7WO.TONS OF SOAP GIVEN
TO EAST SIDE RESIDENTS
Was in Vats of Kelly's Borax
Soap Factory Now Being
Torn Down

There Is no reason why the people of the
East Side in the neighborhood of Third and
Railroad should not keep clean. Almost
two tons of soap was distributed through
that locality yesterday.
The work of tearing down kelly's BoraX
Soap Factory began and in the bottom Of
the three big watts that are sunk fifteen
feet I'm the ground was the soap. The
easiest way to get It out was to. shovel it
and two men cut Off large cakes Of the
pure white cleansing material and threw
n out like dirt from a hole.
A crowd soon gathered and people be-
gan taking the soap home. The news
spread quickly and from all directions
came people with boxes and other things
to carry IL away. The contractors were
glad to get rid of IT 50 easily and did not
molest those who came.
The Vats are so heavy and deeply settled
in the ground that they will have to be
broken in pieces before they can be re-
moved.
The tearing down Of the factory is being
done so that the work of the elevated
railroad may be started in that locality.

Gray, of this city, and John G. john

Mr.. salisbury opened for the plain

made. In this State" said Mr. Sauls-
bury, there were only beneficial con-
tracts drawn up for operation, and did
not involve the removal OF poles and

During AR Saulsbury's argument Mr..
Johnson suggested that there be a
stay of action until the Supreme Court
OF the United States gives a decision In
a similar case heard recently IN New

Extent of the Manipulation of
Paper of Shipbuilding
Trust
THE SUIT BROUGHT BY h, 7, CAUSE
He Will Try to En- force the Trust Com
pany to Fulfil the Contract Made
During the Presidency of Dresser
Who Is Now III

New York, June 19.-Dehnite figures as
to, the extent of ID. Leroy Dressers ma
nipulation of the paper Of the United
States Shipbuilding Company and the
credit Of the Trust Company of the Re
public, of which he was the head may be
made public today. The stockholders and
former officers of the Trust Company of
the Republic will meet this morning to
learn what Stuyvesant Fish, George c.
Boldt and Winthrop E. scarritt who have
been investigating the affairs of the Trust
Company, with the aid of expert account
ants and legal advisers. have learned.
One of the three investigators, who has
personally paid out 100000. it was stated
last night had told the others that he
would vote in favor of the most rigorous
treatment of Mr.. Dresser henceforth.
1t was positively asserted by men
who are in close touch with the affairs
of the Trust Company of the Republic
that Mr.. Dresser's Vanderbilt connec-
tions, who were behind the syndicate
formed for the purpose of paying his
silk business debts, are not interested
in later liabilities In proof of this as
sertion it was pointed out that Henry
II. Anderson, counsel for George w
Vanderbilt is bringing suit against the
trust company on behalf of Henry T.
Cause, who was president of the Har-
Ian and Hollingsworth Company, Of
Wilmington, to try to force the trust
company to fulfil contract made dur
ing the presidency of Mr.. Dresser, un-
der which the trust company agreed to
guarantee the sale of the securities of
the Wilmington company at a round
price.
II was first announced at meeting
of DR.. Dresser's creditors, in the office
of his counsel, NJ. ]. Hirsch, on April z
that all the claims of Mr.. eDresser's s
creditors would be paid i'm full within
ninety days. In view of the discov-
cries, which are said 20 have been made
during the investigation of the affairs
of the Trust Company of the Repub-
lie, there is a feeling among the cred
itors that perhaps they were too credu-
lous in accepting the promise of pay.
In consideration of this promise. they
withdrew the suit which had been be-
gun to place the firm of Dresser &
Co. i'm voluntary bankruptcy. and also
consented to the withdrawal of the re-
ceivers who had been appointed.
1t is now recalled by the creditors
that in his first and only report as
president of the Trust Company. Mr..
Dresser gave assurances to the stock
holders which were not realized by
later DEVELOPMENTS. In that report,
which was made on January 20, Mr..
Dresser told the stockholders that the
principal transaction i'm which the in
fant Trust Company had been engaged
was i'm connection with the issue of the
bonds of the Shipbuilding Trust.

thought that predominated all others in

for the anniversary celebration at Valley

able. They but deepened the impressions
left by the silent wltnesses-the stone
house that was Washington's headquar-
ters trenches and redoubts on the barren
hilltops. traces Of the patriots huts. and
the crLmbling mounds of unmarked graves
The celebration marked dhe 125th anni-

by Washington and his army. II is the
first time in twenty-five years that there
has been such a gathering on the spot,
and recent events justified the occasion.
