EVERY R0SlN GRADE
HAS A CHRISTIAN NAME.
How the Grades Are Familiarity
known to Men who Handle 1t.

Not many people outside of the rosin
market who read the alphabetical
quotations know that each letter has
a significance to the laborers who cut
the boxes and pack the rosin into bar
rels for shipment They have given
each grade a name of it's own, rang
ing from the masculine to the femi-
nine gender, and embracing almost all
the common Christian names.
The only two grades that have
escaped the christening of the rosins
are the two top notch pales, which
are known as Window Glass and
Water White, and are designated at
the Board of Trade and on the Bay
by the abbreviated terms of WIG and
WV.
The other pales, mediums and COM
mons are thus known to the workers
in the pine forests, Nancy, Mary,
Kate, Isaac, Henry, George, Frank,
Edward, Dollie, Betsy, Carrie and
Alice.
Rosin inspectors have adopted these
terms and they are now officially
quoted on the board and in the fac
tors office.
They also serve as a convenience in
telephoning quotations and save con-
siderable trouble from the confusion
of the sound of a similarity of the let
tiers over the wire.

CUSTODIAN NAMED
FOR DAVIS STOCK
H. B. HARDEN APPOINTED
JUDGE SPEER SENT AUTHORITY
FOR APPOINTMENT BY WIRE.

Referee MacDoneII Refused to APP
point Custodian Before Matter Had
Been Formally Referred to Him,
without an Order from Judge
Speer, who Decided That Similar
Action in Branch Case Was Pre-
mature and IIIegaI-Schedule of
Liabilities and Assets VIII PrOba-
bly, Be Filed.
Mr. Henry B. Harden was yesterday
appointed custodian of the business
affairs of Mr.. T. ]. Davis, against
whom a petition in involuntary bank
ruptcy was filed the day before. Mr..
Harden will take charge of the bust
ness under a $1,000 bond.
In the efforts of attorneys repre-
senting creditors to have q custodian
appointed there was a slight clash,
Referee MacDonell refusing to appoint
a trustee, or receiver, before the mat
ter had been referred and considered
by the referee.

Alexander & Hitch, representing cred

appointment of a custodian. Judge
MacDonell refused to make the APP
pointment, as the same question
which was decided by Judge Speer in
the Branch case, was involved; that
of appointing a receiver before the
matter had come up for hearing be-
fore the referee.
Judge Speer's Former Ruling.
Judge Speer ruled that the action of
the referee was premature and illegal,
and set aside his act of appointment.
Although authorities were cited where
other judges had ruled the opposite of
Judge Speer in cases of a similar
character, the decision here was not
appealed.
When the application was made to
Judge MacDonell, for the appointment
of a receiver he stated he would take
no action unless ordered by Judge
Speer. The attorneys at once com
muncated with Judge Speer, who is
in New Orleans. and ShortlX after
noon a telegram was received author
izing the appointment of a custodian.
Judge MacDonell at once appointed MI :.
Harden.
By virtue of his office, Mr.. Harden is
authorized to take entire charge of the
affairs of Mr.. Davis. and to collect
all debts and accounts, which amount
to about $4,000. Other assets amount
to about $1,000, besides the real estate
in equity.
A Contest Is Likely.
There is little doubt that there will
be contest between creditors, as many
of them have not yet filed their claims,
and the outstanding notes and mort
gage deeds held by Mr.. James w.
Schley. and unsecured notes held by
Mr.. John Sullivan Schley, are to be
heard from.
The claims of the petitioning cred
itors amount to about $500, but out

other debts amounting to nearly $780,

A meeting of creditors of Mr.. Davis
will be held at the Office of Referee
MacDonell on the morning of Feb. 8,
at which time Mr.. Davis will probably
filed schedule of his assets and liabil-
tiles.
