Made by the Importers and Traders Bank
on the WhitlOck Estate, In New Haven.

ment Of the bankruptcy case of former

Mr.. Whitlock recently filed statement
of his assets. They were found to be nearly
sufficient to pay his debts, and the estate
was almost settled when this claim came
up.
Mr., Dresser bought from the Whitlock
Realty Company, of which Senator Whit
lock was the president twenty -one acres
OF land on Staten Island The company OF
which Dresser was the head failed before
the money was paid for the land. Mr.
Whitlock, with several other creditors,
proposed to the remainder of the creditors,
according To the claim of the New York
bank, to give Dresser an extension Of time
for the payment of this debt from April
to July 1903. Whitlock signed an agree
ment giving Dresser this extension and
agreeing to pay his debt to the bank if
he didn't settle at the expiration of that
time.
Dresser didn't pay In the meantime
Whitlock failed. The creditors for Dresser
now want to take the money for which
they say Mr.. Whtlock is liable out of the
bankrupt WhtiUck estate. The case will
be fought 10y no creditors here of Mr.

COPS COULDN'T HANDLE WOMEN
Greene Wants to Know More About the
Goelet Wedding Mob.

Police Commissioner Greene called on
Inspector W. W. Mclaughlin yesterday
for a report on the mobbing on Tuesday
afternoon OF Miss May Goelet's carriage
just before her marriage to the Duke OF
Roxburghe at st. Thomas's Church. In.
spector Mclaughlin had charge Of the
police arrangements.
Commissioner late yesterday afternoon,
Mclaughlin did not deny that the crowd
got the better of his policemen, and
attempted to explain matters. He said
that three days ago, under orders from
Chief Inspector Cortright, he went to the
home of r. 7. Wilson, Jr., and talked
with him about police arrangements.
The inspector was told, he says, that q
small number OF persons had been invited
to the church, and that the service would
be short. On this information hedecided
that small force would be able to handle
the crowd. Only fifty men were ordered
to be outside Of the church.
In regard to the crowd that swooped
down on the carriage McLaurhlin said
that his force was simply overwhelmed
by well dressed mob of women" He
policemen to use their night sticks, and
says that all they could do was to shove
the crowd back.
All Commissioner Greene would say yes
terday was that he thought that Inspector
Mclaughlin used bad judgment in not get
ting a much larger force of men to the
scene earlier than no did.

Power Of AttOrney--COurt says It's
a Curious Business and Wants TO Know
what Consideration, II Any, Passed.

Mrs. Emile j.. dHerblay has begun
an action in the Supreme Court to recover
possession Of the house l2 East Thirteenth
street, which she owned for twenty years,
but which. according to deeds on file In the
County Clerks office, is now the property
Of John Flood, said TO be an actor.
Mrs. d d'Herblay is past 80 years old and
very nearsighted. She intrusted Mrs
Helen Reddicls with a power of attorney
to collect the rent Of the house, On Oct,
2s last. as Mrs d'Herblay has since dis
covered, two deeds were simultaneously
filed in the Registers office. One, pur-
porting to have been signed and delivered
by Mrs. d d'Herblay on Dec. 2l, 1901, con-
veyed the house to Mrs. Reddick, and the
other conveyed it from Mrs. Reddck to
John Flood who boards in Mrs, Reddick' g
house, According to Otto H. Droege. Mrs.
d d'Herblay's counsel. Flood is an actor
without means.
Mr.. Droege appeared before Supreme
Court Justice Clarke yesterday asking for
the appointment of a temporary receiver
for the property and an Injunction to re-
strain Mrs. keddick. John Flood and Edwin
Weed. codefendant who has small
Judgment against Mrs. dHerblay, from
collecting or disposing Of the rents of the
house. Mr. Droege told the Court that
Mrs. d Herblay had brought suit to have
the two deeds set aside on the ground of
fraud. She denies ever consciously exc
cutting any such deed TO Mrs. Reddick. but
admits that SO implicit was her confidence
in the woman that she was in the habit Of
signing any paper that Mrs. Reddck as
sured her was "all right, as she is too near
sighted to read. The property in ques-
ton is Mrs. d'Herblays sole means of
subsistence, and said Mr.. Droege, IL she
cannot get II back she must starve
Counsel for Flood attempted to reply 70
Mr.. Droeges arguments but when he told
Justice Clarke, in answer to a question,
that he had no knowledge of what con-
sideration had passed between Mrs Reddck
and Flood in return for the deed, Justice
Clarke declined to hear him any further.
Counsel for Mrs. A,ddick in opposing
Mrs. d Herblay owed Mrs. Reddick some
house had been executed to guarantee the
payment Of the money.
Justice Clarke remarked that he thought
temporary receiver should be appointed.
From your own statements" he said to
counsel for Mrs. Reddick. there has been
some curious business here somewhere.
Can you explain the deed to Floodl"
But your Honor" interjected counsel,
"we want to protect Mr.. Floods rights.
and we think Mrs d'Herblay should give
bond in $50, 900 at least for that purpose"
Il don't quite see what Floods rights
are" said Justice Clarke, "sir @, there does
not appear to have been any valid con.

OF q Union That adds Treachery
Abe Gruber, the Republican leader OF

reconvened to put Grout and Fornes of

twenty-four hours so that the Citizens
Union might be coerced into indorsing

gave notice last night that ne will try to
tir up a fight against the Citizens Union
next Thursday night at the monthly meet
ing Of the Republican county committee.
Il don't propose to let Cutting get away
with his game, said Gruher. "He actually
thought that Low would win easily lGruber
wagered that Low would lose Manhattan

Gus to the fur d lInental conditions which

shows that he is ready and willing to use

same time dicker wit h Tammany in Repub-
lican stronghods to destroy the Republican

Mr.. Gr,iber thinks that it was principally
beat low, He said: Low was ri right at
first. He was swept off his feet by news
paper pounding and the radicalism Of
Jerome and Greene, As soon as he sane
toned their methods we were doomed to
defeat. The universality Of belief in the
immortality of the soul is regarded as proof
that souls are immortal. In like manner
it strikes me the universality Of the shrink
age in the antiTammany vote in every
county, borough and Assembly district
is conclusive proof that the masses Of the
voters, despite the excellent showing made
along administrative lines by the Low
heads of departments, wanted a change,
-Within a few years look to see built up

many organization that this city ever has
1t and incidentally will produce it. 1t will
not be of1cered by men like Cutting, for

LABOR CONVENTION STORMY.
BoisterOus Conduct OF Delegates to the
Federation Meeting in Boston,

BosToN, Nov. l1.-To-day's session Of
the American Federation Of Labor was
boisterous because Of despatch sent here
by the International Union Of Journeymen
Bakers and Confectioners Of Cleveland
demanding that its delegates be seated
Immediately Every kind of motion
that in any way could affect the situation
was made, much to the bewilderment of
the Chair. 1t finally developed into de-
mand for roll call on the question of laying
the whole matter on the table. The secre-
tary said that there was no roll in the hall,
and 1t became necessary to defer the matter
to the next session.
The protest against the seating of an
other delegate. Ernest Bohm of New York,
caused almost as much trouble and had
not been disposed of when a motion to
adjourn passed the convention. Another
storm was caused by the distribution in
the hall of literature without the uuion
label. The delegates wanted to know
about il, and President Gompers replied
that he had seen such literature and had
it collected and thrown out of the room
Mr. Gompers announced that some one
had so committed himself to the common
ownership as to have stolen his overcoat
yesterday and he was very anxious for
It's return. This evening the delegates
had banquet at the expense of the city.
