stan
dard Butterine Company.
Mr.. Wilkins was seen after the hear
ing and asked to make a statement. but
did not do SO. He said he will have
something to say today when he files

pointment Of a receiver.

SECRETARY HAY NOT WELL.
Leaves for Harvard and Will Later
Recreate in New Hampshire Hills.

The Secretary of State and Mrs. Hay
left Washington yesterday morning for
Boston, where they will remain until
after the Harvard commencement, and
then go to their summer home, near
Newberry on Lake Sunapea. y. II.
Mr.. Hay Is not well. and for that rea-
son decided to make the journey to
Boston in the day time, instead of ac-
companying President Roosevelt. who
spent last night on the cars.
1t is not the intention Of Mr.. Hay 10
remain at Lake Sunapee for more than
three Or four days. Should his condi-
tion be improved at that time he will
return here and remain until after Con-
gress adjourns. He Will then go to Lake
Sunapee for the hot season.
Mr.. Hays friends believe that he is
simply tired out. and that his present
iIdisposition will have no serious eff
fects. a coed rest in the New Hamp-
shire hills is regarded as the best tonic
that he can take.

c ERIK of Supreme Court
Files AnsW,r to Petition
for MandamuS.
NOT AUTHORIZED BY LAW
Petitioner for Certificate of Intention to
Become American Citizen Not Includ-
ed in Any Glass With Right to De-
clare Such Purpose.

Mr.. John r. Young, clerk of the Su-
preme Court of the District, yesterday
through District Attorney Gould filed his
answer to the petition OF Antonio NJ
opisco y de Ycaza. asking that writ
o. mandainus should issue to compel him
to grant him certificate Of his inten-
tion to become an American citizen.
Mr.. Young's Answer.
The text Of the answer of Mr.. Young
is as follows:
Ihe petitioner has not in and by his
petition set forth such facts as make IL
lawful for this defendant to receive or
hie in his office, as the clerk of this
court, petitioners declaration of his in
tention to become citizen OF the United
states and to renounce forever all al
legience or fidelity to any foreign prince.
potehtate. state, or sovereignty, and
particularly by name to the prince. no.
tentate, state, or sovereignty of which
petitioner is now or was at the time of
his said application citizen or sub
ject. for the reason that 1t appears in
and by the allegations of the aforesaid
petition that said petitioner was on the
10th day of December, 1898, Spanish
subject. native of the Philippine Is
lands. and residing in the territory over
which the Kingdom OF Spain. by the
treaty OF the date mentioned. relinquish-
ed or ceded her sovereignty, and that
petitioner further continued as an in
habitant Of said territory until the sec
ond day of August, 1901, when he de-
parted therefrom to take up his resi-
dence In the United States OF America.
And this defendant further AYERS
that, inaSmuch as petitioner does not al
iege in his said petition that he took the
steps provided in Article TX OF the
treaty to preserve his allegiance to the
Kingdom OF Spain, by making before a
court Of record within a year from the
date CT the exchange of ratifications of
said treaty, to wit. within a year after
the l1th day of April, 1899, q declaration
of his decision to preserve such ailegi-
ance, 1t is assumed that he intended to
renounce such allegiance, and to adopt
the nationality of the said territory of
the Philippine Islands.
Did Not Preserve Allegiance.
And this defendant further AYERS that
by the terms of the treaty II was pro-
vided that the civil rights and political
status of the native Inhabitants of the
said Philippine Islands shall be deter
mined by the Congress Of the United
States. and that the said Congress has
not, as yet, determined the same.
Wherefore this defendant says that
the petitioner is not included in any
class of persons authorized by law to
declare their intention to become citi-
zens OF the United States. and that
therefore this defendant is without DOW
er or authority to receive petitioners
aforesaid declaration OF his intention"

RECEIVER ASKED
FOR KIDD CLAIM!
Application Filed in District
'' @ Supreme Court.
Affects Certain Moneys Said to Be on
Deposit in United States
Treasury.

Charles c. Tucker and Henry F
late law firm OF Edmunds & Meyers, yes
terday f;e6 a petition in the Supreme
Court OF the District. asking for the
appointment OF receiver to take
charge of a certain fund now In the
United States Treasury. The fund Is
known as the Kidd claim. and Is claim
ed by Mrs. Mary o. King. Of Kinds coun-
ty, Miss, as executor of the estate OF
Thomas Kidd The senior member OF
the firm Of Edmupds G. Meyers was the
late Senator George F. Edmunds.
1t is stated that in 1886 Mrs. Mary o.
King, who is named as one of the de-
PENDANTS in the present proceedings, en-
tered into an agreement with Senator
Edmunds for the prosecution OF a claim
amounting to s13,460 against the United
States. which. it was alleged, was due
the estate OF Thomas Kidd. Mr.. Ed
munds formed partnership with Mr..
Gilbert Meyers for the purpose OF the
prosecution OF the claim. The necessary
by the United States was enacted by
Congress on May 27 last. and the Treas
urer. Roberts. was authorized TO pay
the fund to the legal claimants.
Made Sole Executrix.
In the meantime. C. l.. Kidd, one OF
the executors of the estate OF Thomas
Kfdd and Senator EdrnundS died Pro-
ceedingg were then instituted for the
settlement of the estates of c. L. Kidd
and Thomas Kidd. As result, Mrs.
Mary o. King was made sole executrix
of the estate OF Thomas Kidd and C.
l.. Kidd The legislation referred to
was pending at the time. and receivers
were named to administer the estate of
Senator Edmunds, sn far as his partner
ship with Mr.. Meyers was concerned.
These receivers entered into commu-
with firm of lawyers IN Mis-
sissippi to obtain authority to collect
the funds in the United States Treasury
after the passage OF the
law authorizing its payment. II was
then learned that William Montgomery
had been authorized by Mrs. King to
collect the money, and he claimed one
third of the amount as his fee. This was
agreed to by the receivers, who asked
for the execution of proper papers that
they might get possession of the funds.
This Mr.. Montgomery refused to do, be-
cause he had also taken steps to col
ect the funds himself.
The Washington times., 1902-06-25
Both Trying to Collect.

1t appears that both sets OF counsel
have been taking steps to collect the
claim, one party recognizing 1t as par,
OF the assets OF the estate OF Senator
Edmunds. and the other that of Thom-
as Kidd
Now the complainants. the receivers
OF the Edmunds estate, ask that Mrs.
King and Mr. Montgomery be enjoined
from receiving. and that Ellis H. Rob-
erts, Treasurer OF the United States, be
restrained from paying out this fund,
pending the appointment of a receiver
to take charge of 1t and distribute It
