RECEIVER FOR EDMAYER &CO. Creditors File Petition
 Against the Firm. LARGE DRYG0ODS CONCERN Sylvain Marks Named by Court to Take Charge. Member of Firm Declares That There is Money Enough in Sight to
 Satisfy creditors-caused -
 by Sale.

On petition of creditors a receiver was appointed yesterday for Ed Mayer & Co.,, one of the best known retail drygoods houses in Montgomery, doing large busi- ness on Dexter Avenue.
 A petition in involuntary bankruptcy was filed in the United States Court yes- terday afternoon by The Spool Cotton Company, Sherman Reid & Co.,. and the Arlington Apron Company against Ed Mayer & Go.
 The petition ayers that the alleged bankrupt owes the petitioners more than $1 600 and Is unable to pay them. They accordingly pray that he be adjudged bankrupt. A petition for the appoint ment of a receiver was also filed and Referee Asa E. Stratton immediately ap- pointed Sylvain Marks of Montgomery, his bond of indemnity being filed and approved. ..
 The answer of the alleged bankrupt is set for June g.
 Mir. Mayer, when seen at his home on Holcornbe Street last night, indicated that the bankruptcy proceedings would not be opposed He said that the past year had been a bad one with him and his debts had accumulated. In order to have cash ready to meet these debts, he said he inaugurated a bargain sale, which was managed by a representative Of firm, skilled in the handling of such sales. This representative he said advertised the sale extensively, through circulars, signs and the daily newspapers. Creditors in the East heard o1 the sale and read the ad- yersitements. MT. Mayer said that these creditors misconstrued the purpose of the sale and immediately placed their bills In the hands of attorneys for collection as a result of which bankruptcy proceed ings were instituted.
 He said that the sale was very satis- factory and he was paying his creditors as fast as the money from the sale came in. MT. Meyer said he was of the opinion that if the creditors had held off two or three weeks longer. he would have. been in a position to satisfy them perfectly
 While not stating his assets and liaoili- ties, MT. Mayer said that his finances are not embarrassed beyond redemption. He believes that he will be able to ar- range his business troubles satisfactorily to all persons concerned.
 MT, Mayer has been in business Tn Montgomery a number of years. At one time he conducted a small dry goods busi- ness on a cash system and about two years ago, opened up a large business on both cash and credit basis.
 Receiver Marks has taken charge of the business and for the present will conduct 1t on regular business lines.

rruments of MT. Murphy wer. sup

arguments of Mir. Murphy were sup ported.
 Mir. Gates made short talk. in which he encouraged the canvassing board and Y. M c. A. workers of Montgomery. He assured the Board of the co-opera- ton and assistance of the State and In-' transitional Committees. and appealed to the Board to continue the canvass. He considered the proposition of new Y. N. c. A. building for Montgomery as a thoroughly fair and reliable one, and said 1t would be . question of only a reason able time before a building thoroughly adequate for the work of the Associa- ton would be built.
 L. D. Dix, General Secretary, of the Montgomery Association, made . few re- marks in which he briefly related to the Board the present status of the canvass.
 About Slo,0oo. he said, had Seen pledged. few large subscriptions making the amount. He said he had met with few obstacles, and that regardless of the seemingly slow canvass, he was conh- dent of the ultimate success of the ven- ture.
 The canvassing committee was author ized by the Board to continue the can-- vass, confining 1t until the next meeting to the large subscriptions.
 The Board adjourned after an hours session.
 To a representative of The Advertiser. Mr. Gates said that he was thoroughly satisfied with the condition of affairs in Montgomery. Every canvass he said, must be made by degrees, and the outlook for $SS,oo0 building with all the modern equipment of an Association building was by no means .discouraging.
 Asked when he thought the erection of the new building would begin, Mir. Gates said.
 'The time is entirely dependent on the the action of the Board, and is a matter which cannot yet be discussed, but think the building will be a realization within reasonable length of time.''
 MT. Gates, who has supervision of the Y. M. C.. A. work in the South, was in Montgomery Thursday and Friday in the interest of the State Committee. He said the Association work in Montgomery had decidedly improved during the past year and that it was beginning another year of prosperity.
 MT. Gates left last night for Mobile.

 NEW BUILDING.
Addressed by Messrs. Murphy and Gates Who Urge That Large Subscriptions Be Secured.
 Progress is Reported.

At a called meeting of the Board or Directors of the Young Mems Christian Association, held In the Association par lors at o'clock yesterday evening, the status of the new building movement was fully discussed before Edgar Gardner Murphy and c. l.. Gates of Atlanta, ln- ternational Secretary, and speeches were IT. ade showing the progress of the Asso- ciation.
 The meeting was called for the pur- puse of discussing the situation before MT. Murphy, who is the representative of George Foster Peabody of New York City, and Mir. Gates, the latter having been in Montgomery on State Y. M. C.. A. business.
 F. c. spepard. President of the Board of Directors, was out of the city and the meeting was presided over by Vice-Presi dent J. l.. Holloway.
 Mir. Murphy was called upon to talk of the building movement from the view point of himself and MT. Peabody.
 He said he felt encouraged by the out come of the canvass so far. and that he thought the building would be realized in due course of time. The canvass, he said, had necessarily been slow, but it was nevertheless encouraging.
 He urged that large subscriptions be canvassed for first, saying that the sue, cess of the fund would depend upon tho large amounts pledged.
 MT. Murphy said that when the Mont gomery officials and canvassing commit tee had thoroughly canvassed the city and had done what was in their power to enhance the success of the movement, he would do what he could further in se- curing the required funds. This. how ever, he said was purely problematical.
 Referring to a suitable site for the building. MT Murphy praised the Gaston property on Dexter Avenue, but said that no lot should be purchased until the mon- ey was pledged.

 Why are New Englanders the bravest and most brilliant of Americas sons, and why do their deeds emblazon the pages os American histories? The answer is the same as to the old conundrum: Why are the Jews the chosen people?' The answer Is. Because they wrote the book"
 The New Englanders write the histories, and the rest of the world read them and accept them as gospel truth. And the New England societies scattered through the West meet annually to hear addresses declaring the New Englanders the chosen people, and their speeches reported in the newspapers serve to confirm the impress sion.
 No reflection is intended on the sense of justice of New Englanders. The bias is hereditary and unconscious. A man who is in the habit of thinking along cer- tain lines unconsciously becomes preju- diced.

AFTER TEMPEsTuous VOYAGE
Steamer Dawson City Arrives at Port
Townsend.

. tOWnSeRds
Port Townsend, Wash, Jan. 81. -
The steamer Dawson City, eighty-six
days from Nome, reached here yester-
day under sail after a tempestuous
voyage. The entire trip was marked
by a succession of accidents and ex-
a%sperating delays, while the fury Of
the elements seemed to combine to
injure her passage to her destination.
Soon after starting south the boilers
commenced leaking, with the result
that the fresh water supply was con-
sumed. Then fuel began to run short
and the vessel was forced to resort to
such canvass aboard as could be
fashioned into sails. The vessel put
into Port Moller for fuel and water.
and after remaining two weeks, start
ed again, only to run into fresh storms
which drove her from her course.
Again fuel RAJ out, so the Dawson City
headed for Dutch Harbor. At this port
her sailors deserted and refused to
continue the voyage. The run from
Dutch Harbor to this Fort was made
In twenty-five days, a very good show
ing considering the weather and the
facilities for handling the vessel. The
Dawson City brought no passengers
except her owners, Felix Brown of Sc
attic and his wife.
