Uhe Flrm Will nave SlUU,UO0 OF For
eign Accounts TO Collect this Year
Financial Condition of the Country
Indicated by Great Increase in Bills
Sent Here.
Il could have predicted the pres
ent depression in the financial mar
ket's as early as last January said
a prominent local attorney.
ut was about that time that there
was noticeable increase in the
amount Of foreign accounts sent to
our firm for collection. Since that
time the bills have increased enor
mously till we have now about $50,
900 worth of accounts in our hands
for collection for foreign creditors.
THE pulse of the financial market
can be very accurately judged and
its condition diagnosed by the one
item of bills sent by outside eredi-
tors for collection here.
In the years from 1900 to 1909
when money was plentiful and mar
kets on the rise all the time, it was
easy to get credit and start up in
business. Anybody with reputa
ton for straight forward honesty
could get enough credit to make q
start in business. If his bills were
not met promptly he would be in
dulged in the delay, and his credi-
tors would wait thirty to sixty days.
Money was easy, and prices tending
upward, so there was no hurry for
making collections. An unusually
large number of adventures launched
out in business without adequate
capital to carry it ON through hard
times.
"Yet so lenient we're creditors,
says this attorney, that our foreign
collections for the years 10000
scarcely paid the cost of the periodl-
cal publications we have to take in
order to keep in touch with the
business. it was an era of confidence
and creditors were content to wait.
when bills were not promptly met.
THO J Iut Jul COltGCllOilS Will luOb
up fully 100000 for foreign eredi-
tors. Part of this increase may be
accounted for by the growth OF our
business, but the great bulk of 1t is
due to the changed financial eondi-
tions in the money eenters. and
throughout the country. A declin-
ing market has caused loss of.conf-
dence, and debtors are pushed for
bills on which they would have been
given their own time two years ago.
Besides the large collection
account IN the hands Ethis firm of
lawyers there are about forty other
lawyers at this bar who collect bills.
At least one other firm does a large
business in foreign collections. Out
side these two firms the foreign bust
ness is probably not very large.
But enough has been said to show
the greatly changed financial condi-
lions in even a small city like this
within the past year.

aPADDLING OUT"
Process Causes Sensation in
Fairmont.

Assistant Chief of Police and Jailor Ar
rested on Warrant Charging Assault
Practice of Chastlsing Prisoners
has Gone On for long time.
A sensation was created IN Fair
mont yesterday when Hays Melon
nell, young man who works on a
farm near that city swore out a
warrant for assistant Chief of Police
James Morgan and Prison Keeper
John Jenkins, of the city lookup,
charging them with assaulting him
while he was a prisoner and in the
care Of the city.
Padding out" is the rock on
which McDonnell's patience went to
pieces. padding out" in Fairmont
police and ealaboose circles means a
new and unusual kind ofpunishment
in America.
Padding OUT is the taking of
police court prisoners who have no
money to pay their fines with and
whipping them. The practice was
started long time ago, it is said,
and at first it was customary only to
whip the prisoner with a single or
small board, but it is claimed by
Mcdonnell and others that straps
and barrel slaves are sometimes used
now.
1t is stated by men who nave SUI.
fered this punishment that some
times men have been severely hurt
by it. Once in while man will be
padded who has enough manhood
In him to resent it, and then, it is
stated, there is nearly always trou-
bic. But Hays Mcdonnell, it is said,
is the first one to swear out a war
rant, the majority being afraid to
open sheir mouths about it, it is
said.
Mcdonnell claims he was quite
badly hurt in the alleged beating
which he got. He has employed a
lawyer and says he intends to carry
the case to a finish.
1t is urged by policemen that
padding out is the only way they
can teach the boozers to stay away
from the loekup-to not get drunk.
1t is stated that the average booze
fighter doesn't care cent for going
before the mayor and getting a two
and cost fine for they know the
lookup is small and that only g few
can be accommodated there at one
time,
The police claim that to terrorize
this kind of men they paddle them
out" i they are padded out and
if it is done as Hays Mcdonnell says
it was done to him, they do not like
to so back for more of it.
SAYS a Fairmont citizen,
ut may be the best thing the pc
lice can do, but it is unlawful, just
as unlawful as selling whiskey on
Sunday or running gambling joint
and if it is permitted it will not be
long till it will get so common that
a man will be whipped right out
tied to post. Now it may continue.
OF course it will If council and the
mayor are willing. / have been told
that the mayor knows of the practice
but / do not know that this is true.
/ am sure that council does not"

The offer of L. V. Keek published
in this paper several days ago, to
give the Union Utility Company
free right of way over the so foot
avenue he is grading through his
premises and cash bonus Of $1,000,
on condition that the line be con
strueted through his land, may be
accepted by the company.
AS soon as the offer was made, a
committee was appointed by the
Board of Directors, who went oyer
the new route, and made report to
the board at a meeting held last
night, recommending that survey
and report be made by the engineer.
Prot. Morris, to ascertain grades,
distances, curves and cost This
was ordered done.
Prof, Morris began the work to-
day, and if the report is favorable,
and Mr.. Keck meets with success
among his neighbors in getting
rights oil way, and raising funds,
line to Granville may yet be finished
this Fall. A most friendly feeling
has been shown by Mr.. Keek and
his neighbors, and the line may go
up the Fairmont pike to one OF the
streets extending northward through
the Jacobs land.
Mr.. Keek's offer was made as soon
as the company announced that they
had definitely stopped work on the
river line and abandoned the route.
The people living on the Fairmont
pike may thank the lot owners on
Tower lane for refusing a reasonable
compensation for rights of way, and
driving the company TO take the
upper line.

o. Frank Chase in Trouble.

Randolph acquaintance of the gentle
man involved will be interested In the fol-
lowing item from the Burlington Free
Press
sd. Frank Chase, formerly manager OF
the Queen City Printing company, left
Burlington Friday night without the
knowledge OF his partners in the business
and they now refer to him as an expensive
luxury. Mr.. Chase was associated in
business with J. B. L'Hereux and f. A.
Church and is believed by them to have
taken the south bound train on Friday
evening. They state that he took with
him a considerable sum OF the trims
money, which can only be estimated be-
cause it was made up in part of bills col
lected.
"Mr. Chase became partner of the firm
at the time of its organization about three
months ago. During the month OF Janu-
ary he acted as bookkeeper and II Is stated
that on February a shortage of $3.50 was
discovered. Mr.. Chase promised TO do
better and another man took his place as
bookkeeper. Later settlement was de-
handed by Mr.. Chase's partners and he
agreed to purchase the business on April
i. Ii is claimed that Mr.. Chase then coli
lected bills Of the company and on April
a settlement was demanded. shortly
after a body writ was served upon hum
and bail given. He then disappeared.
at is stated that Mr.. Chase left bis wife
and child with but a small sum OF money.
She has gone TO her home in Bakersfield" "
Some three or four years ago Chase or
gained in this village a concern that he
called the Vermont Mill Supply company
but later turned it into an exchange in the
Howard block that became sort OF depot
for second hand articles. Before very
long he found it expedient to fit away,
leaving numerous creditors, who have
kept his memory green.
