There is no evidence in tho case, and no
claim is made that said bankrupt con
ccalcd any of the goods in his store or
cash in the tlls that was there found

or any cash in the bank that was at
tempted to be concealed.
Ibid the bankrupt have cash secretcd
somewhere or under his control belong
ing to his estate in bankruptcy and not
turned over to his trustee? That is the
question in the case.
Now it appears that the bankrupt re-
ccived from Payctte, Mendelshon & Co..
81 900 in the month of July, 1909, and this
amount did not go into his business. The
bankrupt testified that he intended to in
crease his business blu, instead he
spuandered the maior portion of the 81 900
in dissipation. II appears that there were
several exciting games of base ball played
at Plattsburgh and at st. Adams and the
bankrupt testihes that he got base ball
crazy. That he attended several games
and pools were made tsp and he bought
pools and lost various amounts of money
and kept betting hoping to get back what
he had lost and ii resulted in his losing
more money. That he went to the fair at
Malone. n. V, and bet on horse races
and had lost $50. That he had spent money

Sum OF $676 Must Be Raised This
Mon5h-State Y. M. G. A. Meet
ing Planned

The board of directors of the Young
Mems Christian Association held their
regular monthly meeting Tuesday evening.
The financial matters of the association
received most of their attention. The re-
ports of the treasurer and general sec
rotary revealed the fact that $61j must
be raised by subscription before April
/, if the association is to close it's fiscal
year with all bills paid. On account of
the large increase in membership and the
resulting increase in the general work.
the expenses have been somewhat higher
this year than usual The directors hope
to have all bills paid before their an
nual meeting.
Six hundred and twenty-six members
were reported last evening as against 537
a year ago and i65 two years ago.
Committees were appointed to arrange
for the conference of the state executive
committee and other Y. NJ. c. A. workers
of the State. which is to he held in this
city April H. Is and 49, in connection with
the associations anniversary exercises
On Sunday. April 10, most of the churches
will be supplied with prominent Y. NJ
c. A. speakers from New York and Bos-
ton and there will likely be two large
meetings in the opera house in the after
noon and evening.
4 schedule of prices was adopted for
tho rental of the several rooms of the
association for committee meetings, etc.
1t frequently occurs that as many five
meetings of various organiza tons are
held at the association In one day and
generally people do not think to notify
the association of their meetings. If the
association must give up their rooms for
other than members meetings. thus often
conflicting with their regular work. the
directors thought they should receive a
small rental for the use of such rooms.

The first jury trial to be taken up at the
March term Of Chittcnden county court
WAS begun Thursday morning when the
case of j. ii. Parker vs. Mckannon Bros.

made a contract with Mcl\annon Bros,
who We're to take not over three instru-
ments per week, We're to market them and
were to pay Mr.. Parker a certain per cent
of the profit. This .hey did the plaintiff
claims for several months and then re-
fused to receive more Instruments.
The defendants claim that the contract
was secured fraudulenty, that the plain
tiff abandoned the contract. that he had
an invalid patent and that his patent
was an infringement on another patent.
The case will probably occupy several
days.
The case of j. H. Parker vs.. McKannon
Bros, which has occupied the time of
county court for nearly a week. was
completed Tuesday and is now in the
hands of the jury. Arguments We're made
by Il. w. Taft and T.. c. Mower for the
plaintiff and by Y. A. Billiard and w.
l.. Burnap for the defendants.

of Mayor Hawley. Elhu Il. Taft, acting
mayor, was asked for quarters and sug-
Sested that the room occupied by the city
liquor agency could be secured. The com
mttee on buildings and parks gave their
permission and the commissioners will
have headquarters in those rooms. which
are located on the south side of the City
tIall, west of the police office.
The commissioners have not yet fixed

BASE BALL CRAZY
Alleged Trouble Of Bankrupt Isaac
Cohen, Whose Discharge Was
Objected To,

Referee George w. DebcrVille Mon
day filed his report with George f.. john
ton clerk of the United States courts, in
The matter of the discharge of Isaac
Cohen from bankruptcy. The discharge
of Mr. Cohen was objected to by O. g.
Taylor & Co., and hearings in the mat
Ter were held before Referee Dcbervillo.
The report says The specifications
nllege three statutory offences. The first
alleges in substance that said bankrupt
purchased IL large amount of leaf to-
tacco, much in excess of what he had
previously purchased. and since has sold
said tobacco to Il firm in Plattsburgh,
~ y for a sum much less than the
sum he agreed to pay fOr it, aud that
all OF the money received from said sale
had not wholly gone into his business,
or used by him in payment of his debts,
but is now in his possession, or under
his control from his trustee in bank
ruptcy. The second specification alleges
false swearing in his schedules and the
third alleges a failure to keep books Of
account. etc
The referee says: "Thore is no evil
dcnce in the case that the bankrupt pro-
cured the tobacco by fraudulent means
or representations made to the agents of
whom the purchases were made, nor is
amy claim made by individual principals
that fraud was practiced in the purchase
of the tobacco, and the testimony stands
uncOntradiCted that said tobacco was sold
for all it was worth. Fraud IL not TO be
presumed and it not being shown in the
purchase and sale of the tobacco in qucs-
ton, further consideration of this fea-
ture of the specifications is dismissed
"lt appears that the bankrupt is a
foreigner by birth and when he came to
this country eight or ten years ago could
not speak or write the English language.
but has since learned to do So and his
books as kept show his business trans
actions. SO that the charge of failure to
keep books of account, etc, the referee
finds, is not sustained by the evidence.

that the resolution as read had been sub

dent of the Rutland road. and he had
declared it to be satisfactory to him.
