In noting briefly the advantages and
resources OF Pullman and the surround
ing country, we wish also to emphasize
the desirahility of patronizing our local
merchants. Prices here are as low as
elsewhere, whether catalogue houses or
Spokane firms, and there is no better
way Of building up community than by
dealing with our own people. The dol
lar that is sent to Montgomery Ward &
Co., Sears, Roebuck x CO., and such like
never comes back, but when it is spent
here, part returns in the form of rent,
clerk hire, taxes, etc. Also our business
men are always ready to extend credit to
responsible parties, but cash must be
paid the outsider. Our merchants can
not afford to deal other than justly with
their patrons, and one can see exactly
what he is getting before making the
purchase, but we must trust to repre-
sentation when trading with the strang-
err, and il as is often the case, deceived,
there is no redress. All enterprises aim
ing to benefit the community always find
generous support from home commercial
men, but here again the outsider gives
nothing. This should be duly remem-
bered when giving our patronage. We
are safe when we confne our dealings to
those we know and can trust. COMPETE
ton here is keen in all lines, and prices
are at their proper level, so we repeat.
give your own chance, they will stand
by you. and ask only fair profit.
Pullman is lively, progressive town
oil 1000 inhabitants, situated in the heart
OF the famous Palouse country, in East
ern Washington, and located on the 0.
r. Il N. and q branch of the Northern
Pacific. Wheat is of course our greatest
crop, and our golden grain is known in
every market of the world We raise all
the other cereals except corn our fruits
cannot be excelled, and for stock, horses,
cattle, hogs. ETC., there is no better
country anywhere. Land is still held at
reasonable figure, and in short this is
model farming country, every year see-
ing greater increase in the prosperity
OF our people. immigration is invited,
and the stranger is given a cornial well
come and a square deal. We have the
Washington Agricultural College, a
tiourishing institution attended by sew
eral hundred fine young men and wom-
en-, and it adds, of course, greatly to the
prestige of Pullman, as we'll as to the
commercial importance of the town. We
have all the facilities that an up-to-date,
progressive city of 1000 should have, as
churches, schools, banking, telephone
and telegraph facilities, excellent eli
mate, fine water, and in fact all the sd-
Vantages that could be expected. A
splendid market is at our doors for all
we raise, and fortunate are they who cast
their lot with us. Pullman invites the
strctest invsstigation-there is plenty
of room for more.

fraud which not substantiated 1t said
yesterday the office OF the New-York Life Insur-

facts were substantially these:

Larceny-May Be Accused of Forgery Also

Albert II. Fish, who for some years had been
assistant manager of the Patchogue Cooperative
Store, in Patchogue. arrested in Long Island
City yesterday, charged with embezzement he
alighted from a train with his wife and two small
children He had been in charge of the grocery de-
partment of the store for six years. For days
he had been quietly making preparations to leave
Patchogue.
Yesterday, after he had boarded an early train,
George Holmes the manager of the store. went to
the store and found that Fishs drawer in the safe
was empty. and that considerable cash, which
should have been in the safe. was also gone He
then took the steps which led to Fishs arrest.
The arrest was for alleged grand larceny, but it
is possible that Fish will have to face several
charges of forging checks 1t is alleged that on
Thursday evening Fish called Roscoe Mills and
also on Harmon, Mills & Co, of Patchogue, and
induced them to cash checks for him Both these
checks the Patchogue Bank, but were
turned back by the bank yesterday. The check
names il being fictitious. but the OLE cashed by
Bammon Mills & Co, is said to be forgery. 1t is
alleged to bear the of d. f. A. De Otto, as
sistant sIperintendent the Long Island District of
the Life Saving Service. Lieutenant De Otto denies
the signature, and shows his stubs to show that
the last check given by him to the Cooperative
Store cashed long ago. and was for a small
amount. 1t is alleged that two other forged or at
least worthless, checks reached the bank during
the day.
When Fish reached Patchogue he was at once
arraigned before Justice Carman. a search
made of his and his wifes baggage. and about 500
in cash found This corresponds in amount with
the estimate of the stolen, which is made
by Mr.. Holmes Fish stoutly protested his inno-
The charge of grand larceny in the second degree
was entered against him

CREDITORS TAKE UNSECURED NOTE.
Have Confidence in Debtor Who Offered to
Turn Over Entire Assets.

A rather harsh business proceeding was yester-
day lightened by a touch of dramatic sympathy
when the creditors of Signund Trautrnann, presi-
dent of the Trautmann Importing Company, of No.
64S Broadway unanimously voted TO accept the un-
secured note of their debtor for 25 per Of his
liabilities. payable in year. Mr.. Trautmann
practsed economy to the extent of frugal luncheons
in his office at Decent rate. and when busi-
ness difficulties beset him offered his creditors his
entire business, his assets amounting to about
S25, 600 and his liabilities covering the amount
thereby leaving himself penniless. This sf-
fected his creditors that they voted to allow him to
continue his business and to accept his note.
When he heard Of this act of confidence, which
was the result of a report OF special committee
appointed to investigate his affairs and reported
recommending such action yesterday, he was
moved to tears and gratefully accepted
the generous offer. The offer to turn over
his entire assets to his creditors was made
through his attorneys. Aaronstamm & Chorash, of
No. "a Park Row, who yesterday confirmed the
story.
'It does not happen once in lifetime that the
honesty of debtor and the forbearance of the
settlement" said fl. w. Chorash.

TO FIGHT FORECLOSURE.
OF sI6.OOO,0OO MORTGAGE.
Receiver of U. S. ShipbuiIding Com
pany Prepared for Court Order.

Judge Andrew Kirkpatrick sitting in the
United States District Court at Newark, yester-
day signed an order, on application of counsel
representing the Mercantile Trust Company Of
New-York. permitting that corporation to fore
close the S16.O0OO00 mortgage OF the United
States Shipbuilding Company held by it as
trustee for bondholders.
The order was signed in the absence of coun-
sci representing the receiver Of the insolvent
shipbuilding company. The petition sets forth
the default in payment of the interest charges
due early in July The petition may be filed
with any United States District Court. and a
day will then be fixed for argument by counsel
for and against the allowance of the foreclosure.
The receiver. James Smith, jr.. will oppose the
suit
The order permitting the filing Of the petition
has been anticipated by counsel representing the
receiver. and the legal battle to prevent the
foreclosure when il takes place Will be of an ex-
citing nature
A conference was held yesterday afternoon at
the offices OF the United States Shipbuidng
Company between Receiver Smith, W. q. Nc
Adoo, his attorney; Samuel Untermyer and h
V. Lindabury, of counsel for the complainants
upon whose application a receiver was ap-
pointed. and Lewis Nixon, president of the com
pany. The decision of Judge Kirkpatrick per-

close the Sic, 100000 first mortgage of the ship
building company the subject under discus
sion. but at the close of the conference 1t was
announced that no statement would be given
out
The S16.OOOO0O bond issue covers all the as
sets OF the shipbuilding company, with the ex-
ception OF the Bethlehem Steel Works, which
has a separate and distinct first mortgage or
S10000o00 held exclusively by Charles NJ.
Schwab The foreclosure suit now would result
in the practical ruin Of the corporation, the only
who would recover being the mortgage
holders who would probably buy the property
in for less than the face value Of the mortgage.
