DAN J. SULLy Case
Speculative Millionaires Who Stood
Behind the Cotton Bull Are
Likely to Be Sued.
BOOKS OF THE COLLAPSED FIRM
MAY MAKE some REVELATIONS.
II Ii Alleged That sull>, In Addition
10 His Regular brokerage Bust
ness, Was the Manager Of Certain
Pools Organized For the Purpose
OF BulIipG Cotton,

New York, March 2i-Men who are
believed to have made millions out Of
the bull pools conducted in the past
by Daniel J. Sully, the bankrupt
king, will be dragged into court and
made to tell all about their business
relations with Sully, If the present
plans Of large number Of the credit
ors are carried into execution,
The consequent revelations should
such step be taken, it is said, would
exhibit a phase of speculative high
finance that would astonish not only
the public but considerable portion
Of the financial district.
Creditors Statement.
II Is declared by one of the largest
creditors Of Sully and one of the most
substantial men in the cotton trade.
that the books of the firm will show
that, in addition to the regular broker
age business, Sully was he manager OF
certain pools for bullng cotton
The way these pools were planned
and the details worked out had a tinge
of romance The members of the pool
talked them over while playing Sweet
heart poker" in a room on one Of the
upper floors of the Hoffman house.
"Svccthcnrt Poker"
Sweetheart poker was the regular
American game, with a condition at
tached to the winning This condition
was that the winners should hand over
all of their winnings to their wives.
The unmarried ones were pledged to
give the winnings to their sweethearts.
The creditors argue the matter in
this way;
The cause of the collapse Of Sully
was one Of these pools. He had pre-
yiously managed several othor pools IN
which the profits had run into the
millions,
They Tool, the Winnings.
These profits were distributed TO the
members. If the members were entitled
to the winnings, the responsibility Of
the losses also deyolyes upon them, the
creditors contend, even II they were
not members of Sully's firm.
Sully by Offering 40 cents on the
dollar, they say is putting up his full
share of the loss, and the other mem
bers Of the pool should be made TO
make up the remaining 60 per cent

Judge Parker, in his address to
the graduates of the Albany Law
School, gave this advice. "All
we have to do is to do right; meet
our share of the burdens of citi-
zenship in the community; do the
right thing between man and
man; do no fraud. out do every
thing that is right and noble for
the clients cause, and be careful
to let nothing happen that will
injure our reputation. If you do
that you will succeed. = y | would

After lying 36 hours in her cof-
fin, Mabel Fearing, the 5 year
old daughter Of c. NJ. Fearing,
has been revived at Custer, South
Dakota. The child was saved
through the intervening of DR.. b.
S. Norton, a relative, who was at
the house to attend the funeral.
DR.. Norton noted the rosy cheeks
and unchanged appearance of the
child and refused to permit the
coffin to be closed. He called
other physicians and an effort
was made to revive the child. At
last signs of returning animation
were noted. Half an hour later

TRIUMPHs OF MODERN SURGERY

Wonderful things are done for the
human body by surgery. Organs are
taken out and scraped and polished and
put back, or they may be removed en-

anticeptic dressings are applied to
wounds, bruises, burns and like injuries

NATURE PROVIDES.

That nature provides an anti
dote for every poison and for
every insectiferous pest as prompt
ly and effectively as the wisdom
OF one proverb is provided with
antidotal wisdom of an opposite,
is the opinion of q writer for the
Cincinnati Commercial Tribune.
The boil weevil is cited as an ex-
ample. This writer says:
In far-off Guatemala the agri-
cultural department has found an
ant that just fairly revels in fight
ing the boil weevil and 6xtermi-
mating him wherever found. The
direct discovery was made III
Gautenalan fields of cotton by
Botanist Cook, and to him Secre-
tary Wilson has cabled asking
him to indicate how many meE
and how much money he Will need
III corralling sufficient number
of ants and shipping them to the
cotton fields of their Uncle Sam.
So far so good. But it Is some
thing we'll to look upon extermi-
nators of other insects as being
very often, in themselves, some-
thing of a nuisance. The story
of the farmer who was discovered
sitting on the fence bemoaning
that the worms had eaten his
tomato plants, his chickens had
eaten the worms and his cats had
eaten his chickens, and he was
only waiting for some sort of all
animal to come along and eat his
cats, is o story in point. The
English sparrow was imported
and turned loose for the purpose
of DISCRIMINATING tree worms, and
not only succeeded, but has about
exterminated the song birds and
IS a nuisance in many other re-
spects-principally in the way of
roostihg on telephone wires. The
Australians imported the mon
goose for the purpose of Kidding
the bush of snakes, and are now
praying vociferouslv for radiance
from the mongoose, and the line
might be extended indefinitely.
However, it is up to UNCLE Sam
uel, whose head is evel and whose
intentions are always Just right.

The natives Of Guatemala are

ence, for when she comes in sight
